It appears that over the last week or so, Spaceship Earth has gotten a much needed bath!

This was really, really needed, seeing as this is the park icon and all.

As I mentioned at the top, Flower and Garden is on its way in, as the festival starts on March 5th.

The Snow White topiary set in Germany received a nice upgrade this year, and the detail on these particular topiaries is rather striking. I hope that some of the ones that have not been placed yet turn out like these.

Really good stuff.

For lunch, we ate at Via Napoli, which is one of my favorites restaurants at Epcot. You can almost always get a walk up, no ADR needed, and the food and service are great.
