Epcot Construction

While we enjoyed the Flower and Garden Festival, I also checked on the progress of construction at Epcot. Demolition of the old Innoventions West building in the center of Future World was almost complete.

And part of the new France expansion had been opened up - but just to allow access to the new restrooms.

While work on the new Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster, which will replace the Universe of Energy attraction, continued.

They've also been adding barges in the center of the lagoon for the new fireworks show that will debut in the fall.

Flower and Garden Festival

This week we returned to Epcot for the Flower and Garden Festival. We enjoyed seeing the topiaries and sampling some of the food and beverages.

While no new topiaries appeared this year, the Remy topiary which debuted last year returned near the entrance to the future expansion of the France pavilion. Other topiaries also appeared in different locations.

When we visit Epcot, we often stop at the DVC lounge on the second floor of the Imagination pavilion to rest and get free sodas and snacks. It's a great perk.
