About Living with the Land

Living with the Land (Disney World)

Living with the Land is a unique and educational boat ride located in Epcot’s Land Pavilion at Walt Disney World Resort, Florida. This attraction takes guests on a fascinating journey through various ecosystems and showcases the innovative techniques used in sustainable agriculture and aquaculture.

As guests board their boats, they are transported to the Living with the Land greenhouse, where they embark on a serene and informative tour. The greenhouse is an impressive display of cutting-edge agricultural technology, featuring a wide range of plants, crops, and aquatic life.

The attraction is divided into several sections, each representing different agricultural practices and concepts. Guests will pass through scenes showcasing traditional farming methods, as well as modern and experimental techniques designed to address environmental challenges and improve food production.

Living with the Land highlights the importance of conservation and sustainability. Guests can observe various crops growing in innovative ways, including using hydroponics and aeroponics, as well as sustainable aquaculture practices.

One of the most popular parts of the attraction is the “biotechnology” section, where guests can see fruits and vegetables growing in creative shapes, sometimes referred to as “mickey-shaped” produce.

Throughout the boat ride, informative narration and displays provide insights into the significance of each agricultural practice and its potential impact on food production for the future.

Living with the Land is not just an attraction but also a research facility where Disney horticulturists and scientists conduct experiments to develop new agricultural methods and improve environmental sustainability.

The attraction aligns with Epcot’s overall theme of promoting innovation, technology, and the possibilities of the future. It serves as a reminder of the importance of caring for the Earth and its resources.

I am founder and editor of DisneyNews.us. My passion for all things Disney goes pretty far back to my first trip to Walt Disney World in the mid-80's. I have since returned to the magical place more than 20 times. I started this site when I came to the realization that I spent a significant portion of my day reading articles about Disney and watching Disney content with my 8-year old, so it made sense that I would start sharing some of what I read and see and building a little community around it. Other interests include 80's nostalgia, vintage toys, video games, LEGO, Star Wars and tech gadgets. Other sites include DMR and VideoGamesStats.com.
