The Little Mermaid received its permanent signage
This was a smart move to move the "entrance" inside the rotunda where the canopy queue begins.
So many people would enter through the rotunda from all the different openings, getting "lost" on how to get in.
Now anyone can come in any direction and easily find the entrance

  1. The last two Monorail shots of Grizzly Peak Airfield show DCA Park Vice President Kris Theiler inspecting the land, along with one of her Dockers-clad managers and his Junior Safety Patrol Helper. Kris and Dockers Manager are not wearing hardhats.

  2. The bunting is quite out of control. I hope they tone it down over the next few weeks.
