I was really bored and found a sattelite image of Epcot from www.globexplorer.com. You can definately see three dark rectangles in a stadium pattern. Those had to be the stands for Einstein. I'm amazed at how fast they cleared out of there though. The link to the picture is below.

I'm also positive this is the right parking lot because i recognize the parking lot in the corner by the woods. I'm not sure if any of the buses or tents in that area belong to FIRST but I wouldnt be surprised.

PS. I'm not entirely sure the link will work correctly. If it doesn't, goto www.globexplorer.com and open their viewer. Under landmarks, choose Epcot Center. Pan to the upper right parking lots and zoom in and you should see the rectangles.

I've seen this before, and if what you're seeing here is indeed FIRST, it's from a few years ago....besides the fact that we were much closer to the monorail track than the objects in question are, it seems like the last time I saw this same picture, it said it was taken in '96...
