It finally opens up the view of the bottom half of the castle from Main Street vs when the big trees were there and I could tell that the new curbless center area is going to be a terrific idea for keeping people moving through that area. The area looks nice. Especially since the Partners statue became THE center focus of the hub now...and quite easy to see from all angles from a distance now as well. Nice update by the way!

Originally Posted By monorailblue It's good to see photos of WDW, but I have to say this: Seeing any photos of WDW's Fantasyland makes me laugh out loud.

Originally Posted By Rebekah TDLFAN, Having spent nearly all day at the Magic Kingdom hoping against hope that the clouds would part long enough for a soft opening, I can say sadly no. I was there for all scheduled shows and watched pathetically as each show time was removed from the sign and the voice from above declared it had been cancelled. Several times teams of people came out and wiped down the stage as the rain had let up only to have a downpour start moments before showtime. I can't imagine how frustrating that must be for the performers. I'm sure they are eager to have their first performance. Rebekah.
Originally Posted By riverted Yeah, they were very upset & frustrated just sitting in the character zoo all day (Except when they performed in Day parade)...

Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>But it did run today<< Yes it did Doobie and I kept looking around for you and Rebekah as well. Sorry you guys got rained out yesterday. I didn't even bother leaving my house.
