Three large tree trunks have arrived this week, taking up position on the right side of the mountain. There are connectors throughout the trunks to attach branches.

At the main entrance, work is underway on new walkways and a small elevated structure. We also get a clear view of the new Malaika Favorite mural.

Magic Kiingdom's Tiana's Bayou Adventure was said initially by Disney to open in late 2024, but recent wording from Disney has dropped the "late." There may be hope for a slightly earlier-than-anticipated opening.

So does anyone know if the mist will be water a fogging system

I saw Everest in its Glory Days! Full mist, full motion on the yeti, even the bird on a stick! The mist effect was really cool.

Well at the top of Everest you are supposed to be pretty much in the clouds, and there was an elaborate misting system installed to cover the peaks with dense mist, visible from the ground and on the ride. The mist system had all kinds of issues, including corroding all kinds of systems, and was permanently deactivated.

Some might call it a mist opportunity... I'll take a self imposed 24 ban on this thread sorry.

Wait what?! I've never heard of that. Regarding Tiana, I am happy to wait to ride to see how it all comes together. I still have a lot of faith in this ride. I did LOVE that brief view of the park right before the drop, but you get a similar view earlier in the ride which is also quite nice.

I suppose so since I never knew mist was supposed to be there. That really DOES make it a crime that it was never repaired.

I was going to comment this but you beat me to it.

I wouldn't mind the mist at all, especially when going through it on a hot day or night. The real concern is how long it will be around. Sorry but it's a valid concern. It was a crap shoot getting the mist and projection in POTC. You never knew when it was going to work.

The biggest mist crime has to be at the top of Expedition Everest.

I can believe that. How often was the mist working in POTC before they decided to stop doing it?

Well, that's one motivation to keep the mist working

I think maybe we finally know this weird bar is for the mist then I guess?

And I think the vast majority of guests will be more preoccupied with the 50 foot drop in front of them than the realization that their two second view became a one second view lol.
