Rooftop signage is now installed at EPCOT’s rethemed poutine kiosk. We stopped by the area near the Canada Pavilion this afternoon and found dual marquees mounted on the roofline. The Air Canada sponsorship is visible on both, and opening day is just over a week out. Here’s a closer look! La Poutinerie Signage Installed at […]

In what can only be described as the second-most-popular reflecting pool refurbishment in America, Walt Disney World has applied a new finish to the floor of its World Celebration reflecting pool. What the Disney reflecting pool refurb lacks in popularity, it makes up for in competency. While visiting EPCOT today, we noticed that a new […]

The rethemed poutine kiosk at EPCOT’s Canada Pavilion continues its march toward a July 1 opening.

The location remains behind construction walls, […]

Good morning from EPCOT, where trees have been removed from the central planter in front of Spaceship Earth.

As we approach the 7-month anniversary of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure switching from 3D to 2D, there is another change that we’re still waiting to see implemented – the arrival of new props on the ride.

Reflecting pool refurbishments are all the rage these days, and Walt Disney World has embarked on one of its own at EPCOT.

The solar-powered smart cans at EPCOT have moved beyond their original test home in the Germany Pavilion.

Walt Disney World has also added solar-powered recycling cans to the mix. Here’s a […]

The PLAY Pavilion flag has been removed from the main entrance plaza in front of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, replaced by a flag bearing a generic EPCOT logo.

Every once in a while, a merchandise display comes along that is so excellent, it not only outshines the merchandise it is displaying, but it deserves an article and photo shoot all to itself.

Walt Disney World has recently resumed work on upgrades to the panels on the exterior of Spaceship Earth at EPCOT. This is a resumption of work that began last August. If I had to guess, some 60-70% of the work has been completed, with the focus now on the rear section of the Project Tomorrow […]

Good afternoon from EPCOT, where we just got off the Disney Skyliner, grabbing photos of what appear to be roller coaster support columns.

Thank the Phoenicians! Spaceship Earth has reopened at EPCOT this morning following a multi-day closure. The attraction last operated on March 20th, and was closed all day on the 21st and 22nd.

Terrans looking for the full Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind experience have been out of luck for at least a couple of weeks.

There has been a lot of loss at Walt Disney World lately with the removal of the Rivers of America, MuppetVision 3D, DINOSAUR, and more. Now, we can add a beloved breadfruit tree to the list. While visiting EPCOT today, we rode the Living with the Land attraction only to find that the breadfruit tree […]
