These being my journal entries from a 1993 family vacation, via Amtrak, back east. I posted my entries in real time, weblog-style, 10 years to the day after they were written. Now you can read them straight through, starting from Day One, or use the calendar below.

The “Looking Back” section contains notes from the present day to put everything in context.

Looking Back...

On our fourth day at Disney World, we went back to EPCOT. But, do you think I would even mention it, or write more about it? Nope.

This is just sad. A blank page would have been better than this. This looks like I made the effort and then gave up.

  • A lot of the rides at Epcot have been replaced by something new, but only one has been completely torn down. Horizons was demolished because their ideas for the replacement ride, Mission: Space, wouldn’t fit in the original building. The new ride is supposed to open later this summer.
  • Some of the ideas for expanding the World Showcase at Epcot have included a Mary Poppins ride in England, a Mt. Fuji roller coaster in Japan, and a new Switzerland pavilion with a copy of Disneyland’s Matterhorn.

That’s it. I’m out of useless facts. Hopefully I’ll start writing more tomorrow.

I missed a day! Last night was such a late night, with the Magic Kingdom closing at midnight and a weariness which a full day had brought on me. And even now it is eleven o’clock at night, and our time at Disney is past. And unfortunately, this is going to be another short entry.
