Great pictures, as always! I'm glad to see the lamp posts returning to green. The gold was cool, but I think it overstayed its welcome a little, IMO. I did like how much it brought out the details in the lamps though. Too bad they couldn't get them completely repainted in one night (each one, not the whole set), since it looks a little strange to have decapitated and scuffed up posts along the street. But I really did like the round barriers.

In Fantasmic!, I noticed there were no pictures of the Crocodile. Was he there, and you just didn't get any pictures, or was he missing? I've noticed that he hasn't been around in the last couple times I've seen the show, and I really hope it isn't a permanent change.

One more thing, it looks like they've cut back on the number of performers in the Parade of Dreams (no faries from Sleeping Beauty, fewer dancing plates-who also seem to have new outfits to make them look more like plates and less like napkins). Is this a permanent change now that the 50th is officially over, or did something happen (one of the faries was sick, and it didn't look right with only two or something like that) that doesn't usually occur. Although it still looks like a fabulous parade, I hope that they keep the number of performers pretty high, since that really added to the energy of the whole show. Also, are the show stops still in? I know they took them out of the WDW snowglobe parade after the official stuff for Walt's 100th ended, so I wouldn't be too surprised to see the same here.

Love to know...
