Just got back from a week long vacation at WDW. WOW, the crowds (especially all those LSU and Iowa fans) made it crazy throughout the parks! Anyway here is some tidbits that I found during the trip (may know about it already, but I'm not reading through 7 days worth of threads 
)
- As of January 3, Carousel of Progress is to remain open throughout the week (asked 2 cast members). They did not know of anything about the ride closing other than they were operating the ride for this week.
- Timekeeper ended its holiday run today as it is now closed. I asked about whether or not it's done for good, but no confirmation.
- Astro Orbiter was closed last week and displayed a rehab sign at the entrance. Sites like Mouseplanet reported it was to be rehabed late in the month
- I noticed one of the monorail's brakes sounded REALLY bad on the 4 times we rode it last week (Monorail Pink). Today (Jan. 3) I saw fewer monorails out on the MK line, so maybe they are working on some of them?
- The new ticket system was in full swing on Sunday. The lines were slightly longer, but the flow was steady. After looking at it, I'm not a big fan of it.
- Wonders of Life was open until Dec. 31. I asked a CM in Cranium Command about the pavilion and he reiterated what was said on other sites about a POSSIBLE opening in February due to the Land closure (which also remained open until Jan 1).
This is all I can remember for now. Figured you guys would continue to be updated with this stuff. Bye for now. I'll do a trip report later in the week.
