Thy Random DAK/DTD October 11th Update!

[EPCOTPluto]

Welcome once again to another update of mine! This time, I will sporadically post the updates & pics. So!

Entering Animal Kingdom, the parking prices have increase. :animwink::lol:

 

[EPCOTPluto]

The Princess & Frog banner seen in EPCOT is also displayed at the entrance as well.

That 'special movie offer' sounds interesting.... :lookaroun

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Wait, so Goofy & Pluto have taken over Chester & Hester's gasoline alley for Souvenir Pics? Interesting. :lookaroun

I actually like it. No, I don't think it'll affect the Character Greeting Trails at CM-M.

Price Fail Time!

The prices of most of the ice cream have increased by 50 cents!

Looks like I won't be buying many Mickey's Premiums anymore...

Plus, this is rather unusual:

If it you mean that the BR and regular DVD coming together is unsual that is how all new releases will. be. We have been preordering Snow White like this.

They seem to close the more spacious back room of Pizzafari nowadays. :shrug:

Eh, probably just due to the slower season.

The new M&G looks really nice.

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Merchandising here and there:

This is rather new. I happen to like it.

I have seen a nice increase in Toy Story products. I am thinking that it's the current double feature, but it can predispose to TS3.

Plenty of these still available!

I noticed my last trip a few restaurants had areas blocked off.

Is everything looking good in DAK? Any rides down?

Actually, everything does look great in DAK. The wait times for yesterday, in fact:

Everest: 35-50min (The Yeti was in B Mode, one train would unload & then load, rather than one train loading & one unloading)
Safari: 20-35min (Didn't see that many animals yesterday, but it was 4:30pm)
Kali: 20-45min (There were many people from Make-A-Wish there. I rarely see it. )
Primeval Whirl: 15-25min (Seriously, THAT many people???? )
Dinosaur: 20-30min (Still my favorite DAK ride)

Whatever I observed, there weren't any rides that broke down. Though in Nemo, the person playing Squirt was not suspended & had to wave her arms at the upper right stage. Also something I had wondered, is it true that the AP preview was longer than 35 min? :shrug:

That mural looks familiar. They were painting it on the backlot tour in august: http://i36.tinypic.com/2wfvj15.jpg

Remember that Princess & Frog banner with a movie offer?

Basically, you present your valid park ticket to a certain merch location and you're given a card good for $8 towards a child's ticket when purchasing an adult ticket to see P&F.

 

[SirGoofy]

Sounds like they aren't as confident on the film...

I don't think that's the case at all. I think it's just a small perk for going to the parks.

Now at Downtown Disney!

The 10 Years of Pin Trading has begun, and it's evident.

Redesigned Villain's Room!?

The infrequently-mentioned refurb on the Villain's Room has brought pretty interesting changes. See what I mean...

This is as you enter from the Genie Room.

The old Big Fig/jewelry section where the Witch/Hag Cheshire cat effect & the Flotsam and Jetsam eels were.

Where the Ursula section was:

WOAH Ursula, Hook, and Makeficent look so awesome in that glass. Great pics! Plus, I didn't even know we had a Genie room!

 

[EPCOTPluto]

Redesigned Villain's Room!?

The pin section has been moved out to where Guest Relations was originally located. :lookaroun

Where the pins used to be:

In one corner of the new area:

And a (almost) whole view of the store. More spacious indeed.

And that just about covers up everything I would like to report! Thank you for reading & viewing. Until then.... :wave:

Thanks for the report.
