There was so much happening at Epcot over the weekend that I just had to make a visit, so let’s see what’s new and exciting around the park in our latest photo report:

The original Soarin’ is now back until June 16th

There was quite the rush to get in line for Soarin’ the first day back

The new men’s restrooms downstairs by the attraction also opened

A new elevator was also added to the left of the attraction entrance

Some minor changes were made to the Soarin’ queue

Screens installed

New wallpaper and lighting

We will return shortly…

Work continues on the new Disney Vacation Club lounge at Imagination

The sign was being installed while I was there

There it is…

Now back to Soarin’

New carpet

The queue games appear to be gone in favor of screens, at least for now…

The new theater, Concourse C, is now open and functioning

Instead of remastering the Florida-only pre-show, they are simply running the HD version of the pre-show from California

Will Patrick return? We hope so…

The new theater reminded me of all the reasons I love Soarin’ when it’s new: the smells work and the projections looked fantastic

The new digital projections are amazing, crystal clear

The third theater does leave a lengthy exit process back to The Land

Select SHAG Star Wars merchandise is now available at the Art of Disney at Epcot

This new limited edition MagicBand debuted over the weekend

Work continues on the Royal Sommerhus meet and greet, the Margarita stand will close permanently tomorrow to make room

The facade of Frozen Ever After has been revealed

Quite different from Maelstrom

The old waterfall was sealed up as well

While stopping in the U.K. pavilion, I couldn’t help but notice that the Rose and Crown has more merchandise than most Walt Disney World attractions…

Over at Turtle Talk with Crush, characters from Finding Dory have been added to the show

There are entirely new segments based around new characters, even though the movie isn’t out yet…

I always found it strange that Squirt did not appear, but that has been fixed now
