The Pixar Play Parade sign at the Mickey & Friends Tram Station is getting some work done

A copy of the Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters mural has been added to the Segway Experience in Innoventions. Talk about originality!

Here’s a better look at the new Build Your Own Lightsaber stand inside Star Traders

The exit waterfall at the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage is getting some extensive work done

The hot dog/turkey leg stand opposite Toy Story Midway Mania is to be known as Don Tomas

Luke, I did notice the contruction at the Harbor Blvd. entrance, but I also noticed some other construction going on a few days ago that I was wondering what you knew about. I saw this construction being done next to the Grand Californian in DCA. Are they making the hotel larger or is this where the Ariel attraction is located? I’d been watching the construction of the new Mercantile shop and until the sign went up I thought that was going to be the Ariel attraction, so now I don’t know where this is located. Do you know?

The construction you see by the Grand Californian is indeed an expansion of that hotel, Disney Vacation Club units actually.

The Little Mermaid attraction will be going into the current building for Golden Dreams, even though it will be expanded beyond recognition.

It’s not the most popular attraction ever, but it gets ok crowds by DCA’s standards.
