It has been way too long since we have had a photo report to share with you, but luckily Zach Larson has broken the dry-spell with some photos taken at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot over the last two days. Enjoy:

I was visiting Walt Disney World for the premiere of PIXAR Pals: Countdown to Fun and “Let the Memories Begin” last week and managed to find some time to take some newsworthy photos, so let’s take a look at what’s new around the parks:
We begin at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Gnomio & Juliet was going to be a Disney movie, now it’s just a Disney promoted movie…
WDWNT Network owner Tom Corless took a short trip to the Walt Disney World Resort last week and has a number of newsworthy photos to share:

A few weeks ago, we showed you the concept art for a 2010 monthly Walt Disney World pin series called “Then and Now”. The “What’s HapPINing Blog” was updated today with a look at two of the actual pins in the series. From the “What’s HapPINing Blog“:
As a follow up to a preview we presented in August, we received pin samples for the upcoming Walt Disney World® Then & Now series and they look great!
You’ll notice that the “then” side is in a metal finish with no color, and the “now” side is in full color. It’s been great to revisit some of our favorite older attractions in this series and we think the series will be a fun way for Guests to discover the history of the Theme Parks.
WDWNT Podcaster Anthony Yacullo has just returned from his trip to the Walt Disney World Resort and has a number of great photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:

Some exciting merchandise news released today by the What’s HapPINing Blog:
As promised, here is a first look at a new Pin of the Month collection coming to the Walt Disney World® Resort in 2010. Titled “Then and Now,” each pin in this collection will salute a current Disney attraction and its predecessor. This collection will be released starting in January 2010, and each pin will have an edition size of 1000.
The artwork for this collection was created by Disney Design Group Artist Mike Sullivan. We love the design of this pin – like we are looking into the “ThenandNow-O-Matic 3000.” For some reason, the spinner design reminds us a machine that could have been found in a Penny Arcade.
Other attractions in this collection will include:
- Monsters, Inc. Laugh Floor – The Timekeeper
- Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin – if you had wings
- Test Track – World of Motion
We’ve always wanted to take the time to do anything with our wings in a world where it is fun to be free.
For more details on this exciting new pin series as it becomes available, be sure to tune in to the Disney Pincast. If you haven’t started collecting pins yet, 2010 may be a good time to start 🙂
