The Land pavilion is very empty, with Soarin’ and the Circle of Life film both closed. That makes now a great time to visit the food court and hop aboard the Land ride.
More Zoo-Rail.
Prep starting to happen for the butterfly garden as part of Flower and Garden.Markers in the ground for the giant flower beds.
Trees lining the pathway from Future World to World Showcase in preparation for the festival.
TradNation has taken the place of the Lumberjacks, returning music to Canada’s stage.
I rag on Spice Road Table a lot for having no guests, but perhaps it really is time they reevaluate their menu and prices to get some people in there. It’s a BEAUTIFUL spot which just doesn’t resonate with guests.
There is a special exhibit inside the American Adventure for Black History Month.
Black History month is being celebrated throughout the month of February at the American Adventure Pavilion at Epcot. An exhibit of rare art, books and artifacts from African American history are on display inside the pavilion.

Nothing new at Frozenstrom.There is some new steel rising where the Frozen meet and greet will go.
