WDWNT reader AJ P. was nice enough to offer us some newsworthy photos they took on their recent trip to Walt Disney World, so let’s take a look around all 4 parks and Downtown Disney:
Land clearing continues for the Grand Floridian DVC wing
the rain left some large puddles
Welcome to the Magic Kingdom
Chamber of Commerce behind tarps
The Bakery as well
On to New Fantasyland
Work being done on the facade of Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
Large walls popping up on the site of the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
Supports and such for the Mine Train in the foreground, Storybook Circus tents in the background
A green and red wall will separate the forest from Storybook Circus
A look across to Belle’s Village
The remains of Dumbo right in front of an expanding Castle Wall
Dumbo is coming along quickly
The backside isn’t themed in any way, but it faces the Speedway, so it will match nicely…
The Barnstormer tower
Circus tents
Walls still up near the Haunted Mansion
The Sunshine Tree Terrace is still behind tarps
Tarps still up at Pecos Bill’s
The planters have been repaired in Tomorrowland, but they have temporary covers until plants are placed
On to Downtown Disney, work continues on Splitsville
Doesn’t look like much has happened inside yet
Rainforest Cafe is open while work is done on the exterior
Concept art shows the new exterior and the new Lava Lounge
Stitch is gone from the World of Disney sign
Work being done on the pavement outside the store
Moving over to Epcot
Flower and Garden Festival preperation
Work continues on the entrances to the Seas with Nemo and Friends
The water play areas in Future World are being fixed-up
Tutto Italia is finally being remodeled after 5 years in the former Alfredo’s building
The exterior is being ripped apart
The old waiting area is gone…
The horror… THE HORROR!
I hope they are fixing the menu here as well, because Via Napoli makes this place look silly
The other water play area behind walls
Modifications being made to the Spaceship Earth queue in preparation for the eventual roll-out of Xpass…
We’re going to animal Kingdom!
For one piece of news… they are still repairing the rock-work in the Oasis
Great Report!

Great report! I love the shots of Spaceship Earth and The Tree of Life!
