Walking through the park at night is enchanting.

Walking through the park at night is enchanting. 

Both times we were at Disney World last Feb. were during nighttime hours and it's and there's just something extra special about it. SDC is the same way and more late nights outside of Christmas would be welcomed. We did Epcot, AK and Studios during the day outside of catching Famtastic and the Epcot pyro show want to see AK at night.

I think we've mentioned this before, but this year's update of the google maps imagery really shows the progress on the infill project behind the maintenance area. It's been a slow project that they seemingly add to as they have additional fill. It's been an obvious dump site since 2009, but since 2013 they've really amped up, even after Outlaw Run construction was complete.

Seems a little strange to me, since they have room to expand the maintenance area in other places, and it would take an enormous amount of fill to level that valley enough to be useful at that elevation, but of course they have filled in valleys before...

So, seasons passes are on sale now so should we be seeing some sort of announcement for next year or will the changes for next year be so minor that an announcement won't be necessary? Swoosh has said next year would "lead up" to a huge 2017 so I wonder what could lead up.

Ahhhem...... that's what it looks like from this vantage point.

Basically, it looks like next year is an "upkeep" year. They've added some additional one-day "holidays" (celebrating Mother's and Father's Days) to the Fest calendar. So definitely seems like a "we're getting prepped for 2017" year.

If there was anything else to announce, they would have done so by now.

They decided to do it all in 2017 instead of some of it next year.

Whatever is done this winter will be subtle, and not worthy a "BIG" anouncement, but you will see some changes next spring, 

But hold on to your britches......Sounds like Something is coming in 17 and there will be some big changes in the park.

Did anyone else notice the ribbon under the SDC image in the Season Pass page?? It says Americas Celebration of Family? Is that a clue?

NIce catch.  No I didn't notice that,  checked website, none of the logos there have been changed yet,,

[Joy]

Well, they added the Mother's and Father's Day events, so that might be what that little motto is tying into.

Why do "big changes" make me nervous rather than excited? Anybody else feel this way?

The fear of the unknown is always a big deal
