The shop in Germany in the World showcase had many hats that were animals. I don't know if this is truly a German thing, but they were hilarious!
A lovely visit to Epcot on 5th August 2013.
Separately took some great footage of the fireworks in HD video.
About an hour before the firework a huge storm hit the park - lighting the place up and soaking us through to the skin!!
EPCOT signature structure. EPCOT is an acronym of Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow.The structure was designed with the help of science fiction writer Ray Bradbury, who also helped write the original storyline for the attraction.
The term 'Spaceship Earth' was coined by Buckminster Fuller, who also developed the structural mathematics of the geodesic dome. It weighs over 15.5 million pounds and it is 156 ft in diam. Total height is 185 feet. The skin was designed so that when it rains, no water pours off the sides onto the ground. Instead the water runs through one inch gaps in the facets and is collected in a gutter system and finally channeled into the World Showcase Lagoon located nearby.
