Oh, no, I'm sorry. I meant the 536 gate. :hammer: I'm losin it, I swear.

They look new. Color looks better, brighter, cleaner, etc.

Makes you wonder how in the world it can be that major of a project... and if any of you have driven past it lately at night with the police cars out there and the traffic... you know what I mean.

This might have been answered before but I didn't feel like reading 14 pages of discussion...Are they also removing the tacky "Where dreams come true" banners, so that the arches are returned to their original state? I would hope so but so far when I've been there it only looks like they are removing the castles which without the removal of the banners as well I think actually makes them look a bit worse.

Have you seen any of them return on the other entrances? I think several were removed from those as well.
Haven't really been through any other entrances lately, but all flags were intact on the 536 entrance today. This time, I could tell the difference--they were a good bit brighter than before.

So far, all the banners have remained installed.

As of last night, work was being done on the archway on World Drive, and all of the flags were removed. The poles for the flags, however, remained.

I really hope they aren't being replaced with "Celebrate Today!" balloons.

I believe they are simply painting the flags then putting them back up... the question, will the castles come back or will something new replace them :shrug:

I can't believe this thread went to 215 posts about a castle insignia missing from a sign near a highway. We truly are all a little mad....

Screw "Disney Parks." It's a nebulous, meaningless concept with no sense of location. Seeing a sign that says "Disney Parks" when you enter WDW is like seeing a sign that says "Europe" when you enter Germany. It's a slight to all the wonders contained in the specific place you're going to see.

WDW is a pretty nice place. Promote that. (DL too.)

Darn I was hoping that they were taking the arches back to their original state. I guess this disproves that.:(
