UNITED KINGDOM-WORLD SHOWCASE
PEARLIES
UNITED KINGDOM IN EPCOT'S WORLD SHOWCASEIS REALLY A DICKENSIAN VIEW OF ENGLAND-COBBLE STONE STREETS, QUAINT SHOPS, HAPPY COCKNEY STREET PERFORMERS. NO RIDE OR FILM, BUT THE ROSE AND CROWN PUB IS LOTS OF FUN, EVEN IF YOU JUST STOP BY FOR AN ALE, AND NOT A FULL DINNER. (aLTHOUGH, FROM WHAT I HEAR, THEY DO NOT SELL WARM ENGLISH BEER, FOR THAT EXPERIENCE YOU'LL HAVE TO CROSS THE ATLANTIC.
BEHIND THE SHOPS, THERE IS AN ENGLISH GARDEN, IN WHICH, DURING THE BUSY SEASON, A GROUP FO FOUR MOP-TOPPED BEATLE IMPERSONATERS PERFORM.
AND, JUST A SIDE NOTE HEAR, YOU KNOW WHAT I REALLY LOVE ABOUT WORLD SHOWCASE? THAT THEY HAD THE WONDERFUL FORETHOUGHT TO BUILD ALL THE SHOPS IN EACH COUNTRY ADJOINING, SO THAT YOU CAN HAVE ONE, LONG, AIR-CONDITIONING FEST BEFORE TROOPING OUT INTO THE FLORIDA HUMIDITY!
