Pandora model on display at Orlando Visitor Center

http://www.orlandoparksnews.com/2017/11/avatar-land-model-on-display-inside.html

Orlando Visitor Center worker: And if you look there in the model you will see the entrance to one of the most amazing and positively reviewed attraction in Walt Disney World - Flight of Passage. The standby line for the ride starts right out side the doors to this Visitor Center ... and yeah, you have not shot at fast passes if you are here now looking for things to do on your vacation in Orlando

Wow, some dessert parties are going for $89/pp?!

yeah, appears to be $10 more than the current Star Wars parties (which are $69 or $79 depending on date)

Photo Update

DCA Update – Pixar Pier, Is It Enough?

Really glad to see they aren't removing Mickey from the fun wheel, which was my only concern. I think the whole thing is pointless, but it sounds like it will bring a new Inside Out ride which is something... and maybe the Incredibles mods will be cool. The casing water effect sounds like it's supposed to be Dash "running" across the water on the family raft. If it follows you the whole way on the launch that could be cool. Screamin is fine how it is though. It rivals Everest for my favorite Disney coaster.

Eh, just wait until Sleeping Beauty Castle gets retrofitted to look like Stark Tower

Stark Tower aka Avengers Tower was sold in movie canon so no worries there. Its old news MCU wise.

Edison has deleted the tweets saying they will open on the 1st so not sure what that means really.

yeah, the January 1st part was right, but they are hedging their bets on the 2018 part

 

[Redcon1]

Well it’s definitely cheap and quick considering it will open next summer.

And lazy compared to TSL at DHS.

Sometimes I think some of these park executives spent too much of their youth at Six Flags.

 

[skier_pete]

SO heading out tomorrow to the parks. Will try and capture as many construction photos as possible, and also maybe video from the AP event for the DHS projection show if it actually happens. I will try and post some stuff here if I can, but the DIS doesn't make it super-easy to post pictures from mobile devices.
