5/28 Journey Into Epcot

[Horizons1]

Well, headed to Epcot yesterday to see the last of the F&GF and start enjoying the summer. There is not much to report but there is much to see. Let the pics begin!

As well as shirts, Soarin' now has magnets. I bought ten!

As you can see the other magnets are now reflecting the new Epcot... with Nemo.

Wall still up near Mousegear

It was a scorcher yesterday.

But the flowers sure are perdy.

Remember the Flamingos?

More to come...

Crowds were not that bad, only really long lines were for the major attractions.

Soarin' was an hour to and hour and 20 minutes. And because it was so hot, Malstrom had a wait of 40 minutes. Mission:Space was 20 minutes.


Epcot's big E-ticket, JIIWF, was.... 0 minutes.

:lookaroun :lol:

 

[SewIn2Disney]

Thanks! Can't wait to see more pics!

(BTW, we were there last June, waits for EVERYTHING were near 2hours, and JIIWF was a whole 5 minutes.)

And, you know it's bad when even M:S has a wait! Lol

 

[Horizons1]

Continuing on our journey, past the Outpost lies a small section for irragation, ladybug releases, fish, deer, and cookies (not really).

Ladybugs were handed out for free to be released.

Plant setup near Innoventions...

Innoventions...

Boy, I had not been inside Innoventions in a long time and I hate to say it, but, its gotten boring in there. What happened to the old Innoventions of 1994? The place was jumping back then, it was so big and there was so much to do. Now, its just...boring. So anyways...

Forests of our Future is walled up...

And so, after a full day at Epcot, nothing beats sitting by the shore of the World Showcase Lagoon while sharing an order of nachos from the Cantina.
