If Phileas Fogg were alive to today he still would not believe it. "Around the world in just one day, it's not possible", he would say. "Oh but it is Phileas dear chap. And not only can you travel it, you can buy the t-shirt". I can see him now, twisting his handlebar moustache and stretching his braces confidently believing himself to be right, then staring agape as I show him the splendor of the Disney theme park Epcot. This fantasy land is where dreams really can come true for anyone, no matter how fat, who want to see every continent simply by walking around a lake, in Florida. 11 "countries" line the lake featuring towering plastic castles, a magnificent wooden Eiffle Tower and an awe-inspiring jelly Statue of Liberty. It truly is a wonder to behold. Disney is a genius (see website for inspiring music)http://disneyworld.disney.go.com/wdw/parks/parkLanding?id=EPLandingPage
Yes we did go, yes we did buy "French" wine and yes we did actually enjoy the "English" pub and its cockney pianist playing "Oooh whoopsy daisy off goes me wally cog" and other cockney classics.
PS (poop situation) Heather, It's the end of the world as we know it. Woody, globular
