Walt Disney World Resort Pictures
The text list below contains the captions of all images in the set.
Had a bit of a later start this morning so took some pictures out of the room while waiting for the others.
Stopped by the Contempo Cafe for breakfast around 7:00am when they started serving their hot breakfast
Then hopped on a bus to the Animal Kingdom, stopped by the Polynesian and no one was there...
An ad for Bay Lake Tower in the bus
Arrived at the Animal Kingdom with plenty of time to spare
No pictures were allowed on the backstage portions of the tour, but once we went on stage for the Safari photos were fair game
Our guide for the morning
A random shot of a wall in Harambre
A shot of Everest from our table at lunch
The menu at Flame Tree
Animail Kingdom has a new picnic in the park program (pictures in a later update) but you can also purchase the same sandwhichs in this shop on Discovery Island
There is a cooler to the left when you walk in
Stitch!
A random shot of some tiles in a restroom in Asia (this stuck out to me compared to the boring restrooms that just opened at DCA).
Some work on the Jungle trek
Looks like the rockwork/stone is being redone, wonder if a new viewing area is going in or just cosmetic changes
Another shot over the wall
Random Tiger shot
Some of the items in the store in Asia
A couple fun facts as we walked through the Nemo line
Some random shots from the show
Back out and around Dinoland for some pictures
Noticed the food stand when you walk into Camp Minnie Mickey has a new menu of hot dogs and ice cream
The menu
The old ice cream stand is now a funnel cake stand
The menu, notice the prices and that the funnel cakes are not marked as snack items for Disney Dining plans.
The McDs by the All Star resorts was closed and being worked on
We headed back to the Contemporary... the pool area is being re-landscaped
The bridge, notice the far side on the left is the only part that is obstructed. At first I thought they were not done then it dawned on me that side looks down on a backstage/dumpster area.
The work going on in the pool area
Noticed these new cabanas, I do not remember those from last trip
It looks like the entire top set of floors are the grand villas (the two story window is what makes me say that)
While heading back to the room stopped on the walkway over the monorail track
The area nearest the Bay Lake Tower/Observation deck was blocked off and being used by DVC
A shot from the TTC
Monorail yellow was having some problems and had the express line shut down while they worked on it
Next stop for us was EPCOT
The Flower and Garden Festival was in full swing
I had several emails asking for shots of the entrance topiaries.. so here are a few pages worth...
A sign for Kim Possible outside of Innoventions
We walked in and Stormstruck was just about to start so we jumped right in
They show you a video then you vote for upgrades to protect the house
Wonder if I can buy a filter for the camera to take pictures of the 3D films.. something to look into sometime..
After you exit the film area there is a small interactive area
The Kim Possible area that I rushed by when we entered
You can pick up a mission card (think Fastpass) here.
At the Waste Management game
Noticed that the signs now have an attraction listed since there are no sponsors below the main name
A group performing as part of the Magic Music Days
Another Kim Possible location
A playground is set up near the rose walk this year
On the DIY Network they are running a show called Yard Crashers and one episode takes place at WDW. Here is the Garden they worked on.
EPCOTs Celebrate Today banner design
A gift shop
McDs is completely gone from all the parks menus
Out front of Canada again
Our destination, for dinner...
Had some time to kill so saw Off Kilter
Thought it was odd to show Martin Shorts picture on the sign
The beatles group
Another Kim Possible cart, this one by the International Gateway. They closed at 7:45.
Some more work is being done in Japan
I thought this was an interesting way to frame the topiary..
Remember earlier when I said to look at the funnel cake menu at AK.. here is the one at EPCOT.. notice the difference. AK was $4.29 for the sugar/cinamon and $5.29 for the Strawberries and whipped cream.. again no snack options valid here.
Is the Publick Dining Room a new subtag? I have to look it up but thought I would ask as it seemed different/added to me.. but probably is not
One random Illuminations shot
Noticed these latches on the monorail gates... think they are new.
