FYI, at the top of most of the pages, it says....

The following photos were taken on January 012002.

And I know that is not what thepark looked like almost 12 months ago....:rolleyes:

And what about Sleeping Beauty's Castle Walkthrough... (I know, I know, TBD... about the same time as they open up one here on the Big Island) <--- about the Castle, not that I am on the Big Island.......

Thank you for letting me know The issue is now fixed. The castle walk through is basically no more...

Any chance we can start seeing some Tower views from outside the Park? I'd be interested in seeing what this mess looks like from accross Harbor Blvd. Lots of steel and concrete-any greenery?

Sure, we can certainly do that.

I really like the new Treasure Planet photo/greet. Jim and Ben are great at interacting with the kids.

thanks Michael!! fun to sit back with a small glass of homemade Baileys Irish creme and admire the scenery! A candy place in "pooh corner" now that's a good idea, you simply can not have too many candy places!! gotta have that vanilla fudge! and the walk all the way back to Main street is a long one! now if they would just put in a good coffee place like blue ribbon bakery it would be perfect!!

[Michael]

You're welcome! I wonder if any new candy items will be added or will it have the same items Main Street has? What would you like to see?

OMG! I have julie andrews singing away in my head..."these are a few of my favorite things..." lol..You can never have too many kinds of fudge!! and the good caramel corn with nuts in it, but I really would like to see it be a combination candy store, coffee spot like blue ribbon. A piece of vanilla fudge and a holiday mocha in one stop, perfection! And they need to sell their peppermint bark by the piece, a box for nearly $20. is just too much!

Is the re-built King Arthur's Carousel going to be the same kind of construction as before, or are they using some new materials? I thought the canopy was supposed to be an authentic painted canvas. What they are putting up now looks more like metal.

While you're taking pictures of TOT off-property, could you also go around and see how far away you can get and still see it? Like how the Matterhorn is visible from far away at certain angles. If I'm going South on I-5 towards Disneyland, how soon will I be able to see it?

I wonder if the Pooh candy store will have honey candy? Maybe sell those honey wax tubes as "Pooh Sticks"?
***CAUTION***
Another bad joke about Pooh- Will they start calling the Splash Mtn logs "Pooh Logs"?
I warned you!:rolleyes:
