Josh Siegel’s 9/22/10 WDW Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Josh Siegel scoured the entire Walt Disney World Resort on Wednesday to cover just about every construction project in progress and he has hundreds of newsworthy photos to share with us in this photo report:
Work continues on Pollo Campero at Downtown Disney Marketplace
Concrete being replaced just outside the construction walls
After many weeks of no visible progress, Pollo Campero is finally making some progress
Looks like they’ll be keeping the strange McDonald’s tower
Work also going on outside of Fulton’s
Welcome to Hollywood, where most of the park is closed…
The Snow White topiaries are gone as part of the character backdrop project
Large stars are being installed to create a nicer backdrop for character photos
High School Musical 3 will be performing on this stage until it goes away forever next month
Special Agent Oso should be moving in here next week
Goodbye creepy Little Einsteins
Beauty and the Beast billboard up in the animation Courtyard
Tangled poster up outside the Animation Building
Artists creating cells inside the display
This month’s Hollywood Studios cell being created
Looks like a future Animal Kingdom cell being created
Early work on Tangled being shown
A new wall decoration for Tangled
Work continues outside Voyage of the Little Mermaid
Work continues on One Man’s Dream
You would almost forget the Magic Kingdom is getting a new E-Ticket the way Disney fans have been ranting lately….
or the entire new land and incredible attractions coming to California in 2012….
I don’t think we could be more excited for TRON Legacy
Nothing to see here
New shirts based on the games in Toy Story Midway Mania are now available
Did this actually get updated?
Lights going up on New York Street for the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights
Whoops, almost forgot about that too!!! 😉
Ewwwwww….
This will be open until Star Tours returns
Block Party Bash only has 3 months left, make sure you catch it before it’s gone!
Time for Epcot
Walls up near the Monorail station
Green signs now up on the opposite side of Innoventions
What’s this?
Tape-ship Earth brand tape?
Kodak’s name still made it to the new sign
Some extreme window cleaning on top of The Land
The ponds near Imagination have been drained for some work
MONEY!
Still there…
A lot of Kodak signage has still not been replaced
That’s strange…
They’re still there…
This might take a while
Most of the Food and Wine booths are up and ready
Duffy the Disney Bear’s meet and greet is under construction
The new guardrails continue to be installed on the Fountain of Nations
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom, where things are picking up in Fantasyland
What we believe to be the framework for “Under The Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid” is now visible
That mountain of dirt will remain and will make up some of the facade of the attraction
There is a lot of activity back there
Not much visible from down here
Except this strange structure
We have no idea what this is in all honesty, may just be building materials
Peter Pan’s Flight… still behind tarps
MAybe Dumbo can help us fly over the Fantasyland construction walls
You can do it Dumbo!
A great view behind the walls
This view gives you a good idea how much space was laid out for the much smaller Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty attractions
On the other side, Cast Member access tunnels are being built near the Beauty and the Beast area
Moving over to the Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, tarps are down from the Playful Spot tree again, but some limbs are being adjusted
More of the facade begins to emerge
The already exposed portion
Work inside continues
The Mad Tea Part roof will be replaced in a few weeks
This may look very different…
Construction vehicles now visible behind the strange walls inside the Tomorrowland Speedway
Belle is gone…
Walls are up as Disney prepares to welcome Rapunzel and Flynn Rider
This passage is closed while Castle Dreamlights are installed
Some very early Christmas Parade filming going on
Most of the Castle Dreamlights are up already
Tarps are still up on Main Street
This sight will be gone soon…
“Move It, Shake It, Celebrate It!” should be leaving at the end of the year
More Castle Dreamlights
Thanks for the super-long report Josh!
