    Marvels takeover of Innoventions continues. Captain America now has a meet and greet inside. Outside new banners.
  • Page Number: 40
    Really seems like it needs a new name now.. Innoventions does not really seem to work with what is inside. And wonder how many more years on the contract for the down stairs exhibits.. seems it really needs to be done.
  • Page Number: 41
    With the subs closed Tomorrowland is not too crowded looking.
    ASIMO still gets a banner, over near the Autopia side.

    Iron Man had some guests but it was not crowded.
    Thor had a wait just under half an hour according to a CM.

    Was this the tree that sustained damage during the last storm? Or was this cut down for some other reason?
    Fort Wilderness.. still very sad to walk around this area and the abandon fort. Interesting to note that every time I seem to run into some guest talking about past experiences and what a shame it is that it is off limits/closed now.

    Toy Story was closed but looked like it was about to open so I hung around a few minutes and was able to get in line and wait less than 5 minutes, great timing/luck.
    Not that good of a score though. Always tough by yourself.
    Tops for the hour.. but less than half the day and 1/3 the month score.
  • Page Number: 75
    Too bad the Winter Dreams Lights still do not looked to be used for World of Color.. maybe someday.. since they are still up there.
    Little Mermaid was a walk on so went Under the Sea. It closes for some work in a few weeks.

    Noticed this new walkway/path set up on the third floor of the Mickey and Friends garage. Kind of interesting. Was there an incident or just new laws?
