Pictures: Bolt Makes an Appearance at Epcot Today
I was at Epcot this morning and was very surprised to see this guy walking around. I've never thought of him as one of the more popular characters and don't think I've seen him doing meet and greets or in any parade or show since shortly after his movie was in theaters or coming on DVD. But there he was. Is this common?
I recognize that lightning symbol Is that really Bolt meeting guests at Epcot? Yep, that's him

A little gardening magic will go a long way when an eight-foot-tall floral Sorcerer Mickey topiary holds court at the entrance to the 19th Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival March 7-May 20 at Walt Disney World Resort. Standing atop a 12-foot-tall floral mountain cliff and towering above the park’s front-entrance topiary bed, the commanding Sorcerer Mickey will direct a riot of color in the manicured shapes of dancing broomsticks, buckets, mushrooms, hippos, alligators and elephants straight from the classic Disney film, “Fantasia.”

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.
