    This scene looked the same to me.
    Most of the fish have received a new paint scheme and use black lighting. They look substantially better to me.

  • Page Number: 35
    Noticed the moon was visible to the left of the Matterhorn.
    More Nikon picture spot signage.
  • Page Number: 36
    I used to think 120 minutes to meet the Frozen sisters was crazy but after seeing the 200+ and at one point 305 min waits down at WDW this seems like nothing!
    Walked by the Ranch.
    The plan was to stop since it closed at 5pm, but for some reason at 4:50pm they already had the gates closed and were not allowing guests in anymore.
  • Page Number: 37
    Big Thunder and the moon.
    A trio of ducks along the Big Thunder Trail
    Work continues in New Orleans Square.

    Pirates is closed for renovations.
  • Page Number: 39
    But still had a posted 45 minute wait :)
    With Pirates down New Orleans Square was relatively peaceful to walk through.
  • Page Number: 40
  • Page Number: 41
    The exit of Pirates.
  • Page Number: 42
    Thought it was odd they did not have a wall across the front of the exit area so you could look in and see the exposed ceiling.
  • Page Number: 43
    This entrance to the store was closed, but you could enter to the right between the walls.
    Here is the open entrance.

  • Page Number: 53
    In Toontown work on the fountains.
  • Page Number: 54
    A look through a crack in the fence shows they repainted/sealed the fountain.

    The other fountain by the houses is also being worked on.

    A look at the Go Coaster. Looks like they are just repainting.
    Never really noticed how bad the view is from up here. Look at all the equipment on the roof of the service station.
  • Page Number: 58
    A closer look.
    Back to the Go Coaster
  • Page Number: 59
    Word on the internet is a new walkway is coming to the back of Main Street to help with crowd flow. That means the First Aid, Lockers, etc.. need to be moved.

    Main Street was crowded as usual.
  • Page Number: 73
    Sleeping Beauty Castle with the Partners statue in the foreground.
    The Westward Ho Trading Co was closed for renovation. Guess that is why the pins moved to the music store?

  • Page Number: 74
  • Page Number: 75
    Then it was back to Main Street for Magical
  • Page Number: 76
    Our tram lost power and we sat for several minutes while they worked to get it restarted so we could make it back to the garage. During this time a line of trams was stuck/stopped behind us. I am guessing it was a mess back at the tram stop since nothing was moving.
