I had to be at Epcot quite early this morning. I was walking through the gates at 6 AM. My meeting was in the land. See the photo below for a visual reference. Thank you to MattJS for taking such a wonderful photo:
If you look above where it says Garden Grill Restaurant, you will see darkened windows, a whole floor of them. Up there are some offices and conference rooms. From up there you can look out windows and see into The Land ride, specifically the rain forest, prarie, and farm house scenes.
Now I've always wondered if they keep the music on in the parks all night. I've been at the parks pretty early and have always heard the music (with the exception of water parks). Well since I was at Epcot at 6 AM I made a few discoveries: they do indeed shut the music off and some of the lights are not on either. However, the weird thing...all the sound effects and audio animatronics in the Land boat ride, do stay on. I was cracking up watching the prarie dogs go up and down and the lightning work and the buffaloes move.
And now for a Food and Wine development. The booths have been moved from their home near the Wonder Parking lot to behind World Showcase. They are spread out between a number of countries.
