Brandon Struve’s 8/6/09 WDW Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Brandon Struve took a short trip to the Walt Disney World Resort on Thursday afternoon and has taken a plethora of newsworthy photos to share, so let’s take a look:
Work on the Hall of Champions facade on Main Street U.S.A. at the Magic Kingdom continues
Work on the “Arcade/Emporium” facade continues as well
The Main Street Restoration Society is responsible for all the sprucing up 😉
This has been a regular sight for a few months now
The front of Pinnochio’s Village Haus is out from behind tarps
Now the side of the building is back under tarps
The facade of “it’s a small world” is looking much better after some final touches were added
Still closed 🙁
The construction walls around Space Mountain have expanded through most of the northern half of Tomorrowland
Rumors indicate that the Tomorrowland Skway building will be demolished over the coming weeks
The restrooms in the Skyway building are now closed while work on the structure continues
This should give you an idea of how far the walls were epanded
The Space Mountain Fastpass distribution area and the front of the arcade are now behind those walls
Those windows we saw through a few weeks ago are now covered up 🙁
Another look at the Skyway building
The construction walls wrap around the back of Tomorrowland
You can see that new lights have been installed above the TTA track in this picture
The year is missing from Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress
More construction is taking place on the other side of Tomorrowland
The temporary facade that was placed where the Galaxy Palace Theater once stood is once again behind walls (it appears to be gone)
The new stage for Jack Sparrow’s Pirate Tutorial in Adventureland is finished, but hasn’t been used yet
If you look closely, you can see some great details from the film series in the stage area
Moving over to Epcot, the Innoventions East breezeway is now being re-paved
There are tarps over the windows of The Electric Umbrella while this work is going on
The tile is being removed
Here’s the new flooring that we showed you a few weeks ago
Some of the old tile remains at the exit of the Epcot Character Spot
Inside Innoventions, work continues on the upcoming Raytheon “Sum of all Thrills” exhibit
The Germany pavilion has a new meet and greet area for Snow White
It even comes complete with a wishing well.
Thanks for the report Brandon!!!
