Disney4me Posted March 2, 2021 Report Posted March 2, 2021 EPCOT’s undergoing some major changes right now. Spaceship Earth With all the excitement for upcoming rides like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, along with anticipation for the Taste of EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival starting next week, a LOT of other attractions can get overlooked. We sure love talking about Spaceship Earth, Frozen Ever After, and Soarin’ Around the World. But what about those underrated attractions? What about Living with the Land?! If you haven’t had the good fortune of riding Living with the Land, it’s a slow-moving boat journey that takes guests through different living systems to learn the history of farming. Plus, you get a sneak peek into EPCOT’s very own greenhouse (more on that later)! It’s relaxing, it’s educational…so WHY does no one talk about it? Living with the Land Entrance We’re fixing that today! We’re gonna give you ALL the reasons why Living the Land is a great attraction, and why you should ride (or re-ride) it on your next trip to EPCOT. So let’s get started! There Are Tons of Hidden Mickeys! You and your little ones can search for hidden Mickeys while listening to a nice educational spiel. There are a bunch in this attraction. There are Mickey-shaped topiaries and pumpkins… Living with the Land …and even hidden Mickeys inside the fish tanks! Hidden Mickey on Living with the Land! Did you spot it? pic.twitter.com/rsscsf0kjv — AJ Wolfe (@DisneyFoodBlog) February 25, 2021 Next time you’re on this ride, try to spot as many as you can. And if you look closely, you may even find a hidden Minnie! Check Out Another EPCOT Hidden Mickey! You’ve Probably EATEN Food From The Ride…Say WHAT?! A lot of the fruits and veggies grown in the greenhouses on this attraction are actually served around the park! Sunshine Seasons and the Garden Grill Restaurant both serve some of the fish and produce from this attraction. So on this ride, you’ll get an up-close look at the super fresh produce you could chow down on at your next meal. Can you spot the hidden Mickey? There’s a lot of variety, too! You’ll see bananas, pumpkins, peppers, and some plants you probably didn’t even know were edible. Check Out Our Review of The Garden Grill! You Can Get A Peek Behind The Scenes In one of the greenhouses, your boat will cruise past the Biotechnology Lab. This lab has a whole wall of clear windows, so you’ll be able to take a peek inside! Real scientists are working on real experiments in there, like researching crop improvement. Signs around the lab will tell you what experiments are happening that day, so you’ll know exactly what you’re lookin’ at! The lab even got all decked out for the holidays! If you want a more in-depth look behind the scenes, Disney offers the Behind the Seeds Tour. It’ll take you all around the Land Pavilion as you visit the 4 greenhouses and fish farms that make up the Living with the Land attraction. Although this experience is currently unavailable, it’s good to keep in mind for future trips. Check Out Our Review of the Behind the Seeds Tour! It’s Educational We’ve already touched on this, but if you pay attention, you’re gonna learn a lot on Living with the Land. Before you even get into the greenhouses, you’ll pass through rainforest, desert, and prairie living systems, learning about how roots trap water, how rainforests contain lots of plant and animal species, and how the desert is very much alive. Welcome to the prairie! Once you’re in the greenhouses, you’ll learn about how innovative farming techniques are helping with food production. And, during your tour you’ll get a look at the future of farming! Check Out Our Review of Another Restaurant That Serves Living with the Land’s Food! It’s Relaxing We’re going to paint a picture for you: it’s a hot day at EPCOT. You’ve spent all morning standing in lines for Test Track and Frozen Ever After that seemed to go on FOREVER. Your legs are tired. You’re sweating. Where do you go? Living with the Land, of course! Veggies! The attraction is air-conditioned — that’s a BIG bonus right there — and the ride is over 10 minutes long. That’s plenty of time to rest your tired feet. Plus, this ride is so underrated that it typically has one of the lowest wait times in the park. Educational AND relaxing?! Sounds like a win-win! Check Out More Underrated Attractions! There’s A Seasonal Overlay! One of our favorite parts about Living with the Land pops up once a year: its Merry and Bright Nights! For the holiday season, this ride is decked out with colorful lights, gift boxes, holiday wreaths, giant Christmas ornaments, and more. Holiday Decorations The best part? At night, the whole attraction lights up with all these decorations! 2019 Living With The Land Holiday Overlay If you’ll be in EPCOT for the holidays, we highly recommend riding Living with the Land at night for that full overlay experience. Read More About Merry and Bright Nights! Well, have we convinced you yet? Living with the Land is a truly underrated ride with some VERY special features.
