    Arriving at the Transportation and Ticket Center after my extended trip on the Epcot Monorail. The plan was to transfer to the Express but it was closed. The entrance blocked and cast members directed you to the Ferry.
    There was a sea of guests down there backed up at least one boat. So instead I opted for the Resort Monorail.
    Buses to the other parks are no longer here. They left the symbol but painted over the text.

    Work at the Polynesian. Guessing a new DVC structure may be coming here?
    New concrete paths going in.
    The new bungalows out over the water from the Monorail. I had wanted to go down to the beach for a good view but due to the weather and time did not make it there this trip.

    The longest posted wait time I saw the entire trip.. 305 minutes, that is over 5 hours. Has anyone really waited that long? Or is this mainly to discourage you from getting in line?

    Passing by China - I was walking quickly at this point since it was about 5 minutes until show time for Off Kilter and I had a good hike ahead of me to get to Canada.
    Had so slow down for some photos on the go.
    This would have been great with a Monorail but opted instead to make the beginning of the show.
