Good Morning Everyone!! Happy Friday!!

With The EPCOT International Flower and Garden Festival coming up, I thought I would take the time to help you guys get familiar with some of the great acts performing in this years Garden Rocks Concert Series!! For those of you who are torn as to which acts to go see, I’m hoping this will help you pick which group and/or performer is right for you!!! Let’s get right to it!!


First up, we have The Spinners!! They’re truly entertaining and won’t let anything get in the way of putting on a great show!!!

Next up, Flock of Seagulls! I hate to say it, but they can be a little selfish at times… but they have a big appetite for life, they’re always in sync and stick together no matter what!

And who doesn’t love a little Ambrosia?!! Not really pleasing to the eyes, or the mouth for that matter, but hey… it sure as hell sounds good, and that’s all that matters!!

Starship - The lead singer (who prefers to be called Lord), always comes out on stage to his own epic theme song! (Tip: Make sure you clap!!) Their music tends to be a tad bit angry… but always a blast to watch!

Kool and the Gang - this group busted out onto the scene many years ago, but their sound is just as sweet as ever!

Plain White T’s… always very clean cut, easy on the eyes, but for some reason, it always feels like they’re missing something!!


View attachment 638771


The Guess Who - Now they’re so much fun to watch play! You never know which new band member will perform next! It’s anyone’s guess!

A guy from Boston.

And last but certainly not least, The Pointer Sisters - It’s uncomfortable at first, but hey, you get used to it.

And who knows, maybe you’ll get lucky and get to meet a performer up close!! Wouldn’t that be something?!

Anybody else having issue with the website today? I’ve been trying to modify my res in February and after I select the options I want to change to and click continue it just takes me to a blank screen. Wondering if the website is just having one of those days.

 

[IceSkatingPrincess]

Also wanted to put out another request… If anyone will be in The World anytime soon, and will be staying on property, would you kindly post your resorts recreational calendar for us? We’d really appreciate it! @HokieRaven5 is keeping a list updated on Page 1 for anyone interested. Thanks so much!!

At Riviera now!

Apologies for this showing up sideways. It isn't sideways in my phone so not sure what is going on with mobile posting.

Edit: thanks for the tip, cropped it a bit and it flipped back!

Just do a quick edit of the photo where you trim it a bit vertically and that usually fixes the issue.

Thanks for sharing!!

There is a blogger live now!! Starting!!!!

Oh my gosh haha, I'm in this

We were talking to them and bought that big Cinderella castle painting with the 50 hidden mickeys (last one!). It's going to go in a place of honor at the top of the stairs!

I don’t really keep up with vlogs so I had no idea who they were. There were a ton of vloggers there today though.

You beat me to it was just getting ready to post this I’m glad I read the whole thread before adding it.

We watched the Broadway performers in Epcot this evening and the show was 1/2 hour so I’m not sure it’s worth it to pay for the dining package for it. They were good but it was no where near as crowded like it is for the candlelight procession it was easy to stand just outside the theater and there were some empty benches at the back. This was the 8pm show. We only were able to go to one food booth (artist table) it took 40 minutes in line but the beef Wellington was very good and so was the scallop. The scallops had decorative net looking piece of unidentifiable food that just tasted burnt, but it was easily removed and the rest was delicious. We also enjoyed the trio of sipping chocolates I got the alcohol version which was delicious.
We also saw two ladies walking back from the gondolas with the figment popcorn buckets so I asked them how long they waited and their reply was 5 hours .

VIDEO: Rainbow Connection Spaceship Earth Show Featuring The Muppets

Looks like that was filmed from the entrance plaza. Is it visible and can the music be heard from elsewhere in the park?

 

[Wood Nymph]

OMG I already am! As soon as I read the text. The Muppets were everything to me when I was a kid. My mom told me I used to watch the Muppet Movie on repeat. I’m emotional just thinking about it. We can cry together!!!

Our son watched the Muppet Movie over and over again when he was little. That song will definitely make me cry.

It should be visible around the park, but during our November and December trips, we could not hear the holiday show music other than right in the area of Spaceship Earth, so not sure if this music would be projected for this. Hopefully someone there now can answer definitively for you!
