EPCOT Construction Updates

EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival

While we were exploring EPCOT today, we spotted that botanical Cast Members were out maintaining the very cool topiaries in place for the Flower and Garden Festival.

One of them even let us in on one of the secrets to keeping the topiaries in ship shape!

Plus there’s a new presentation as a part of the festival — Growing the Future by MuRata and Science from Scientists!

Growing the Future Presentation

We watched one of these free events, learned a lot about soil, and even got to take home a FREE souvenir!

Harmonious — A Nighttime Spectacular

One day we visited, we spotted that the fifth and FINAL barge has been added to World Showcase Lagoon as work continues on the upcoming nighttime spectacular, Harmonious.

Harmonious Barges

The site certainly isn’t the prettiest right now, but we’re still hopeful for when the fountain and show debut.

Then, on our next visit, we spotted that one of the barges was briefly spraying water.

It’s a start!

The spray lasted for about a minute and didn’t happen again. And they were light testing!

Germany Pavilion

And a little bit of a nightmare update for you. The scary cuckoo clock in the Germany Pavilion was stuck open. Yikes!
