Because Grizz was there last weekend as well, I have to say that I do not have much to add. But, I do have some things to point out:
-Stitch is drawing HUGE crowds, it was closed for tech. problems early sat, but re-opened around 10:30 or so, and by the end of the day just 1 chamber was working, with just 1 gun in the chamber working. I asked what the problem with the other chamber was, and was told everything was working, even BOTH guns, but the lift that brings Stitch up, would not budge from the under-stge enterance, so, Stitch would be missing. A yellow Extention cord was running out of a crack in the closed chamber to the hallway. In case you are wondering, the chamber exiting into Mickey's Star Traders was working.
-Guns have returned to Jungle Cruise, possibly for the movie
-The Jungle Cruise FastPass Machines were printing 2 FP's for every 1 ticket, so I rode twice! (surprised i could stand the jokes one more time) lol. Anyhow, both times were at night, and that is a neet experance, it gives a better feeling of adventure, I highly reccomend trying it at night.
-The Haunted Mansion was having a big back-up porblem between the stretching rooms and the load platform. Took 7 min. to get on the ride! That's too long, and they started to hold people back from the foyer until this receded.
-Country Bears are Singin' to Christmas to HUGE CROWDS!!
-The Sign and Roof have returned to the Indy Speedway.
-Finally got to see Festival of the Lion King with the new lighting design and it is AMAZING!
-EVEREST IS HUGE!
-Star Tours was running the smoothest I have ever seen it run, like a well oiled machine.
-The area next to the Mad Tea Party, on the left, if you were facing toontown, is back as a side walk and small flowerbed. You no longer have to go around Mad Tea Party to get to Toontown from Fantasyland!!
-The World's Largest House of Cards is Being built in the Rose Garden, expect it to be revealed in December.
-On Snow White the Witch did come out in the forest! That was a Much needed Rehab!!!
-All the scafloning that went from floor to roof on Small World is now gone, and the river is dug out, with the station belts that carry the boats are in place. The Entire area is white, with the exception of the control tower, which is in-place, over the river, like it always was, had 1 coat of paint on it. With so much to be done, i don't know if any of this is remaining from the old, or in from the new. It all looked New, so that is what i am guessing.
-Fort Willderness is getting a new bus stop for the front, where the EPCOT, Animal Kingdom, Typhoon Lagoon, Dowtown Disney, and Blizzard Beach Busses leave from. Right now, there is a White tent in the middle of the parking lot, serving as the stop, and work has started where the old stop was. A Construction wall is up.
-Building 5 is under an exterior rehab. at the Coronado Springs Resort, the rooms are still open.
-Blizzard Beach is closed as sceduled, From the road, i could not see much going on Rehab. Wise.
-Some Christmas stuff is up, not all.
-HUGE convention center construction is going on between the lobby and buildings 1,2&3, of the Coronado Springs Resort. The road around the resort has cones up in this area. BE CAREFUL AT NIGHT!
