WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen recently visited three of the Walt Disney World theme parks and has a number of newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip. With all the D23 Expo coverage we’ve been dealing with, it has taken a while to get to this report, but better late than never, so let’s take a look:
No more Lone Ranger preview… it’s not really playing at many theaters anymore…
MuppetVision 3-D is closed for refurbishment
Sofia the first debuted at Disney’s Hollywood Studios recently
She has a nice backdrop for her meet and greet
Disney Infinity billboards are up at the Backlot Tour
Also, the 1-2-3 Mickey Mouse has been decorated to celebrate Planes…
At Epcot, work continues on adding more of the new turnstiles
FastPass+ entrance at Spaceship Earth
This food cart behind Spaceship Earth has finally opened!
No more tarps up on Fountain View and signage has been installed
FastPass+ at Turtle Talk with Crush
Work continues on Spice Road Table in Morocco
Moving to the Magic Kingdom, Halloween merchandise has been released across property
Haunted Mansion singing bust ornaments
The shirt is the same design from last year, but says 2013
Light-up popcorn bucket
During a recent refurbishment, new boats were installed at Pirates of the Caribbean
They look great and don’t bottom out, but they have been getting guests a lot more wet than the old boats and make a horrible squeaking noise when they bump into each other…
The Magic Kingdom now sells the most expensive fruit ever… let’s end with this…
Same Halloween T-Shirts as last year :(
Hey…at least you get a souvenir clear plastic bag and twist-tie with your apple.
We can't wait for our next trip in exactly 5 weeks but who's counting. Thanks to WTWNT we are always kept up to date and closer than the 750 miles we are Florida. I hope to join the staff when we move :-)
Well I don't think it should be surprised that the new boats at POTC are giving guest a "wetter" experience since the boats at Disneyland have been doing that just fine these past few years.
