Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Indeed there are many castles, mainly ruins of different degrees, but with the exception of a dozen or so.

But he is a friendly Spirit, who sometimes comes bearing plush. And while the Spirit is picky about who he chooses to meet on an earthly plane, he will say he has never met an unpleasant LPer!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo >>>he will say he has never met an unpleasant LPer! <<< Agreed. I too really like every LPer I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Back on original post, my fav memories at Epcot - well yep, I'm with demderoseguys - IROE is my fav show in all of Florida (unless night time NASA launches count). And ToN was my fav Disney parade ever. Mix in the fact that Epcot has the most celebrations, and the best Christmas celebrations.

Hundreds and hundreds of times as I've often just wandered into EPCOT at night just to have a drink, walk around the lagoon for exercise and view it. Just a spectacular show (although so too were its predecessors).

Originally Posted By bobbelee9 Yes, Tapestry of Nations was super fantastic.

TofDreams just wasn't the same. Nice but not great.

Originally Posted By RoadTrip <<USA has a tavern?>> I think it was name confusion. The USA pavilion at Epcot has a fast-food place called the Liberty Inn which does not serve alcohol. The Magic Kingdom has a table service restaurant called the Liberty Tree Tavern, which also, in spite of its name, does not serve alcohol. I think FenwayGirl was perhaps mixing up the names. Probably happens all the time to Red Sox fans...

Originally Posted By sharon2 Hey RoadTrip!! NO cheap shots at Red Sox fans. Well at least not while we are in first place. I find the talking trash can slightly frightening. I love the sedate pace or WS.

By the way... remember when my Twins took 3 of 4 when your guys came here to play? (We won't talk about our record since then. I think we angered the baseball gods by thumping the defending champs.) ;-)
