3/24 Characters in Flight Testing, Animal Kingdom Lodge Villas Update

Hi everyone!

Today I was at Downtown Disney and found out that the Characters in Flight balloon was up, so I spent quite a bit of time getting photos and video – from boats and from land.

I took a variety of photos and videos of the balloon, from different angles so you can see the different characters around the balloon.  They include Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Aladdin and Mary Poppins!  From what I understand, an official Disney site said that the name has changed – it hasn’t.  Characters in Flight is sponsored by Aerophile, but Aerophile isn’t the official name of the attraction.  You can also see some of my photos of the Paris balloon attraction, Panoramagique, on my Disneyland Paris resort photo walk here!

Here is an advertisement on a bus for the Bay Lake Tower (which is one of the places I planned to go today until I found out the Characters in Flight balloon was up!)

Here is the Jambo House sign at the Animal Kingdom Lodge:

And a few photos of the construction, although there aren’t as many changes outside as there are inside now:

 

The new guard shack is almost ready, and has gates installed now:

And McDonalds, which is open but under renovation:

 

What a fun day! There is so much to see going on at Walt Disney World now.
