At Disney, Epcot preparing  for the Flower and Garden Festival (march 6th) The playground for kids in the Rose Garden is being set-up.

A new THINK exhibit near the front entrance of Innoventions west opened just a few days ago.

New bakery opened up at the France pavilion. The new bakery is larger with more seating and is located just behind the old one.  It is open for breakfast when the park opens at 9. The rest of World showcase will continue to open at 11.

This whole week through Sat. meet Donald Daisy Chip and Dale at Canada as part of the Limited Time Magic. Can't tell from this pic but the vid shows the snow falling.

Looks like Disney is continuing to add more of the scanners to the front of the parks

 At DHS. lights are slowly coming down as most of the WDW resorts and other theme parks have been for the last week.

Splash Mountain closed for refurb

Disney replaced guidemaps with new ones in the New Year. MK maps have Belle at the front and DHS of the Star Tours attraction. Kodak has been replaced with Disney Photo pass on the back of the maps and My Disney Experience app details on the inside fold.

A quick look at the Rapunzel area beyond Small World.... Looking good

Finally, the Main St Bakery has now closed to be transformed into a Starbucks opening later this year. A sign posted on the windows pointing guest to the Terrace for breakfast which offers a small selection of breakfast items.

Calendar Tab above has been updated with upcoming events. Heading to the parks soon? Double check ride closures/hours on each parks website ( links tab above)

Enchanted tales with Belle preview / Art of Animation Little Mermaid 9.14.12.

• For several days now, Disney is randomly giving park guest a preview of an area in the New Fantasyland that will officially open in December. Won't go into details and spoil it for anyone... I'm sure there are videos on Youtube you can find. Here are some pics from Enchanted Tales with Belle inside Maurie's workshop. 

Inside:

 

• Got a bookmark for participating and a photo-pass picture card.

• The area is just behind the new castle walls which was revealed a couple of days ago. The walls are already even added to the  park maps. Visiting soon? look for a cast members near the green construction wall. They let guest in as the queues inside gets shorter. Again, not guaranteed they will do this daily. We were let in around 3pm on this day and stopped letting guest in around 5pm. Ideal for younger aged kids.

Some pics of other things they are working on from Maurise's workshop queue... also ride tracks for the Snow White's mine train are going up.

Castle Dream lights are starting to go up also on Cinderellas castle. 

 Finally, the last wing to open at Disney's newest resort (Art of Animation). Little Mermaid.
