Hi everyone!

Flowers are starting to bloom around Epcot where Jack Frost took his toll. The purple and white flowers in front of Spaceship Earth are looking great! (below, left). There was a lot of rain today, and part of my time was spent inside creating an avatar of myself to play in the new Innoventions IBM offering called “Run Time” as part of the Smarter Planet exhibit (below, right).

Denise from Mousesteps stopped by Epcot yesterday to see what was left from the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival.  There wasn’t much left in Future World, but World Showcase still had a number of topiaries and gardens left in place. The main topiary is now down (below, left). Green grass fills in where Sorcerer Mickey once was (below, right).

D23 Flowers & Fireworks Celebration at Epcot – Event Report and Photos

Hi everyone!

While I was in Florida last week, I had the unexpected opportunity to attend one of the first events from the official Disney fan club D23! This was billed as “Flowers & Fireworks Celebration” at Epcot (event lanyard with logo below, left) and I am glad I changed to my travel plans to attend. After checking in at guest relations, we were given an envelope containing the event information, credential and a nifty surprise, a Soarin fastpass (below, right)!

Saratoga Springs Treehouse Villas: Opening Day Photos 6/1/09

I had the great honor of being one of the first to visit inside a newly-opened Treehouse Villa at Walt Disney World’s Saratoga Springs. June 1st was opening day – the treehouse villas had been soft-opening for a week or two. I’d already had the opportunity to visit the property previously and to talk with an Imagineer and designer of the new villas.
