  First stop today, Epcot.
  A look at Daisy and Donald as I waited for the park to open.
  The new tap to enter poles waiting for to be opened for the day (the guests in the background were entering for the breakfast).

  Healthly lines across all the entrances.
  Plenty of cast members inside waiting to open.

  A large group making their way to Test Track, and there was another going toward Soarin.
  They were filming something right by the sign, the woman in yellow was the on camera person, did not recognize her.
  Not many people stopping for Fastpasses yet.

  First up gave the Standby Entrance a try since it was posted at a 10 minute wait.
  As you walk in the Standby queue goes to the right (where as Fastpass and Single Rider to the left of this concept car).

  A walk through the queue now.

  The next room had a film loop playing.
  

• Page Number: 15
  

  The loop talked about designers and a little on the process.
  Temporary RFID cards for those that did not have their own passes already (all Disney Resort guests have the new passes and those AP guests that did the exchange).
  

• Page Number: 16
  

  Waiting to enter the Design Studio. The doorway on the far side with the chain is where the Fastpass line merged in the other day.
  

• Page Number: 17
  

  The monitors explain the process of what you are about to do.
  Time to start designing my car.
  

• Page Number: 18
  

  At this point my screen froze and I spent the next three minutes staring at this for the most part.
  Till it neared the end and it switched to this.
  

• Page Number: 19
  

  Waiting to board.
  

• Page Number: 20
  

  Someone asked how the car knows who you are.. this is how. Once you are about to board there is a place for you to tap your card to link it to your seat/car.
  Some pictures from the ride through..

  Hmm.. I would not make a good car designer.. the stuck version today scored one point better than the one I was playing with last time.
  Approaching the showroom.
  Decided to give the single rider line a try to round out all three queues.
  

• Page Number: 26
  

• Page Number: 27
  

  Then head up past the Fastpass queue and to a kiosk to choose your car. This time no customization options, just choose the car you want from the list.
  Those are Fastpass return guests on the right.
  Confirming my car gets loaded just before boarding.

  This time I did a quick video of the ride through. I cut out the outdoor portion since it was all white due to me not adjusting the camera..
  Exiting through the gift shop.

  The Lion King grouping on the way to World Showcase.
  The Butterfly House is by Innoventions West. (toward Journey Into Imagination)
  

• Page Number: 34
  

  I thought this was an interesting moment. This group of cast members was brought out and they started waving. They then played an announcement welcoming them to the Epcot family. I was not quick enough to turn on the video.

  I went out through the International Gateway. Saw this old car and wedding as I approached the Boardwalk.
  They drove off toward the Yacht/Beach Club after I passed by.
  

• Page Number: 41
  

  The walls around the Bakery were down today. It still was not open, it opened a week or so after I left.
  Next stop, Downtown Disney. The Truck Shop was out and open today near the Pleasure Island entrance.
  

• Page Number: 42
  

  Somehow I managed to stop at Downtown Disney three times this trip and this was the closest I got to Splitsville... maybe next trip.
  You can see some construction trailers and temporary fencing in the far parking lot. Guessing this is for the Disney Springs project.
  No visible changes as you walk through Pleasure Island. Same walls.

  Random Mickey Topiary.
  A closer look at the Lava Lounge. Looks about ready to open.

  Waiting for a bus saw the Pizza Delivery van.
  On the way to the Magic Kingdom a look at track waiting to be installed for the Mine Coaster
  The Iron Man 3 Monorail.
  

• Page Number: 49
  

  We took a boat over to the Wilderness Lodge.. looking up as the monorail passed overhead.
  The boat dock at the lodge looked rather new, recently worked on (or at least clean) to us.
  

• Page Number: 50
  

  Walked through the lodge.
  

• Page Number: 51
  

  After a stop at the Villas to see the train items back to the bus stop (we had visitors with us without park passes so we were taking them back to get their car at Downtown Disney now).
  

• Page Number: 52
  

  Spotted a bus with the new paint scheme while enroute.
  Soon a walkway will be coming through here if I understand the model/plans for Disney Springs and this restaurant will be gone.
  Interesting note.. the Pleasure Island bus stop had this sign to guide guests.
  

• Page Number: 53
  

  As well as ramps and queue space set up on the back/parking lot side. Was this left over from the Marketplace bus stop work, or preparation for future work?
  The Yacht Club lobby.
  

• Page Number: 54
  

  The pool was quiet this afternoon.
  Decided to go to dinner at Beaches and Cream since they said only a 5 minute wait for a table.
  

• Page Number: 55
  

  The menu if you were curious.
  

• Page Number: 56
  

  Waiting for my food.. I think one of those burgers are mine..
  We were surrounded by Kitchen Sinks.. the tables on either side of us ordered one.
  

• Page Number: 57
  

  The aftermath from one of the tables that had two girls would guess late high school maybe early college age.. they said their friends bailed so the two of them gave it a try to eat the whole thing.
  After dinner walked over to Epcot. World Showcase had a healthy crowd this evening.
  Walking through were groups of kids.. there was a prom going on at World Showplace and they were walking through the park to get there.

  Walls up in Norway, everything was open. Wonder what is going on.. maybe a photo? Or just routine work?
  

• Page Number: 61
  

  It had been forever since I had been in the lobby.. so took a peak in.. the Fastpass machines.

  The Village People were performing again.. stopped for a song as I walked by. It was the same set as the night before so kept going.
  Did spot these Cast Members having a good time and dancing along.

  The LED lighting on the topiaries in France was a little odd to me.
  

• Page Number: 74
  

  Made it around for Illuminations. This is what happens when you do not pay attention to the camera settings..

  This wraps up the day.
