Quick Photo update from a few places around the world.

Just click the image to see a much larger version.

Wilderness Lodge



The buffalo topiaries outside the lodge have been replaced with these birds. I preferred the buffalos myself.



The next three are of the redesigned Roaring Forks. Sorry about the poor quality. I had my camera on the wrong setting.







A nice boat



They were rebuilding the dock on the left side. It looked good and the entire area smelled like saw dust.



A quick shot from MGM



Construction equipment in the Epcot parking lot. They are in the process of repaving the road through the Epcot parking plaza.

Prep work for the Flower and Garden Festival. This is on the right side of the land. They have replanted the existing area as well as put down new sod. Now they are adding a few new planters to the area as well.







Flowers have already been planted around the water near Imagination.






Thats it for this update. If you have any questions please ask.

Big improvement at Epcot in 24 hours!

The planter by the Land was all dirt except the already established flowerbed. Tons of little "Lowes" flags stuck in it, and half of the waterway planter was just dirt too.

Pictures look great, Is Florida in the middle of a drought? Epcot's grasss isn't looking so green.

The area by Seas (that hill in the Land photos) has been aerated - essentially a machine cuts holes in the sod and yanks out little plugs. It takes a few days or it to heal, but yeah, it didn't look so good.

I am going to be down there for the F&G show this year for the first time in a while and it figures it would be a dry/drought year.:lookaroun I hope Disney can work its magic and Florida gets some rain.

[maggiegrace1]

Looks so great, only a week and a half.... yea!!!!!!

 

[aeillill]

Looking great!

thanks for the update!

 

[ArielBelle]

Is it just me or does Roaring Forks look the same?? Or did they add that stone and stuff?? Or was the rehab just to clean it up? I guess my mind is playing tricks on me.

Also always makes me wonder why Wilderness Lodge and Disney's Vero Beach Resort look SO simiar. I mean, i LOVE both, but they are very much the same from the outside. :veryconfu

Great photos - thanks for sharing! To me, the way the flowers are planted in the last 2 photos in post #2 look like flags. Hmmm.....

 

[GoofyMom2]
