    One Little Spark 3: The Spark Squad - Main Competition Thread

    Team A Things I loved: The Twitter frame for announcing Carolwood Valley. Made it feel real. The Carolwood Valley graphic was great. Map provides a great overview, especially with the use of the highway. Love “Diego” the mounted talking fish! Nice dialogue for Max, Buff, and Melvin. Good change...

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    I've also been there multiple times and watched the decline of food and service. My last visit was as a single individual. They couldn't wait to get me out of there, perhaps to make room for a larger party that would provide a greater tip. (I usually tip 20%, but then I'm only one person.)

    I loved these lighted gates. Wish they would bring them back.

    News Big changes coming to EPCOT's Future World?

    <Sigh> I spent three days at Walt Disney World last week, including one at Epcot. I have loved WDW since my first visit in 1975 (full disclosure: I'm an old guy). I was particularly excited when Epcot Center opened. It has always been my favorite park, and I'm saddened to see how its original...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    I updated my Disney app on Tuesday morning with the new Genie+ information. I spent Tuesday in the Magic Kingdom and Wednesday in Epcot and managed not to succumb to spending more money on Genie+ for specific Lightning Lane attractions. I found lots of other issues with the app, including the...

    I can't wait to see this in person in a couple of weeks. This looks spectacular.

    San Angel vs La Hacienda

    I have loved San Angel since the beginning (1983 for me). Food and portions have always been great. Our one experience at La Hacienda was not good. We were rushed, and I thought the food just so-so.

    The Princess and the Frog ride was such a fun project. Thanks for sharing it again.

    Biergarten?

    I went to Biergarten for Thanksgiving several years ago. They added turkey and cranberry sauce to their usual buffet items.

    Journey of Water featuring Moana coming to Epcot

    The best part of these pics is seeing that ugly paint scheme finally gone from the former Innoventions East.

    News Reflections of Earth confirmed to be replaced by Harmonious

    The Epcot Forever I saw concluded with a musical shift to "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, signaling a shift to an IP laden musical score we might expect from Harmonious. I'm curious as to whether they might use that musical opportunity to light up the new LED screens in World Showcase lagoon...

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    I'll wait until I see what the tacos and donut look like as a daytime fountain. Disney gave up on preserving sightlines at Epcot when they allowed the Dolphin and Swan hotels to be built.

    Disney’s Q2 (Jan/Feb/Mar) FY 2021 Earnings Results Webcast on Thursday, May 13, 4:30ET.

    I own a couple of hundred shares of Disney stock. I first bought when it was $99 and again at $116. It's currently down from its high of $200 in the past year, but still a good investment to hold for the long term. I'm grateful every day that Disney got into the streaming business when they...

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    I completely agree with what WonderOfLife just wrote. I was 36 when Epcot opened and watched its progress from the moment it was announced. My first visit was within six months of opening. I was overwhelmed. It's hard to keep up with the future. We barely had personal computers when Epcot opened...

    Thanks for sharing these pictures. It highlights what little impact those lights make in daylight.

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    Doesn't look like they will be obtrusive. Lots of potential for how LED lights can enhance the nighttime view. (NOTE: I originally wrote laser, but these are LED lights.)

    News New Park Entrance coming to Epcot

    In one close-up version of the concept art for Epcot's new park entrance, there are no trees shown (where palm trees once stood). Instead, there are a series of flag poles to the left and right of Spaceship Earth. I loved the original palm trees, but having visited the park more than a few...
