Gonna be there to, though maybe not opening day. We get two shots at F&W this year. (August 30 - Sept 2 and Oct 20 - 24) Gonna drink 'em all! (like Pokemon but way more fun.))

How about drinking them all while trying to catch them all? Now that would be an adventure.

The Brazil ride better not be another 360 camera tour, lol. Use some of the tech from Pandora, but make it more like fighting the rapids of the Amazon in a Kayak or something. I doubt that will happen but since Disney doesnt have any Brazillian IPs and a full giant show building with a decent ride is kinda not likely for the amount listed in the rumor boards. I think that is the best bet for Disney

Actually they do kind of have a Brazilian IP with the purchase of Fox and Blue Sky Studios, which is owned by Fox. They did the movie Rio and Rio 2, along with other animated movies like Ice Age.

Is that one of the transport ships that will be the entrance to one of the attractions? (Battle Escape I think)

This ship is stationed on top of a building. This isn’t the ship you are referring too. That will be closer to the other entrance from grand avenue.

oh ok, didn't realize it was getting placed in that spot up high, though it was being lowered to the ground. Just saw the open doors on the side and it looked like that "entrance" ship - but I am sure there will be a few ships that look similar

Just recently. Epcot is still very fluid.

Re: Coco overlay ...

I was originally against it. But I will say, it's very much growing on me. I think changing over the art gallery to showcase more history of Dia de los Muertos has been a REAL hit, because every time I'm in the pavilion people are spending lots of time looking at everything.

It's such an important and special/sacred portion of the culture, I really wish it was more openly recognized and truly understood. I know that for me personally, it provides me great comfort to think that my deceased family members have a life after this mortal life - and one that doesn't follow any true religious overtures, and that on this day I have a chance to hear from them or have them hear me.

Agreed on all accounts.

The recent aerial of the plot behind Epcot shows more work being done. @DanBoris pointed out that the same company doing the Epcot lagoon work is the same company that filed to have their trailers on this property so it very well could be for illuminations work.
