My, there have been alot of Updates on the boards lately. Another one can't hurt. I have another small update for you guys today. Today, I was at Magic Kingdom (where I met up with Chris from the boards. Hey gets a major shout out, because alot of the stuff in todays update I would not even of noticed if he hadn't seen it.), Epcot, and I'll also have a merchandise update.
So lets start at MK.
~I went to The Magic Kingdom for one reason. To see if what was posted in JeffH's Finally Ariel at a meet and greet!!! and other vacation tid-bits thread from awhile back was true. Here is what was posted:
Other vacation tid-bits...
MICKEY'S PHILHARMAGIC has been updated with additional footage.
Saturday morning when we saw MP I was noticing new stuff, and by the end I was convinced of it. I also noticed that the "copy" was very clean...not and "old film". I asked around and got definite confirmation of the changes from a manager type.
The changes I noticed were an additional Donald and Peter Pan flying sequence. More Donald in the Lion King sequence. And the scene that convinced me...At the end Donald is floating/spinning around off to the left as Mickey is getting all the instruments back into place, falls to the ground, scampers over to where the wand falls and hands it to Mickey who then now says a line in the show "Thank You". I missed how, now, Donald gets stuck in the tuba, but he still does. Better than ever.
I was really caught by this, so I decided to check it out for myself. After work yesterday, I went to catch Philharmagic. Just as my luck would have it though, Philharmagic broke down just as I was in the next group to go into the theater. I went again today and was finally able to see it...
As far as I could tell, nothing had been changed. Nothing against JeffH, as he may infact have seen a different version of the film, but the version that was running today was the same one that I have seen ever since it had opened.
~The Castle sequences were still not changing.
And at Epcot, tables were finally added to The Land. It's good, because they do take attention away from the carpet.

Merchandise updates:
I bought this cool box not fully expecting what to find inside. It said Vintage Disney Acid Free Sticker, so I figured for 6$, it wont be a terrible loss if it turns out to be junk. Boy was I surprised. Inside this box:
held the best stickers ever:
Cool huh? The old WDW logo is popping up on more and more things, which leads me to wonder...
Chris also pointed one of those Disney shirts that make you wonder just what they were thinking...
And then, this caught my eye. Cool isnt it?
Other stuff:
These banners now hang up at all entrances.
And now, the first look inside the (not yet opened) new Goofy's Candy Co:
And that'll be all for today folks.
So lets start at MK.
