Epcot Update: Starbucks Is Coming (PART 1)

Good afternoon Orlando Theme Park News Readers, and thank you for being with us (at least virtually). Today, we will take a look around Epcot to check out all the (small) projects taking place in the park. It has been a while since we last visited the park (there's a lot more going on in other parks, sadly), so let's start:

The Melody Gardens:

The Imagination! pavilion is undoubtedly very photogenic:
