NEW! The General's Epcot, Magic Kingdom Update: Small World, 20K, TK, Figment! & More

[PurpleDragon]

Well. yeah that's what I ment. Like, this guy (or girl) probably stole the costume, thinking they could make a small fortune on it. I was under the impression that CM's picked up their costume before their shift and returned it at the end of the day. It was never in their possesion, so I don't know how this person got to take home their costume. (I know if that were me, there's no way I'd sell it!)

Whats bad is that unless that person registered on ebay under a bogus name, Diney could easily get that persons info an track them down and prosecute them for theft. However for a costume that probably cost WDC $10 to make, I don't think they will throw up much of a fuss.

Grizz,
Did you go into the Grotto at all? What does the inside now look like without the lagoon?

I did not go into the grotto, DisneyGrl. I do not think it was open/operating when I was there. Plus I wanted to catch PhilharMagic. I think it's safe to say everything is still about the same.

Sew - That's not something a Cast Member is allowed to do. Usually if a costume is going into retirement, it is destroyed. That's not to say I wouldn't make a certain purchase on Ebay. . :lookaroun The Exxon logo, however, is being removed from the patch.

PurpleDragon - I do not think you'll see much of anything until a new sponsor (let's hope!) takes over the pavilion. I did, however, notice white screens (when looking at the roof from the construction wall); these might have been there already. Once I find out anything, it will be up ASAP. In short: for now, I don't know of anything new going on in there.

Nothing new on SeaCabs, jmaxwell. I wasn't able to make it in Seas, but last I heard, Disney had installed the Nemo hollograms but found a possible reopening too expensive as potential leaks have been discovered.

thanks for the reply........................ i hope that they can come up with the money and restore this fun part of the experience.

it just seems to me, that if you have a tunnel that is connected to the main building anyway, wouldnt the potential cracks (flooding if burst) endanger the whole attraction to a certain extent. i know it would be worse if you were actually in the tunnel, but millions of gallons of water sure would flood the floors of sea base alpha.

An excellent update, as always, I look forward to the next

Oh Grizzy...I love your updates. I am still amazed by the pictures of 20K. Sorry for asking, I havn't been on lately, what's up with WOL that it's closed?

 

[CenterLine]

Love your update. The pictures bring back some great memories. Thanks!

 

[TTATraveler]

Excellent Update Grizz!! :sohappy: Your updates are the next best thing to actually being at WDW.

The average crowds of 12,000-14,000 for COP you mentioned: Is that good or weak?

It's been closed only opening seasonally. The last time it was open was for the Extra magic Hours After Dark testing back in May and in April before then.

 

[WDWScottieBoy]

Grizz....EXCELLENT as always. I always look forward to your updates, and with pictures that makes it so much nicer to put a visual to everything. Thanks for sharing those.

I wish WoL would open the first week of December while I'm there. Will there be another update in a week or two as I think I remember you wanting to take 2-3 trips during December.

Great job Grizz, always liked the photo updates!!

Can't wait to see it all decorated for Christmas - have never been at this time of year.

The funny thing is that the wife can't wait to go more than me - go figure!!

Wow, what a fantastic update. Thanks so much for the details and the great photos!

Are they doing anything really drastic? I havn't been in since I was little and if they're changing it anytime soon I wanna see it again.

 

[MickeyMan101]

I'd go while you still could. Although nothing is being done immediately, usually when an attraction does what Wonders is doing now, it's close to becoming extinct.

great job with the update. I am glad to see some pics of Epcot again. *sighs*

 

[prberk]

Great update, as usual!!

Did you get to ride the Carousel of Progress, or the Hall of Presidents? If so, anything to say about their upkeep or audience attendance/reaction?

That sounds pretty darn good, considering the most popular attraction on property - SE - averages around 18,000/day.

Prberk - I did not get to see HoP this time around. I did, however, see it in the morning about a month ago. Guest reaction was positive - clapping, but nothing really unusual.

We had an evening show of CoP, so it was about a 30 person audience (during the parades, constant loading), and there was laughing, singing, and clapping at the end.
