We begin our tour of the World Showcase of countries. We'll fill up a passport before we're done. Canada is up first. I would say it's realistic, but it lacks hockey.
Three snap peas in a pod

A myth busted this week: we dined at Disney–all of us and it cost $39. That's for the "convenience" places, that is–walk up service. The seated lunch yesterday in Norway was over $200. The kids agreed that was crazy and opt for this instead–so we can spend the money elsewhere, of course.
Trio of creative imaginations

John's helping Zuzu customize a funny-face picture of herself in the Imagination Institute. We had just experienced "Honey, I shrunk the audience"–a 3D experience film complete with effects that bring the film into the audience. Part made Kate scream and pull up her feet. You'll have to ask her about it.
It’s also a land of sponsors

It's a tad bit blurry, but the "Sponsored by Nestle" sign was everywhere in the "Land" pavilion. High point of this was a ride called Soaring; a simulated free-flight over California. It was unanimously voted ride we'd all most like to repeat. Those sponsor signs, though, just seem tawdry in this place… And I SELL that stuff. I guess its necessary. But, it's Disney World… Do I really need to know the paper towels in the men's room are Brawny brand? Ugh.
Inside the land of imagination

This is the view above the concourse. I was just taken by the sight and snapped this. We spent most of the morning here in the Land Pavilion and returned for lunch in the four seasons dining area where the tables are colored for the four seasons—Kate noticed that.
