[@cappyjones]

One of my favorite attractions! The line moves fast and you get off of your feet and out of the heat for a while. 👍

[@kikky811]

Or out of the cold or rain! It was freezing AND drizzly when we went last December 🥶

[@jasoncook334]

I was a former boat captain here. Nothing but the vegetation has changed since '99. So cool! Thank you for sharing

[@rwbashaw66]

SO relaxing….weather, rain forest, prairie, farm!...rooster crowing on queue, goats bleating as you pass! I love seeing all that is growing in the green houses too! (sometimes a great prompt for what I’m going to order my next meal!!).

[@4KWDW]

For sure! I’m so grateful this ride is still here. I consider it untouchable, so hopefully it’ll be around in this form for the foreseeable future (or forever lol). Thanks for watching as always Rick!

[@kenwbrenner]

Hi Rick. The scene where the boats go by a typical midwestern farm house, animals, barn, etc. reminds me so much of my home area in northeastern Kansas. This ride is a real blessing...

[@knightofarkronia9968]

I went on a behind the scenes tour of this ride once! We got to feed the fish and release ladybugs into the greenhouses!

[@jenniferbeardtrusty1671]

I've done it, too!!! It was fantastic!

[@MichaelWarbux]

This is my favorite ride and it got me into gardening. I wish these kinds of rides were still being made at Epcot.

[@4KWDW]

I agree Michael. It’s a shame that all the rides being built now are just based off movies only. I can understand why that’s their mindset, but I truly believe building an occasional non IP ride that’s relaxing and educational like this one would be worth it(and also not that expensive)

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@@4KWDW I think the design of this ride left a lot of potential lost though. For one, the entire ride is extremely light on information. As a kid I wouldn't have any idea how cool the hydroponic system is because they didn't talk about how conventional in dirt farming works. They also said things like it uses less chemicals when hydroponics actually uses more chemicals than regular in dirt farming, which is why pesticides are not necessary and the message should have been that learning how plants interact with the dissolved chemicals is what gives the plants the accelerated growth. Also they should have had some kind of mechanical or light up sign at each stage so everyone knows what they are looking at. I noticed especially at the end you are kind of looking all over the place for what the narrator is talking about because the order he says it doesn't match the order it is presented to the rider. It also would be a cool if they made a miniature disney branded single hydroponic plant for the kids to try at home. You could even make it a collectable thing with multiple units connected together and buy a pump kit (because you know everything in disney is priced and not included, lol) to make their own mini version of the hydroponic setup seen. I feel like they kind of didn't execute this ride to its fullest potential. They wouldn't even really need to design an actual product either, because such educational kits are already sold online.

[@treytison1444]

They basically got rid of the whole pavillion system. It made Epcot pretty unique though. Each huge building had both rides and restaurants mixed together. You could do several attractions in a row without ever having to go back outside.

[@ritacal557]

I highly recommend the behind the scenes meds tour. You have to reserve ahead of time. We took our 10 yr old and he loved it. As an adult he still speaks of it as he’s getting his degree in landscape architecture. Environment, gardening growing veg, trees are a passion of his.

[@andrewh4855]

An Epcot fav. I've always wanted to sit on the porch in the farm scene and just watch the boats go by..lol tfs 4K.

[@4KWDW]

Same here Andrew! I could definitely add my bed in that farm scene and sleep there every night lol. It’s my pleasure as always, thank you 😃

[@ntexas100]

We always enjoy Living with the Land. It's relaxing, but also interesting. Great quality video!

[@4KWDW]

I agree! I’m very gratefully Disney hasn’t destroyed this ride by changing it or adding a movie property to it. Thanks so much as always 😃

[@aeryn6275]

Fantastic work! Amazing quality, no shakiness, and a perfect time capsule of the ride in 2023.

[@4KWDW]

Thank you so much!! 😃

[@lehrlacher]

Never gets old. I love, love, love this ride!! Thank you!!

[@4KWDW]

Same here! I can’t imagine Epcot without Living with the Land, so hopefully it’ll be here forever lol. Thank you so much😃

[@kenwbrenner]

Hi 4K. Thanks for taking us on this wonderful ride again! It is traditional Epcot, and all that is good about the original theming of this wonderful and unique park. Nicely done, as always! God Bless!

[@4KWDW]

It’s my pleasure as always Ken! As long as this ride and Spaceship Earth are still around with their original vision/purpose, then I’ll keep visiting Epcot. If they were to be changed substantially or removed, then I’m not sure I could ever step foot into Epcot lol(this may be extreme but that’s how passionate I am about those 2 rides). Thanks so much as always!

[@kenwbrenner]

@@4KWDW Concur completely Friend! Thank you for all you do for us...

[@paigelivesay2977]

this ride is ASMR

[@alaskatikiroom6802]

Such a fascinating and important ride. We really need to take care of our planet for our children of the future! Thanks for another great video!

[@4KWDW]

Yes most definitely! I’m so glad this ride still exists, and also the Behind the seeds tour! Thank you so much as always 😃

[@nsxt25]

I am so bummed I missed this when I was at Epcot. Next time. Great video! Thank you!

[@seamanship1203]

This has got to be one of my favorite Disney World rides

[@SandraLovesSun]

Love your channel! Been subscribed a while. Thank you for this! One of my all-time favorite rides at Walt Disney World!

[@4KWDW]

Thank you so much Sandra, I really appreciate it! 😃

[@naturalflow157]

This is truly so amazing and very soothing to listen to as it brings such a creative and positive vibe of the core spirit. As someone who has been experiencing a lot of stress lately, coming home and sitting down on the sofa to allow the problem vanishes by watching your video is a saver. Thank you so much for creating this and take care :)

[@emily91303]

So much you can do with nature!

[@theactualdarthvader]

these rides are the best and by these rides i mean: the people mover, living with the land, carousel of progress, spaceship earth. just to name a few. they are always so very calm and lowkey

[@debbiev.9275]

Beautiful job capturing this beautiful ride. I like how you focused on that great mural at the end.

[@4KWDW]

Thank you so much Debbie! I absolutely love that mural!

[@dmdrewitt]

Thank you for documenting in 8K. I love Living with the Land ride - so much to see.

[@4KWDW]

No problem David! I definitely will try to film/upload more in 8K when I can!

[@CraigSiegel32]

The most relaxing ride at WDW (ok, it’s a tie with the People mover).

[@andrewpriester6994]

My Mom sometimes nap on this ride, same with People Mover & Spaceship Earth

[@4KWDW]

Yep! It’s hard to pick which one is the most relaxing for me. If I would always have a quiet boat like I did for this ride, then I’d say Living with the Land for sure. But when people are yelling a lot(unfortunately that’s 50% of the time) it’s not as relaxing lol

[@andrewpriester6994]

@@4KWDW Never noticed people ever yelled on Living with the Land ride

[@4KWDW]

@@andrewpriester6994 it happens to me often when I ride during peak times in the day. Usually they are teenagers or younger adults. I do my best to ride first thing in the morning or right before park close, because typically the ride is a walk on then and I can get my own boat

[@mikefischer9327]

This ride remains a treat and it reminds you of how awesome a park Epcot once was

[@Soarinoverohio]

Amazing 8K quality! Thank you for bringing us the magic through KZbin!

[@4KWDW]

It’s truly my pleasure Jolene! I will continue to find new ways to film the parks in the highest quality possible for you and everyone! Thank you for always watching 😃

[@Danielsmith-ek8ng]

out of all the rides/things to do in wdw … this is what i’m missing the most right now

[@andrewpriester6994]

This is one of the rides we have to go on

[@4KWDW]

It’s a classic for sure!

[@tpg5974]

Compare EPCOT in its glory days (Horizons, Universe of Energy, World of Motion, Wonders of Life pavilion) to today... Glad I was able to experience it back then. Guess that makes me old.

[@amycampbell7561]

Yes i am crazy but i love the smell of this ride🤭

[@4KWDW]

Oh no you’re not Amy! I love the smell in there too lol, and I’m sure many others do too!

[@oldhoc52]

There was always something I loved about this pavillion …I have been going there since it opened and always found it peaceful and a great place to rest, eat a snack, and basically feel the magic of Disney, hopefully it remains there forever, always creating great memories for who ever enters its doors….

[@LorettaCorona]

love this attraction specially wave at people that is at the restaurant 🦓

[@4KWDW]

Yes! It’s really cool how the Garden Grill restaurant can be seen from the ride and vice versa!

[@wdwexploreandchill]

This corner of the park is where I always go to cool off and calm down… between this and Seas it always does the trick. ❤❤❤

[@kathleenkirkness4409]

One of my favorite rides!

[@carolstearns3683]

We call this the vegetable ride and we love it!

[@johncmeyer5832]

Sunshine Seasons is my favorite place in EPCOT for lunch. Garden Grill is a nice place for dinner.

[@nikyboyable]

After a long day at the park that would be heaven to ride 😂

[@masterhaterbater5927]

Living with the land is legendary, this is just a feel good ride, one of my favorites from any themepark

[@JD-iu6rv]

Unironically one of the best rides at WDW

[@jaykay1899]

I agree. It’s so special.

[@nickemp5744]

The most relaxing rides ever

[@fraghead1111]

This brings back good memories. It’s mine and my younger son’s favorite attraction. It’s been a dream ever since to have a huge hydroponic garden like this. 😊

[@ritacal557]

This ride is a favorite. Don’t pass it by. When kids are tired and it’s hot out it’s a great break.

[@tonyalfano9328]

My FAVORITE attraction at Disneyworld.

[@fizzedball7078]

5:28 Never realized that you could see into the food court

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Even though the ride running through the dining areas is cool as a rider, it's a little awkward actually eating and like 100 faces are staring at you. Like in pirates ride you got this fancy and expensive dining arrangement, and then a family with crying kids just rolls up 15 yards away watching you eat your surf and turf. lol

[@TristanStudio37]

one of the best ebcot ride

[@spottedbynick]

that is one heck of a ride 💀💀💀

[@MeguVusion]

One of the most underrated rides in all of Disney World. I think there might be a cult-like following for it too.

[@reeserupprecht3818]

Fantastic way to cool off and take a rest, other themeparks need calm rides like these to hold pull people from lines and offer some time to chill

[@ShardsOfNarsil]

This video just makes me sad for the loss of Walt's vision and what could have been.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

One of the awesome things about Disney World was it kind of represented the summary of mankind for kids. All the different technologies and accomplishments around the world were on display in various ways even in their IPs and it was kind of like showing the kids what they can be a part of when they grow up to build the future. It was extremely inspirational. Especially today with the amazing technology we have, presentations like this hydroponic setup should be more common in Disneyland and Disney world. Instead we have LGBT parades. lmao. Hey kids, when you grow up, you can suck dick or cut yours off!

[@Liz.R]

🐐🐔Aww, you got it done! Now the precious goats are in 8K. (OK the dog to) How many times filming before getting a quiet boat? A phenomenal (& Comical) idea, Stargate & tacos sippers - a niche of people would get it, but I can't be drinking when reading comments because I wasn't expecting THAT🤣🤣. So happy you got a fav in this loviness. Onto the Speedway, oops I mean SpEarth lol. 😉😁. Thx 4💜

[@CraigSiegel32]

Obviously 8 times lol

[@4KWDW]

Believe it or not, I only rode this one time and that ride was completely quiet! It was probably one of my luckiest rides on Living with the Land ever! Whenever I ride during the day, there’s always someone yelling nonstop or trying to snatch a banana from the tree lol but thankfully all was calm this time. I’m sorry if I made you spit your drink Liz😂 Thank you so much as always, and I’m on my way to MK now to film the Speedway in 15K. I wanna make sure I’m the first one into the park for this special occasion!

[@Agaettis]

And one of the best restaurants

[@OmarAntonioFigueroa1989]

Does anyone have updates on the individuals from Living with the Land's last scene, especially 'tomato girl' and 'blueberry kid'? I learned those images might be stock photos purchased in the 80s/90s, meaning they could be in their early 50s now. It's intriguing to think they’ve been part of Epcot's history for decades without knowing. Would love to hear if there's any info out there. Their presence has left a lasting impact on many of us.

[@Ryan-uh2kb]

This is one of my favorite rides to go on when I’m at the park. It’s so relaxing and you learn something about food and all that stuff while sitting down in a boat moving at about 2 mph. The only part that freaks me out is the alligator part, even when I know that they’re not real.

[@The-epcot-nerd]

I still miss the original loop music

[@Lusterburn]

Former Maintenance Manager here: I would recommend if you can ever drain the water from that ride to use a scrubber with diamond polishing heads on the floor followed by a pressure wash and reseal. I am available for hire.😎

[@EmiFukukado-x1b]

Hi! First of all, this is my FAVORITE ride! Second, what camera did you use for this? I've been looking to get my partner a new camera for our upcoming Disney trip and this one looks GREAT!

[@jenniferbeardtrusty1671]

I'm sitting in the exam room at my doctor's. I'm listening to this, so my blood pressure will be lower when they check it.

[@cassierole1620]

Any chance you have a picture of the living with the land wall where all the quotes are? One of my grade schools is on there and I can’t find anywhere online that shows what they say

[@wintercat2605]

It hasn't changed since I was a little kid, which is cool. The fact that's "still in the future" for the hydroponics as it has been since the 1980's is a bit depressing.

[@rsalgado]

Is it really cool??? I´m planning my travel and I can't understand why I would go to an attraction like this. it is worth it?

[@vixenrokana]

I love this ride so much I hope they never take it out

[@4KWDW]

Same here!!

[@mariangomz7919]

No drops in this one either right?

[@4KWDW]

Nope!

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

Lol could you imagine a random drop after getting all comfy learning about hydroponics?

[@Colin-cube]

June 30th

[@gildedlillyproductions2943]

Didn’t, this used to be about dinosaurs?

[@4KWDW]

Oh no, what you’re referring to was the Universe of Energy ride. That’s been closed since 2017 and was replaced with a Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster

[@MrVeurzitter]

The on ride is as boring as the ride was for me as a teenager.

[@brainysmurf74]

I miss the human narrators
