<br />
I would never have known this museum was there if not accidentally stumbling upon it one day looking for a bathroom near the Free Drink Station in EPCOT.<br />
<br />
It has all kinds of EPCOT memorabilia in it and a great place to cool off when its hotter than blazes outside.<br />

Inside there is a long hallway, much like the one in Florida.<br />
They have lots of memorabilia and photos to look at:<br />

And once we got to Old Key West it was coming down so hard it was hard to get to the room:<br />
<br />

</div>I thought I would be budget conscious and brought ponchos from the dollar store... might as well have brought saran wrap!<br />
<br />
Here Alex and our family friend Bri trying to stay dry at the Animal Kingdom in the saran wrap.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />
Here Erin & Katherine are wearing the ponchos we ended up with after forking out a small fortune at the parks.<br />
On the upside when the kids each tore their ponchos at least once, they replaced them for free.<br />
<br />

</div>So I have to make sure I can find the ones I bought on that trip and take them with us in case something like this happens again.<br />
<br />
I have a "travel trunk" that belonged to my mom which is an antique steamer trunk that I keep all the stuff for my trips in that I dont use at other times. I think I may have stuffed the ponchos in there but I'm not sure. The trunk is currently stored in the garage so I have to dig it out and bring it in so I can start loading it up with Disney vacation items to look through as the year goes on.<br />

The Hall of presidents was a wonderful place to cool off.</div>

<br />
The kids got a real kick out of taking pictures of the pictures<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
There were some really nice displays to look at.<br />
My camera kept reflecting off the glass so I didn't get as many shots as I would have liked.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Then of course they had to take pictures of each other<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I don't go on the Tower of Terror for the obvious reason that anything with the word TERROR in the title is something to be avoided.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In my own defense I have gone on it twice and was sufficiently terrified both times so I figure that was enough.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The day I took these pictures it was pouring rain outside.</div>

<br />
This is in the "basement" of the hotel which also doubles as waiting area and where everyone can view their ride photos at the end of the ride.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
For some reason there were several of our group who usually ride that didn't want to this time, so they waited with Jeffrey and I in the basement while the rest of the crew rode.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This was the best things we ever did!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The Behind the Seeds Tour in The Land in EPCOT.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It was inexpensive and we ended up being the only family taking the tour.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have about 100 pictures so I'll put some up here and there.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
