(Thumbs down on whoever came up with that idea.) However, the Pin Trading kiosk has been taken down (thumbs up on that one). -The Cinderella Castle shoppe is now closed, as it's being renovated and turned into the 2nd Bibiddi-Bobbidi Boutique. Yuk! Bad Idea. -Many stones in the never-to-be-completed Walk Around the World walkway portion between the MK and the Contemporary have faded away so badly, you can hardly read the names printed on them. I never realize how bad the quality of these stones are. Yet, my stone next to Michael Eisner's at the front of the park remain in pretty decent shape.
Originally Posted By figment1986 those near the front are nicer because they are stepped on less than those near boats, buses or monorail... Mine is stepped on less since its near guest services. anything good about your trip other than mickey's missing hands and gone pin kiosk?

ORGOCH: Must be all them W's...
