Canada Far and Wide 

By Jace Smith

When you go to EPCOT in Walt Disney World you will see things that look like they are from the future. You will see modern looking buildings and interesting decorations all around EPCOT but there is a place called the world showcase where you can see and experience different parts of the world cuisine, art, music, culture and much more. One of these countries is a neighbor to the United States of America, Canada. 

If you have never been to Canada then you might be interested in this area in the World Showcase Lagoon. All of the countries that are represented here all have their little areas that they can put whatever they want to show off their country. In Canada there is a very cool and unique experience that you can do where you can see Canada in a 360o experience and see all of the great things in the country and it will last for 12 minutes. 

When you go into the experience you will go into a theatre like room with hand rails so that you can lean on while you stand and watch the film. You can look all around and see so many different things that the country has like Niagra Falls. This experience is not very long and the wait time is not that long usually so it will be an easy and relaxing time to cool off and have a great time looking and seeing what this country has to offer. Other countries like China, and even France which all have very nice music and in the theater it will feel like you are all around it and it will immerse you in the country and the amazing things in Canada. You will need to be able to look at all of the screens on one side so that you can see the culture. 

The narrators  that narrate this are a famous Catherine O’Hara and famous comedian Eugene Levy. Catherine O’Hara you might recognize from the Christmas classic Home Alone.  She is the mother of Kevin in the movie. This show is not supposed to be very funny but there are some funny jokes and lines and it is educational for the interest of the country. You get to see the great cities of Canada and some tourist attractions that might not be as famous as you might have never heard of. 

There are many different places that you will see in the full three screens to each individual screen having its own thing on it that would be different than the other screens. It is very easy for you to see all of the experience from where you are in the theatre. 

If you are a family that has young or small children then you are in luck because there is no height or age limit to this experience. You will also be able to hear an original song about Canada and all both of the narrators are Candanian. This experience is very unique and it is a great experience to go check out when you go to the World Showcase.
