Greetings all from the Geek Labs
I took in the Annual Passholder preview of Mickey's Philharmagic this past Saturday. I sat through 5 showings and I am currently writing up my final review of it.
Some updates around the parks. I took some shots of the Swiss Family rehab. It looks like allot of work is being done to the wood and also allot of welding being done.
Thunder Mountain rehab continues as normal I didn’t see to many changes to it.
I did notice Monorail Gold appeared to have some sort of issue. The Monorail assistance vehicle was on the rail and pushed it back behind the Magic Kingdom. I tried to get photos but missed it.
On the way to TTC I saw roof work being done on the Grand Floridian. Is it me or do these roofs always seem to be getting redone?
Epcot was busy with the pin event. I spoke with some friends at Mission: SPACE and they said that HP is quiet happy with the response to the attraction that they are actually helping with advertisement. They will be paying the full price for the next commercial to be made. With the October press event coming up look for Emmy Winner and Orlando native Wayne Brady to be at Epcot doing some show tapings and press event appearances.
Side note on Mission: SPACE a NEW Limited Edition pin was shown off at the pin event. It will be available October 9th I believe the edition size is 1500 I did not hear what the price would be. I would imagine $10.50
There is a new change coming to Disney merchandise. The current yellow rain slickers are being phased out. The reason security. They have had issues in the past with children becoming separated from their parents and the child would tell security what their parents where wearing and of course with the current yellow rain slickers you cant see the clothes underneath them. They are moving to a new clear coat style rain slicker. It will still have the familiar Mickey sticker on the back just a different color. The new slickers are currently being sold at all parks.
All photos have been sent to Steve already and I am on page 3 of my Philharmagic review. I will be add it to the main thread and also to the review board as soon as I am done.
