May 5 - Soarin at Epcot
On this day in Disney history…
Grand Opening of Soarin in Walt Disney World’s EPCOT Center in Orlando, Florida, the greatest vacation destination for families on earth. The newest addition to The Land Pavilion at Epcot is Soarin, similar to Disney’s California Adventure as a part of Disneyland’s 50th Anniversary, “The Happiest Celebration on Earth.” EPCOT is the second gate at the Walt Disney World Resort and the third Disney theme park worldwide. The name stands for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Walt Disney envisioned EPCOT to be a showcase for innovation, Like so many of his ideas, he intended for it to never be completed, continuing to keep up with the ages and times. Since its opening in 1982, Epcot has done just that. It is an awesome place where families can explore the wonders of science and the diversity of our world’s cultures. The second largest Disney theme park worldwide, EPCOT has approxiamtely 300 acres of rides, shows, attractions, interactive presentations, dining, shopping and architectural wonders in two unique and seperate areas, Future World and World Showcase. Soarin takes you across the Golden State of California as you glide 40 feet high in the air and view the beautiful landscape below.
