 Keystone Clothiers is reopen and looking great after a lengthy refurbishment. |

I was happy to see that Streetmosphere is alive and well in the Studios. We caught a number of impromptu acts -- here the members of the "In the Can" film studios shoot a scene. |
|
 The Jumping Fountains at the Imagination pavilion are still fun to watch. |
 Figment welcomes us to his house at the Imagination pavilion. |
 New Soarin' merchandise available near the entrance of the attraction. |
 My First School Bread in Norway -- what was I waiting for? |
Rehabbed Viking Ship is no longer a children's play area. |
 Construction walls are up already in several spots in World Showcase, even though the Food & Wine Festival doesn't start for more than a month. |
 Theater in the Wild in Animal Kingdom is now enclosed -- seems on track for the November opening of the new Finding Nemo show |

 Tomorrowland Countdown performs in front of Space Mountain -- I'm a sucker for a marching band of any kind. |
The "new" Disney Dreams Come True Parade has fresh music, but is basically the previous Share a Dream Come True parade sans snowglobes... plus some pirates. |
Speaking of Pirates... I could have sworn this was Johnny Depp at the new Pirate Tutorial -- this cast member was fabulous, Luv! |
|
The lobbies of the Walt Disney World Swan and Dolphin hotels sport fresh new looks -- new furnishings, brighter decor, updated lighting... and some of the work is still in process. |
