The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
When we were leaving Pop Century this morning we noticed this crew out cleaning the stairwells
The van had a bus dispatcher in it who was telling the busses where to pick up. This kept things moving sort of, but not as well as I would have thought.
First stop EPCOT. Noticed the garlands over the turnstyles
The ornaments are globes..
The art gallery to the right when you pass Spaceship Earth
In Innoventions noticed some new Segways on display
Also spotted a new exhibit on micro and nano things.
Our first stop of the morning was the new Seas with Nemo & Friends
The birds talk, just like the movie when you walk by.. mine... mine... mine..
The sign above the main entrance
The attraction description to the right of the main entrance
Looking back at the mural
Now some shots of the queue.. the path for the first part is the same, just new flooring, props, etc.. you start off on what appears to be a boardwalk then you progress to the beach.
This fairly dark, but its the old pre-show area.. now the second part of the queue and where you head underwater... this is carried on into the next room too where you actually see the underside of a boat overhead. Also you will notice the railings have changed.
Finally you arrive and board a Clam mobile
The first series of scenes are the reef and you meet the characters
Along the way you also meet Crush. (look for more shots in a later day)
The Manatee area only has one manatee
And some new displays
The Turtle Talk line still fills the first floor
A look down at the tunnel (which is where you meet Crush on the ride)
The top pod where they used to have the clown fish and other fish from the movie is currently walled off
The kidcot location on the second floor was not busy at all.
You exit through a giftshop
While waiting outside noticed the planters filler
Its seashells
Next stop Journey into Imagination
Noticed a bunch of flags in the area between the Land and JIM
Figment..
New signs throughout Future World
The band shell/stage near Innoventions is gone.
Some work going on near the guest relations area to the east (right as your exiting) of Spaceship Earth
Spotted this old car out in the parking lot (had the wrong lens so we are a bit far away but you get the drift)
Noticed the parking lot CMs are on Segways at EPCOT now
Next stop the Transportation and Ticket Center
As we walk over to the Polynesian
They were working on many of the torches that line the walkway and many others looked to be recently worked on (holes, etc..)
Next we take a peek into Capt Cooks
Which now features a self order terminal for the hot meal items
A couple shots of the main gift shop on the first floor
The front desk
Now we are upstairs near Ohanas
Wow this has changed a lot since my last trip here (its been a couple years I think)
Next up the Grand Floridian
The house is also a sales location, just like the one at EPCOT
Looks like they were re-sealing the joints or something
Its been a long time since I was in the Gasparilla Grill, its changed a lot too
The view from the outdoor tables is hard to beat
The birds were extremely aggressive here, guess people are not following the sign
Back in the lobby for a couple more pictures before moving on
Next up Downtown Disney
The tree outside Once Upon a Toy is interesting
Learned you cannot even walk through Pleasure Island till after 3:00pm so no pictures of the recently completed work
Two random shots in the McDs.
Santa hanging out at the marketplace greeting people
A random manger set up near World of Disney (a nice touch but kind of an odd placement in my mind)
Wonder what these boats are for? Can you rent them? They are not lake patrol
Work still going on near the other side of Pleasure Island
Our final stop of the day, Animal Kingdom after dark.
The Tree of Life
Everest from the bridge into Africa
From the same bridge just a different angle
Looking into an empty marketplace
The walkway to Asia
One of the Flame Tree BBQ seating area
Everest from the Flame Tree BBQ seating area
A longer exposure shot
A really long exposure shot looking toward Asia
Inside the Restaurantosourus
Dinoland
The Theater in the Wild is now fully enclosed
And a new musical is inside, Nemo
More Everest shots (the lighting was great and fun to try and capture)
Lokoing back toward the Tree of Life
Wow day two and this is picture number 1,001... already
A couple Tree of Life shots
A now fully empty Harambe
When we got back to Pop Century saw this CM had spent quite a bit of time on his chalk drawing.
