The parks are dead

You can see FastPass+ installed at the end

Probably a 5…

FastPass+ installed at Tower as well

Ummmm….

The old Carthay Theater on Sunset Boulevard

Eat your heart out DCA

How am I supposed to take a shortcut through Starring Roles if you are fixing the path?

Heading into Magic of Disney Animation

John Lasseter in Wreck-It Ralph form

Fantastic video game humor on dispaly

Ha

Artists working hard on the new Ink and Paint Cells

There is a Fix-It Felix machine on display, although it is behind glass 🙁

The movie ads on the wall have been updated

Will do a barrel roll? OK, I MUST see this film…

The Animation Gallery still has railroad merchandise

As well as 40th anniversary and “it’s a small world” merchandise

Neat!

Work continues on The Legend of Jack Sparrow

Some strange white markings have appeared on the walls

I’m guessing these are supposed to be the dotted line on a treasure map, but it is too early to tell

I originally thought they might be markers for something, but I don’t think so

We’ll find out soon enough

A crane backstage for some reason

NO WAY…

Yep…

Wow, a TRON penny machine

This machine probably made more money than the movie did… ZING

Phineas and Ferb merchandise has taken over the old Loony Bin

Wait…

Yeah, that isn’t what that was meant for…

The smoking section near Star Tours is behind walls

This planter in front of Sounds Dangerous is also behind walls

American Idol Experience is ready for FastPass+

Moving over to Epcot, Adam was so excited about the blue vehicles at Universe of Energy that he couldn’t hold his camera still

The Test Track facade is getting ripped apart

Wow…

Food and Wine Festival preparations are well underway

After months of work, the La Hacienda fountain is out from behind walls!

Ummm, you’re in the wrong area, Italy is behind you…

AHHHHH!

Wendell from the Country Bears was out as well

“Am I early? “

Cool World Showcase shirt!

Some work being done near the waterway in the France pavilion

Work continues on what is believed to be a DVC booth near the Canada pavilion

More walls up near the Refreshment Port

KHALUA PORK SLIDERS! SOON!

First stop: The Backlot Tour…

Posters for War Horse, John Carter, and The Muppets up

Muppets ad inside the Backlot Tour tram

Block Party Bash cones still sitting around

You’ve probably already read our story about it, but here is another look at the Beauty and the Beast statue

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

Pan-Am poster

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

Prep and Landing on TV in one of the windows

Kind of scary…

Cupcakes complete with light-up ice cubes available

Cookies!

Yes Adam, we’ll include this photo!

The window screens have not ben working nightly, but were on at this time

A tribute to Jennings Osborne

The booth by the stage in front of the Sorcerer’s Hat has a very neon glow
