Good stuff Tim. Thank you sir!

Anyone else have more info to share?

Bigbearsg · #4 (**permalink**) 07-21-2008, 07:32 PM

Don't see anything closed (that I would do) when I there in Dec.

WDBArnyVee · #5 (**permalink**) 07-21-2008, 07:42 PM

I'm keeping the information updated in the first post of the thread. So, nothing yet Greg, but it's early in our fact gathering here.

Caribbean Beach pool from Jan - Sept...I don't think it took that long to build the Panama Canal. They could build an entire new pool in less time...

PolynesianMedic · #7 (**permalink**) 07-21-2008, 08:28 PM

I have seen photo's from this refurb and it is AMAZING!! Well worth the time it has been taking.

If you've seen any of the pictures, you get the impression that they essentially did rebuild it. Much destruction and reconstruction.

We need to add Hall of Presidents refurb from Nov. 1, 2008 through at least Feb. 28, 2009, although it sounds like it will really end up being through July 1, 2009.

Anyone planning on attending the Bush is HOPing out of office Bash October 31st?

WDBArnyVee · #11 (**permalink**) 08-06-2008, 01:55 PM

Thanks Tim! I updated the Hall of Presidents info

Folks, try and find me as much info to add to this so that it can help our fellow WDBers with our trip planning!

PolynesianMedic · #12 (**permalink**) 08-16-2008, 05:20 PM

Updated dates for water park refurbs, as well as extended date of refurb for Hall of Presidents.

go2WDW · #13 (**permalink**) 08-19-2008, 12:40 PM

Sounds like the Liberty Square bridge refurb might be extended to Sept. 2nd, which means SpectroMagic will still be dark and the Dreams Come True will be running twice a day through that date.

go2WDW · #14 (**permalink**) 08-26-2008, 08:11 PM

Got a couple of new ones for you to add:

DHS:
Lights, Motors, Action!--refurb Sept. 11-24

Epcot:
Illuminations: ROE--Globe is on refurb for an undetermined time; extra fireworks and Inferno Barge burnoff are being used to fill the globe's absence (I'll get to see the globe-less Illuminations next week--should be interesting!)

WDBArnyVee · #15 (**permalink**) 08-26-2008, 10:47 PM

Thanks Tim! I've updated the first post with the info.

PolynesianMedic · #16 (**permalink**) 09-02-2008, 10:12 PM

Dates updated, and added Primeval Whirl refurb.

go2WDW · #17 (**permalink**) 09-03-2008, 11:08 AM

Liberty Square bridge is back open, so SpectroMagic is running again. That one can be taken off the list.

PolynesianMedic · #18 (**permalink**) 09-03-2008, 01:22 PM

Thanks Tim, and the Primeval Whirl bo bo was fixed.
