Oh really? DLR had added about 29 Disney characters but I only know a few off the top of my head.

Quite true. I remember the Lion King and Alice in Wonderland from the YouTube video I watched of the "toonified" version of IASW....

I never even noticed Jiminey or Timon when I went with my best friend a long time ago. Good thing the photos help.

I guess they could add more characters to the DLR IASW as time goes on; such additions would not require an overhaul for their insertion.

I have a feeling that the various people who planned the construction are a bit miffed by the perfect weather. They were probably hoping for a normal cold overcast winter and instead got 80 degree days. :D

Splash is supposed to be closed until May? Wow! And those walls look like a freaking nightmare!
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.”
― Dr. Seuss

I'd actually enjoy a subtle Finding Nemo reference, even if I'm not the biggest fan of the movie*.

Just as long as it stops at "subtle reference."

*Biggest fan means I like it, just not as much as most seem to.

Sometimes Disney does subtle really well, sometimes, not so much :roll:

Splash and Matterhorn both have terribly long rennovations that are needed every several years, I never get why those two have such terribly long rehabs. Oh well, better to be safe than dead.

I wonder if Splash takes longer because it's a water ride? And there are a ton of audioanimatronics in that attraction! Space Mountain probably just takes longer because they are working in the dark :shock: :roll: ;) :lol:
