Continuing from earlier today. Part 1 is here. And I guess really this is Part 2 of Part 2 since the post last week is really Part 1.
Basin is closed for refurbishment for another six weeks or so. Feed your bath salt addiction at the Basin in the Grand Floridian.
“arribas bros” is hiding back here too. It’s across from the side entrance to World of Disney.
Inside, you can watch a live glass blowing demonstration. As opposed to the taped glass blowing demonstrations, I suppose. I have never been to one of those before.
It’s vast. A lot of it is expensive, but there are some less expensive options.
A unique memento.
Or this $37,500 Cinderella Castle. I would buy it, but I feel like it would clash with my Hogwarts Castle.

I am still punishing you for not wanting to go to SeaWorld with me. So we are back to Downtown Disney to stare at menus all day. Part 1 from earlier this week is located here if you missed it. We’ll head over to Saratoga Springs if we have time.
It’s Saturday the 28th beginning around 2pm.
I had mentioned that the Bongos Sandwich Window comes with limited seating. This is it. Full even around 2pm.
You may recall the Paint Splatter Mickey Vinylmation from Part 1 as well. It sold, leaving this one with no friends.
Vinylmation really is the weirdest thing ever.
Shrug.
With heavier crowds on a Saturday afternoon, the Adventurers Hut is open.

Edit: The correct date for Winnie the Pooh is February 3rd, rather than March 3rd.
The daily analysis for all of August 2012 is now available.
Disney added Fantasmic on April 24th and 25th. This changed the recommendations during that week slightly. You don’t necessarily need to switch your days around if you’ve already made plans and dining reservations. As always, you can conquer Hollywood Studios with little stress if you arrive prior to Park opening and take care of Toy Story Midway Mania and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster first thing. You may also want to prioritize the Toy Story Meet and Greet and/or Phineas and Ferb.
I removed references to Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and Test Track in the daily analysis where applicable. Test Track is expected to close for refurbishment from April 15 – September 21. The official dates have not been announced. Currently, all we know is “April – September,” but it’s unlikely Disney would close the attraction during the very busy Easter weeks. Interestingly, Epcot is busier during the Food and Wine Festival than it is during Easter Week or most days over the summer, at least in 2011. That’s why the plan is to get it open and operational before the Food and Wine Festival starts at the end of September.
This website was mentioned in this Sunday’s edition of “Practical Traveler”in the New York Times. You can view the article here. In an effort to remain mysteriously sexy, I normally refuse all interviews and podcast requests. But this was done without my knowledge. If nothing else, it gives my mom something to brag about.
Word is that the Dumbo refurbishment/movement will continue through the end of March. You may recall that the original reopening date was February 17th and then March 12th. This has not yet been officially changed, but I am expecting it to be shortly.
Winnie the Pooh and Friends in Epcot will return to the Toy Soldier Shop on February 3rd. They are currently meeting at the International Gateway.
The Aladdin’s Magical Carpets refurbishment is no longer scheduled.
The Honey I Shrunk the Kids Movie Set Adventure refurbishment is no longer scheduled.
House of Innoventions is now expected to reopen as the Vision House in April instead of May.
Basin at Downtown Disney will be closed for refurbishment through mid-March.
The Contemporary Resort’s Pool Slide will be closed for refurbishment through February 17th. Pool remains open.
The Piano Pool at All-Star Music will be closed for refurbishment from February 6 – March 2.
The Meadow Feature Pool Slide will be closed for refurbishment from February 6 – March 2. Pool remains open.
The Grand Floridian’s Pool Slide at the Beach Pool will be closed for refurbishment from February 6 – March 2. Pool remains open.
The Port Orleans’ Resort’s Ol’ Man Island Feature Pool will be closed for refurbishment from February 6 – 8.

You may remember a Mickey Mouse shirt from a few days back from this post.
With the very coy subtitle, “What does it mean?” Apparently it means that the shirt is no longer for sale. Basically, the shirt is based on an album cover from a band called “Joy Division.” Unfortunately, the lead singer of the band committed suicide in 1980 after a long battle with epilepsy. The name of the band also comes from Nazi lore. I don’t recommend looking it up. The shirt has been pulled from theme park shelves and is no longer for sale online.
Whoops.
