Hi! our last vacation was in may 2008. We are ready to get back in 2011 and are wondering if there is anything new to look out for in the parks, rides, etc?. Thanks!

At MK, Space Mountain refurbishment & interactive queue is complete and new queues for Winnie the Pooh & Haunted Mansion have been added. President Obama has been added to Hall of Presidents. Tomorrowland Transit Authority (TTA) has a new soundtrack & a new name - Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. They have brought back Main Street Electric Parade, but Wishes is essentially the same. There is a new castle projection show called The Magic, The Memories and You in the evening.

At DHS, was Toy Story Mania open for your last trip? This has been one of the more popular additions in years to Disney World. I believe American Idol opened in 2009 - they hold auditions throughout the day with a final show in the late afternoon/early evening. As well, the new Star Tours 2.0 is slated to open on May 20th. :mickey:

we really enjoyed the new space mountain and the interactive queue, I do miss the soundtrack from the tta but, the magic, memories, and you is a great show. Makes me want to be there all the time!

You know, we go quite often, so new attractions kind of run together.

I definitely second Toy Story Mania - it is great for all ages. My 85-year-old mother loved it!

The Kim Possible Mission in Epcot is fun, if you haven't done it yet.

The Block Party Bash "parade" In Hollywood Studios is really fun and lively.

There are also several new restaurants to try...

Is the "star tunnel" music still playing at SM?
