Here is Spaceship Earth, Epcot's signature attraction, in "all its glory". Well, for all you Disney purists like me (Dyan), you'll be VERY glad about the news we just received this week. Starting Monday, the ride inside Spaceship Earth is going to get a facelift--and so is the globe itself! Over the next four months, they will be DISMANTLING the entire Mickey arm, wand, the "Epcot" letters, and even taking off the stars from the globe--to return it to its original appearance--yahoo! Now my son hasn't quite lived long enough to understand the phrase, "the good old days"--he actually likes it; but it's the only way he's ever seen it! As for me, though, I am happy to see all that silly stuff come down. I'm sure I'll have some more pics to take during the deconstruction process!

LOOK OUT JEFF GORDON! CJ rode Test Track at Epcot today for the very first time--and enjoyed it! Here he is in a brand new Impala SS after the ride.



Here is CJ with "Firefighter Ron", who gave us the tour of Sation 92. He did a great job of showing us all of the cool equipment they get to use. Ron told CJ that being a firefighter was a great job because you get paid to break things, and you don't even get in trouble for it.

CJ recently had a tour of Palm Bay Fire Station 92. Here he is posing with Engine 92.
