	If you can, one thing at EPCOT you shouldn't miss is the fire-
	works/laser light show they have every night at the world show-
	case lagoon during the summer.  They also have it on Saturday
	night the rest of the year I think. Also the 360 degree movie
	at the Chinese pavilion is very good. The movie in France is
	enjoyable also, although not as impressive. The 360 degree movie
	in Canada is rather boring. The show at the American Heritage
	pavilion should be avoided, unless you wish to take a nap.

	The crowds are horrendous at all the central Florida attractions
	during the summer and the sun will fry your brain while you
	stand in line. The best way to visit all the attractions
	around here is come on a weekday during the off season, the
	lines are short and the temperatures are much more pleasant.

	EPCOT seems to be an adult theme park, while younger children
	will enjoy the Magic Kingdom more. Teenagers will probably
	enjoy Circus World or Busch Gardens more, since they have
	more of the traditional spin-til-you-puke type rides. Either
	Circus World or Busch Gardens is a nice family outing.

	I should also mention that some of the area hotels are tourist
	attractions in their own right. You should stop by the Grand
	Cypress in Lake Buena Vista for a drink and try the Italian
	Buffet ($7.95) at the Wyndham Hotel on International drive
	across from Sea World. You might also ride the monorail over
	to check out the Contemporary and Polynesian Resort Hotels
	while you're at Disney.

	If your taste runs to jousting you should check out Medieval
	Times in Kissimmee (They're building another one on International
	drive, I think).

	I'm going the try to get out to EPCOT later this month to check
	out the new Living Seas exhibit. Fortunatly one of my friends
	that works out there, takes me in for free.
