I must admit I didn't know that art instillation had an official name nor that it was "Inventors Circle"

Looks like it was thoughtfully designed. I’m so glad Disney finally did it - it appears there are more bag check tables, so the process should be faster, especially since they won’t have to check the monorail passengers.

This looks good. When we were there earlier this year bag check was at little tents, and it took foooreeevverrr. The longest back check out of all parks during our week was here. I hope this and the monorail thing will help that.

Was there last week and there is no more security check coming off the monorail into EPCOT. A great improvement.
The buses and parking still goes through security.

I did some research but can't find the answer, any idea when Spaceship Earth will close for refurb?

Sorry, can't look at those pictures without a tear or two. So, I'll just skip them and hope Moana's Water Thingy is a good replacement.

Wow. It will really be like a whole new place, next time I go. I'm not complaining. I look forward to it, but still will miss the old version of Epcot a little bit.
