Is the orignal image of better quality where you can make out the small text?


...nevermind I read your explanation later in the thread.

The train has reopened at MK however some slight changes to the station were made. The word "the" and the population were removed from the Main Street train station sign.

Wow, that was 20 mins with very little payoff

Skip ahead to 11:20 for when they actually go into Pandora but they only go just into it and you can't see very much. Barely can make out just one floating mountain (or "flying mountain" as the host said - along with like 10 other things he used the wrong term for)

The biggest thing out of this was seeing the entrance to the land. Otherwise yes not much in the video.

They also removed the population. Odd.

Yeah sorry I was referring to both the removal of the word and the population apologies if my post wasn't clear. Yes an odd decision for sure.

When I worked for Disney, the "The" was always contentious. I trained the Cast Members at the Disney Reservations Center. One thing we always emphasized was the use of proper nomenclature. Even if it was annoying, Cast Members always were to use the full official name of everything.

When I joined the company, I was told that the official name of the park was "Magic Kingdom". So when I started training, that's what I taught. However, some of my colleagues insisted that the "The" was part of the name, too.

(I still operate in the mindset that I must use the full name of everything. You'll never see an abbreviation in any of my posts on here. And when I write about resorts, I always use the full name. Although, I'll probably leave off "at Disney's Wilderness Lodge" when discussing Copper Creek Villas and Cabins.)

Thank you for that background. I think my point was more or less....why change the sign as in what prompted the decision to remove the items. At least with the word "The" I believe it's been there since the opening day (please correct me if I'm wrong). I believe the population was added in 1998? I could see them updating that not just elimating it all together..but I guess maybe they didn't want to continue on with that part (still odd but I understand that part more).

Let's not forget, these are the same people that changed DCA's name from Disney's California Adventure to Disney California Adventure. I've still never quite figured that one out.

Yeah many were hoping they would update the population not get rid of it altogether.

dumb question - what does the population number reflect?

I believe it once did reflect the number of guests who had been through the turnstiles.

Was the quality pretty good on the one you received? I'd love to get one this year but I hate it when the shirt starts getting rougher instead of softer.
