The Pixie Hollow water looks just like the water at Disney Springs in florida. What I need is benches around that Pixie Hollow water area so that I can sit and enjoy that atmosphere. That water looks incredible, for a change I am giving Disney major kudos. That looks amazing. Water is a vibe that is so missed these days with new lands and attractions
You mentioned breakdowns. The last time I was there my friends phone slid out of her bag on Indiana jones and they shut the ride down and they had her look through each car as it came through the queue. And they said a lot of “breakdowns” are actually them having to stop the ride to look for a guests belonging. And my friend had Indiana shut down for like 15 minutes. Thought this might interest you and might explain why Indy shuts down so much. I never knew until it happened to my group personally lol
The park is getting so much better! Loved seeing all the changes on this past trip from Dec 12-15. I saw you at the train station on Friday but I didn’t want to bug you from working. I wanted to be respectful. Thank you for these construction updates! I wish you, Liz, and Sophia a happy holiday! 🤗🤗☃️☃️❄️❄️🎄🎄🎅🎅
With the French fry rocks gone and the new Pixie Hollow, it definitely brings new life into the entrance of Tomorrowland. This was an update that needed to happen.
Good point about the kinetics of moving water. The fountains that used to be at the entrance of Tomorrowland, now converted to planters, are a reminder of that. The 2 tall pillars that once stood at the entrance of TL in the MK & had waterfalls were another. Of course, the large Fountain of Nations, once in EPCOT's central plaza, is a 3rd example. By contrast, the 2 fountains added to the moat of DL's castle don't seem to fit the theme. Maybe if they were just one-spigot geysers instead of a daisy format that might work better.
We love Pixie Hollow and we're happy it's back! Me and my granddaughter love all of the fairies and watch the movies and make time to visit them on every trip!! 🧚♂️ 🧚♀️
Looks like the foundation from the House of the Future (1957-1967) is now an ivy-covered planter in Pixie Hollow! I remember walking through that house when I was about 10, and wanting the cool, futuristic kids' bedroom. Thanks for the great content, David! Always fun to walk around the park with you and see what's new.
I agree that a big elaborate fountain show is not required to create charming moments. The simple jets suffice for meditative white noise. Reminds me a little bit of the fountains at the entrance to Disneyland Paris in front of the hotel, Fantasy Gardens.
5:14 the new arch seems to pop more. It's a completely different color than the surrounding stone. Happy they made the sene look the same as before 7:30 the sign looks good...the hanging herbs...and that's about it 😅 9:31 big oof to Disney with breakdowns in both World and now Land for this ride 😬 17:18 that is beautiful actually! I'm trying to remember where things were before. I remember when it was Ariel and changed to Tink. So happy to see that little corner still active. So happy it didn't become DVC!
I am so glad to see Pixie Hollow get some love and closer to reopening. I adore meeting Tink and her fairy friends and have missed it on our last few trips to the resort. Its always a highlight for us. Was hard to see if all the fairy figures are still out there in the water aside from Rosetta?
Big Thunder was open Thursday afternoon! Wednesday morning I saw the water in pixie hollow, so I figured it was close! I hope they cover the carriage house in vines / ivy to hide it some, it stands out way too much.
Yes! Not only would artificial ivy cover a lot of the gigantic boring roof, making the building seem smaller and less like a "pre-fab shed," it would contribute to the wild, mystical, 'unconstrained-by-civilized-norms' Madame Leota vibe. These kinds of storytelling design elements work in subtle ways to convey a vibe. Right now the building has absolutely no vibe.
We were there all last week and noticed all the changes you mentioned that unveiled on Friday. We were having lunch at Bengal BBQ and Jungle Cruise had been closed all day. Suddenly it opened and we had almost no wait.
Imagineering is on a roll in that park. Space Mountain blue lights, Mansion queue, Tree House, Toon Town, and now Pixie Hollow. I’m all for leaning in to quality of life improvements. Let WDW invest in big flashy new rides that replace iconic but low traffic spaces.
We were there yesterday and I caught a picture of some artists staining/ antiquing the frames on the doors and windows around Madame Leota. It had fabric stantions around it
This is great. However, unfortunately they used a "fake wood grain" siding material and in some cases they placed identical fake-boards right on top of each other (so all the supposedly-organic wood grain lines up and showcases the fake-ness). Typically an installer would vary and stagger the placement of such fake patterns replicating a natural texture -- but that didn't happen on this project. (Look under the south lantern right on the front facade for an example of this). The reason I mention this is that any dry-brush shadowing/highlighting of the "wood grain" (which is what this building needs) will showcase this installation mistake and cheap material even more.
David talking about water feature reminds me of all the cool water features that use to be in malls than they removed them all! That's when malls declined! #bringbackthewater!
Yep, same scanners we have in Paris! And the screen with your photo also shows whether you have a reservation or not. Yours are a bit more up to date as ours has the scanner down below like at airports. 😊
With the Haunted Mansion gift shop, maybe they are trying to mix the theme of Bayou Country with New Orleans square, since the land transition is right there. Not successfully, but when I look from that point of view, it does seem to fit the Bayou Country refurb. My husband also noticed, very similar to the Pooh attraction barn. In Pooh Corner their is another roof that as that same pitch style.
Can’t wait to be in one of those lines and the family of 6 in front of me has their printed out tickets and the scanner won’t read it or they didn’t print the barcode part. We’ve all been behind that. Or at least I have many times.
Madame Leota's really looks so close to Walts Barn the Carolwood and the one in Marceline, Missouri. It might have gotten a scarier peak tweek but it really smacks Walts barn.
Can you imagine Pixie Hallow being DVC? That would have been a crime. I want even more fountains and lights on water features in DLR. Let's plumb back up the fountain ⛲ from Magnolia Park that is now in the HM Queue. That would give great water sounds, and picture it running and lit at night there in the queue ❤
i've become a semi regular at the downtown disney stage. tomasina and the 80z all stars are great reminders of nights at tomorrowland terrace.,and bands like the doo wah riders and the ashes have become new favorites as well. it's a way to get some of that old TT magic outside the park. the 80z all stars also perform under the name "off the cuff". same guys just not full on 80s music and costumes. the ashes are led by the guitarist who used to play with elvis impersonator scot bruce. i'm hoping more of the old TT bands will start showing up.
With the Jungle Cruise .. the one thing different with the tiger .. they took out the bottom Crock .. one less crock now. There was one on the bottom step.
I was walking past the Pixie Hollow on 12/14 and saw some people hand painting some of the wooden posts in there near the meet and greet area. So looks like they are doing more work on that area which would explain it not being open until next year.
13:18 the Tiki Room needs a lot of love hopefully before May. The effects on most gods outside don't work. Also I noticed a lot of the flowers just sit there or are leaning. For being an attraction that Walt built it's appalling that it doesn't get cared for
FreshBaked. David, It's nice to see Disney doing and fixing little maintainance area's around the park. The Tiger "scene" is back looking just as good as it ever did. I note the large crocodile at the very front of the scene has swum away. At one time Walt wondered if they should plus this scene by giving some animation to the crocodile's. I.E. move heads, tails and open their mouths. Also he was thinking about adding a couple of extra scenes (?) to the "Jungle Cruise in early 1966." "Pixie Hollow" looking cleaner brighter no longer an after thought to this side of the Castle. It's a pity they could'nt put in some lighting for the Pixie's. We need to get Sofia over there to give it the once over, she knows her Pixie's. Cheers, Chris Perry.
It's strange that Disney decided to go with their "Go Away Green" for the coloring on a the Somewhere Beyond shop. You don't want people to ignore it and look past it which is the intended use of that color. You want to use bright and distinct colors so it draws peoples eyes to the shop. A brick motif would have been better to stand out and also fit in with the theming of the exterior of the mansion.
I agree that the gift shop doesn't look like it belongs. It looks like it could be used in Frontierland. I know you have excitement for what is up and running now, but when I return in February, I will still have It's A Small World, Haunted Mansion, Grizzly River Run, and who knows what else, to be down. Then throw in the breakdowns, the "taking a break" downs, and there isn't much left to be excited over. I know I wouldn't be going again if it wasn't for my grandkids.
18:15 - I do pond cleaning and have a couple of my own ( big ones, 35,000 gallons ). I can almost guarantee you that blue pond will not remain like that for long, maybe a month or two, so photograph it now. The previous pond wasn't green because they painted it that way. It started blue as well. The water is like a big magnifying glass and once the algae starts ( inevitable ) the water will turn green as will the basin's surface. Even if you drain it, all subsequent refills will be green unless you completely scrub or resurface it. I'm not trying to be negative, only telling everyone to get their pictures of that blue water now.
13:10 Whoa, David! I don't think you can say that "Disney" cares about investing in the parks. What I believe we are seeing specifically is the local management of the Disneyland Resort taking care of their flagship park and preparing it for their 70th Anniversary celebration. All you have to do is go to Walt Disney World to see that Bob Iger cares more about the Cruise Lines than the theme parks. 😢
Having worked Disney attractions for 9 years I can agree that they are sprucing things up for the big 7-0 celebration. Then it will go back to looking run down. It seems to be the way Disney does things today
Madam Leota’s shop looks just like the carriage houses in New Orleans. It goes well with the manor house. It looks very New Orleans. The decor is not finished.
The color of the old Tiger Arch seemed more realistic and matched the other stone in the scene...now it has a soot-black look. I also miss the big crack at the top that made its look ancient and...perilous. Did they remove a column out in the water too?
@@elliestevens9204 I know there are folks out there who will say "So what?" but what we expect from Disney is that all the thematic details will be attended to, they will do everything they can (within reason, and this is within reason) to take our imaginations on an adventure and let us believe we are in a real place where consequential things could happen, that they will use every opportunity to nudge our emotions in the desired direction for the experience (in this case a dose of suspense), that all the "plussing" and storytelling will be there. That's "what"! I make this comment as a wake-up call to Imagineering, to the parks management, to the company executives. If you don't understand the possibilities of themed entertainment and the lost potential going on, too often lately, you need to step aside, or be moved aside. And I realize that may be harsh, but I know there are generations of Imagineers who would agree, who witness the legacy being squandered in small ways and large.
I judge the condition of Thunder Mountain entirely on the smoke explosion effect and if it's working. The HM shop barn thing is appalling and I can't believe even just to be cheap that something that hideous and tacky has been placed in that space. Now fans will hate it until it's removed like the french fry rocks.
David is there room for a third shop to the right of D Lander or does D Lander take all that space to the end? I seem to vaguely remember talking about that retail area being for 3 stores during construction.
I'm not sure but for the tiger scene, it looks like the old one is slightly sagging and I don't know if the cracks are meant to be there at the top. They may have had to change it due to a crack in the arch? If left alone it may have collapsed eventually? I notice on the new one there are no cracks so maybe it wasn't a design choice but wear on the old one? Hard to say without an early original of the previous one.
Hey freshbaked! Is magicband confirmed for the new entrance turnstiles?? I would love to get more use out of my magicband! I recently stayed at the Disneyland hotel, and I know you can use your magicband for the hotel locks, but I wish it was available!
The big alligator by the waters edge is missing too
It seemed really obvious in the side by side haha.

Seeing at least the fountain back and running in Pixie Hollow makes me happy! I really like the bright colors as well.
With the French fry rocks gone and the new Pixie Hollow, it definitely brings new life into the entrance of Tomorrowland.
This was an update that needed to happen.
They need to fix the broken features on Tom Sawyers Island. A great place for kids! The only place they don’t need to stand in a line!
Yes! I was just about to say the same
Pixie Hollow looks like something that should be in the Bahamas. So clear and colorful.
Just went through the new turnstiles this morning!
Are they letting guests use their magicband+ to scan in?
@ I didn’t see anyone using it, based on the looks of it though i believe they should be.
@ that’s awesome! Thanks!
That pixie area just beautiful. They’re really making smart flower and plant choices to conserve water.
Ive never seen that much water in the BTMR queue. It can only remember it being a trickle for ever.
Once you all get used to the new gates and how fast you’ll get in you’ll love it

what wonderful progress! love when there are not many closures to discuss. now if they can just get on a good roll with tiana’s bayou adventure. 😅
Good morning, fresh bake happy hump day

I would have filmed more at TMRR, but I was getting told the lines moving, lets go....
There is also 1 less crocodile in the tiger scene too unless it has changed that long ago
The big crocodile is missing from the bottom step at the tiger arch
Yep, same scanners we have in Paris! And the screen with your photo also shows whether you have a reservation or not. Yours are a bit more up to date as ours has the scanner down below like at airports. 😊
Been through the house of tomorrow. Was fun and a lot like houses today!
Now David doesn't have to take that ride that made him dizzy to see over the wall into Pixie Hollow!
Rode Big Thunder yesterday. Seems much more smooth and MUCH more quiet. And seems slightly faster...
It looks fantastic. I can’t wait to see it
I wish downtown Disney still had a movie theater
I’m going to be there today!!! So excited!!! 2 year old’s (almost 3) first time!!

Great job. 👍🏻😀
The new giftshop is the same style as Walt's barn. It would look better related to the railroad.
Thinking the HM gift shop looks like Winchester mystery house carriage house.
Great updates today, Fresh Baked!
i've become a semi regular at the downtown disney stage. tomasina and the 80z all stars are great reminders of nights at tomorrowland terrace.,and bands like the doo wah riders and the ashes have become new favorites as well. it's a way to get some of that old TT magic outside the park. the 80z all stars also perform under the name "off the cuff". same guys just not full on 80s music and costumes. the ashes are led by the guitarist who used to play with elvis impersonator scot bruce. i'm hoping more of the old TT bands will start showing up.
last night, monday was packed there!
With the Jungle Cruise .. the one thing different with the tiger .. they took out the bottom Crock .. one less crock now. There was one on the bottom step.
I hope those new gates are open by the time we visit later this month! I know it's kind of silly but I'd be excited to try them out.
I want to see Pixie Hollow at night! I wonder if they added cool lighting?
I was walking past the Pixie Hollow on 12/14 and saw some people hand painting some of the wooden posts in there near the meet and greet area. So looks like they are doing more work on that area which would explain it not being open until next year.

Wonder how the gates would work for exit. 🤔
Good stuff
Looks like the new turn styles have electronic Open / Exit signage looks good
It's seems like some of it is done at Disneyland David, thank you for the update

Indeed they could have used brick on the gable end or as a foundation to tie the structure to the Haunted Mansion.

Yes, you don't need to change everything digitally. The old classic signs look just fine.
The new arch has a new overhang on the top front.
Hi David on jungle cruise it looked like they took out the brick puller there buy the lion
Hey Fresh Baked!!
How is that Tomorrowland entrance wall and Adventureland entrance fence?
The money was for the tiger and arch. A simple construction permit search would have told you this $600,000 jungle cruise refurb for that scene
you forgot to mention the Aligators or Crocodiles hunting the Tiger. in the Jungle Cruise.
FRESHBAKED IS disneyland!!
Love when David brightens Monday mrning.
FRESH BAKEDDDD
I remember King Triton at/near Pixie hollow…
It’s interesting how exciting clean ponds can be. Kind of sad that that’s the bar. 🥴 Glad they did it, but man…
Do not forget Small World will close in January to go back to classic Small World
I judge the condition of Thunder Mountain entirely on the smoke explosion effect and if it's working. The HM shop barn thing is appalling and I can't believe even just to be cheap that something that hideous and tacky has been placed in that space. Now fans will hate it until it's removed like the french fry rocks.
Landscaping wise, a lot of what Disney is doing is for water conservation, compare the trees that are being replaced old vs new!
Would like to hear if you like the Pocket Osmo 3
Do the new electric turnstiles also have a slot to slide your phone in like the Lightning Lane stations?
We were there Thursday and they started letting people on Big Thunder around 3
David is there room for a third shop to the right of D Lander or does D Lander take all that space to the end? I seem to vaguely remember talking about that retail area being for 3 stores during construction.
Thanks David! Did you notice that the crocodile (or alligator?) did not return in the tiger scene? I wonder if it will come back at some point?
I didn’t at first but saw it later
Big Thunder was Down for a LONG time the next day Sat 12/14! And when are they going to fix the water shooting out at the dinosaur fossil bones?!
Moving water is the best of all of creation?. How do you know it was created
Way in the back past Pooh's Corner, I noticed a waterfall that i wasnt sure if ever there before. anyone?
Always been therefore. Hidden gem that spot
I'm not sure but for the tiger scene, it looks like the old one is slightly sagging and I don't know if the cracks are meant to be there at the top.

I'm surprised that Small World is not scheduled to be closed for post Christmas refurbishment like Haunted Mansion.
It’s offset by a week
The entire arch over the tiger is newly built and slightly smaller.
❤
Hey freshbaked! Is magicband confirmed for the new entrance turnstiles?? I would love to get more use out of my magicband! I recently stayed at the Disneyland hotel, and I know you can use your magicband for the hotel locks, but I wish it was available!
The time and place is about main Street not the turn styles
Bring back the water light show at pixie hallo
My sister be there next week
The Haunted Mansion gift shop will remain a nightmare.
Tiger scene is uncovered
Doors on both sides of the haunted mansion gift shop are new.
