Signs of progress have peeked over the trees in Fantasyland to reveal some updates to the hills of Toon Town!

Guests who visit the resort next year might notice something different about the cast member uniforms. A new nametag, will feature a character chosen by the cast member themselves from a list of hundreds of characters offered by Disney.

Tomorrowland has become a little more constructionland as walls have gone up around a few areas of the land. The walls are still up around the entrance area, covering a small building, the Buzz Lightyear and Star Tours FastPass area is also behind walls.
