Live where I live and you get the best of both worlds.

Good weather, free healthcare, people are nice, and if you want to head to the US for some cheap gas, and groceries... it`s an hour drive. Covered in snow.... sounds like something a guy who uses the imperial method would say.

lol  I was referring to the beginning of the 360 show at the Epcot Canada pavilion. Canada is awesome.

Epcot's Canada is too epic. Much better than the America Pavilion...

I haven't seen this epcot you speak of since Captain Eo was playing. 1987 I believe.

The better my dollar gets the more I like America. lol

In all seriousness though our two countries offer a nice mix of Similarity, and contrast. What I mean is visiting the other is all too similar but you know that your not home. I think Wendy's helps the overall cause. lol

Not a fan of the new canada film @ epcot. Still one of my fav pavilions though. And imo, the film montage @ the end of American Adventure put to golden dream is just freakin awesome. :)

Really? The Canadian video blows me away. It's so uplifting and exciting. Never has propaganda ever worked so well on me. It makes me want to live there, then I remember it gets cold enough here. It's such a beautiful country! I'd love to explore all over it given enough vacation time. Dare I say it looks more beautiful than our beautiful country.

Have you seen the new one that was just put in last year?  Maybe I just didn't think Martin Short was that funny. I liked the old movie better but think the new one certainly has better cinema value... Except for Short. Just like the other shows with celebrities (Ellen???), it will seem dated quickly.

Btw- I certainly don't hate it lol

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about (I've seen it twice in the last two years). Dan and Clint loved it too. I found Martin Short's narration to be mostly good, aside from a couple of super cheesy moments. Never saw the original and had no expectations at all the first time I went in to see it. It was the highlight of my day at Epcot... until we ate at Nine Dragons. MMMMMMMMMM!!!!

No, I wanted to try the steak house, but now it's been upgraded to "deluxe dining", I'm not sure if I will. Nine Dragons is just so good!

Don't worry, Canada Boy will bring us back on topic with his countdown shortly. ;)

Well, before he does, I wanted to point out that I'm ok with the bump it just got. It was crazy that you had to book at least 6 months in advance and no chance of a walk up all due to the dining plan. Now at least it should open up a little.

Great, we're back on Epcot until Sunday. ;)

I did like the part where he said his parents "just so happened to have a circle vision camera" when he was a young boy. lol

P.S. I haven't made it through the Energy Pavilion since 1993 and I've been back there six or seven times since. When Clint found out they had dinosaurs, he was upset we missed it.

I was about 14 my first time there, had already ridden about 150 roller coasters, yet I still loved Epcot, even before all the exciting rides were added (like Test Track and Mission Space).  It was weird, but I always wanted to go back there instead of the Studios park. 

1 day closer!!!

I was 6, lol. Who would've thought I would be tall enough to ride rock n' rollercoaster... Been back there about 5 more times and I still feel like a kid.

I loved the Canada movie. That combined with the recent Olympics makes me want to visit badly. My buddy Don has been trying to get me to come and go to Wonderland.

Coaster is a splendid ride....It's Phare, and that's a very good thing!
