It seems kind of confusing to me, but I'm easily confused! I loved the Black Pearl. I sure hope they leave it like that for a few days after the 24th.
Originally Posted By Darkbeer Yes, my schedule has been pretty much at opening. So far... Friday early afternoon Saturday, opening Sunday, Early afternoon Monday and Tuesday, opening Today, about 10 AM (photos being uploaded). Every day is different, they are building a pathway that will allow west bound traffic under the bleachers. But yesterday and today. No access from Fronteirland. Adventureland has a rope down the middle and CM's trying to have folks stay to the right, the Pirates Bridge had a rope this morning, also for two way traffic. Then when you enter NOS, the west bound traffic walks on the north end, near the bleachers. Folks leaving Critter Country and sent thru the NOS streets by Club 33 and the Blue Bayou. Basically one way traffic thru the area from now until Monday, maybe Tuesday.

The steel work in Sub Lagoon has been Topped Off. An American Flag was placed on the highest piece of steel that needed to be installed. Pirates work moves slowly, all four bleacher sections are set up but not finished, the pathway from Frontierland is still blocked off, and Adventureland is two way "keep to your right" traffic with CM's trying to enforce the policy. Not much change to the Columbia/Black Pearl from yesterday. ENJOY!

If you do see me in the AM and sitting by the Red Carpet, please stop me, would love to get some shots of hardcore fans.
