Allow myself to introduce... myself. I'm Josh, a guy who built a website - diservations.com - to celebrate my love of Disney. I'm a Universal novice, but I love VelociCoaster and Butterbeer. A musician in a previous life, I mostly design and code websites now.
Our "year in photos" article is coming later this week. Will a very shy Frank make the cut?

Avatar: Fire and Ash is stunningly beautiful in 3D. We had a blast, even if the story felt a little too familiar.

Imagineering has filed a permit for Haunted Mansion work. We don't know exactly what it's for, but since it involves set pieces, we're sharing the news. diservations.com/haunted-mans...

The original Tree of Life NOC was amended again, this time without an expiration. Since that field was left blank, it expires on December 22, 2026, one year from the filing date. Whiting-Turner is tasked with Facility Demo, General Construction, Electrical, and Area Development.
Imagineers filed an amended Notice of Commencement for the Tree of Life. The filing references the same permit submitted in February for Zootopia-related work. It doesn't extend the permit (which expires next week), so we're unsure why it was needed.

Sending all of you wonderful people warm Christmas wishes. And if you don’t celebrate, we hope you have an excellent Thursday.

Crews have begun adding projected window surrounds to the front of the Universal Kids Resort Hotel. They do a good job amping up the otherwise simple color block design.

The Monsters, Inc. coaster is being built below grade. That should help mitigate sightline issues when this monstrous building reaches full height. diservations.com/sightlines-m...
Sightlines? Monsters, Inc. Coaster Being Built Below Grade
Aerial photos show the Monsters, Inc. coaster foundation sits nearly 10 feet below grade, possibly to protect sightlines.

Holy crap.

Dino Institute Rug Countdown
With DinoLand U.S.A. closing in 2026, we fear we'll never see the iconic Dino Institute rug once Santa heads back to the North Pole.

Starting in January, Cinderella Castle will be surrounded by cranes and lifts as crews restore her classic look. Afternoon photos should be just fine, though. Crews will clear out by lunchtime.
