Welcome and come join us on another great trip to the experimental prototype community of tomorrow, but first…

It seems the sign on World Drive is the next to get the paint treatment as we saw Goofy getting wrapped and the base being fixed and primed.

On our way into the park looking to see if more Leave a Legacy panels were revealed, a cast member informed us that more are in the works, but if we were curious to check out something cool, led us to this panel. Can you spot the boyband in this picture?

Finally in the park, from the looks of it, construction crews are really working at demolition the final pieces of Innoventions West, leaving pipes broken and wires hanging.

Keeping with our promise, lines were taken down completely around the 3D chalk art area, sorry everyone, that may be it for the festival.

Also if you didn’t see it in the corner of the picture, we caught a cute couple Disney Bounding as Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket around the park today.

Walking into the United Kingdom Pavilion we spotted topiaries for the upcoming Taste of Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival.

On the Skyliner we caught filming for Ratatouille in the new expansion to the France Pavilion, hopefully, this means we’re getting closer to the opening of the ride.

We spotted some adorable pandas in the Chinese Pavilion.

A troll welcoming guests into the Norway Pavilion which slightly made us miss Maelstrom.

Anna and Elsa reminded us how great the new ride is.

One important thing we learned today: don’t stand here when the wind is blowing hard, this water is a lot colder than you’d think. At least it was refreshing and we were definitely wide awake after a long, hot day walking around the park. On second thought, feel free to stand here for as long you want.

On our way out we ran into Joy making friends with all the guests.

We finished our walk around the park seeing the waters drained once again, could this finally be the beginnings of Moana? We thoughts so before, but Disney pulled a fast one on us refilling it once again, I guess time shall tell.

With that we leave you with the same beautiful view Epcot left us and promise you more information to come as we continue our visits to the parks.
