So we started at Epcot.
SSE was great as usual (already received the link to our video by the time we got home). Wall still up around fountain of nations.

Magic Kingdom = TONS of construction.

But First...no more holiday paperware...BUT...Year of a Million Dreams popcorn buckets and drink cups...whats up with that? New Celebrate napkins, plates, etc look good.

Doesn't this place ever slow down? 90 minutes SM, 40 POTC, etc.

Wall up by the monorail exit/entrance, just looks like updating flowers or removing decoration structures??

Galaxy Theater is nice and totally torn up...get a great view after the first turn on the TTA (sorry, no pics, it was too far in the dark).

Spot between Galatic Goodies and Star Traders walled off and being work on.

Stitch Stage walls now go all the way to the TTA by the Launching Pad.

We all know the Outpost is open.

Also know that Splash Mountain is running great.

Pecos Bill was closed and directing over to El Pirata (don't usually go there...not a big selection).

Saw this on Stitch Fastpass...interesting

Philharmagic down for usual refurbishment.

Before Wishes, saw a lights and a camera crew. Took a few pics. Have no idea who these kids are. Sounded like they were speaking spanish.

Next, over to Downtown Disney.
Makes me sad everytime I go over to Pleasure Island. I still see folks all dressed-up waiting to go into clubs...and then very disappointed when they find out its all closed. I saw at least 3 separate couples asking security what happened to all the clubs. Booooo.

Lego play area walled up. Store still open, but no playing with legos.

Balloon/comedy guy in front of Adventurer's Club. Pretty entertaining (see what we have been reduced to enjoying at PI).

So thats about it. :)

The Birthday fastpass is interesting. I just found out my wife has a conference in Orlando in March and we will be there for my Birthday. I did some research on the free Birthday ticket and found some interesting things out. There are a few other options available if you already have tickets and do not get the free MYW ticket.
1. You can pay extra to upgrade it to a Hopper ticket.
2. You can get a gift card for the equal value of a 1 day MYW ticket. The only thing is the gift card is very limited as to what can be bought with it ( No food,photos etc....)
3. But the one thing I found most interesting was the Birthday fastpass. It seems that each day a limited number of Birthday fastpasses are available and they are good for the Birthday member and up to 5 others in there party. I do not know yet if they are unlimited number of Fastpasses for the day or how it works but we will have limited time on our trip and I am thinking of taking advantage of the fastpass.
Just thought I would share the info.

This area looks interesting - almost looks to be the same size and shape as the "Transporter pod" in SGE. Makes me wonder....

:ROFLOL: Yeah...I know. I was kind of being sarcastic. I was referring more to the all the show elements working. Everytime we go down the descent, my head is always turned backwards hoping for something new (my wife gets a little upset since I miss half the video ;) ).

:eek:

Good eye! You're right, it does appear to be around the same size!

Perhaps it's where guests can jump to their doom when they see more Stitch in Tomorrowland...
