Breakfast at the Garden Grill, (best Cinammon bun ever) then enjoy the flower festival, then (am not ashamed to admit it) Frozen ride 😂😂😂 finally, wandering around the showcase in the evening, listening to live entertainment and enjoying the atmosphere. Happy days...

The Terracotta Warriors in Epcot are a replica of the life-sized warriors that the Qin Dynasty emperor was buried with in 209-210 BC to protect himself from the evil spirits of the underworld. There is an extremely fascinating documentary on Netflix titled “Secrets of the Terracotta Warriors” that you can watch before your trip. It will give you a new appreciation for these amazing replicas.

The Terracotta Warrior army contains 197 replicas that are one-third-scale replicas of the real army. Each warrior is unique and likely casted after actual members of the Emperor’s army. The original Terracotta Warriors were painted, but once they were exposed to the elements, their painting quickly faded. Freshly dug up replicas are quickly treated with chemicals to preserve their coloring. Disney honors this with a “painted soldier” that you will find in the exhibit.

In the exhibit, you will also find 2,000 year-old- tomb sculptures from the Han Dynasty period and replicas of the emperor’s horses and chariots. It is an amazing learning experience and I highly suggest you take a moment out of the hustle and bustle of your vacation to step back into history.

Should have been there now for my birthday trip, i'd do Soarin then Living with the Land, followed by key lime pie and root beer in Sunshine Seasons- then walk it off around the world!

Breakfast in garden grill for us too, followed by living with the land to let it settle 😊. Shopping -I would buy all the Werther’s caramel and chocolate popcorn in the German pavilion.
