- New billboards at the M&F tram stop
- Noticed some new banners along the walkway in Downtown Disney too
- The new AP ad on the billboard after the security tents
- The train is running again but the Main Street station is still behind tarps
- Still working on the roof over here too
- The wait times around 1:30, notice no time for Nemo (it was running though)
- The VMK booth is gone and a Nemo merchandise location has taken its spot in Tomorrowland
- Now time to find the end of the line for Nemo..
- Well its beyond the 90 minute sign
- It was out by the 120 minute sign
- Tine to get in line
- I was given a card to track how long my wait was..
- One of the monorails (I am guessing its Red since Purple was running) is wrapped with a Nemo overlay
- Getting closer...
- The is really no queue under the monorail station anymore, its a giant loading area for the most part. They count off and have you go to a waiting area to go right on then.
- Yeah I made it on.. the time I gave the CM was 2:52pm (so for those not mathematically inclined, or cannot remember the time on the card a few pages ago, that was an hour and 15 minute wait, not as bad as I had expected)
- Now I have quite a few pages of pictures from onboard..
- Some good some not so good (since it was my first time I was trying to experience the attraction and take pictures, which is not the best way to do either)
- Now we finally reached the caves and the new projections..
- Time to surface
- On the way out I noticed the lights inside the sub are LEDs now
- This area was open for eating and just relaxing, nothing was going on
- One turkey is still going strong
- The Mark Twain has returned to service
- Some work being done along the rivers
- The Pirate show was going on when I walked by
- Only one raft was working the Island this afternoon, which led to lines on both sides
- Now some shots of the Fort.. the back half appears to be gone (the half by the cemetary)
- There are still some tarps under the rail bridge
- Pirates merchandise has taken over the cart outside the Haunted Mansion exit
- The line to get out to the Island
- There was foam in the water at the treehouse
- The scaffolding is down too
- Wonder if that means it will be open soon
- Not much going on in Toontown
- The play area was closed (my guess is because of the sun/heat
- King Tritons fountains are drained and walled off
- Spotted a cat checking out the fountain
- There were actually two cats
- Not sure what this rope is being set up for.. it was about 4:20 only..
- The lines around 4:20
- One of the windows on Main Street has been converted to a Ratatouille window
- Noticed the Star Traders window now has Nemo in it
- The College Band at the Tomorrowland Terrace
- There was a Ratatouille unit before the Parade of Dreams
- A couple shots of the Toy Story Mania work, for a more extensive look check back Sunday in the Construction progress section
- Spotted this out in the Bay
- Lightening and Mater are now in Condor Flats
- No more fries at Award Weiners.. which is too bad, I thought those were the best Disney frys
- The window at Greetings from California now has a sticker for the Nemo subs
- The current guidempas for the parks
- The College Band on Main Street
- The line board around 7:40pm
- Nemo popcorn buckets
- Now some shots of the new exhibits in Innoventions
- Only a couple items are installed, but there are signs of more to come soon
- Back outside..
- Noticed some sand bags on the falls to restrict the water hitting the subs as they exit the caves
- Finally I get them lined up then I goof up the shot and its not focused right..
- The band at Plaza Gardens
- They throw a tarp over the wheel chair lift for Fantasmic
- Speaking of Fantasmic... it returned Friday
- There seemed to be more fog along the banks.. not sure if this was weather related, the midst screen settling, or by design
- There are also new lighting effects on the princess units. The bright blue lights instead of dimmed or off as they used to be, also the colored version looked brighter and the transition looked great, the next few pages illustrate this.
- The Mark Twain rounding the bend
