I'm now hearing that the logs have just been repainted and have been given added padding.

as stated above, they aren't. They have just been repainted and given extra padding.

Which means that the new boat in CS will stay there. (And it was so pretty, too!)

Amazing shots!!!! The lighting looks 300 times better too. Are we certain the lap bar rumor has been put to rest?

Lapbars will eventually be implemented. But as far as I've been told it will not happen until next year's refurbishment.

The lighting is quite impressive in person; it seems as though not every scene was redone, perhaps that's just my imagination, but a few really do pop. It sounds as though the audio was tweaked up, too---things seem much crisper, and a bit louder. Again, could just be my fanboi imagination at work.

Shakespeare.Well, that was a lot of "sound and fury, signifying nothing" over the lap bars, now wasn't it? Oh well.....
FTW, good Sir.Some pics...I think the lighting effects are new...

Look at the refurbishment schedule over in Tokyo. I don't think they ever have a time when all major attractions are open. If you pay attention to the parks on a regular basis, and continue to make big ticket additions, you can afford to have necessary downtime for your major attractions. Tokyo Disneyland is a prime example of this.

Even so, I'd say there's 8 attractions that should be down a month out of every year:
Splash
Mansion
Pirates
Jungle
Small World
Pan
Space
Buzz
If I was getting greedy, I'd throw Big Thunder in as well. But they could easily close 1 or 2 on the "offseason" months and have all of them open during the busy time.
