Sounds like a paint job. Wonder if they will drain it out during this refurb, but I kind of doubt it given that it is really only 10-11 days.

Didn't they do the same thing last year about the same time? I sort of remember thinking that perhaps they would be giving It's a Small World the holiday overlay like at DL, but then it reopened with nothing added.

If they were to do something like that in WDW they would probably need at least a month closure, a little more for the first year, to install all the changes.

True, and I don't think they will do the holiday overlays because of the diversity of the visitors to WDW.

You don't have to tell him that it's closed. You can still threaten him with it. He won't find out :lol:

The new Starbucks Fountain View officially opens tomorrow. All of the walls that were surrounding the building have been removed. Here are some photos of the outside:

Ooooooohhhhh!!!! I'm so excited!!! :D It's about time Disney offered a good cup of coffee!!! We are coffee nuts, we bring our own and brew it in our room every morning. Becoming more difficult since they went to those silly coffee makers with the pre-packaged coffee pouches. We always have to call the desk and they have to locate a real coffee maker for us! :lol:

Does anyone have pics of the Starbuck's on Main St. USA?! I'm hoping they have a cool mug I can purchase in Dec!
