Tell me about it... I've always been against the whole concept of designated smoking areas!!!

The cancer stick lovers are far worse than ever before.... so when I do walk through a Designated smoking area... I hold my breath... then I always manage to encounter about 5-10 idiots smoking 10-15 feet OUTSIDE of the DESIGNATED area.... and I look over at them and say..."thanks for being respectful!"

Smoker's should have no rights, get out, no one smokes anymore, old news...

glad I'm not the only one who notices though!


oh and HUGE Davy Jones fan... didn't know he was that fragile... I've been lucky enough to see him on most my PotC experiences.

Wow, people do still smoke, and they do have rights. You need a reality check.

This thread was not intended to be just about smoking... new update coming in a few minutes.

Updates Part 2 (25th-27th)

Another set to this update. Decided to put it in the same thread since it's only a small update.

Pictures can be found HERE.

Magic Kingdom

-Extremely busy, wait times well over an hour on major rides.

-Scanning FastPass on certain attractions.

-Shooting out FastPass for some of the slower attractions such as Carousel of Progress.

-Wii's & other game systems are inside the noodle station to play during MVMCP.

-Davey Jones is BACK! He started working today. Torches & the hats are still missing from the burning village scene.

-Seems to be some construction on Pinocchio's

-Roof tiles are being replaced on some of the Fantasyland buildings

-In my August report the curtains for PhilharMagic were not working, but they are now.

Animal Kingdom

-Primeval Whirl is now open

-Not sure if the retro AK shirts I saw are new... but never saw them in August. Took forever to find an XL! :ROFLOL:

-Only ONE sign left for McDonald's in AK. Everything else that even mentioned McDonald's is all gone.

Disney's Hollywood Studios

-Wall around American Idol is now back up.

-No Monsters Inc. float but the characters still walk around.


No EPCOT on this update. Happy thanksgiving!

Thanks for more updates. Glad the FP scanning is being used! Even more happy that Davey Jones is back. I love that effect.

Well, at least Davy Jones is back; great effect when it works. But what is goin on with the hats??? Its been months now, hasn't it? And its not like this is a down time. We're in the middle of the holiday rush! :veryconfu

Thanks for the update! :wave:

How about in Dinoland USA, are the McDonald's logos still there? Especially Dinosaur?

Does anyone have pictures of the retro animal kingdom t shirts

does the fastpass scanning mean you can't return after your 1 hour window?

Yeay for report of newsness!!

Thanks for the update and photos.

Does the FastPass scanning check the return window period (example FP window: 1 pm - 2 pm only is valid) or just the begining return time (return tim of 1 pm until park closing is valid)?

They still collect FastPasses after the 1 hour. Once they collect them a stack is handed to another cast member with the scanner.

All McDonald's logos are gone from Dinosaur, and the message about the "grant" from McDonald's. The only logo left is on the entrance gate/sign.
