  Just after 9am on my way to Epcot. Passing the turn off for Disney's Hollywood Studios on Victory Way. There seems like there should be a sign closer to the turn.

  This sign is right after that turn indicating how to get onto Osceola Parkway, which is actuall after that first overpass.

  You can see some gondolas moving just beyond Italy.

  Finally walked by when they were making cotton candy in China.. only to have it start to rain on me and I had to run for cover.
  I sought shelter in China. And of course the one time I would like to sit and stay dry the theater doors were open and I could walk right into the film. After the movie it was still raining outside.
  They had first anniversary merchandise for sale for Shanghai Disneyland.

  As well as some Grand Opening items still.
  It was still raining so I waited for a lull then moved across to the gallery where there was more space than the store.
  The rain finally let up so time to head next door to Norway to use a FastPass+

  A 50 minute wait for Frozen but it looked shorter than that inside. Seems with the rain less FastPass+ people were showing up too.

  Oops.. I had my camera settings wrong so everyone ended up with green faces!
  Fixed it.
  The skies opened again. I made it as far as the church then stopped to let the cell pass vs getting soaked.

  It was about 1:30pm when I exited Norway.
  Made my way from building to building and to Future World in between cloud bursts.

  Half an hour later I am almost to the bus.. one more rain cell and a small lake to cross to reach the bus stop.

  The water was up to the wheels on strollers and over shoes.

  Made it back to our building and almost our room.
  It has been about an hour since I walked out of Norway.
  We had an issue with a suitecase.. the handle was ripped off and other damage to it on the way out. Not sure if it was the airline or Magic Express but we called it in and Disney took the bag to repair it. They decided it was not repairable and instead gave us this suitcase as a replacement.

  I had not realized it but one room of ours had a full shower the other a bath tub with shower.
  The shower drain was interesting.

  A closer look.
  After drying off and packing a bit we set off for dinner at the Dolphin. It was still raining so we decided to take a bus to Animal Kingdom and transfer there since it had covered bus stops and it was the first bus to show up.
  Markings for the upcoming entry project work.

  We of course had to go to a different area than we were dropped off in. Luckily the rain had let up.
  The rain stopped as we pulled into the Boardwalk and we were ahead of schedule so decided to disembark there and walk over to the Dolphin.

  The Pop Century line was not long but still smokey.
  30 minutes later back at Pop Century to conclude my last evening at the parks. I head home tomorrow.
