Hey everybody, last EPCOT Update before the Hiatus. So Let's get right to the right stuff, right?

EPCOT


-Crowds light, nary a line for anything.

-No visible hullabaloo around the Robocoaster thing in Innoventions other than a big wall and some construction noises.

-At Japan for the first time in YEARS, ART OF and Picturebooks, both Japanese and English, for Studio Ghibli movies have returned, such as Castle in the Sky, Porco Rosso, Kiki's Delivery Service, Totoro, and prominently featured: Ponyo. Observers will note that Japan used to be filled with a wide variety of wonderful statues, books, plush, and other goods from these films, but in the past few years replaced with hackey American goods that sell better (COUGH-HACK-transformers-HACKcough-) Excuse me. Hopefully this signals a return to the more authentic stuff for sale in the collectable portion of the store.

-Other notes from the Japan store: In celebration of the American release of Ponyo, they are giving away the US Poster for free! That's right: Free! Stop by and pick one up, how can you pass up a free poster from an amazing movie?

-Impressions De France is still a great movie, I don't care who you are.

OK, that's about it. On to the pictures!

Enjoy!

Thanks for the update, Impression de France is a great movie, with an even better sound track. I love all of the film attraction in the World Showcase, well I am not the biggest fan of the Norway film but Maelstrom makes up for that.

Like your pictures as always. After visiting Paris this last spring, I can't wait until I see Impressions De France again. Must be quite spooky being in the park when it's that empty!

Gorgeous black and white shots, Travis! You just went up 15 more cool points in my book for your Impressions de France comment. You are now almost as cool as Bender Bending Rodriguez. :lol:

Goodness, how late were you there? :lol: Great update as usual. Just wondering, did you by any chance notice if the sign for Impressions de France is back up after its refurb, or is the temporary is still there?

Terrific updates! And I agree with, Impressions de France does indeed have a wonderful soundtrack. I enjoy listening to it online when I'm studying or reading......

I always love your photos and updates but the comment about God wanting Chick-Fil-A open on Sundays was an all-timer!

Thanks!
