Ok so looking at those old pictures of Epcot made me need to look at a current map to see where everything was placed so I looked at Google Maps

http://maps.google.com/maps/ms?t=k&ie=UTF8&om=1&source=embed&oe=UTF8&msa=0&msid=104669159413782391962.00048a18a6d62c22be5e5

Upon looking there it led me to notice this building labeled Wonders of Life....now in the past 4 years we have never went over into that area where Ellen's Energy is... but hubby said he remembered going there when we went in 2003...and he remembered back in the day when it was Body Wars....so I looked on my current Disney app and the building was still there but not labeled...so I Wiki'ed it and found that it closed in 2007 and the building is only used for special events throughout the year...anyone have fond memories of it that they want to share? LOL

I believe it's used every year for the food and wine fest head quarters. Lots of tastings and the ability to buy wines and booze on site Smile there's also another not used much building the Odyssey near world showcase. We had a grand gathering event there in 2008 and then priority seating for illuminations.
It was fantastic, I don't know ifihave pictures. I think my MiL might I'll have to check with her.
