Wow! The whole area looks great! I think its a much better touch than the old area. What really sucks was I visited the MK on Sunday where it poured rain all day. I probably would have got to see this had it not been raining. I did get on all rides multiple times though . What exactly is the new "x-pass"?

So what do you guys think? I could see the Wall-E D-Ticket replace Stitch and Stark Expo or an Avatar ride replace Monsters Inc. Tomorrowland could really benefit from replacing those attractions (Haven't seen Monsters Inc. in person though).

Thanks for the report Adam. You answered a few questions I had that I couldn't find anywhere else (I.E.- if the interactive queue for Dumbo was opened yet and if they built the xpass queue lines into the rides).


From the photos I've viewed so far; the craftmanship looks to be significantly above Toon Town, but I haven't seen anything that really impresses yet.

[xmichellexI'm a know-it-all about donkeys!]

Awesome pictures! Thanks for the update... seeing all the pieces start to fall into place is really cool. I'm so excited to see how everything will look when the expansion is complete. Everything looks great so far. I know Fantasyland is sort of geared towards younger kids, but this is making me want to go back to the MK, especially once the Beauty and the Beast stuff is done!

[Brandy524I make cake]

Everything looks gorgeous! Thanks for all the pictures!

Up and Adam (couldn't help the Simpsons' ref), thanks for the update! Already it looks so much different (and better) when i was there last. So are they doing work yet on the Snow White Mine Train coaster yet?

[SLUSHIEIt's hot outside, and I have a headache]

So is the "secret" path to Tomorrowland closed for good? Seems like its blocked off and has all the railings removed.

That would be a bummer. It was always a nice uncrowded walk!

It is the rumored (or should I say, strongly suggested to happen) evolution of the Fastpass system which will complement the existing free system in the form of a paid-to-use or resort exclusive (this hasn't been revealed, so the logistics are still based on speculation) add on to the park experience. This would include the hypothetical ability to reserve your ride time (like a Fastpass) days, weeks or possibly months ahead of your trip. This system would also include show times, parade and firework viewings and dining reservations.

That being said, none of this has been officially confirmed, so take it all with a grain of salt.

You can see the foundations have risen here for the coaster.

I assume you are talking about the path pictured on the map, right? It is still open to guests for access between the two lands. They actually rethemed the lamp posts to transition between the two lands, but I figured nobody would be interested in seeing 200 photos of lamp posts, right?

From what I remember, Barnstormer actually looks worse. The rest of the area looks good though.
