Great shots of the details on TSM since one is usually spinning and whizzing by and cannot see them well. I have always loved the theming at Muppet Vision...and was sad that the DCA version didn't have nearly the detail as DHS. (of course there's much less space at DCA as well)
I must also mention the AK pics...I love the nighttime pics and am sad that it sounds like we won't get to experience it anytime soon.

The EE pics were AWESOME! Not sure what to make of the crotch shot of the dino though...
P.S. As far as the little guy from Tangled goes, his name is Pascal (sp?) and I fell in love with him long before we ever saw the movie. There was an ornament at the Disney Store of him holding a paintbrush...too cute. Even after seeing the movie, he's still my fave character...though the horse is a close second.
I just liked the colors and lighting of that particular, um, well, crotch shot

I have another one that you probably will groan at that shows the lights that kind of look like milk teats! Maybe it was a combination of too little sleep and too much rum

My students have told me the horse in Tangled is quite the character.

Great pictures and trip reportage, everybody! It almost makes me feel WDW withdrawal (I look at the construction pics from the MK and reports of how crowded the park is since Toontown closed to cure myself)

When did Toontown close? It was still open when we were there two weeks ago. The station was closed but barnstormer, Mickey and Minnie's houses and the tent were all still running.

February 11th was its last day of operation. Since then, a wall has blocked guests from the entrance from Fantasyland and a double scrim has blocked guests from the train station.

And life's a little weird,

Weirdness is compatible with ours,
We join up with them and fall in
Mutual weirdness and call it Love.”

Well that is odd because I was in Toontown on February 15th.

Maybe it was really busy when you were there so they reopened it?

We got the trip reports from everyone except boilerbabe, who's been pretty much MIA since her WDW trip.

I was there on February 19th and it was pretty crowded for President's Day weekend and there were tall walls there. I really doubt they would have reopened it after it closed.

Can't wait to take my twin boys on their first trip to Walt Disney World! Planning on heading there sometime Feb-May 2014!

Maybe Sleepy's watch was still set on European time?

It's not that, Amy. Sleepy90 is from the UK, so I think the problem is that Sleepy90's TARDIS has a problem with getting the exact dates right. Needs to get that fixed some day.

You guys crack me up

No problem with the Tardis or the watch it was open on Feb 15th, we left on Feb 17th so I don't know what happened maybe they let me in for one last time and put the walls up that night who knows?

If you say so. But walls went up before MK opened on the 12th and the front line CMs were all being trained at their new locations.
Question: was the little covered playground near the train station still there?

Train station was closed and the walls were up there, can't remember seeing the little playground but Barnstomer was running. Now I'm starting to doubt myself maybe we did go before we went to see the Cheerleading nationals in which case it would have been the 11th but I'm almost certain it was after.
Oh no I'm turning into Dori

My oldest brother and I always joke, he is Dory and I am Dory Jr.

I can totally relate! I kept notes on my iphone this past trip so I could do my trip report, otherwise it would have been all photos with the caption, "we were at WDW!"

I know a CM who said his last day at Toontown was the 11th and was working at DHS the next day.
