World Showcase

		World Showcase was very interesting. Too bad we didn't stay there longer, but then I could say that about everything at Disney. At each country there is a kids stop where the kids are invited to add something related to the country to a mask they make. At one stop they might add feathers, or beads, and so on. Then the cast members there, write the kids' name in their native tongue on the back. Each country's cast members are residents of that country and have come to work at World Showcase for a year. It's a great opportunity for the cast member and a great one for us to visit with the citizens of each country. In between the EPCOT ball and World Showcase is a huge lagoon, it doesn't seem so distant, but it is. When we were there, they had constructed this citrus pyramid from oranges, lemons, and grapefruits. It smelled wonderful.

This set of pages was a belated joy. I wanted something simple and basic and then got the idea to silouette the panoramic shots of World Showcase and use it for a bottom. Then I wrote in the countries as a sort of map of the Showcase. The title was printed from my computer. To replicate the large masks the kids made, I cut out smaller versions and asked the kids to make mini masks. The initial caps on the second set of pages were traced with a light board from a computer font. The Mickey shape I drew onto paper using a quarter and two dimes.
