July Update

I continue to enjoy going into the parks when I'm not working and checking out the construction sites. Yesterday I visited both Epcot and the Magic Kingdom. At MK, I rode the Peoplemover to see the new Tron roller coaster site.

In Epcot, work continues on the expansion of the France pavilion, and around the gondola system at the International Gateway.

Jenn is celebrating her birthday this week, so earlier today Jenn and I went to MK. Disney has started working on a swing bridge near MK. This will allow for a walkway from the park to the Grand Floridian, as the canal is used to store the Electric Water Pageant. 

Moonlight Magic at Animal Kingdom

 

Last week Jennifer got to do a behind the scenes tour of Rock N Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios. 

Last night we attended a DVC Moonlight Magic event in Animal Kingdom. We rode several rides, including an after dark Kilimanjaro Safaris. We stayed one night at Animal Kingdom Lodge. A friend of Jennifer's went with us.

We also got a free dinner and snacks, and met characters. It was a nice event.

Independence Day

Neither Jenn or I had a shift on the 4th of July, so we decided to celebrate the day in Epcot. Some of the characters were out in patriotic attire, like Chip n Dale.

Epcot has had a lot of work going on. In the front of the park work continued on the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster and the tram stop. We took a trip on the monorail to check it out.

There's also work going on between the Imagination pavilion and the Showcase Plaza.

That night there were special fireworks after Illuminations.
