Originally Posted By u k fan I'm pleased these are going up already as I was worried that there might be visible signs of work on the castle when we are there at the end of March. I think they are great and I can't wait to try and get everyone to identify the characters. Also, when I mentioned way back that I was going to be at DLP at the end of March Leemac mentioned that I might get a preview of the new parade, does anyone know if that's likely?!!!

Originally Posted By u k fan It looks like it will be running previews at some point through the week I'm there. I think I'll ask at Guest Relations each morning. If it only runs one day while we're there I'd hate for it to be the one we pick for the Studios!!!

Originally Posted By dennis-in-ct I am doing Gay Days ae WDW for the first weekend in June. I will be in Paris April 14 - 20 so I will do a day trip to DLP only. Can't be bothered with the Studios until they put more into that park. If I was there during the time - I would love to meet up to say HI

Originally Posted By FerretAfros It looks pretty good, but the lighting covers to the towers look pretty terrible. I assume those are the same lights that they use in the winter to make it look really cool. While they look great at night, they look horrible during the day, and I'm not a big fan overall. It also looks like they will be staying for a while, as it would be a lot easier to install the characters (especially Tinkerbell at the top) after they have been removed instead of doing it while they are up there. It would also make sense to do them at the same time. If they are going to keep them up long term (which it looks like they are), then I think they should really try to make it a more permanent looking solution that is better to look at during the day.
