All right I'm starting a new type of thread called State of the Disney Union. In here Ill be posting a whole picture collage of the good, the bad, and the ugly around a single Disney Park at a time, on a given day. My first post will be Disney's Hollywood Studios tomorrow. I think this will be an interesting project. My desire for this thread, if others should join in posting updates, is not to necessarily focus on construction zones except in portraying how they affect the park goer on that day. See you all tomorrow!

Small preview. I don't think I quite understood how big of an undertaking this could become. I think I might end up splitting Magic Kingdom into all of its respective areas.

In the process of uploading 200+ pictures. They'll all be available to view on my Flickr, as I'm not going to post all of them here.

Interesting idea! I love the pics of the Hollywood Studios entrance. I'm probably one of the very few who actually really likes the park... (

It's the closest thing Disney has to a park for the 14-36 crowd. My girlfriend's favorite park is also Hollywood Studios, because ToT and RRC

I understand that it's a "Studio" but its also supposed to be a theme park. Maybe others like seeing stuff like this but I don't especially like it to the level done here

I think the next logical park will be EPCOT. I'm aiming for sometime next week on that one. Hope you guys enjoy this concept as its quite a bit of work to actually do.

That's it for this round. I'm getting better at posting, and was able to power through this massive update in one go. If you want to go through even more shots you can find them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/82436014@N02/sets/72157632861746608/with/8509324052/

Great photos. Thanks. So makes me want to squeeze in a trip to EPCOT this March. Oh how I wish Disney sold out-of-staters evening tickets to EPCOT!
 
I've updated the first post with additional info that will help this thread moving forward. Especially as more updates are posted by myself and hopefully other users as well. Message me if you are going to do an update so I can keep it up to date.
