    Has anyone attended the EPCOT HIDDEN TREASURES OF THE WORLD SHOWACASE
    TOUR? I'm trying to find out any info I can on this tour. It's a tour
    thru the unseen parts of EPCOT. It sounds like a fun thing to do.
    
    Could not find a note related to this subject. Please relocate if there
    is.

368.1Epcot Hidden Details!WOTVAX::CADMANLThu Sep 30 1993 13:3012
    
    Hi
    
    I was there last week and my brother asked if there were any new
    attractions available, and he was told no, only those listed in the
    brochure or on the notice boards.
    
    Hope you fair better than we did!
    
    regards

368.2We went on itTRLIAN::SMOLINSKISat Mar 05 1994 18:5138
    We went on it in Jan.  It is a 4 hour walking tour.  It was very
    interesting.  Your tour guide shows how the building are constructed
    to look like the same height, even if one is 4 stories another one is
    2.  The bricks become smaller.
    
    The Canadian garden is planted with different flowers based on the 
    season.  We were in Jan, so the flowers were  white for snow.
    
    At Morraco (sp), we learned that the king sent 21 of his personal 
    artist to build the showcase.
    
    At Mexico, the  reason it is dark inside, is because that the way it
    is.  If it was bright and sunshine, it would be siesta time.
    
    Japan exhibit used to be brightly color, until the ambassador for Japan
    came over and stated that was not the Japanese way.  China is noted for
    it bright colors, Japan is more subdule (sp).
    
    Plus we say some interesting features that are there, but you never see
    them, they are usually tuck away.
    
    We also went behind EPCOT center.  We saw the backside of EPCOT.
    We saw the clothing section (65 tons of laundry a day, 9000 pieces
    of clothing). Where they do hairstyling and wigs, etc.
    
    There is a good chance you will see characters out of character,
    Mickey walking with his head under his arm, no one under 16 is allowed
    on the tour.
    
    It was definitely worth it.  Again, it is 4 hours with 30 minutes for 
    lunch, they stop by the American exhibit, so that was handy and 
    convient.  
    
    I would do it again.  The tour holds about 20 people and your guide is
    can dress in personal clothing.  Do you know
    that females must year shoes with heels high enough that a pencil can
    slide underneath.

368.4PHONE NUMBERTRLIAN::SMOLINSKISun Mar 06 1994 19:4910
    Call WDW 407-560-6150.  That is the Educational Service dept. or
    something like that.  They have all the details.  It starts at 10:30, 
    last for 4 hours.
    
    If we call the main number for Disney or EPCOT number, they do not know
    about it.  It is not very well publicized.
