Hyperspace Mountain looks pretty cool. Love the new light effects they added and riding with the iconic score:

It surprises me that they are already adding finished pieces. It looks like we'll start seeing a lot more rock work early next year.

Looks great - good enough to bring to Florida and keep year round.

Looks like pre-fab offsite then delivered in.

Not entirely Disney related in terms of guests, but cast members are creating a memorial backstage of the France pavilion after the attacks yesterday. I know some people were talking about potentially bring flowers today, and cast members are being asked to take them backstage to this memorial so to not overwhelm any onstage areas.

Just a heads up for anyone who may have been wondering. Carry on

They've also lit the tower tonight as the French flag.

Maybe I'm the only one, but I have to say that Disney Springs really doesn't interest me much now...other than the big Disney Store, it's much like any other huge shopping area now. And most of what IS in the big Disney Store is in most of the other stores all over the property.

Of course, my opinion may be influenced by the fact I live only about 25 miles from the Mall of America, so if I want a BIG shopping experience, I can go there whenever I want to.

Add to that, the fact that I really did like going to the OLD Downtown when there were other Disney attractions there like Comedy Warehouse, New Year's Eve stage shows, and Adventurer's Club...but like I said, maybe it's just me.
