Disney fixing things- but not trying to change things is a huge win.
WDI should keep their hands off the classics. Ops should focus on maintaining everything better.

Thanks for this! I think what I noticed as "new" was just a result of David's camera settings making some things appear brighter than I remembered.
So glad the tunnel lights are back. Everything looks great! Yay!

Main Street Station just went under construction walls, and fall protection installed on the roof (I don't have photos, sorry, you'll have to take my word for it). Scaffold and scrim to follow as a full building refurb (70th prep as always) is about to kick off

No joke, my first thought riding through that diorama for the first time after the river/train redo and reaching the first bit with the smaller dinosaurs and foliage was "man, they went a little Pandora on the color scheme in here!"

Station being worked on during downtime. Finally replacing burnt out bulbs?

Except they will only replace eight of them since supply chains only had that many available and three of them will already be burned out.

The guesses have been sometime between mid-October to mid-November.

Probably, but unknown for sure until an official announcement.

Wow! Space Mountain is in great shape. The functional lights really bolster the experience dramatically. Not sure if I was imagining this, but seemed like the soundtrack volume was cranked up way louder than usual (which was fantastic). Sat in the front row; it was a perfect experience.

While I'm sure the 70th is somewhat responsible, it really does feel for the first time in a long time that the park is getting actual refurb money sent its way and not just band-aid/can't-be-delayed-anymore quick fixes.
That said, I sure hope that everything currently down is open again by the time I get there for Christmas and that no more surprise refurbs sprout up in the meantime.

One other note (I know this was discussed 2 weeks ago, but whatever) — the lighting has indeed been tweaked in the queue, and it’s an improvement. Feels more sophisticated; less Buzz Lightyear.

Rode it last week. Great to have the lights working again but for some reason I thought they worked better on the POV I saw. The flashing looked faster, more trippy and vibrant than in person.

Just rode the monorail - the tracks between small world and Tomorrowland are currently missing in action! Haha
