I saw 'Mr. Crane' today over the wall by Big Thunder Mountain!
I kid you not...there is a white crane visable with playful black lettering on its upper tip that says Mr. Crane.

Must be Disney's answer to 'Bob The Builder'.
That, or the next phase of the 'Cars' franchise....
:hilarious:

I snapped a pic....I though it was funny to see.
Will be a few days before I can share.

Yes, they can be a negative depending on how far one allows it to take over your life or effect your behavior.

Not to get too far off topic, but being the Parks these last few days it is clear most people are not really appreciating the surroundings.
Their eyes and attention are completely glued to that tiny LCD screen in their hand.
A shame, really. They are missing out of half of the reason they paid admission in my opinion but to each their own.

I have never felt compelled or the need to own one.
What is incredibly ironic is I just spent some time with someone I deeply respect, and when he found out I don't have a cell phone he was amazed I could function in today's world without one.
He then told me I should get one!
:eek:

But getting back on topic now.....

I will be back in the Park later this afternoon with my camera doing a quick round of photos.
I will take a few shots for everyone from what it looks like inside the Park.
Will probably be a few days before I can share them here however, but hopefully they will still be of interest as they will be examples of what Guests are seeing from above the wall.

Spent some time over by Big Thunder Mountain again the other day, sitting on a bench taking a break over near the exit of the Attraction.
It is a great spot to sit to hear people's reaction to what they are seeing poking out from above the wall since there is plainly visable and very vertical construction now.
Some of the reactions I have heard include these -

The kids will point and gush about how that is 'Star Wars Land' to their parents.
The adults kind of look over and are, like, 'what the heck is that big mess over there?'
And then their are the other folks who stride over at a pace expecting to be able to cut through to Fantasyland via the pre-existing Big Thunder Trail and are hit in the face with a wall.
A few seemed to have no idea what was going on over there which kind of surprised me considering all the press the area has received.
I even heard a couple lamenting the loss of the goats.

Good times.
:D

I just read about the Big Thunder Trail being closed- I couldn't confirm it...glad I found it here before I tried it next week when i'm in the park. Thanks!

And I love all the updates! I'm so excited to see it next week in person!

Honestly haven't been attention too closely to progress lately, but construction seems to have ramped up in the past month! At least what we can see, anyways. Excited to finally see the construction in 7 months, I'm sure it's gonna blow my mind how much progress they'll have made from now until then.

I'm back home now after a week long visit, and i was able to spend some time today finally uploading some of the pictures i snapped while visiting the Park earlier this week.
Nothing too mind blowing, but perhaps still of interest.
Also have a pair of humorous ones i took...

First, the straightforward 'construction shots' from inside the Park -

The view in the Park by the Trail wall as of September 12th -





A peek between the cracks of the construction wall over by the pathway near 'Splash Mountain' showing work on the new bend for the Rivers of America, taken on the same day -





Now for the fun photos......had a good laugh over both of these when i saw them in the Park.

First, i spotted 'Mr. Crane' over by the ol' Big Thunder Trail !
Disney's answer to 'Bob The Builder', or the latest 'Cars' franchise spin off..?
You decide.
;)





And finally, just wanted to show everyone that those crazy fans are already lining up to experience the new Attractions coming to the 'Star Wars' themed area.
Yep...check it out -
Photographic proof right here!




:D
