*Crystal Palace is currently undergoing rehab through Dec 12. The building is getting a MAJOR facelift: New domes, new columns, interior walls and floors redone, increased dining room capacity, second seating podium, redone guest restrooms, improved kitchen facilities.
*New penny press machines recently added, including one at the exit to Jungle Cruise.
*Repaving underway at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe (looks great so far), and it looks like parts of Liberty Sq and Adventureland may get similar treatment soon.
*Oasis gift location has been open again most of the summer (near the exit to the Jungle Cruise). Not as much Jungle merchandise as before, (just skulls, snakes, and guns) but it's still a possibility as they're in the process of testing demand and sales numbers.
*More Villains merchandise at Leota's cart (Mansion exit), and new Mansion merchandise as well (clue game now available). A neat new mug and two new snowglobes should appear within the next year.
*The first *practical* use of the SegWay human transporter (I don't consider riding around the office, driving in circles or running over other people practical, and that's how it's been promoted by the inventor so far) Epcot merchandise is now selling glow items off of it (pretty neat to see high-tech futuristic stuff in use at Epcot for a change).
*IBM Thinkplace reopened Last week in Innoventions with new displays and a new race game, this time it's an undersea treasure hunt.
*New sound systems finally being tested at Jungle Cruise. (perhaps a foreign language safety spiel will come soon)
