New Epcot Info Board Features Live Twitter Feed with "Interesting" Tweets

Epcot has unveiled its new information board near Pin Central. Rather than a large, digital board as it used to be it's a large computer screen (or perhaps multiple screens) which allows for much more flexibility. The only downside is you have to walk up to it to see wait times and FastPass availability (the old board was so large the info could be seen from a distance). One interesting thing ... there was some items on the Twitter feed that I wouldn't normally expect to see on a Disney info board. I can't imagine Disney doesn't monitor it, but I still found one of the tweets (which I snapped a picture of), not particularly Disney like.
