Funny comment about Epcot Germany vs. REAL Germany!

[Val]

My DD17 left for Frankfort, Germany on Wednesday with her German class from the high school. The kids spent some time in Rotenburg, and are now in Munich. She sent us a quick facebook note that absolutely cracked me up:

She writes, "Ich bin in Munich. So far, I am lovvviiiiing Germany. At first, when we were in Rotenburg, I was a little bit disappointed because it was very "Epcot Disney Germany". Which I guess means that the Epcot exhibit is very realistic, but it didn't really feel like we were there yet."

Guess all those trips to Epcot tainted her.....think I can convince her that driving to Epcot is cheaper?

DH and I were also in Rottenburg with our German Club after our Senior year of h.s. I really liked it- but you're right it was like EPCOT! I had not been to WDW before, so it didn't spoil it for me.

I went to Rothenburg many years ago, well before I went to Disney. It was such an amazing place; I'm a bit of a medieval history buff so it was right up my alley. But I prefer to think that Epcot is so much like Rothenburg and marvel about what an awesome job Disney did when they built WS. This also means that the other pavillions are representative of the essence of the countries they are depicting, even if it is a bit stereotypical.

I hope your dd has a great time, I loved Germany.

Good, now I don't have to visit Germany--EPCOT is real enough
