    The new quick service dining location will be on the opposite side of the Harambe Theater or to your right when entering Africa. This should complete the expansion of Africa and greatly relieve congestion in Harambe.

    3. A preview for Disney Pixar Inside Out will be playing at Epcot later this month

    Captain EO
