I thought hands-up was frowned upon by the company?

I like the dude that isn't holding on...he's having the best time.

In the first picture the dude on the right in grey is wearing a "save Splash" T shirt? The stones on that guy......

I’m sure it’s coincidental, but apparently “it’s a small world” is getting a new doll today.

Have yet to see any posts about this so I thought I'd share some pics from last night. They were testing a new lighting package on the side of Tomorrowland Light and Power Co! The colors were changing somewhat infrequently, but they also tested a darker blue and a neon green in place of the orange half.

Apologies for my low-quality phone camera!

In that last pic, it seems to mirror Space Mtn. Was it doing that the whole time?

Not from what I could tell. Space's lighting has a sort of rolling color effect, whereas this was just abruptly changing the left half's color every now and again. Could be possible the lights will eventually be synced up with Space or Tron, maybe even both simultaneously.

Lots of activity happening in Tron area this morning. Maybe CMs, journalists, media, etc.?

Any more info on if this ride will accommodate “fluffy” folk? This picture looks like a ride vehicle that’s oversized.

More info than what? The alternate seating has been known for awhile and exists in Shanghai.

Anyone else think they should double down on the retro-futuristic theming instead of moving towards amorphous white lines? I was contemplating the opening of Tron and the closing of splash and lamenting the loss the whimsical nature of parts of the park.

Financially, it could make sense because they would never have to “keep up” with whatever technological progress we make. I for one like the solar palm trees.

Early previews specifically for MK cast are scheduled for the weekend of Feb 3rd-5th. I'll be riding on the 3rd!

I’ve always thought the original Tron soundtrack is terrific, and under appreciated.

 

[999th Happy Haunt]

Appreciating how Tron is the first addition to MK in a while that isn’t princess related. Will go a long ways to get MK away from the “kiddie park” reputation it has unfortunately gained over the last couple of years (decades now?).

Hoka Clifton 8 walking shoes. Some of the most comfortable shoes you’ll ever wear. Understandable if you have no idea of quality though. Keep hating
