I was surprised by this news, because I think the RIDE is ready..... they were testing it every night this week, starting at 8:15 or 8:30 pm until dawn it seemed. We watched from our room at the Villas at GC. They were still painting the clouds though, and giving them more depth, etc.
I think the work left is largely in the surrounding area, the queue lines, the trees, and of course the restaurant areas.
We enjoyed watching the work, and of course, we watched World of Color every night from our balcony!
