Heap Big Update (HM, Parade, Monsters, Etc)

[brkgnews]

As usual, most of this has already been covered in previous updates because I took so
blasted long to get the pics up. But here you go, anyway...

Are these the windows for the new royal bedchamber?

Closup of the windows shows parts of the Cinderella story, including Door Mice...

Be home by midnight...

A royal invitation...

And happily ever after...

The Carolwood Pacific is well represented underneath MK's Christmas Tree...

Haunted Mansion Fastpass machines are gone-gone...

More to come...

 

[brkgnews]

Monsters Inc Sign is up (we got into one of the focus groups - no pictures since there were a bazillion Imagineers in the four or five rows behind me, but the place looks just like the concept art)...

Monsters Inc Wait Sign...

Monsters Inc Exit Doors (preview guests entered here)...

Camera jib crane shooting video for the Christmas parade...

Closeup of the crane...

Regis and Kelly's hangout in Town Square...

More to Come...

Lots of little princesses on the castle forecourt stage...

The crowd wranglers showing the audience how to react when the princesses show up...

Crowd wrangler with Bianca Ryan (America's Got Talent)...

She sang a medley of princess tunes while each prince and princess came out, followed by Emmitt Smith (not pictured) who danced with his daughters...

This shot was worth basically lying down in the hub and having people look at me funny...

Main Street Vehicles were everywhere this time. Two trolleys (with the Dapper Dans in tow!) and the old-fashioned car...

I thought this warning sticker on the Mouse Ear Embroidery machine was funny. You can't see it, but the head has X's for eyes, like any respectable dead cartoon figure.

More to Come...

Off to Epcot now... Welcome to Body Wars!

Amazingly, all the TVs in the queue still work...

Dermatopic Purification! What a neat pavilion...

Gotta do it twice to make sure you're clean!

Body Wars loading area...

Probe unloading... :lookaroun

More to Come...

 

[brkgnews]

Now that we've been resized, let's explore the rest of the pavilion...

Ohhh... Captain Buzzy and the General...

It really is a wonderful pavilion...

And such neat architecture... not unlike Spaceship Earth...

One last look... *sigh* my first and probably last visit to the pavilion...

More to Come...

Excellent update so far.
Thanks.

Hard to see in this cruddy cell phone picture, but that blue-green blur in the middle is a Siemens logo that now shows up on the fountain barges after IllumiNations...

A pretty sunset over World Showcase Lagoon...

The Lights of Winter are gorgeous on the walkway from the Odyssey...

That's all, folks!

 

[Skippy]

Good to see more of Body Wars and WoL.
The picture of Walt looks good also.
Very Nice. Thanks.

 

[DisneyRoxMySox]

Great update!! Thanks!
Siemen's really seems to be taking over EPCOT..
Glad to see WoL still in pretty good condition.
That picture of Walt is really neat, I like it a lot!!

 

[lpet11984]

Always appreciate seeing pictures- thanks! (I <3 the one with Walt :xmas: )

 

[Cynderella]

Great pictures! I too was able to go to WOL and took many pictures. It was very exciting! The picture of Walt holding the star is awesome......and that's where i got engaged!! haha sorry...i've been throwing that in everywhere

Oh and by the way.....I think the girl's name from America's got Talent is Bianca Ryan....not Trista - not trying to be picky tho! :wave:

 

[lcsrig]

Thanks so much for the pics. I love that sunset. I'm making it my new background!

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Thanks for the update! I wonder what will be done with the building where HM's fastpass used to be? mabey a store? or queue space?:hammer:

 

[Enderikari]

Are these the windows for the new royal bedchamber?

Wow, that looks awesome... well done with the pictures, much better than the old solid blue windows that were there

 

[brkgnews]

Oh and by the way.....I think the girl's name from America's got Talent is Bianca Ryan....not Trista - not trying to be picky tho! :wave:

D'oh! You're right. That's what I get for trying to remember. :hammer:

 

[brkgnews]

Just finished analyzing one more castle window... looks like a glass slipper...

 

[dreamscometrue]

Thanks for the update...always appreciate photos.

 

[Vernonpush]

Thanks for the pictures. That photo of Walt and the star is incredible!

 

[natalia1681]

Those are great pics! I especially love the one with Walt and the Christmas tree

 

[Epcot82Guy]

Thanks for the update. I do miss Epcot around these times.

I also love that you got the purification system on Body Wars. When I was a kid and rode that the first time, my dad had me convinced they were real. It freaked me out that they were burning a layer of skin off me so I could ride a ride. :lol:
