On day 3, we headed for Epcot. We started out seeing "Soarin'" which was brought in from California Adventure at Disneyland. "Soarin" is similar to the old Circle Vision Theatre at Disneyland, only you are sitting in a long flying row of seats that is raised into a 3-story high circular, concave screen. When the movie starts, it feels like you are really flying over the landscape. The landscape is the state of California (the original ride at California Adventure is called "Soarin Over California". The ride here at Epcot is virtually the same.

As we wandered through a beautiful rose garden, we ended up at the World Showcase Lagoon. This is a rather large lake at the south end of Epcot. All around the lagoon are pavilions representing the nations of the world.

The evening was topped off with "Illuminations", a light show / fireworks and music with the theme of the world community. It was spectacular.
