More or less they told us the same in China. The tea in tea bags are the lowest quality possible.

Then she was right! We never looked into it to see if it was true, but it did make sense. Every time I use a teabag all I think of is dirt in a bag now. Even when she lost her mind and couldn't remember much, she never forgot the dirt in a bag line.

Mine wasn't quite as bad for sure but I had glitches too last year.

One of the PhotoPass photos on my account belonged to someone else and our photo must have been put with someone else's account. Only one time did the Pirates one show up, etc. Sometimes the photos would show up instantly and sometimes not. We'd get the 7DMT video to show up quickly but the actual ride photos would be a while.

But I'm hoping for you that all your photos show up eventually. I do know MDE has been going in spurts as far as being really gliltchy for several days in a row then being ok then being back to being really glitchy again lately.

Both with Disney and Universal, the photos that show up on a mobile device versus a computer can be different. I've taken time out to go to services looking for missing photos, but when they logged in to my account on a computer, all of the 'missing' photos were there.

For both companies, I suggest calling as soon as you get home for any missing pictures. In all cases except 1, they (both disney and universal) were able to find and send me my photos. As long as they uploaded from the photographer properly, they exist somewhere....

There’s a lot of things to “stop and experience” at Epcot that many people overlook. I think it’s very similar to animal kingdom in that regard. The post shows in spaceship earth, test track, and mission space, along with taking your time in the seas is a good chunk of time right there

Yup, those kind of stuff are under my small attraction/walk-through portion on my spreadsheet lol

It took a while but for someone like me who hadn't been in a while I went through everything listed on WDW's website for my interests for this past trip. There's a lot to go over and I think it's easier to overlook stuff if you just looked at the map as opposed to the website at least and/or you're just in more of a go go go mood.

I wonder if part of it is the planning nature of a WDW vacation nowadays and many of the great things in EPCOT, especially WS, don't really fit into uber planning. We love just coming across one of the acts in one of the countries or having chats with some of the CMs that are from the respective countries, or just wandering around the pavilions and taking in the details

Like, there are a lot more things in Magic Kingdom to put into a spreadsheet - but doesn't mean there aren't tons of the things in EPCOT that can take time to enjoy

Yup. In my case I was checking on our computer

I didn't pay for PhotoPass nor MemoryMaker so I was only partially bummed but for sure I agree with calling in those cases in which you paid for Memory Maker or are going to pay for the photos separately.

But in a sorta good way it's nice to know that issue is one that Universal has as well.

I still drink my sweet tea anyway!

It's a good point. Honestly I think part of is actually that there might be so much to do it's easy to overlook the times when you can just stop and smell the flowers if you will. I know that's a contradictory statement to what we were talking about but I feel like with Epcot there's the dining, there's the rides, there's the more obvious performers outside the pavillions, there's the movies (O'Canada, Impressions de France, China), there's the shows, there's the interactive/small attractions/walk throughs that are likely easy to miss and the galleries in the pavillions, etc.

We are hoping that they show up because we had some really good ones today. We were the first people on Everest and rode it 6 times in a row.

That's awesome! 6 times is amazing. I went on it once back in 2011 and decided that was enough for me my husband on the other hand enjoys that ride a decent amount.
