Thanks to our friends at Nearmap, we have some recent aerial imagery from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Big changes are underway at the entrance of Epcot. Some of the plans have been announced, while others are still quite vague. Every park is getting adjustments to improve the guest experience as they enter, and Epcot’s not exception. Let’s see how this project is coming since our last update.

As we reported back in April, as part of the upgrades to Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, the floor of the resort lobby is currently being replaced in phases throughout the summer. When we last visited the resort, half of the lobby was wrapped in plastic black tarps. Construction has now moved on to the … Read more
Arguably one of our favorite parts about eating at Backlot Express in Disney’s Hollywood Studios are the props (well that, and very rarely, the food.) In a park where the magic of movie making is vanishing to mere ephemera and being replaced with themed RVs, every last bit of park history counts… except when it … Read more

I’m a sucker for movie anniversary pins, personally, so I had to get this Tarzan one. Especially since I can’t remember the … Read more
Good morning from the remaining half of the Leave-a-Legacy monuments. We’re at Epcot today, of course! Let’s see what’s going on in the new post-festival landscape.

Despite the gorgeous views of flower quilts during the Flower & Garden Festival, one of my least favorite pathways to take at Epcot is the narrow one that connects Future World West (right around the Imagination! pavilion) to the Canada pavilion in the World Showcase. The bottlenecks that occur here rival that of the old … Read more
There’s a brand-new signature restaurant headed to Epcot’s Japan pavilion this summer, and it looks like it’s going to look pretty, well, pretty! Landscaping work for just outside the restaurant finally started this last week, and if it’s anything like the rest of the pavilion, it’s sure to be gorgeous. From the main pathway, those with … Read more
As we announced earlier in the month, progress has begun on the removal of the Leave A Legacy monoliths at the entrance to Epcot.
