Nice. Should start a poll though. How long until they stop working again?

Great, but it seems that the fog effect is not returning.

I didn't want to start a new topic on live entertainment, so I'm putting it here:

I've never seen a band playing under the gazebo, especially not during low season. Is that new? That's what I expact from a Disney park. It seems they really try to improve certain things.

Oh, ya, now that is more Disney than any teenager in a furry costume IMHO.

The band was out loads over the last couple of days, it was really nice just to sit and watch them play. That's Disneyland for me. I hardly did any attractions, just wandered around looking at things :P

Regarding the Discoveryland lava pools, the bubbles are broken already... :( There was plenty of water flowing over the rocks, though.

Some other effects I'd noticed broke or turned off were rivers... the one coming out of the Aladin walkthrough wasn't on, the river running in front of fort Comstock was turned off, with small pools of stagnating water here and there... and also, a stream up near Colonel Hathi's wasn't working.

Don't know if this classes as an effect, but a good few of the floor mounted area loop speakers are broken in every land and Fantasia gardens.

Oh, and the small bulbs on the Disneyland Hotel and the gazeebo's in Fantaisa Gardens were in a very poor condition. One of the Gazeebos was completely dark and the DLH was only lit on the left hand side. The ones on Main Street though, were at quite a good standard. All but 2 or 3 of the Gas Lamps weren't lit though... *sigh* the little things that make the Disney difference...  :roll:

I'm happy to say that probably thanks to Disney Dreams, most if not all of the torches and gas lamps on Main Street/around the Central plaza area (Frontier/Adventureland entrances) are working. I think this is due to the fact that they all get turned off for dreams and then they're all re-lit simultaneously after it's finished. Either that or they've just gone around fixing all the pilot lights :P
Oh and does anyone know what's happened to the gas pump at main street motors?? It's seemed to have disappeared.
The steaming cup on Coffee grinder advert wasn't working.
I swear that every single bulb on every building on Main Street was working, too... (and on one of the popcorn stands on Central Plaza! The other one was completely dark, though.)
Also, all rivers around fort Comstock are working again, and the one up by colonel Hathi's.

I've already reported this on Twitter last month, but I'm so glad they finally fixed this (after 6 years): the lights behind the glass dome inside Harrington's! They store is so bright again!

I think it really is a shame they turned off or didn't repair the Columbiad Canon effects. ):

Can I just say something, the falling rocks/shaking rocks on BTM were probably stopped due to the incident with the train and rock facade!

The waterfall at the end of the first tunnel in Thunder Mountain now works (I got soaked!) and so do the Geysers apparently!

Do the Geysers work? Wow, seems ages ago. Does anyone know what actually happened to the little ferris wheel in Fantasyland? Still remember it was there during one of my first visits.

the Geyser don't work anymore, they look a bit  ugly now. The Old Mill ferris wheel is still there in Fantasyland, but Disney finally closed the ride and removed the bucket seats in a refurbishment last year, it's now just a counter service restaurant, looks good though.
