Yep. Structurally speaking, I don't know if most people realize how much the Haunted Mansion actually goes through every year due to the overlay. It's pretty rare that it gets any extended refurb because of the overlay ironically.

"Turntable show elements" is interesting... really nice that the attraction is getting so much work put in during this refurbishment.
It's almost like everything they didn't get a chance to do during that previous downtime, they're doing now.
It's smart to take care of necessary things while the front/side yard are all torn up. Knowing they're dumping this kind of money into the ride subdues the impatience of it being closed

Surprised no one has posted this yet, but as part of Pixar Fest, 50 Pizza Planet trucks in the form of easter eggs have been planted around DLR. Here is a comprehensive list of all the locations:

Thought I would share this. Rocket Rods and the strangest Disney parade I’ve ever seen. Also, they were really betting on Tarzan and Hunchback.
I'll admit to feeling real jealous of Disneyland's output! I still do find it incredibly strange that WDW doesn't do this stuff anyways, at least in parks like Hollywood Studios without the big once-in-a-lifetime energy that MK does. I get that they don't have to do it, and they don't need to keep things fresh in the same ways that Disneyland or Universal Orlando might have to. Disney World is too big to fail, so they don't need stuff like PixarFest to keep attendance moving.
But personally, I don't count that as an acceptable excuse. Disney World is the biggest in the game right now. They did Star Wars Weekends in MGM for a long time, still do their seasonal events around the holidays in Magic, EPCOT has festivals a majority of the year. We got the Frozen event in 2014 and the Incredibles event in Tomorrowland in 2018. They can and do make big festivals and events, we just never end up getting the incredibly cool stuff that Disneyland does. I think it's totally in WDW's capabilities and budget to get a Sid or Ernesto Meet and Greet around Halloween, or the Talking Dug suit, or Mickey and Minnie in High School Musical Wildcats outfits.
I get that they don't need that local support, but I think it's crazy to believe that an upcharge event with a solid lineup and reasonable prices wouldn't do absolutely incredible financially. Heck, last year Jollywood Nights was an upcharge event without a solid lineup or reasonable prices, and it was still pretty jam packed for a little while there.

In the parade with Mei's friends & 4*Town... Besides no Red Panda photo-op, it's a loss for no 4*Town photo-op too!
The lack of good 4*Town merch is sad lol.. I just want a lightstick, photocard, & maybe a mini-album release

It's Disney. They don't always make the smartest choices. Look how many years it took for them to convert "San Francisco Harbor" into San Fransokyo
