Wandering Disney
We got up late, and just meandered around World Showcase today. It's a nice part of Epcot - kind of like a permanent world's fair. When we passed the French Pavilion, there was a guy doing a show outside - as an assistant handed him chairs, he stacked them and climbed up. Here's a shot of him:

The guy further down is handing a chair up. Here's the guy all the way at the top - the last chair only had three legs:

Then we saw something I haven't seen before (odd, given how many times I've been to the place) - there's a drawbridge over near the Mexican pavilion, and in the mid afternoon they open it up and send in the fireworks ships. Here's a ship with the launchers they use to send some of them up at night:

It was a nice day too - cooler here than it was when I went to Ohio a couple weeks ago to teach a Smalltalk class. Go figure :)

Did you go in the French pavilion and see its marvelous 360 degree movie tour of France? I particularly liked the musical score that went with it.

We've been to WDW several dozen times, since we're just a few hours away in Jacksonville. I've seen the drawbridge go up but never the chair stacker. That Mexican restaurant in the pyramid is great.
