I was wondering about the tree too. I saw a video about it and they seemed to get it all placed & ready to go in just about 2 days. Maybe there are some structural problems or if needs a paint touch up in it's new area.

Also, has anyone posted the signs that are on the Fantasyland exp. walls yet? There are signs with a description of what's to come & art renderings of the new areas. I can probably track them down & post if they haven't already been posted.

You sure about that? I've seen weirder things than that with Disney security walking right past without even a glance.
We are all a little weird
And life's a little weird,
And when we find someone whose
Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

I'm thinking that as long as all they were doing was taking photos, and not actually trying to climb over the wall, it probably wouldn't have garnered much attention...

It was a thought to climb onto Mark's shoulders, but I'm just a bit too heavy to go up there. We practiced at the airport and the best we could do is getting my brother to hold me in his arms.

That would have made a cute picture! But probably not very helpful in seeing over the wall :(

I'm going tomorrow, so I'll see if there's an update & try to get some photos of those "storyboard" signs that are up on the wall.

Okay, so here are some photos of the art & wording that they've placed on the walls describing the new Fantasyland areas.

Here's the one for the Little Mermaid ride/area

Here's the one for the Beauty & the Beast area/restaurant

a closeup of the text

Here's the one for Belle's Enchanted Tales (obviously part of the B&TB area)

And as far as I know that's all of them but I didn't walk the entire expanse of the wall so there could be one more that I missed.

Sure!

The descriptions & art make the walls not seem so bad b/c you can visualize what's coming

I am getting nervous about going in Sept! I can deal with all the construction but I am traveling with families who are bringing their kids for the first time! With Small World already down that month, I would hate for them to not be able to do Dumbo either!!
