March is a colorful time of year at Epcot! Mickey greets you at the main entrance.

All Ears Leader Deb Wills told me of a Hidden Mickey in the Haiti exhibit. “Haiti: Garden of Many Colors” is a new garden exhibit next to the Germany Pavilion in World Showcase. At the rear of the Haiti area is a painting of a large van.

However, he somehow lost his Hidden Mickey wing nut. Mater usually has a wing nut with ears on top of his engine air cleaner (shown below on a previous Mater at California Adventure).

Whenever I’m in Epcot’s Japan, I pay my respects to some of my favorite rocks anywhere on Disney property.

I caught a performance of “Off Kilter” in the Canada Pavilion. They played two of my favorite Off Kilter songs: “Dirty Old Town” and “Amazing Grace.” (The latter song is the #1 most requested bagpipes song, as I’m sure any bagpipes musician will tell you).

Along the Imagination Walkway, the sand sculptors were busy, but they’ll still answer your questions!

This amazing sand sculpture highlights the “Disneynature Chimpanzee” film that will help celebrate Earth Day 2012.

Check out these Mickey bushes in the kids’ area “Let’s Get Moving,” located along the Imagination Walkway.
