Wondering if you’re doing the countries in a weird order in order to accommodate the shows.
Journey Into Imagination is quite skipable (skippable?). In its original state I would have flogged you unmercifully if you had skipped, but now it’s really kind of bad. The leaping fountains are fun to watch a while, there are a couple of characters to meet (and a Disney Visa character meet as well), and the short films to see which are fun (Piper is one of my very favorites). All this to say, I’d go on over there if you have time, but I would not do any kind of gymastics to make it fit.
Skipping the Seas is something we often do. We go if we have time or if one of us has some burning desire, but mostly it isn’t where we want to spend our time.
For shows, we love Serveur Amusante (spelling?), British Revolution (but you know them personally), Mariachi Cobra with Coco, and of course Voices of Liberty. The drummers in Japan are meh, and we’ve not seen the acrobats in China in full but what we have seen was impressive. For films, we enjoy China and France
Making the most of the pavilions? Strolling through, having a snack, shopping, people watching, and shows.
Behind the Seeds is worth your while from what I have heard. I think we’ll be doing it on our next trip so - HA! - pressure is now on YOU to provide adequate and accurate information for our decision-making!
Yes, it’s difficult to schedule things to get a reasonably sensible pavilion order and see all the shows you want. Sacrifices were made, e.g. Jammitors.
That sounds like a great Epcot day! voices of Liberty is a must do - I could watch them all day. Are you doing the American Adventure? If you haven’t seen it before - I think it is worth it. I think the animatronics are cool to see. Plus the AC is blissful in July.
