Tom Carroll (tc@carroll.u-net.com) reports: "You can no longer use the lockers under the Main Street Railroad Station 'for security reasons'. Instead, there is a window outside the park, near to the Annual Passport office, where you can leave things. However, this costs 5FF and you have to leave the park to retrieve anything. This effectively means that for practical purposes, you really have to carry everything around with you."

The Indian Canoes are closed, the dock area having been replaced by the Pocahontas Indian Village children's playground. Please check with Guest Relations for further info, although detailed schedules of attraction downtime are difficult to obtain very far in advance.
