Hey everyone! Spent the afternoon at EPCOT, and bring ye back all the informations! Please to Hastily read on!

EPCOT

-First of all, the Entrance Loop is changed. Unless this is some sort of temporary music track or leftover from Flower and Garden, which is unlikely, I believe you should prepare yourselves for not hearing the familiar EPCOT music that's welcomed you for years.

I really hate to break the news, but this may be a big disaster for most of you.

I wandered in listening to every note trying to place my best guess on this music. At first it sounds like classical music. Heavy classical influence, but nothing in particular. Towards the end of the sweeping classic score, I realized that I've heard this song in a different tune before.

It was Bippity Boppity Boo from Cinderella. Before I could catch my breath, a new classical-style rendition of "This is Love" began to play.

In short, no EPCOT music. Just classical-style renditions of Disney Tunes. I really hope this is just temporary, but...I have a feeling that this will be "EPCOT Entrance Loop 2009".

As for what I think? Until I hear some real EPCOT tunes in the plaza again, consider it ON NOTICE.

-No news from inside Spaceship Earth, all normal.

-Crowds were Medium to Light, nothing major except the lines for Soarin' and such.

-Paltry selection of UP plush and books at MouseGear.

-New retro shirts are awesome.

-Lots of missing audio in my Mission Space capsule.

-First ride on Energy since the rehab, looks nice but pre-show projectors were really fuzzy.

-KUKA Fish working on Nemo.

-Reflections of Earth was going good, until Celebration...when the LED's on Earth broke and the globe stopped. Bless their hearts they turned on the interior lights and set them to the music. Thankfully it opened and the fire worked too.

-After the show ends and the full We Go On song plays, they now play the wonderfully atrocious "Celebrate You" song. No thank you.

OK, got tons of pictures, so let's get too it!

ENJOY!

Hm. Sounds like its just the F&G Festival music. Odd they haven't gotten to changing that yet. Whew! At least that won't be permanent (at least it shouldn't be...)

What did happen to the railing at The Seas? Seems odd that they would get rid of it. I agree, its a bad idea. :lol:

Good to see all the lights are working on the torii in Japan.

And just an FYI, the interior pedal lights on the Earth Globe (still having problems with it I see :() have always turned on and danced (essentially flashed) during Celebration. Its just that with all the fireworks during that segment, the globle kinda goes unnoticed. :eek:

Nice update; thanks!

Servo...:brick::lol: That's F&G Music...I'm guessing they have not changed it back, yet.

*is recovering from heart attack*:lol:

Nice update though, the Seas Railing is odd though, you are right. Shame about the EGB, but at least the interior effects cover it...sorta. Hope they fix it.

ToN still goes on after the full We Go On/Promise.

Are you guys sure? Maybe I just don't remember this year's music being like that.

Anyways, I really hope that's the case.

(And yep, it's We Go On/Celebrate You/Tapestry of Nations. One of these songs don't belong :lol: )

Nice! I still can't believe the original color scheme is back.

Except one of the side effects of Future World East is the overgrowth of trees....as you can see they still haven't (and probably won't) remove the trees growing next to the yellow painted part of the UoE Pavilion. :eek:

Pretty sure. If I may say one thing, WDI/WDE usually gets the music spot on for anything they do.:D

Celebrate You being placed after Promise was going a few weeks ago when I was down there. Made me rage so hard they put that in place of the Tapestry music that used to be on the loop there.
