So far we know we have "Facts" friends here from the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and Italy. If anyone else is from somewhere around the world, say hello! :wave: This can be a fun "United Nations" place for "Facts" fans to converge and get to know one another and each other's countries. :)

I'll share some of my passport from Disney World's EPCOT Center park in Florida, America.

Here is my passport, passport pouch, and travel button! It was fun getting the cast members who were native people from their homelands to sign my passport, and then later I got to put the stamps in. :)

Haha that is okay mio amico! :lol::wave:

What states would I recommend? Gosh...there are so many states! :lol: There is so much culture in New York (and where DS and FOL take place!), there is the beautiful New England atmosphere in places like Vermont and New Hampshire, there is beautiful southern architecture in Georgia, (I come from Kentucky), there is the unique French Quarter of New Orleans in Louisiana, there's Florida with the wetlands and swamps of the Everglades (and, of course, Disney World!), there is California with so much out there (and, of course, Disneyland!), and then of course there is our tropical Hawaii!

Fun fact: The UK and Italy pavilions at Epcot are pretty much the same as they were in the 90's (atleast before the closure of all theme parks during the Pandemic) the only big difference is they added another restaurant to the back of Italy pavilion. It's called Via Napoli, and it has some of the best food in the park!

OMG, Lorimar, you are making me SO hungry. Even the eggplant parmigiana looks delicious. I've never eaten at Via Napoli, but it looks awesome! :cool:

Thanks for saying that. :nod: I felt kinda foolish about my pics because Lorsie's 2019 photos are SO much better than my 1995 ones. lol. :o

It's like back then I was "a Mrs. Garrett" photographer, but now I'm "a Molly", lol. 📸

I love that I reinforced a memory! :bighug:

If I decide to come to America, what State would you recommend me? Florida or Michigan? You can include other States. By the way, where do you live?

If you're going to visit only a single state, and the choices are only Michigan and Florida, you can rule out Michigan.

Florida has so many beautiful places: crystal-clear beaches along the southern keys; the amazing Everglades with endangered Florida panthers; fun cities like Miami and Ft. Lauderdale; Disney World, Universal Studios, and Sea World in Orlando; endangered manatees in the center of the state; and so many other things. If you go to Florida, you will have fun.

Michigan is the buckle of the Rust Belt. Your choices are: you could get mugged in Detroit or get lead poisoning from the water in Flint.

But there are many other fun states to visit, so if you have time: Tennessee has many cool things, and I remember visiting as a kid with much fondness; all of the cities there are fun: Nashville, Memphis, and Chattanooga all have entertaining things. Illinois also has some really neat places, both in Chicago and elsewhere, and it is a real city. Last year, I revisited Wisconsin, and that was a lot of fun, too. And the District of Columbia is also really cool, just for the capitol, the history, and the weird diagonal streets. Hawaii is another great state where there are so many things to do. Each US state is the size of a European country, so there will be plenty of things to explore in most states.

Avoid: Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Nebraska, and Michigan's lower peninsula.

OMG, Lorimar, you are making me SO hungry. Even the eggplant parmigiana looks delicious. I've never eaten at Via Napoli, but it looks awesome! :cool:

It was delicious. And that mule drink was the best I ever had!

Don't ever feel foolish for sharing your photos. They're LOVELY! And they captured some amazing moments. Lorimar's pics made me hungry, but your photos sent me back into nostalgia.

Actually, don't ever feel foolish for sharing anything. You are a very special person, '80s, and you should never feel bad for sharing a part of yourself. When people share things, here, it only makes me appreciate them even more. In fact, I may share some Disney photos of my own...

Wow Retro! So many beautiful places. I've never heard that Michigan is so bad:confused:

Every state has its charms, so there must be wonderful areas in Michigan. And probably your relatives live in a very nice area, far from Flint or Detroit. But Michigan cannot compare to the awesomeness that is Florida. It is like visiting the Caribbean, the American South, and Latin America all in one. I loved living there. Some highlights for me were my girlfriend and I paddling a canoe through the Everglades and around Sandfly Island (https://npplan.com/parks-by-state/florida-national-parks/everglades-national-park-park-at-a-glance/everglades-national-park-paddling/everglades-national-park-sandfly-island-canoe-trip/) in crystal clear, very shallow water where we could see every fish on the bottom; visiting Lake Manatee State Park (https://www.floridastateparks.org/parks-and-trails/lake-manatee-state-park); going to Miami and Ft. Lauderdale and the amazing beaches; and all of the cool restaurants.

I have been to nine European countries: Ireland, Great Britain, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and Finland. Finland was my favorite. But I'd love to visit the Mediterranean countries, as well: Italy is a must!

I'll go on and share the rest of my EPCOT Center Passport. :)

Here's Mexico---olé! 💃

-

Mexico was the very first country I had signed in my passport (Mexico is the first country you visit, if you go from left to right). In the restaurant there with the boat ride there were two Mexican señoritas at the cash register. I vividly remember I asked one of them to please sign my passport, and she looked at her friend with a sly smile and said, "I like to be the first to sign!" with a giggle, haha. :lol:

It says "Welcome to Mexico and thanks for visiting us. I hope you come back soon." And then I think it says "Tu amiga", for "Your friend" (a bit cut off), and whatever her name is. :lol:

-

One of my favorites---Norway! I loved the little boat ride with the three-headed troll at the end. :)

I got a little pewter Mickey Mouse in Norway's gift shop with mickey wearing a viking helmet and carrying a spear and shield, which I think got lost over the years. I wish I still had him.

I love the wooden stave church in the Norway exhibit. :heart:

"Welcome to Norway - watch out for crazy ______" (I'm assuming something like "trolls", but I can't find a translation for what I'm making out this word to be) - "Ellen 🎳"

(her "beware!" smiley face looks like a bowling ball :lol:)

I love that she signed it like that, since I love mythology. :)

Don't worry: I can't tell the difference between a northern English accent and a southern English accent.

The American and Canadian accents are similar. In fact, I think a northern American accent (like, say, from Ohio) is more similar to a Canadian accent than a southern accent. We can tell because many Canadians say "house" and "out" and "about" (and similar words) with a very rounded "oh" sound.

I also cannot tell the difference between an Aussie and NZ accent. They sound the same to me.

Hi Retro i know what you mean about the Aussie and Kiwi accent: i cannot tell them apart either (only the South African accent because it's kind of thick and very different from others)......

Thank you for your explanation thought!!!:cheers::cheers::cheers:

Yeah valentina, it's more like there are just certain words that Canadians say weirdly that we here do not. :lol: The aforementioned "aboot", "agayn" (instead of "a-gan"), and the stereotypical "eh?" at the ends of sentences.

Ah, I forgot about agayn... and let's not forget beeeeeen.

I love the FRENCH CANADIAN accent a lot: when they speak in french you can tell the difference between them, and the french people!!! (just ask CHEF ANTOINE lol!)

Right now if there were normal social standards and I had free time off with lots of travel $$$, I would totally travel to Italy and hang out with you and watch FOL! :lol:

And tour Italy including riding in a gondola in Venice! :D

Oh Canada! Eightsy inspired me to post some pictures of the Canada pavilion I’ve taken at EPCOT!

Always knew Canada was huge... ;)

Thanks, as always, for sharing your photos.

I have often thought it was strange that EPCOT's Canada has never had any kind of mountain coaster ride, considering all of the mountains and wilderness. Maybe with a Sasquatch or RCMP theme.

Hahaha! I know the pics are too big, idk how to resize though. Yeah a raft ride would be cool too.

Simply open the image in any image editing program, such as MS Paint. Then click "Resize" and in "Percentage" type something like 50 (to reduce the size by 50%). Then save the file as Resized X.

A raft ride would be perfect, and there's plenty of space.
