Rather than fly someone down to buy a pass and do some research, my brother suggested I do it for them since I lived in Orlando.Biometric scannerMy brother's company reimbursed me for the pass and since it was, of course, in my name, I got to keep it. This was even a year-round, 365-day pass.Apple CDWhat is now called Innoventions at Epcot was known as CommuniCore back then. In one of the Communicore pavilions, Apple had a section set up. This particular time, they were showing off some concept equipment. This was some sort of CD multimedia device.Apple computerWhat looked like an awesome concept computer kind of looks like a piece of junk today.Apple PDA8482965498_f2434b00cf_nWebTVWebTV-type service was only about a year old at this time, and it shows. I really don't think my 1997-era web site looked all that bad, but this kiosk made it look like utter crap.Rondò VenezianoRondò Veneziano performs fantastic music. Sort of pop meets classical. I was lucky to get to hear a performance by a small troupe of members.Rondò VenezianoThey always perform with these classical period costumes. They're great!Rondò Veneziano8481875077_19b750681b_nRondò Veneziano8482965442_e2bcff202c_npowered by Justified Image Grid
