So I've been busy with work, but have been traveling a lot. With that comes many visits to the Disney parks and my first visit to Walt Disney Studios Burbank and WDI Glendale! :sohappy: Here's a quick update of some new things.
WDSB
- was only there for a little bit, but stopped by the shops and walked around the campus. Very cool place!
WDI
- visited Mickey's of Glendale which is possibly the greatest Disney store ever. The variety of cool things was just amazing.
- the store just opened in a new location
- wasn't able to setup any meetings with Imagineers this time, so no new info - sorry
DL
- celebrating their 55th anniversary, lots of retro merchandise
Epcot
- Flower and Garden festival is in full swing. The whole festival seems to be a "lite" version compared to previous years. There have been many little exhibits all through FW, but not this year and the concerts are only held on the weekends. I did, however, like the look and feel of the entrance way.
-Imagination's out of place ladder at the last scene has returned. Some multicolor lights in the last scene now have movement.
-nano exhibit open in Innoventions near test the limits
MK
- Castle facade is barely noticeable; all of the rest around the park, quite noticeable
- Noodle Station has been open daily
- Splash Mountain refurb was amazing! New paint, brighter colors, and new stairs on lift hills. The most noticeable thing was the new lighting. Some scenes are now extremely bright, like Brer Bear caught in the trap.
DAK and DHS
- nothing new to report
