oop my captions weren't attached, the first image is the 20th anniversary logo drone and the second image is duffy and friends drones
The scale is just massive. Duffy and friends are very detailed. The castle looks so tiny compared. My guess is the drone count here could be well over 1000.

Hasn't it reopened recently? Or at least in the last year from an extended closure?

Yes, I just meant a tally in its total operational years. Off the top of my head it has closed for years for Autotopia, then the three land expansion, then Iron Man, then the pandemic + Arrendelle.

Not sure if it closed for Small World, but probably. Poor planning.

It’s been open since arendelle opened but I’m assuming if it’s closing again it’s probably for marvel as Pixar doesn’t have any cross track area like his you can access arendelle from fantasyland

I didn’t manage to get a photo but from the parachute there appears to already be real movement with the Pixar area

Not enough to really determine what’s going on (like sub land with a plaza or just a building etc) but there is definitely a lot of movement

It’s still incredibly difficult to see the marvel expansion pad from any vantage point inside or outside the park (I considered doing a hike to a local peak that has sweeping views of the resort but I didn’t have enough time) so nothing to report there

Cast members seem to have been told there is plans to change the small esplanade store into something more permanent but details are hazy

Try hiking at Chok Ko Wan Tsui, I've been told there are really good views of the park from there.

I was in Shanghai Disney for the first time yesterday and was surprised to see a massive crane in view behind the castle, where the roller coaster would go. This was surprising since they only announced not too long ago that they just broke ground.

On a side note, I was also in Tokyo Disney a week ago and there is a lot of work going on in the backstage of Adventureland, next to the lockers of the front entrance. They were digging what looked like a sub-level.

It’s mostly because Shanghai doesn’t really care about show so they can move things like big cranes in a lot faster than HK

main street projectors are on the roofs! (ppl speculated it to be in the windows, but they just went with the original decision..)
