Avatar photos from Mako Madness

We didn't even bring the big zoom lens for our last trip. Maybe we will bring it in July, since I am planning on taking many more pics then. It will be interesting to see what Pandora and DHS look like then.

Pandora looks better with every photo update. I think DHS won't look like much in July.

Those pictures from Pandora look pretty cool. Can't wait to see the whole thing without the scaffoldings and such. And it's cool to see Judy and Nick being added. I'm really not a big fan of Move it! Shake it! Dance and Play it! but hey, still nice to see.

Hopefully they get a meet and greet instead.

I believe that is the side closest to the rainforest cafe.

Yep. They seem to be working from East to West on the facade work. Scaffolding has been down at this particular location since at least mid-February.

I think the PBS documentary combined with this one provides a balanced take on Disney the man, boss, and creative.

Thanks for sharing. I have only read one biography and just finished the PBS documentary tonight. I'll have to check out the video you shared next.

I've read Michael Barrier's "Animated Man" and "Project Future" by Chad Enerson. Anyone have suggestions on the next bio/memoir/book on Disney and/or Imagineering I should check out next?

I should have bought when it was down in February. I might as well make some money off them, considering how much they make off me

Just wait for Shanghai to hit the books. I'm betting that'll cause a temporary drop.

"Walt Disney: triumph of the American imagination" is probably the most complete bio of Walt I have read

"Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow: Walt Disney and technology". Has tons of quotes from imagineers and others and has counter-points to items raised in PBS documentary (so where that was a bit of negative spin, this one is on the positive side)

Rolls Krump's book "It's Kind of a Cute Story" is really good too

I would just like to wish everyone a Happy Easter if you celebrate it!

Happy Easter everyone!! My family has been in WDW for Easter. We were in DAK the other day and I noticed a fair number of walls have come down on the walkway toward Expedition Everest.

Tickets are now on sale for Disneyland Shanghai!

And apparently none of the Disney Shanghai websites are cooperating for people who want tickets.
