I'm talkin tomatoes or other veggies/fruit. I have no need to figure out that other stuff, though if it becomes legal in VA, I'd start a greenhouse.

Why is it illegal to have a green house there?

We were discussing growing plants that are illegal to grow in VA.

Actually, I'd be ecstatic if they ever gave a tour/class on how to do hydroponics....

They kind of do in the Behind the Seeds Tour. However, the interns seem to get lost with anything past the word hydroponic

Ive taken that a bunch of times. I like it. I would totally build one of those tomato tree canopys except for the deer around here...

I asked the intern about how they treated for root slime, peroxide etc... She told me that they scrub the floors if it becomes an issue???

I say bring the Kitchen Kabaret characters and add them to LWTL and making it a musical journey and utilize those movie screens for 3D tech...And rename it to the one kids area that was used during F&W several years ago..

I'm just happy this old girl will finally get some love. She should at least look good when she comes out of the refurb. Hoping the doors are finally fixed, but don't know.

Whew, it comes back up right after we get there.

Living With the Land will be closed Sep. 8 - 17, 2015. Those of you who want all the excitement of watching grass grow will have to go to the Universe of Energy during this time.

This was always a sleeper for me....

In a way its kind of the only thing left of the old Epcot we all loved, well energy I guess to an extent, but will be nice to see it get a clean up. I havent noticed anything major with it recently except none of the animatronics in the rainforest ever seem to work. So hopefully that will get fixed. I liked the previous narrator better too, the woman who was before the current poeplemover narrator they are using now.

That's our first day at Epcot as well. And ironically, my wife will be about 36 weeks pregnant.

Didn't Living With the Land used to have a section where it rained? Was it when you were going through the rainforest? I ask because the last couple of times that I've been on the attraction there was no rain...

It does "rain" in the scenes at the very beginning, the scenes right after load but before the rainforest. It's not real rain technically, they achieve the effect by shining spotlights on reflective wire strung between the ceiling and scenery. I don't recall whether it rains in the rainforest scene, possibly. But there are waterfalls in the rainforest scene.

Though I think recently some of the lights are somewhat off center with the strings, so the effect is less pronounced than it should be.

I wish they'd bring back the old catchy living with the land song to pep it up. The first set of scenes and animatronics are nostalgic, the greenhouse is always fun to see what's going on but without the catchy song it just feels too sleepy.

 

[MerlinTheGoat]

I do actually really like the current music, particularly the relaxing tune that plays at the beginning scene right after the load area. Though Listen to the Land would be awesome to hear again starting at the farmhouse and going through some of the greenhouse (they already play similar music in those segments anyways so nothing would be lost by switching to a more classic and catchy tune there).

I'd like to find a way to have both though, i love the peaceful and tranquil music at the beginning. Fits perfectly with the nature and ecological atmosphere, better I daresay than Listen to the Land in these first few specific scenes. This ride is so peaceful and nice to ride, a wonderful and appreciated contrast from the rest of what WDW has become IMO. But Listen to the Land would be great for the agricultural segments, so...
