It’s another beautiful day at EPCOT! The sun is shining, the construction walls are fresh… We have to start our day making a critical decision: East or West?

We decided to head towards the East pathway, which leads you to the rope drop for Mission: SPACE, MouseGear, and Test Track (eventually… when it reopens after refurbishment.) This pathway will also be the way towards the EPCOT Experience and Norway.

The pathway is narrow, so the crowds are very deep, but things open up as you get to the split for Test Track and Mission: SPACE. Keep moving and don’t look back.

Don’t look back.

I said, don’t look back!

If you’re heading down this pathway, be advised that the closest restrooms will be at the EPCOT Experience.

Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure has been removed to make way for the new DuckTales World Showcase Adventure (Woo-oo). We’re glad we took a moment to say goodbye when we had the chance.

Fans of the new “Ink and Paint” collection will love this new Alex and Ani bracelet for $49.99. This Sorcerer Mickey bangle would match the Loungefly bag perfectly.
