have been on the grass with them, but it&#8217;s an area that&#8217;s off limit to guests.\u00a0 Here&#8217;s a Google Map photo showing where the original was taken:<\/p>\n<p><a

Spaceship Earth under construction at Epcot.\u00a0 There are quite a few construction photos of Spaceship Earth but many are from higher then ground level, likely from a crane or helicopter, so when I found this photo I was really looking forward to trying it:<\/p>\n<p><a

nice clear photo, but it wasn&#8217;t meant to be.\u00a0 The concrete beams you see going across, right behind the small crane, is the monorail track being built.\u00a0 That&#8217;s a great point of reference to aim the photo, as well as the two legs on our side of Spaceship Earth, but when I found where this was taken it turned out to be in a cast-member only area:<\/p>\n<p><a

wall in the bottom-left of the old photo looks to be the same wall shown on Google Maps above the blue umbrellas.\u00a0 A break area for cast-members maybe?\u00a0 Unfortunately without getting into that area I wasn&#8217;t able to shoot this one either.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s disappointing when I can&#8217;t take a present day photo, but this just means I&#8217;ll need to find some more Disney construction photos and go back again!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related Posts:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a
