News U.S. Navy Blue Angels to fly over Epcot in early May 2019

The picture on that flyer posted above is perfect.

It was actually taken by a member of the Blue Angels communication team. This is a scan of the printed small poster they were giving to visitors at an airshow in Vero Beach they were performing at last year.

True... if they’re flying in low enough over the castle that would be perfect. But I know that’s not guaranteed. Maybe I have to go to the bathroom! Haha

Except the fly over is at Epcot, not the castle like the poster shows. Not sure where they will be viewable from though and the sound will carry a long way as well.

Multiple reports are that they’ll be flying in from the north approaching SSE to the south so the best places will be south of the fountain looking back toward SSE. When they did the MK one pictured above, they did 2 passes, both from north to south.

Here is the official Disney Parks blog video from that. Expect the same 2 passes over SSE toward the south as they did at MK.

I’m well aware. I was stating it’s always possible for them to do a low approach toward Epcot if they wanted to. I don’t expect that however.

SSE can be a bit too close if you're at the fountain though, I'd think a better view may be back where they typically place the Christmas tree, do you agree?

I do agree. I think the key is you want to be at least on the south side of the fountain. If I was able to be there, I'd be back near where the monorail crosses over the promenade or even back at the beginning or World Showcase.

I decided to go over and see it this morning. I'm so glad I did. It's so easy to say all the negative things we all think about the current management and leadership at the parks, but there are times when it still just feels so great to be there!

I had planned my trip for the studios 30th, so the blue angels was a total bonus. So glad I got to see this.
