They don't have it because they don't want to build/staff it. Sorry, I don't buy the "there's not enough to show" argument.

Nor do I. Put it anywhere, just promote the hell out of this.

Also Buzz Lightyear is in terrible shape, the whole queue needs to be re-painted and they should have the guns on that ride that come off the ride car like they do at Disney Land, always thought it was weird.

That was actually up on the 14th of last month as well. I think it is more of a touch up to the general facade, not part of construction. They also had facades up over the back section of Cinderella Castle. To be honest I'm kind of sick of the facades. ESPECIALLY with the castle. Every time I'm there there's either a crane or facade up over some part of it. There's also almost always a facade up over some of the Main Street buildings and usually some part of Fantasyland.

Would you rather have it falling apart like Sleeping Beauty Castle over in DL in the early 2000's? It's a necessary evil. I hate it too....Dec of 06's Castle pics all have a crane.

I just don't understand why the crane work can't be done at night. It's not like they can't shine floodlights on the castle. The scaffolding isn't as obtrusive as a giant, very unmagical crane.

Very true and I never thought of that. I guess they could, but I'm sure that there's a safety issue involved.

Yeah that work has been going on for awhile.
