The Invisible Leash Returns

On September 17th I wrote a post about the humorous invisible dog leash sign at the Muppet store, questioning whether it was an intentional joke or not.

Well, it looks like my question has been answered, as the leashes have been restocked and those dogs are just waiting to be walked. Oh well, it was a great joke while it lasted!

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

In honor of the Playoffs, I thought I would share this fun little detail etched into the pavement on New York Street.

A Photo Retrospective of Monday

As requested, here are a few of my photos from Monday's Celebration 25:

The flower logo topiary with a special 25th Anniversary sign


Just a small segment of the massive line to buy the limited edition Figment plush and shirts. These items sold out park-wide only a few hours after park opening!


And here they are! The special shirts and Figments (or what is left of them!).


The crowd assembles for the Re-dedication ceremony at 10:01.


Celebrating the Future World pavilions during the ceremony.


Cast Members from the World Showcase pavilions bring water jugs from their respective countries to pour into the Fountain of Nations, as Imagineering legend Marty Sklar looks on.


Fireworks signal the end of the ceremony.


The World War III barges are ready for the special IllumiNations tag.


The "Bat/Cat" Figment from the original Journey Into Imagination - isn't he cute?


The wonderful Epcot 25th gallery in Innoventions West.

Give a Hand

This "Palm" tree (get it?) can be found growing in Minnie's solarium, among the dandelions, sunflowers, daisies, blue bells, and buttercups.

A "Hole" Bunch of Toons...

Where you would normally expect to find a Manhole cover, in Toontown things are a little different. Here, it seems almost obvious that there would be a Toonhole cover! I guess this solves the mystery of what is used to cover those black holes to nothing that you always see in the cartoons.

We've Just Begun to Dream!

My week-long absence from posting has been the direct result of one amazing event: Celebration 25 at Epcot. I am still recovering from the eighteen straight hours spent in the park on Monday, but it was an experience I will not soon forget! So many memories created, so many friends made, and so many pins bought!

I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved with organizing the event: Adam, Jenn, Jason, Lou, and Jeff just to name a few - as well as the hundreds and hundreds of devoted Epcot fans who came to celebrate together. I have never seen such an outpouring of emotion and I feel honored to have been a part of it all.

Congratulations Epcot on 25 wonderful years - and here's to the future! We've just begun to dream.

The next time you visit Sunshine Seasons, take a little extra time to decide which season you would like to enjoy your meal in. The seating area is divided into four sections and themed accordingly.
