Indiana Jones

[Newhomebuyer]

I think that all the various outdoor performers make EPCOT extra special so if you go when the weather is bad and they are not around , then you miss alot of the atmosphere. If you have children along then I think that using the passports and Kidcot keeps them interested whilst adults appreciate the shops etc. In the past, when we have had young teens 10-13's with us, we have given them pin-trading tasks. They start off with a very cheap pin (a couple of dollars from the outlets) and they have to exchange in each country. It means they get chatting to the cast members from the different countries. Many of the cast members wear lanyards and the youngsters have enjoyed the challenge of trying to trade-up.

I think you should, we love the place as I keep saying. I think they have he perfect mix
of rides and education all in one. Both Emily and Sam loved it and Sam would normally moan
after an hour or so, but he didnt moan at all in Epcot.

All the parks are great, but for us Epcot wins hands down

Our children love making the masks too and one of us stays with them while the other one goes round the shops as our children HATE shopping in Florida (we spend too much time in Home Depot I think[:I])

We all also love Mission Space and Test Track so we always visit Epcot a few times when we are over

hi
when we were there in 2000 i got picked to be an extra in the show (after doing an extremley silly dance to get noticed and totally embarassing the kids/wife,disney does bring the kid out in you !!)
i loved every minute of it and was also picked by the director to do the death scene he shot me and i had to die dramatically so dramatic i grazed my knee on the concrete floor ( but already signed the waiver)it was good watching everything close up, pity they don't video it for a keepsake, but the kids bought me an oscar and told me to shut up and stop going on about it

here's a piccy of me with the director just before he shot me!!!

Sounds a great idea, what we need is an OV T-shirt each, ive seen John
wearing one on a piccie he posted on here

That way if we spot each other we can hide

I have yet to see Indiana Jones all the way through - I've been 4 times over the last 6 years!

1st time lightning struck the stage and the show was halted after about 10 mins.
all other times they have had problems with the effects - this last time with the plane...

Maybe one day I'll get to see it all!!

We went to Epcot and only did the World Showcase. We have in the past missed out parts of it by running out of time when doing the other part as well. We notice this time that there seemed to be a lot of extra little shows going on between the main country sites. They were very good and increased the pleasure of seeing the showcase.

The fireworks were very good but I still feel that the Magic Kingdom fireworks were better and more magical. Especially when Tinkerbell flies overhead.

Got picked to take part in Indianna Jones show a few years back,
I was a screamer! great fun, but you do get to miss most of the show I would have liked them to take some photo`s as on our ones I was like a tiny blurred dot and I`m not that tiny! Also boy was it hot in all that get-up, feel really sorry for the characters that have to walk around the parks

[Kickstart]

Hate to break the news but Tinkerbell doesn't fly anymore, well she didn't when we were there. New fireworks at MK are very good though I still think Epcot wins hands down.

We like Epcot a lot, but it was very, very busy when we went at Easter, (1.5hrs for Mission Space 30 mins wait just to get Fastpass tickets for test track!)
