The Camera Center will return early next year; however, there's no need to worry about assistance with your PhotoPass questions! Our Cast Members are always eager to assist to help find solutions for all sorts of needs!
- Fountain View featuring Starbucks will relocate to a temporary location in late Fall.

TRICIA JONES: I heard that you were going to propose to Brandi Svenning at some theme park. When are men going to learn that women want ROMANCE, not Mr. Toad's Wild Ride...
BRODIE: Hey, now, be fair. EVERYONE wants Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

I know! Love that little area.
Also, I will miss the Fountain of Nations. I would love to see a fountain like this, somewhere, still at Epcot.

Probably my favorite store after Main Street at MK, and tied with World of Disney.

The drink fountains maybe, but it will not be "Club Cool" anymore.

On one of our first trips (maybe 2001?) I remember my brother passing me a small cup of Beverly and telling me to try it. On our visit next year my wife is coming to WDW for the first time, I'd been hoping to get her to try the Beverly so hoping Club Cool reappears somewhere in Epcot!
