    Avatar construction aerial updates

    It more than likely is. Looked like that about 2 weeks ago from the same spot. Also Tom, you were saying the stairwell being in the middle of the building may mean that the plan changed. It looks like there are footings for upper floors to the south of the larger show building. It's still...

    Seven Dwarf mine train needs some help.

    Where's the slow clap emoticon when you need it? I agree 100%. 25 years ago when we went people around us would all be talking in line and as a kid I'd be able to meet all kinds of other people. Now, it's impossible to start a conversation and what happens? The younger kids get so bored because...

    Seven Dwarf mine train needs some help.

    The CMs now play a recording in the queue about people who are cutting in line using the 'my parents are ahead' or 'my kids are just up ahead' routine.

    That's the part that I forgot about. The actual theaters. Thanks!

    WDW IT Layoffs 1/30/2015

    Just follow the white rabbit, we'll see how far the rabbit hole goes. Disney will miss having these people once the current generation of iPads/iTouch devices fall out of support from Apple. So in another 2 years. Which is long enough that the remaining staff will forget how it was done and...

    Avatar construction aerial updates

    What I'm interested in the second picture is the separate rectangle within the larger show room building. I'm guessing that's where the load/unload will take place. Although I'm fairly certain the pour to the north of the rides is for the waterfall as others have stated, if there will be an...

    Disney Finally Squashes Illegal Kiddie Gambling

    When we were there last week, I didn't see any games within the arcade at the area you come out of the walkway. Perhaps they were further back? 4 more days at most for the other arcades. 2/15 is the day they close.

    Watch those little fingers on the safari ride

    Since we spent the remainder of the day at urgent care ( all but 2hrs ) we asked at concierge and they were nice enough to give us an extra day at the parks. Class act.

    Watch those little fingers on the safari ride

    While gathering our backpack at the end of the safari ride our 2yr old had enough time to put his hand on the retractable door. SLAM, doors are opening. Too late, down to 9 finger nails. Let that be a lesson to us I guess. :cry:

    New nighttime show 'Rivers of Light' confirmed to be coming to Disney's Animal Kingdom

    You can see quite a bit of the construction from the bridge between dinoland and discovery island. Looks like the viewing area has plastic pipes in place between the viewing sections. Either for lighting or to protect/encase concrete since its a damp location?

    AVATAR land construction progress

    For the floating mountains, they may also utilize a concrete tilt up or concrete with embedded steel construction method. In those cases, the rock work might bolt together in a relatively quick fashion. I can't see cast in place used for this size and detail.

    AVATAR land construction progress

    There are also areas between the rainforest cafe and the park where you can see directly in to the construction parking lot. I didn't go closer because I didn't want to disturb vegetation to get a good picture. Separately, they sure are working on rivers of light during the daytime. Kinda loud...

    Does the pop century still have the prize counter in its arcade?

    I'm at pop century right now and the redemption desk is still there. Talked with the attendant and they were told they're out by the 15th of February, but it could occur before then. All 6 arcades will be cleared by then. So it's a craps shoot till then.

    Magic Bands Not As Secure As Advertised!

    I think the ability to review your bill on the go should be a feature added to the 'My Disney Experience' app. Then again, if checking your balance is easy enough, perhaps people won't be letting go of their money as easily.

    Main Street U.S.A. hub redevelopment at the Magic Kingdom

    The paths have to be right sized for the situation. No reason to build a 6 lane highway when a gravel road will do.

    Accident in Animal Kingdom parking lot on 1-21-15??

    It's okay. It probably was just a 2319.
