    No visible progress on the footer holes that were dug out from of Mermaid.
  • Page Number: 15
    They were working on the car, but we saw no test runs in our trip around the Fun Wheel

  • Page Number: 51
  • Page Number: 52

    A clip from the performance as the sun was setting
    A VW pulls out and leads the group to the Backlot (I was not in a good position for this and will have to visit again to re-shoot it).
  • Page Number: 74
    Signs guiding you around as you head to the Pier area.
    This walkway was off limits unless you had a Fastpass
  • Page Number: 75
    The traffic heading to the Pier was routed through the Wharf and over the bridge.
    It looks bad, but things were actually quite organized and easy to move around, you just had to be patient.
    The viewing areas were clearly marked with ropes or tape.
  • Page Number: 76
    The pre-show this week had a different hostess
    I was over by the swings, so we could barely hear the audio of the show. Wonder why it was not brought into our area..
  • Page Number: 77
  • Page Number: 78
  • Page Number: 79
    Show time
    From this angle and distance the fountains were extremely impressive.
    Also seeing the midst and other low level effects was great!
  • Page Number: 80
    Here is a short clip of the introduction.
  • Page Number: 81
    The video was un-recognizable for the most part, which is to be expected from this angle.

    The Nemo segment.
  • Page Number: 83

  • Page Number: 84
  • Page Number: 85

  • Page Number: 98
  • Page Number: 99
    This CM was really into it and had a long line following her around.
    The projections on the Hyperion were impressive.
  • Page Number: 100
    Not so much for their interactivity as their scale/motion/energy.
    The area that is captured for the Hyperion projection
  • Page Number: 101
    The area by Monsters is a dead zone.. you can walk there but there is no activity.. so here is heading back to the street.
  • Page Number: 102
  • Page Number: 103
    The screens show a mix of Disney and abstract film.
    The screen by the restrooms was blank
  • Page Number: 104
    Nothing going on with the screen above Playhouse Disney either.
    The Sunshine Plaza had lights going too.
