Let’s move to Adventureland to see the latest pics of the Indiana Jones temple currently being rebuilt in real stone. It’s still supposed to reopen at the end of May.

But, hey, which way to the temple? Kathmandu? Zanzibar? New Guinea? Let’s take the Kathmandu direction…

There’s a new addition in Adventureland. Carl Fredricksen and Russell, the two characters from the film UP, can be seen near Colonel Hathi’s Pizza Outpost. The figures are the same as those at Tokyo Disneyland.

Let’s hop over to the Walt Disney Studios real quick. Note the huge billboard strategically placed so guests arriving from both parking lots can’t miss the fact that the new Ratatouille attraction will open on July 10th!
