Still drought troubles?

[Kaitysmom]

Last time we visited WDW in late Feb, we noticed many of the water features in the parks were still closed. Fountains around Pirates of the Caribbean are dry and some were filled with plants. A waterfall was off, etc. For those visiting recently, is it still the same?

Anybody?

EPCOT, Studios and Animal Kingdom has their water on. I don't goto MK that often due to the crowds on weekends.

We had a wet winter, but the last few weeks have been quite dry. Yesterday was the first rain in around two weeks, and it only lasted about a half-hour. The way the water table works, we need rain every couple of days to keep out of a drought, and I believe that we are technically still in a drought. Hopefully our normal summer cycle will start soon... I don't want to have to drive through anymore brush-fire smoke.

The fountains in Adventureland, Ariel's Grotto, and Donald's boat are off at MK, but the Cinderella fountain, Cool ship, and the big granite sphere in Tomorrowland are on.

At Epcot, the kid fountains, Imagination fountains, Fountain of the Nations, American Adventure, France, and UK fountains are on, but the well in Morrocco is off.

At DAK, the fountains near Chakrandai Chicken Shop (ASIA) are on, but the leapfrog fountains in Camp Minnie-Mickey are off.

At Studios, the Hollywood Junction fountain is on, as well as the Singin' in the Rain umbrella, leaky hose in HISTK Playground and the MuppetVision fountain. However, the geyser near Min and Bill's, the fire hydrant on NY Street, and the water wall in the HISTK playground are off.

I think that if this summer ends up being wet, we may see all fountains running soon.

That would be great - I miss all the little details but understand that Florida has had a really rough time of it for the past couple years. Hopefully you won't have the terrible fires this year - thanks for the info.
