Welcome to another installment of my series Patriotic Disney in which I\u2019ll be discussing the many facets of Walt Disney\u2019s patriotism and how it permeates his work and legacy.<\/h2>\n
\"Epcot's

Epcot’s American Adventure<\/p><\/div>\n

📍EPCOT<\/a> | World Showcase<\/a> | American Adventure<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of the lands and attractions in Disney\u2019s theme Parks reveal his patriotism, his love of the American way of life and belief in the entrepreneurial spirit.<\/p>\n

One of my very favorite Walt Disney quotes is \u201cIf you can dream it, you can do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lands like Main Street USA, Liberty Square<\/a>, and Frontierland<\/a> bring us back to the formative years of our country. Attractions like the Hall of Presidents and the American Adventure speak to what sets America apart.<\/p>\n

The American Adventure Pavilion<\/a> is located at the very back of Epcot\u2019s World Showcase, as you enter World Showcase you can see the pavilion directly across the lagoon.<\/p>\n

The American Adventure Pavilion is a massive structure in order to house the large theater and show mechanisms. The building is five stories tall, but through Disney\u2019s use of forced perspective<\/a> it\u2019s made to appear only three stories tall.<\/p>\n

Show times for the roughly 30 minute show are posted to the side of the door as you enter the Colonial-style structure which was inspired by historic American structures such as: Independence Hall, Boston’s Old State House, Monticello and Colonial Williamsburg.<\/p>\n

The first floor is large and open and serves as the waiting area. On the walls you\u2019ll find beautiful paintings depicting scenes from the history of America, as well as quotations from famous Americans.<\/p>\n

Off to one side is the American Heritage Gallery, which features over 40 special artifacts on loan to Epcot. The exhibit includes items that belonged to many famous Americans such as: Abe Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Jackie Robinson, Senator Daniel Inouye, Astronaut Gus Grissom, and many more.<\/p>\n

While waiting for the next showing you\u2019ll be entertained by the Voices of Liberty, a group of 10 singers dressed in colonial costumes that sing patriotic and folk songs in harmonized a capella.<\/p>\n

The Voices of Liberty perform prior to the American Adventure show<\/em>.<\/p>\n
