Disney Day 3

The third day of our trip was spent in Epcot, which I learned was an acronym for Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. Epcot was filled with cool things to see. This park, is geared more towards adults than the Magic Kingdom or Hollywood Studios parks. This park is split up into two main areas, Future World and the World Showcase. These two areas are then broken up into their own respective pavilions and attractions. For instance, Future World has Spaceship Earth, also known as the giant globe like structure in the center of the park, The Land, The Sea, Test Track, etc. while The World Showcase brings different cultures and countries to Disney. The World Showcase houses 11 pavilions that all represent different countries. Upon entering, you can go left or right. The countries included from the left entrance are as follows: Mexico, Norway, China, Germany, Italy, United States, Japan, Morocco, France, United Kingdom, and Canada. If you were to enter from the right, it would be reversed. Each pavilion had shops, restaurants, and attractions from those countries. We started off in Mexico where there is a small ride showing the culture and architecture of Mexico, after Mexico was the most popular, Norway. Norway is currently the most popular pavilion due to the fact that it recently opened a Frozen themed water ride. Most pavilions had a character highlight. Mexico had Donald Duck, Norway had Elsa and Anna, China had Mulan, Germany had Snow White, France had Belle, etc. At night, we had dinner at a restaurant called The Coral Reef which was part of The Sea pavilion in Future World. This restaurant had a glass wall that allowed you to eat with fish swimming on the other side of the glass. After dinner we rushed to the United States pavilion for a Candlelight procession in honor of the Christmas season. After that we waited around for the firework show and then went home.

Grammar Point

Specificity is often times very important in writing. In many cases, an author wants to leave something to the interpretation of the reader, such as poems. However, in many cases, the author has a specific message he wants the reader to read. In this event, an author can not be ambiguous. That is why I chose to be very specific in describing the way the park was set up, it gives the reader a better understanding of how my day went and which paths I took.
