Feature topic:

For our topic this week, we talked all about The American Pavilion in Epcot. We gave you facts and cool things to look out for.
We also asked this question:
If you could re-imagine what the American pavilion should look like, would you? Why/why not?
Leave us a comment and let us know what you think!

Hidden Gem:

-Lobby, Hall of Presidents, Magic Kingdom

For this Hidden Mickey you don’t even have to sit through the Hall of Presidents presentation (but I recommend you do it at least once).  Enter the lobby or waiting area and take a look at the Presidential exhibits and paintings.  Near the entrance to the theater is a large painting that features George Washington standing in the center of a group of Founding Fathers.  Look closely at the tip of the sword he is holding.

In the new update for the Matterhorn, you pass by a section where Harold the Yeti has been collecting items from the mountain. In the pile you will see camping gear, old Matterhorn Bobsleds, and one of the original Skyway buckets that used to pass through the mountain in 1956-1994. The bucket that is the original is the orange one you see sitting atop the pile
