Here is the latest look at the progress on transforming Splash Mountain into Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom.

At the top of the mountain, the tree stump has now been completely removed, leaving quite a large space surrounded by scaffolding.

Moving to the bottom of the mountain, Imagineers and construction crews are working on new rockwork at the splash-down of the flume.

So does the DVC one require a hotel stay or not? This is confusing. It says members plus number of guests on reservation, but doesn't outright say that you need a reservation. I'm wondering if my wife and son can fly down just for the day and wing it. We are (blue) DVC but he can't be on the contract as a minor.

One day of CM previews? I did say previews would be limited but this is really limited.

There was a blurry view of one in the back of one of their promo videos

The 18th and 20th are now gone for MK.

Am I reading correctly...if you are an AP, you could conceivably get a VQ each day of the preview period and ride once per day? They aren't limiting it to once per AP like they did when you signed up for a specific day/time? If so...that seems maddeningly foolish to do.

It's strange that Naveen hasn't been getting much focus in the promotion for this retheme, isn't it? We haven't even seen any of his animatronics yet.

And if you want to experience a terrible reservation system, say no more than trying to get into any DVC preview.

I have been as critical as anyone of Disneys actions the last few years, but I, like most, am really hoping for a home run on TBA. I look forward to everyone’s early reviews!

I am beginning to think they simply do not want to pay to scale up their servers when the need to and just let this happen every time.

I personally think to avoid complaints like this, Disney should make the ride affinity group only. Unless you're a CM, AP, or DVC member, you can't ride ever. For ease of use, they can have Casting, Vacation Planning and DVC Sales Guides stationed outside ready to help guests join one of the eligible affinity groups.

So we don't care about Tiana? ;)

It appears June 13, 14, 16 and 17 are currently unavailable for new park reservations at Magic Kingdom.

First time this year that a good to go day might actually have some value to a passholder, and only as a means of compensating for Disney's incompetent IT.
