Was able to spot 6 drones hovering over illuminations tonight at about 500feet. They had one steady red led, one steady white and and blinking red. There is still two circling spaceship earth now.

Maybe an effect of the quality/portioning rumors?

If you visit the photographer's website and view the gallery, some of the photos look like he was trespassing. He claims he used a drone, though.

On the one hand it's great to see more party dates - perhaps it will spread the crowds so the "special limited event" won't feel as crowded.
On the other hand, it's frustrating to have more early MK closures from September - December.

September-December is actually my favorite frame for visiting WDW. The weather is cooler, and to an end there are fewer guests around. I also enjoy seeing the seasonal decorations. It can be a struggle to get in MK late nights, though.

 

[Spacedog1975]

Apart from not having removed the structures, letting the area grow wild might be the best thing they can do for the environment.

I still fantasize about redeveloping the area as a nighttime haunted waterpark. Mind you, I'd want nice filtered and treated water for it.

Using a drone is also illegal at Disney.

Using a drone is also illegal at Disney.

Either way, he'll probably be banned. But most people that like to do that kind of thing don't really care. Now if Disney presses charges...that's an entirely different ballgame.
