PHOTOS: Decorations, Photo Spots Appear for Incredible Tomorrowland Expo at Magic Kingdom

Um... yeah...

Some of that stuff (specifically signage) looks really cheap, like stuff made at Staples or whatnot.

Um... yeah...

They spared no expense (of their $300 budget)!
Seriously though the photo spots are neat - but the rest of that is so... basic.

For the life of me I can't think of what this is.

It’s at the stage near flame tree at AK.

LOL! Agreed; the photo spots will be fun! I could imagine some of the signage being really neat from the eyes of a child; however, the sign over the tomorrowland arch is rough, especially with the tomorrowland still partially visible. Not really good show.

So, after well over a month, this finally showed up. I love it, although I was hoping the design would be on both sides of the band, but it isn't.

Just saw the Lamplight Lounge has a drink called “Over Budget”. Is Imagineering/Disney trolling themselves?

When Tomorrow Land Terrace offers a a drink called "Phoning it in" you'll have your answer.

Discovery Island Carnival is ending June 16th.

This makes me so so sad! One of the best memories I have at Disney World EVER was watching the last show of the day and cast members from retail/food locations around the area dancing (quite well...they knew all the moves) with guests. It was such a perfect example of Disney magic, to me...pure joy and humans coming together and celebrating life! It will be missed!

I wouldn’t be surprised if they did work on the DHS one too. Otherwise I don’t see why the boats couldn’t go to it with just skipping the swolphin stop.

Any update on the progress with the boats with the Swan\Dolphin construction?

Wondering if it would be fixed by July 4th?

That’s not a parade that’s the mobile stages that sit in the hub during the day. They move them out before the fireworks.

they did not move it on Sunday when I was there, made it hard to watch the show. No good spots to stand to see it without huge places blocked.

Do FP+ riders still get to see Mr. Potato Head? Or is he just a part of the Stand-by line? (sorry, I have never been on this ride before.)

I hope they position him so you can see him in either line.

They must not have been working or something.
