Interesting points:
*Club33 will be semi exclusive allowing "rental" if you know the right person I guess
*They have removed the spell room dungeon now exits to fire works lobby
*They moved the masion to New Orleans Square - as an oversight or design flaw they left the frontierland monorail connection to the mansion attic there is an exit now on the far side of mansion lobby. 
*Music is not interchangeable
*No shop in New Orleans Square
*VMK pass - I dub thee VMK SLOW PASS, this is as expected.  I thought I will get in line for club33 and go to the store WRONG
  - you can't be in line and be nowhere anymore
  - if you are in line you are required to move or be DC
  - Darn that hibernation Mode on my computer if everything else didn't already fail
       - I returned to fin my computer was hibernating - thus the connection shut down and DC me but not be fore I got the in activity warning
       - You can play games ++ with slow pass but watch the line close
       - You get very little time and no warning that it is your turn - they could use a buzzer or clock sound count down here.
Overall the improvements are nice, leaving me wanting more, the Fire Works changes i have mixed feelings on, I don't like the credit or scoring change and feel the game is very cluttered. but it is fun to learn a new game, and overall it remains similar.  But like pirates I enjoyed the old, that and I live at the mansion.

With this massive release of new items, I was surprised not to see the new epcot guest room that was talked about.  Wonder if its going to be another quest room?  Maybe its an epcot resort room to tie in with the resort pins they are currently releasing again?

Just a little trick to avoid disconnecting.  If you open your friends list and leave it up on your screen, you will not DC.  I've left myself on for hours upon hours doing this ;)

*Any idea what "rental" of club 33 is going to mean? Strange.
*I'm bummed the spell room is gone.  :what: is the thought there I wonder?
*Also bummed about no shop in New Orleans square, how undisneylike to not have a place to spend money.  ;D I like the Mardi Gras looking hats on the pictures in the gallery though.
*Thrilled you can play games while in line with a pass and I agree some kind of warning sound would be appropriate for when its  your turn.  Maybe they still have that "pop" laying around somewhere..  :notme:

My take on that "rental" of Club33 has to do with the "already brown-nosers" and the "boy am I going to start being a really great brown-noser so I can use the room" people.  The "elite favored".   :moon:

As far as the new land, it is pretty and Blue Bayou was cute for maybe 20 minutes. But I'm done with it - already!  The other two new rooms, the gallery and the street there for New Orleans Square, offer nothing but walking around.  So other than the daily NPC.. or an occassional quest task, I am  kind of bummed about the new land.   :(

Fireworks. I never could play that game, and as there were no credits unless you were at least fairly good.. I never did it.  Now I can at least get a few credits out of it.. but will probably only visit for a quest task.  :-\

VMKPass, "Me only" room option, and monorail music mix/play - Alright!  :thumbs: The only redeeming new features out of all of these new changes IMHO.
