Work continues on Splitsville at Downtown Disney

Spotted construction workers

Still looks nothing like the concept art…

The Phineas and Ferb topiary from Epcot is now near the Phines and Ferb & You attraction

Guests were waiting for it to open

Blink has been open for a while now, don’t think we have shown it yet…

John Carter Vinylmation is now at D Street

Adam is probably the only person who has bought them

They had better hurry up…

Moving over to Epcot

Some work going on at both ends of the turnstiles

A great Epcot 30th anniversary display is up in the window at Art of Disney

They are pretty much ready for the Food and Wine festival, starting Friday

You can still buy these

The Cool Wash near Test Track is out from behind walls and now features the new “Sim Car”

The area got fixed up nicely

The dummy sports the new logo

A large hole is now in the front of Test Track

Goodbye old entrance

A new chimney installed at the Norway pavilion… we assume Agent P related…

The work on the Norway waterfall is done

Some other roof work is wrapping up

The new American Adventure cast costumes have debuted… these ones are pretty bad. Did somebody say McDonald’s?

The attraction host costumes are actually very nice

The Festival Shop actually has real doors this year…

Chase seems to be a sponsor ready to burn cash

All of the booths are ready to go

The DVC booth near Canada is just about complete

Told ya’ it was a DVC booth!

Work going on next to the Refreshment Port as well

Display at the front of World Showcase

Framing props…

WATERMELON PATCH

Apparently the cranberry bog is coming back

Moving over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Celebrity 5 & 10 is behind tarps

FastPass+ installed at Indiana Jones

Sneak Peaks Galore!

Update 3/9/12 Thank you everyone here and on Facebook for the comments on these sneak peaks! Looks like the best guess to the mystery women is from Derek… Tomorrowland Space Women (can also do man variant).

3/7/12 The Disney Parks Blog just posted an interview with Disney Design Group and Vinylmation artist Thomas Scott. It was an interview focusing on the new John Carter Vinylmation, but we saw much more around the office than that. We brake it down for you, but the video itself, has great insight and pictures on how Vinylmation are designed. Take a look.

Ok, let’s dive in…

We have some pieces here they wanted us to see, what do you spot? Possible some Urban designs? Also, pink Park Starz Squid. Is this another variant? The stars top hat behind seems to be the Uncle Sam figure we are looking forward to near July 4th. How abut the women in the bubble helmet. This strikes me as a Park figure but I can’t quite place it.

Next up, we have our first real look at the upcoming Popcorn figures. Mickey in the foreground and Goofy in the right corner. Looks like the opposite of my speculation! These are larger than 3″ and even appear larger than Park Starz. Speaking of… are those 2 more Park Starz molds behind Mickey? If so, any character guesses?

Here is another look at Goofy. And then the John Carter vinyls…

Besides the new molds, that we already knew about, It appears Princess Deja has a cape accessory! Where was that for Star Wars?

And here is a closer look at Thark Jeddak Tars Tarkus’s arms.

The video also gave a glimpse into the work environment for Thomas Scott. Maybe showing some of his inspirations and for sure showing off a collection of his own Vinylmation work.

What is your take on the sneak peaks found in this video? Did you find others we didn’t spot?

There appears to be a damaged or unfinished Beast statue off to the side as well

KUNGALOOSH!

Happy birthday Walt!

It may be time to take down the TRON Legacy billboards…

Phineas and Ferb are dressed for the holidays

Lines remain long

OOOOOO, my favorite part!

“No you don’t Ethan… Ethan, no you don’t!” BANG!

If you need me to tell you where we are, you’re visiting the wrong site…

If I have to tell you this one, you might have larger problems…

I suggest a room on the 13th floor, views are sublime

Current day citizens of Hollywood were out filming

Looks like they are having fun

Time to make another flip book!

AMAZING!

The Disney difference is in the details

Plenty of alcohol available for the season

Everyone awaiting the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights

Duffy is hidden in this year’s holiday cup…

The only show where a switch is the star

TA-DA!

The new canopy really is stunning

Kind of scary…
