- 6:38am - Final morning at Disney's Boardwalk Resort.
- 7:39am - Decided to walk over to EPCOT for a few hours before checking out.
- A team working on Moana Journey of Water this morning
- 8:06am - Non resort guests waiting for the 8:30am park opening. The plan was to go to Spaceship Earth first (since it was the furthest point) but it was having problems and not open yet.
- So instead we went to the Seas first.. this is not a very traditional early entry first attraction choice but the nephews really wanted Spaceship Earth and Figment and both were not open.
- There were very few guests inside.
- One of the few references to Future World still left in the park.
- At this point Spaceship Earth, Living with the Land, Imagination and Gran Fiesta Tour were all down/not open. So we hung out in the Seas for a while.
- Not many other guests joining us.
- Monorail Green passing by
- Imagination was still closed, we walked by just to see if the app was wrong.
- Looking across World Celebration at the stairway work.
- Moana Journey of Water construction.
- Leap frog fountains
- The Jammitors came out to perform. They are along the main walkway near the closed restrooms
- Video of the Jammin' Gardners
- Gran Fiesta Tour opened so we headed to Mexico. Looking across World Showcase Lagoon at Italy
- 9:10am Arrived at Mexico
- 9:15am - On our cruise, there was no wait.
- The other attractions were still all closed so we decided to walk around World Showcase.
- Passing by Germany
- Pavement work underway in Germany
- Miss Piggy
- Spike the Bee
- Always nice to walk through a quiet World Showcase
- The aftermath of a wedding, flowers on the ground.
- Passing by the American Adventure
- Some concrete work in Japan.
- We walked around to the International Gateway at this point and most of the group went back to the room to prepare to leave. The App showed Imagination open so I took my one nephew for one last ride attempt.
- 10:12am - Walking by the United Kingdom.
- 9:53am - Arrived back at Imagination to find it was still closed. The CM said to check the app. I explained we hiked here because the app said it was open and he shrugged his shoulders.
- 10:35am - Back in the room for a few final minutes of this great view.
- A final look at the room before heading downstairs.
