  1. Great tour through the parks, Brandon. I can feel Christmas already!
  2. Wow. Looks like my yelling over a fountain was wrong, allow me to change it-
    "Why tear down the Skyway Building to make space for Space Mt., only to add a planter 2 weeks later?!"
    I actually think it looks very good, and it looks as if there is a lot of space. In other words, I take back all my yelling. It also looks like the entrance has been shifted to the right a little.
    At first, the new green signage made me green, but man does it look brilliant! I love the new green. It seems like there is a lot of it, but it isn't all that bad. I will miss the orange dreadfully though...
  3. Great work Brandon as always!!!
    The fountains outside of Imagination! are not operating. Anyone knows when it will work?

    Thank you!

    Epcot has fountain issues. Every time I go there, a fountain is down, whether it be the entrance fountain, the Fountain of the Nations, or the Imagination fountain. The good news is, they are always back on either by the end of the day or the next day. I just happened to be at Imagination when it was down.
  5. Thanks Brandon...
    Now I just hope new picture with water supply...jejeje
