SSE signs, Yeti menus, trees and more

[mousermerf]

My feet hurt!

Anywho, in a few moments:

All the menus from Yak/Yeti - even the bar!
SSE signs are up, i give it a "meh" until i see it lit up.
Trees at MK and AK

Some other stuff too of course, but on the "info" side of things:

New maps at AK and MK. MK features toy soldiers on the front and the inside mentions the "newly enhanced" HM. AK has the jingle jungle parade on the front.

In SSE's queue they've installed plants and it seems to be clears of general debris which it had before. It looks very lush and tropical in there.

I peeked into Innoventions West's rehab space (Velcro, no?) and it's concrete and lots of lighting fixtures (like stage lighting) in neat little rows.

Wonders has been stripped of all signage and it's dignity. There's no stage at the Epcot tree yet. SSE's lounge was lit up. The SSE signs aren't wired yet (you can see the wires dangling).

Yak/Yeti was crawling with blue badges. I didn't take a photo, but the shop is tiny and not part of the main building. It faces the monkey enclosure. Some neat stuff if you like Tea though, lots of Yak/Yeti branded merch.

Fountain View has holiday decor - someone is showing it some love. Also, Club Cool has neat garlands and trees. Don't recall it being decorated before.

Okie, photos in a few!

Thanks, I can't wait for the pics :wave:

Oh!

I almost forgot: Horrible "shouldn't be in Epcot" Pirate-themed kiosk is gone from the west breezeway, a generic cart hocking princess crap and fleece blankies is in its place.

There are new holiday-themed maps at MGM too - I wonder if Epcot will get one as well.

And I like SSE's new signs, I think they look very nice.

Oh and FYI - Wonders isn't going anywhere for a while, so don't worry about it being "stripped of its dignity." It's simply awaiting its next assignment.

Okie, my image server seems slow, but is working, so just bear with it...

Yeti time! No more walls (I'd gotten quite used to them) and it adds tons of space to the area.

Woot, i say, woot!

The entrance.. all purpley

People who were in my way, pointing at the menu, and then who never went in..

The menu once I had it all to myself:

There's 4 counter service thingies, each with two matching menus.

Outside toward the seating, behind the shop, to the side of the main restaurant, and well, in general vicinty of Asia:

There's an outdoor bar too!

And this is part of the outdoor seating area.. or rather, this is in it.

And it appears my image server is going uber-slow. This post should have 10 photos in it. Patience is golden! More photos in a few moments.

 

[mousermerf]

Eww, gonna quickly upload a big version of the main menu. Gimme a sec. It'll be readable!

Amuse yourself with this video in the meantime *beats up image server*

It's sparkley! It's a tower of Castle toys.

 

[mousermerf]

Okie, it wont upload proper-like, so to heck with it! I'll post it later.

Anywho.. AK tree:

And some details..

Epcot! Gates...

They made me all kinds of happy.

Spaceship Earth signs:

And again..

From the side..

And the other side, note the wire..

One more time for good luck!

And here's the big picture:

Stuff besides the same two signs at Epcot in a few, i swear!

 

[mousermerf]

Ah ha! Respect my authority! *baps image server*

Christmas at Epcot:

And a close up on Donald:

And for $350 this too could be yours..

Found these too, note the wandless SSE:

This is where a horrible pirate kiosk used to be:

Empty wonders, no signs even..

And this is the MK with garland:

Facade work on the barber shop..

And the walls have moved outward on the cinema..

And this is the tree:

 

[mousermerf]

Oh that is too funny!

I just realized the Barber Shop picture-tarp has a photo of the Halloween banner flapping in the wind!

The new SSE signs are a little big and clunky but I still kinda like them.

 

[mousermerf]

Main Street x-mas decor:

And chocolate covered goodness!

And we begin a group of castle photos, if you scroll through you'll notice it twinkles/flickers/waves for you!

Last, but certainly not least, a good night-shot photo of Imagination all lit up:

 

[doop]

Yak & Yeti looks pretty cool, thanks for the pictures merf!

 

[mousermerf]

*sigh* My image server appears to be completely misbehaving The photos will be there.. eventually.. if you cant see them right now.

 

[utrythinkinof1]

I swear the MK tree is leaning. I've seen other pics of it this year and they all shown it leaning. Did you notice that Merf?

 

[haveyoumetmark]

Thanks for the pictures. I really kind of liked the old Spaceship Earth signs with the orange. The hints of orange looked so nice up against the blue, complementary colors ftw. Don't get me wrong, I love the new ones, but I just miss the orange.

That 4-park set of shot glasses (aka toothpick holders) has been around for a very long time - just so you don't think it's a new piece of merchandise.

 

[mousermerf]

Even without the evil wand?

I swear the MK tree is leaning. I've seen other pics of it this year and they all shown it leaning. Did you notice that Merf?

We were there this past weekend, and yes, it is definitely leaning. It's probably most visible from the Liberty Square walkway off the hub.

Maybe they weren't too concerned with it considering it will be moving after the parade taping?

Even without the evil wand?

Yup, always without the evil wand. Same exact design (I even bought it a long time ago because it didn't have the wand ).
