After passing by the 75 minute standby line at Test Track (single rider was 15 minutes though!) to head into World Showcase, we spotted some work being done on one of the arms of the barges, and screen testing for Harmonious.

Norway had a double surprise for us because for the first time in forever, we saw Anna AND Elsa out greeting princes and princesses at the same time!

Refreshment Outpost, just past the China Pavilion, had its sign and Coca-Cola car returned.

Always a jolly good sight, we waved to Mary Poppins as we strolled through the UK Pavilion.

Just after days after reopening, the props from outside Northwest Mercantile have disappeared.

Heading back around into World Discovery near MouseGear, we peeked into the breezeway to see the inner panels to the left of Creations Shop had been painted and the lights turned on!

This pink floral “You had me at Walt Disney World” water bottle for $27.99 caught our eyes as we were making a last run into MouseGear before heading out!
