Bling is off the castle now (a few days later than originally expected).

No blingage.
:)

It still looks better than it did befire the blingage was first applied. But, it will be missed by some..............

Well, the crowns and cone-hairnets are gone, but the conspicuous golden railings along the parapets are still there, not to mention all the tapestryesque hanging blingage.

Okay, where did I leave off ? Oh yeah !



New Year Of A Million Whatever banners have been posted in the esplanade:




The castle has been almost completely deblinged:




Gee, I wonder if they were in a hurry ?




The gold railing remains:





No more 'hidden' mickeys on the attractions:




No more gold paint on the facades:



Hell, even the napkins have been deblinged:



While he's being repainted backstage, Jingles has been replaced by Jangles:





The sorcerer hat by the hotels had a new sign installed:







The refubishment of the NOS buildings across the train track is almost complete:




Plants have been planted in the planters over at Tomorrowland Terrace:



In case you didn't get the memo, Club Buzz is once again Tomorrowland Terrace:



.....and there are many new signs around the stage area to remind you:




As I mentioned previously, Tomorrowlanding opened last Sunday in the late afternoon:




Halloween decorations are up:

















Sadly, the Halloween theming doesn't extend beyond Main Street USA and Big Thunder Ranch. Hopefully the celebration will get bigger in the years to come.

And finally, this is for you innerSpaceman:






Quizzno's is now open !

May I first say that the Mark Twain is now quite fugly. As is the TomorrowLanding (what kind of name is that, anyway???)

The napkins and many other items were still 50th on Tuesday. I actually like the new color and design..it's very subtle.

Great pictures!

Which 'hidden' mickey are you referring to?

Yay, Quizno's on Harbor! My Whitewater scrimping days are over!


OMG, Sleeping Beauty Castle looks naked!!!!

(but will they remove the rest of the bling, or will they be lazy? Those gold railings were the only thing that really bugged me .... watch, they'll leave those for eternity. Ugh, castles are supposed to have that, whatdyacallem, ya know for shooting arrows through? classic castletechture ruined by those stupid railings!)



Some nice photos in there, zapp.

Me likes the pics. Mahalo, zap.
:)




btw, iSm, Quizno's sucks.
:D

Quizno's RULES!


I'll never eat at Mimi's again!!! (to paraphrase Scarlett O'Hara)
