HEY ALL! Here's an update from the Magic Kingdom, with some pictures!

In no imperticular order:

-Cinderellabration did close, here's just a few of the many pictures I took of the 4:35 show.

-The crane is in place, and the mirror is the only removal left to be done!

-The art corner on Center Street is under refirbishment at this time, the windows of the stores that normally look into it have been blocked out, and a photo of the corner is on the scafolling equipment to make it appear like nothing is happening.
<a href="http://img148.imageshack.us/my.php?image=1003919nv4.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/2991/1003919nv4.th.jpg" border="0" /></a>

-The restrooms around Peter Pan's Flight still have scafolling up, and now a photo of that building's exterior.

-New cargo nets have appeared on every row of Big Thunder Mountain and the Barnstormer, one per row, and holds 2 pairs of glasses and a hat, or a small bag. (the size of Space Mountain's Cargo Nets)

-Although the steamboat has returned, the cabin remains lifeless, with no fire.

-Both the Country Bear Jamboree and the Enchanted Tiki Rooms have gotton new signs indicating when the next show is. Neither were operational, but both were in place.
Country Bears:

-Philharmagic was using Fastpass. :(

-Only 4 trains were running on Thunder Mt. all day, maybe because of the new cargo net installition, there were no trains in the holding areas.

-No splash effects on Splash Mountian all day.

-Hoppin brer Rabbit wasn't only not working, he didn't even appear to be there, the 2nd layer of bushes was removed, and looked like an empty pit, not like it normally does, even when he's not working

-The hidden mickey in the possums claws was not on.

-Everything else worked great on Splash.

-CoP was great!

-The lighting fixture that projects "Philharmagic" onto the wall of the lobby was missing, so all that was there was "presented by Kodak"

-the 7 Dwarfs in Spectro now have brighter LED costumes. Looks great!

That's about it, post and discuss, and please ask questions!

Until next time!

Great update! I'm glad theyre gonna fix Splash Mountain in January--really seems like it needs it.

Its good that they put cargo holders in BTM because my mom was getting tired of holding my stuff, my dads stuff, and my sisters stuff while we went on. My dad lost a hat on that right in 93 or 95..it was pretty funny.

Thanks for the update. I saw all that stuff Friday night but didn't think about it. The beauty of Imagineering, making construction transparent to the guests.

I like the new wait time clock for CBJ. It didn't make much sense for a huge digital readout to be present in Frontierland. This looks great in keeping with the theming.

With Alamo sponsoring the TTA, are we going to finally see some TLC for the TTA?? It certainly can use a fresh coat of paint and repair of broken track pieces, among other things.

Thanks for the update!

thanks for the update, it is very interesting to see how fast disney can put things and take things down. Literally within days, look forward to the next update.

I believe they are slightly behind schedule on the decoration removal, I thought it ended the 12th. Anyhow, the mirror should come down soon, and painting is sceduled to start on the 19th.

I've heard a few rumors around the net on a possible 2 week rehab. for the TTA. The sound system definetly needs some of the T.L.C.

Thanks for the responces, keep em' coming!

Isn't the digital readout still there, just not on? :veryconfu Either way, I agree though, it doesn't fit with the theming.
