Hello everyone and Happy December!!  I'm not a big fan of the holiday season, but I love the lights and colors that are on display everywhere.  There is a new attraction at Epcot called "Colortopia".  I tried it out and I photographically enjoyed it but, aside from the fiber optic paint brushes, the presentation itself wasn't very exciting.  Your ushered into a room and get a schpeel (by Modern Family actor Ty Burrell) about color and how it influences your life, feelings, etc..  Your then brought into a different room and issued a "paint brush" that you use to "paint" on a scene on these giant screens.  They only bring in groups of twelve or so people at a time, so your not all competing to color at once.  It's one of those things that may appease the young'ins but thats about it.  I'm thinking this is a temporary exhibit, but with all the hoopla thats been going on about this, it may be here longer than it needs to be.

After experiencing Colortopia, I headed over to the "Imagination" area to see "Captain EO" the George Lucas/Micheal Jackson 3D movie that I'm sure was cutting edge in 1986 when it was made.  I had never seen it before and read that it is slated to go away Dec. 6th.

We also made a brief stop at the Magic Kingdom in search of certain gift ideas, so no rides this time.  I did grab a few shots on Main Street but we never did find what we were looking for.  A View From Main Street ​Well that wraps up the activities for this week.  More adventures await in the near future and Im looking forward to it!
