Disney - The Epcot Globe

Disney - The Epcot Globe

While I was watching Extreme Makeover Home edition, they showed the Disney Epcot globe while the family was on vacation. I reminded me that I had not posted my photo from last week of the globe. I thought the whole park was in the globe. Little did I know about Epcot.

I can't believe it was a week ago that I was there in the sun, and it was snowing in Cleveland today.

Epcot Lake at Sundown

Epcot Lake at Sundown

While on a recent work trip to Orlando, I was fortunate enough to squeeze in a visit to Disney Epcot before the conference started.

I had posted an image of the Terracotta Army a few days ago, but I really loved this image of the lake at Epcot at sundown. The lights for the China section of the park really make the the reflection on the water look lovely.

Nothing better than seeing pink clouds at sunset when you know your co-workers are brushing snow off of their cars.

Terracotta Army Replica at Epcot

Terracotta Army Replica at Epcot

I am in Orlando for a Health Care Marketing Conference. I arrived a day before the conference and had some time to visit Disney Epcot. As part of the China exhibit, they had a replica of the Terracotta Army, also known as Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shi Huang the First Emperor of China.

The figures were discovered in 1974 and the current estimate of the total number of statues is around 8,000.

It is believed that the Emporer had the army of statues built to protect him in his final resting place.
