-------------------------------
well, first of all the part you probably care about is the pics, however i forgot my camera so there are none. however, it doesn't matter anyway since they don't allow you to take pictures behind the scenes -- if you do they take away your camera. so instead of pics i will try to describe what i saw. (you would not believe how strict disney is with rules. if you are two feet from the exit out into the back area and you loosen your bowtie, they get very angry!)

behind all of the building at epcot, there are hundreds of buildings that resemble greenhouses, however i am pretty sure they are not. they also had a landing stip for small planes, which is not to surprizing now that i think of it but at the time it seemed odd. something that amazed me was that the decorative buildings continue all of the way out into the back area, however instead of making windows or other things similar, they paint them on. it seems wierd to me that they would take the time to paint windows onto the buildings in an area no one goes to. anyway, some other cool things there were buildings for the imagineers, which i didn't think they would have at the park. but other than that, it wasn't all that impressive, or maybe i wasn't able to go to the impressive parts.

some other things that happend:
i was threatend by a middle aged man while waiting in line for the haunted house. what happend was i screamed in his 16-18 year old daughter's ear to scare her, and then he said "don't scare my daughter! i'll see you outside." this is the 5th time i have been threatend in an amuzement park, the 3rd time this year.

we stopped for food in a mall on the way home, and i had on my hood and my aviator glasses, so i looked kind of suspicious. after i got off of the mary-go-round, i stood for about 2 minutes and stared at the securtiy guard. eventually, he walked over to me and tried to act tough. he said "why are you staring at me? and why are you wearing your glasses and hood? you look suspicious." then i told him, "i am staring at you because i am actraced to you. why were you staring at me? and why do you have that gun, you look suspicious." then he told me, "i think you are trying to hide something from me." then i said, "you are right i am. will you please strip seach me? i think i need a spanking too, i have been a very bad boy." he said no, and that i needed to be careful, and he went back to sanding by the mary-go-round.

I was just in Orlando about a month ago. I went to IOA, but chose to skip the Disney parks. I was very impressed with IOA and I would go again if I got the chance. [approve]
edit. . . Anyone who has a chance to go must ride The Cat in the Hat [:)] Best ride in the park imo.[;)]

They have an underground superstructure that accesses every single area of the park. I'm sure punkrock won't be there though.

Last year I got to go Behind the scenes at Magic Kingdom becuase I was there with our schools band and we got to march in a parade. There wasn't much by where I was at, pretty much right next to the Pirates of the Carribian is where we entered. It was just a hill or two with a few roads. There was also a building that looked like a repair shop sorta becuase it had random ride pieces laying around outside of it. A few semis were parked in and around the area. Behind all of that was a river that had boats for some parade or another. Not quite sure what they were for. It was the electric light parade so the floats were being preped for the parade. It wasn't all that intresting really. But they were very strict about cameras being back there too. I dont know why they are like that, but they were.

LOL about the rendezvous with Security! [8D] When I was at Epcot there was an open door into the back area and I took a picture and the workers were like "what is that picture for?" Disney is way too strict about rules.
