Epcot's World Showcase is centered around a reflective lagoon. There are eleven countries represented here. As you stroll around, you'll transition from one country to the next. While each "land" is next to the other, you'll never get the sense that you're in two places at once. To enhance the experience, the Cast Members come from the country you're visiting and are always eager to talk about their homeland.
Epcot. Orlando, FL. Feb/2017
Epcot (originally named EPCOT Center) is a theme park at the Walt Disney World Resort in Bay Lake, Florida, near Orlando. It is owned and operated by the Walt Disney Company through its Parks and Resorts division. Inspired by an unrealized concept developed by Walt Disney, the park opened on October 1, 1982, and was the second of four theme parks built at Walt Disney World, after the Magic Kingdom. Spanning 300 acres (120 ha), more than twice the size of the Magic Kingdom park, Epcot is dedicated to the celebration of human achievement, namely technological innovation and international culture, and is often referred to as a "permanent World's Fair". The park is divided into two sections: Future World, made up eight pavilions, and World Showcase, themed to eleven world nations.
In 2015, the park hosted approximately 11.98 million guests, ranking it the third most visited theme park in North America and the sixth most visited theme park in the world. The park is represented by Spaceship Earth, a geodesic sphere that also serves as an attraction. Epcot was known as EPCOT Center until 1994 when it was later renamed Epcot '94, then Epcot '95, now commonly known simply as Epcot.

This is an HDR shot I composed manually and then put together when I got home from Disney.
Looking at it now it might be a little too bright. It looked better on my laptop screen. But I love the design of the pavilion. And it is impossible to get any decent shot of this without using HDR.
The ' Dust bin band ' giving it their all to a very interested audience.
What wonderful music they made out of dustbins.
Not noticed by most visitors, just outside the main gate to Epcot is the dedication plaque. It reads:
Epcot
To all who come to this
Place of Joy, Hope and Friendship
Welcome
Epcot is inspired by Walt Disney's
creative vision. Here, human achievements
are celebrated through imagination, wonders
of enterprise and concepts of a future that
promises new and exciting benefits for all.
May EPCOT Center entertain, inform, and inspore
and above all, may it instill a new sense of belief
and pride in man's ability to shape a world
that offers hope to people everywhere.
