    The Express Monorail was closed as they were testing the new automation system on that beam this afternoon. Glad we choose the ferry.
    Here you can see cast members on the platform with what I assume is the test Monorail.
    Passing by the old airfield you can see cabins that I believe were recently removed from Fort Wilderness.

    Passing over the solar farm near the entrance to Epcot. Too bad they have to point away so the view from the Monorail is not overly interesting the back of the panels.

    If you were curious I asked for chicken nuggets with no fries.. and got this.
    The kids pizza is half the adult pizza. Seemed a little adventurous for a kids meal to me. Also odd they served it on the same tray and the adult one so it looked strange to have a large empty spot.
    Chip and Dale topiaries on the way to World Showcase.

    No wait time board on the east side of Future World right now.
