For those of you not here in central Florida and within passholders' driving
distance from the Great Mouse, you should know that this describes, almost
perfectly, the faux structures and layouts of the Canada section of EPCOT.
Good steakhouse downstairs, though. Excellent cheese soup.
>From the shadow of Disney, where once, for a brief time, there was a T-shirt
available in EPCOT with a picture of the earth as globe with a pair a mouse
ears sitting at a jaunty angle on top of it. The caption on the shirt read,
in stark and ominous letters:
"One World, One Mouse"
The shirt was rather quickly discontinued -- perhaps because someone alerted
the Disney people to the eerily totalitarian rhetoric.
Still, the dream remains.
--John
