At Walt Disney World, the Build a Droid counter has opened, and a new Muppet display greets visitors in the Stage 1 store. More progress has been made on the castle wall in Fantasyland, and some construction and new display boxes in Adventureland hints at a rumored second interactive game (like Kim Possible) for just this land. The safari has undergone changes; there is no more narration and the campsite/truck have been replaced by grassy areas, soon to be home to zebras.
Universal Studios has added Cinematic Spectacular, a lagoon show that uses a waterfall for projecting images, colored fountains, searchlights, and fireworks to celebrate 100 years of movies. They’ve also outdone themselves with the Superstar Parade, a Disney-quality parade based around Universal characters like SpongeBob SquarePants and Despicable Me.
