Hmmm, wouldn't it be fun if Mission: Space at Walt Disney World was like this?
In case you're wondering, Mission: Space is an earthbound attraction in Future World at Epcot. It's a simulator that recreates the sensations of takeoff from Earth, weighlessness in space and landing on Mars. You can chose from two levels: Orange for the full experience or Green for a slightly less intense ride. I'm not including any more details so there are no spoilers here... If you want more details, leave me a note in the comments.
Great flying, Buzz!

Three Caballeros Featured at the Mexico Pavilion in Epcot
One of my favorite attractions - in a strange sort of way - at Epcot is new and refreshed! The boat ride at Mexico Pavilion on the World Showcase is a wonderful stop on a hot day. Cool, dark and fun, the Rio del Tiempo was nicknamed by many, including me, as "it's a small burrito" because the dancing dolls and catchy music in the final scene reminded us of "it's a small world " in the Magic Kingdom. Well, some of the same flavor still remains, but the attraction has been revised, updated and renamed as Gran Fiesta Tour featuring the Three Caballeros. Here's the official description from the Disney folks:
Experience the sights and sounds of Mexico on the Gran Fiesta Tour Starring The Three Caballeros. Take a delightful boat ride and follow the adventures of Donald Duck, José Carioca and Panchito from the Disney film "The Three Caballeros." This fun-filled journey showcases the people, culture, history and arts of Mexico and is enjoyable for all ages.
In the old ride, we were taken on a historical journey through the culture of Mexico. I really enjoyed the ride because it had a retro style and stayed on the fun side of dorky. The new version keeps much of the same feel, and most guests seem to enjoy the new story line. Donald, Jose and Panchito are on their way to the Gran Fiesta. In typical Donald fashion, the duck gets sidetracked and his two friends must chase him down. The new ride definitely worth the time!
While you are at the Mexico Pavilion, allow time to visit the Marketplace and the other exhibits. There are several small shops with jewelry and women's fashions at reasonable prices.
