As we made our way to the park, we noticed a few new blue Walt Disney World road signs that replaced the classic red and purple. One of the signs near the ones we found replaced last week by Disney’s Animal Kingdom point to Disney’s Hollywood Studios and ESPN Wide World of Sports.

We spotted the train again filling up at the station in Storybook Circus. It backed into the station, moved forward and backed up again before we set off.

Splash Mountain was down for most of the day today, although we feel like it wouldn’t have had a very long line anyway. Usually when the temperature drops, guests are less likely to want to get wet.

As we made our way out of the park, we stopped by Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room to see the newly refurbished sign. A portion of the flowers along the bottom were missing and the red is more vibrant today.
