WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom this week and has some great newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip, so let’s take a look:

NO MORE SORCERER’S HAT

Neverbeast banners up in the Animation Courtyard

Also, an ad for Big Hero 6 on Blu-ray

A Tomorrowland billboard has gone up by PIXAR Place

An Inside Out billboard at the other end of the street

Still no signs of life at the Backlot Tour

A Cinderella billboard behind the Great Movie Ride

After years of waiting, walls are up outside of Stage 1, possibly the home of a third Toy Story Mania track

Moving over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, walls have engulfed what was the Island Merchantile pin cart

Work continues on Rivers of Light

From Everest, you can see the vertical construction of AVATAR

Also, the prep work for Rivers of Light

We assume the need to run pipes through the viewing area is for some water effects that will take place in the audience, similar to World of Color

Work continues on revamping the entrance to Kali River Rapids

Work continues on the new Africa Marketplace area, including the Harambe Marketplace restaurant

Some of the buildings in the marketplace are nearing completion

A look at the AVATAR construction walls… still nothing to see here

 

And one last look at Rivers of Light construction
