Welcome to the weekend at EPCOT! For the first time in recent memory, we’ve got a mostly dry day with blue skies, unlike those weekends with Hurricane Isaias and Tropical Storm Sally, along with the unnamed Florida weather. Aside from the nicer weather, we were privy to a variety of new Minnie Mouse ear headbands … Read more
The structure that has been under construction at Kilimanjaro Safaris for the past several weeks is rumored to be home to a new goat exhibit.

Part of the walkway in the Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square has been roped off for what appears to be a refurbishment. The patch being worked on is located just off of the entrance to the Liberty Square Riverboat, which reopened earlier this week after its annual refurbishment.

We first noticed this new building being constructed at Kilimanjaro Safaris a few weeks ago.

As we sit just over three weeks away from the end of summer, we are also approaching the end of the window that was announced for the opening of one of EPCOT’s largest projects — the expansion of the France Pavilion and Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, a clone of the ‘Rat-traction’ which already exists at Walt … Read more

Clever girl… or should we say, clever girls? A second raptor has arrived at the upcoming “Velocicoaster” inside Jurassic Park at Universal’s Islands of Adventure, lowered onto the site via a massive crane.
