Epcot - Spaceship Earth

Here's what it looked like in the era between the wand and the sparkly lights.


Going to the Ball

 

Just a handheld snap walking out of the park after dinner - wanted to get a quick shot of the new sparkly light job:

 

Curse those Phoenicians! We have to write with these silly pictures until they invent an alphabet.


Planning Ahead

 

Behold, the first two Bulwer-Lytton fans!


"It was a dark and stormy night..."

"And The Doctor Said..."

And here's what Epcot looked like in October 2018:

And yet another photo of the same thing.
