Matt Paul spent a wonderful Earth Day 2009 at the Walt Disney World Resort and has plenty of pictures to share with us:
“Celebrate Parking!”
Some new flags outside of Animal Kingdom
A promotional booth for “Earth”, now in theaters
Jiminy Cricket was posing for photos to celebrate Earth Day, since he is the face of the environmentality program
More Earth Day festivities inside the park
Matt Paul is excited about Earth Day

Sounds Dangerous has closed once again, we don’t expect it to re-open again, but it may this summer
The local police are awfully friendly
The Streetmosphere characters rolled out in cars before Block Party Bash hit the streets at 3:00 PM
Before Block Party Bash rolls out, Buzz sits and waits under a deflated ball.
“Maybe I should get a poncho…”
Matt enjoyed a showing of the extremely popular Block Party Bash
Performing a Piledriver – DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME ;)
“Hollywood, 1939. Amid the glitz and glimmer of bustling young movie-town at the height of its golden age….”
“Now, something is about to happen that will change all that…”
“This as you may recognize is a maintenance service elevator”
Thought this was kind of freaky
At first, I thought this was just a nice shot, but then I realized that one person is holding up a piece of paper. I hope they realize no one can see it and that the on-ride picture was already taken
Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream…
presented by D23
Over at “Lights, Motors, Action”, the pre-show has a question that doesn’t really pertain to stunts or driving
If you said A, you were right
“And I’m freeeeeeeee, free-fallin’…”
Over on Pixar Place, the home of the soon-to-debut Luxo Jr. animatronic character is being prepared
Moving over to Epcot on Spaceship-Earth Day (really corny, I know)
A sand sculpture promoting “Earth”
Moving over to Downtown Disney, Characters in Flight has proven quite popular
Time to “Celebrate Tonight!” at Pleasure Island
The clubs may be closed, but the dance floor is wide open
Seems to be popular for a Wednesday night in late-April
Still closed, and shall remain
We would like to come in, but the door is locked
I don’t think that’s Sue from England…
A blurry look at Paradiso 37, still under construction
Look, in the sky! It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s Characters in Flight!
These construction walls are mimicking the finale of the Great Movie Ride
The DJ booths are back up and running on Pleasure Island thanks to “Celebrate Tonight!”
Thanks for the report Matt!!!
