Living With The Land closing for 10 day refurbishment in September

[Disneydreamer23]

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

How Funny I will be 33 weeks haha! Where are you guys staying at this time>? Congrats what are you guys having?

Damn it. Those are the dates of my trip and LwtL is one of my favorites. I usually ride it 2 or 3 times a day in Epcot.

We're back at French Quarter. I believe we're having a baby......lol. But seriously, we haven't had the ultrasound yet but she's pretty certain it's a girl because she feels like she's carrying low.

Wow, thankfully LWtL will be open when I get there in August, we leave for home on the 8th Sept anyhow. I make a point to ride it at least three times per visit to Epcot, same with JIIWF; I love both, and honestly, LWtL needs as much love as it can get, that rainforst scene, pretty much only one butterfly and two aligators work, that's it

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.

Right, I always notice the string-rain (lol), but I can remember times when I was offloading from the ride and water would still be dripping off the covering on top of the ride vehicle.

Or am I just crazy?

It's probably due to the sprinkler system in the greenhouses some water might drip onto the awnings....

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

I know the Behind the Seeds tour has been mentioned, but when I went, they were handing these out - do they not do this anymore?

 

[Miceberg]

I went on the tour a year and a half ago and they didn't hand those flyers out.

They DO it's called 'behind the seeds' and it was 15 bucks last time I did it, Registration is on the LH side of the food court.

We discussed this, it doesn't teach me how to build it.

So I am assuming they do not hand out the detailed instructions they used to hand out during this tour, that I referenced earlier.

I do remember a bit of misting in the Rainforest scene years back. If I remember it was more like the misting fans you see in outside lines but without the fan part.

Of all the cheap, no-good, rotten, things for Disney to do to save a buck.

 

[ThemeParkJunkee]

When we went in October, they had flyers available but didn't hand them out. You could take one if you were interested. I'm sure this was done to cut down on waste since not everyone took a flyer. We did. I'm trying to figure out where I filed it to no avail.

 

[Aphex]

We went in January 2015 and they still had them available to those who wanted them; I believe when they hand out the cucumbers to sample. I could see how some tour guides might forget to mention them though.

Yup, that's where they were available.
