Thanks for the review KSUDub, haven't been to pandora yet. Haven't even seen the movie actually. Agreed Everest is incred. I actually love Epcot
I seriously had no idea what Everest was. I thought it was a more typical dark ride like Splash Mountain with a drop at the end. Good thing I like roller coasters. When that thing stopped midway through the ride and then launched us backwards - in the dark - that was awesome. The Kali River Rapids was also awesome at night because you couldn't see much except for the mist and flames all lit up. Then that drop comes out of nowhere. Disney should incorporate more rides like those into their other parks!
In my opinion, all the rides at Epcot blow. The nations thing is kind of fun for a quick walkthrough, but they built all these amazing looking buildings with nothing inside them but shopping and restaurants? I will say that they've got several good restaurants - I enjoyed my dinner at the biergarten - but I'd never do Epcot again unless I was on a multi-day park hopper, and then I might go there for a few hours one evening to do a dinner and a quick walk around.
Disney overall has some great stuff but I think I'd be sick of it after 3 days. Which is probably why they practically give additional days away after the first 3 just to keep people on property and spending money.
I stayed at the Swan and Dolphin which honestly seemed kind of old and run down. Next time I think I'd opt for the Contemporary, Polynesian, or Grand Floridian.
