6/30/14 Walt Disney World Photo Report (Epcot, 8-Bit Chairs, & More)
John Corigliano and myself visited Epcot over the weekend and took some phoitos of what is new and noteworthy in the park to share with you, so let’s take a look at the latest from the park:
Welcome to Epcot
An ad for Frozen Summer fun is on the times guide at every park right now…
Work continues to repair the water main behind Innoventions
Inside Innoventions behind Club Cool and Character Spot, some tables and chairs were added to the abandoned lobby area near the restrooms
The chairs have a strange “8-bit” look
Nothing too special about the tables, but a nice offering given how many guests crash in here during the summer months
The water features at Imagination! will be off until the water main is fixed
Not sure when this happened, but the Captain EO FastPass machines were removed
It’s quite the mess
The food cart between Imagination! and The Land is behind walls
The Odyssey has been a very popular place to watch the World Cup
Your World Cup update courtesy of Epcot…
Just a few minutes before this photo was taken, the place was PACKED for the Mexico game…
There is another soccer photo-op by the Germany pavilion
They also have the brackets board back here
The Glasskunst in Germany was closed for a few weeks for a small remodeling, but it is open now and looks great
The main reason for our Epcot trip was the new snacks at the Refreshment Outpost in World Showcase. They have two new yogurts and a alcoholic rum drink
In the 30 seconds between getting the yogurt and getting to a table, the Florida heat made the yogurt a little less photo friendly, but they were still absolutely delicious!
The coconut is my favorite, but pineapple was also very good. We didn’t order the swirl, but when we mixed the two, it was incredible!
In the cultural exhibit in Mexico, they have added a pretty crazy projection-mapping effect to this large stone piece
They are projecting the original paint scheme that would have been on the piece onto the now-grey stone
Every few minutes, the coloring fades in and out
