seems like i just wrote one of these last week, but since it got so mucj traffic, and since i have more info, here we go again....

Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks

On Feb 5th and 6th, after park clear, WDW firework team will be testing BOTH new fireworks AND new locations to lunch them from. These locations will include the present one out back on the access road, and from the 8 piremeter locations they use now for special event FW, ALSO they will fire them off from the top of the Castle and the tops of PAN and Lion King Theater. Unsure what this all means, but might indicate some changes to the FITS FW.

Splash Photo

Has emeged from its rehab. Mostly small changes, the moniters are new and much bigger, the inside is redisigned slightly, including a new screened in entrance and a new window.

Riverboat REHAB

The Lib. Belle is going down for rehab from the 2nd to the 14th.

Diamond Horseshoe.

Last show Tomorrow, FEB 1st.

New Bag Check area

The MK will be installing a new permanent Bag Check structure where the existing one is now. A temp one will be put infront of each gate, like Epcot, for now. Construction has started and will last to April 10th.

Spash Mtn Pin Trading station reopened.

This outdoor cart is located between the bathrooms and the RR station. It was closed as a budget cut Sept 12th 2001. It has reopened on last tuesday and will be open during normal park hours.

Tom Sawyers Island

The main dock on TSI has reopened. The other one is now closed for rehab. No effect on normal operations, however.

College Program

This spring, the MK has welcomed the largest College Program EVER. 1200 CP's at the MK alone. Possible sign the WDW is expecting a good spring/summer.

Mickeys Philharmagic

the theater is still progressing, and the seats have been installed, however the LARGE screen and the wall to support it has not been. This confirms that MPH most likely will not be ready for the late winter/early spring, as some, including me, originally thought.

thats all i got for now........

enjoy :)
 
I think the fireworks of the castle will be pretty sweet. Does this mean that Tinkerbell wont be coming out of it anymore. I think that is the best part of the fireworks.

They've been doing this a lot lately... being right behind the MK, I get to see them... I'll be sure to watch on the 5th & 6th to check these out. :)

A lot of the effects that FLcastmember described are already in use at Tokyo Disneyland. It is definitely a very encouraging sign if Disney is taking a few pages from their playbook for use in Orlando.

Of course, this may also be testing for the new show coming to the Disneyland Resort, since they can not get away with hardly anything anymore when it comes to late-night pyrotechnics.

I went to the MK on Friday and I have never seen so many CM's "Earning their ears" (A red tag worn by new CMs in training) in my life before. Speaking of programs, I heard that 300 folks from South America have come to work in the Intl' Program...and that's JUST for MGM.

A bigger College Program?? YAYE! Maybe I'll have to go to the meeting being held Feb. 11th, on campus. :D

I will get the CP position... oh, yes, I will! *evil laugh*

Thank you for the update. I love reading what you have to say. It makes all us non "in the loop" people feel somewhat an insider. Thanks again!! Have a wonderful day.

Any idea what "celebration" will be coming after the 100 years is over? (when is the last day? they keep changing it) Mickey's 75th?

Do you know if they are they doing anything special on the last day of the 100 years? :confused: :wave:
