    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    Just a note about MK's first riverboat, The Admiral Joe Fowler. It didn't rot or suffer from lack of maintenance. In fact is was maintenance that killed the ship. While it was being lifted from Bay Lake in the boat maintenance area, it was dropped and the hull was severely damaged....to the...

    Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It! Street Party to be updated later this year

    MISICI is obviously in the middle of its transition, as Genie and Sebastion are the only character floats being used (besides the "DJ"). It's a pretty sparse production right now. They also didn't do the character reveal in the Hub. They were already atop the floats when they came down Main St.

    PHOTOS - Castle Dreamlight installation underway at the Magic Kingdom

    The open walkway on the east side of the castle. Interestingly, there are still two front turrets without the light netting on them. Either they're not covering them, or aren't using the crane to put them up.

    Astro Orbiter refurbishment dates set for summer 2014

    AO testing, but stuck in place now. Here's a shot of the new color scheme for the rockets.

    The Spirited Seventh Heaven ...

    It was actually TWO snacks per day....we had so many on our last night (of 8 nights-5 of us), that I bought popcorn for my daughter, myself, and 19 people in line behind us. So much food we vowed we'd never do it again, and we haven't. Of course the menus have been dumbed down considerably...

    EPCOT Entertainment cuts

    So....I wonder how much this announcement screwed up Martin's videography schedule for his next visit.

    Accident on Pirates

    The two flumes were adjacent to each other....there wasn't a large "island" between the flumes. Loading took place on opposite sides, with double rows of boats coming out of the tunnel upstream. Of the two attraction queues, it was the queue on the left that now gets distributed into rows...

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

    This is from last year...could be the same tree, but pruned a bit. Either way, a tree for a tree.

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

    It looks like it's the same tree (a magnolia)....just in a slightly new spot. While there's a much bigger ramp on the corner, at least they didn't remove the curb on the east side of TS.

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    And a quick PS...the Disney Parks Blog was at 57 comments, and pretty much every single one BEGS Disney to leave the water feature. Heck, if it's in bad shape, rip it out BUT rebuild as is. The magic of the Poly lobby is that when you walk through the front doors, it feels as if you've stepped...

    PHOTOS - Disney reveals new lobby design and Trader Sam's lounge for the Polynesian

    Polynesian Village Resort...two thumbs up. Trader Sam's....another two thumbs up. Water Feature removal....just plain wrong. Now that I've stated my feelings on those three issues, the elephant in the room (IMO), is 'Ohana. To me, 'Ohana destroys the laid back atmosphere that the Poly should...

    Carousel of Progress audio issues

    The audio has been like this for a few years...and yes, the further back you sit, the worse it is.

    Walt Disney Imagineering move Scott Trowbridge to a new dedicated Star Wars Studio at WDI

    What's on the agenda for May 1st, DHS's (Disney-MGM's) 25th...are there any ceremonies commemorating the anniversary (like MK's)? If so, that would be a great time to celebrate the milestone as well as promoting future growth.

    Spirited Spring Break News, Observations & Thoughts ...

    Brady Bunch in Hawaii was actually a three episode arc...but yes, why just 23 minutes of Australia?
