MerfCot and the Merftempory Resort 8/21

[mousermerf]

Hellos!

Got some awesome photos from today, 8/21, of Epcot and the Contemporary resort, including the concept art for the 4th floor, new refurb walls at Epcot, and lotsa other stuffs.

I, too, purchased the Epcot-retro hat and saw a few people in the park wearing it. Also went into Fountain View and got a mint choco-chip ice cream sammich. Every table was filled inside, and about half were filled outside. There was a line for both sides, and the CM said they were very busy. It stayed open until 9pm - dunno if it stayed open through EMH.

Energy stayed open until 9pm and also for EMH. That was a bit of a fluke. According to Guest Relations pretty much everything was open - the park was packed. People either went to the PPP at MK or were at Epcot for EMH, and well, PPP ticket sales havent been great.. so around 7pm Epcot was getting completely full monorails arriving

Pics in a few moments!

Interesting, thats the complete opposite from what I've been hearing...

Merf is it true you live in Arizona? and you went all the way to Epcot today?

 

[EpcotServo]

Oh yeah, totally forgot what I wanted to say in my first post.
:hammer:

Did you perchance see the Muppet Mobile Lab as well? Also I'm wondering, does anybody think they'd run it at night?

I don't think so.
:shrug:

 

[Epcot82Guy]

Excellent. Can't wait for the pics.

And I must have missed the hats when I was down there. I'll have to stick with my current logo visor.

Merf is it true you live in Arizona? and you went all the way to Epcot today?

Um.. no. I live near Tampa. I still have no idea why folks think I live in AZ.

 

[mousermerf]

Wow - there are 41 photos!

They'll be uploaded in the next few mins (thank god for verizon fiber optic)

 

[WDWEric]

Haha, Thats just what I heard on here a couple weeks ago. I thought it was kinda crazy that you lived in Arizona and went to Epcot every day to update us on the wand. Great updates and can't wait for the pics!



Woo Hoo! 500th post!

Okie dokie, so here's SSE from the parking lot, minus stars of course:

And then I noticed they've got a fairly large box in the entrance area. Wonder if they're starting on the guest-flow overhaul?

Here is it from the monorail station:

Back to the sphere!

And a closeup..

And they're resufacing the walkway at the monorail station (this is going into it)

And the next post should have photos that are actually inside the park

 

[Surf Fish2285]

The have really gone nuts on those stars! I wonder when the palms will go in!

 

[mousermerf]

More sphere..

Then finally inside:

Well, atleast i'm in the park now, so a closeup..

I shall call you Spher-ey, and you shall be mine!

and one last look at SSE:

The irony is that there are other things in this photo update.. but also a whole 'nother set of SSE photos at night - those later!
