Bummer about the wheel.
There's Jackie doing her thing. That blinding sun in their faces has to be a little annoying.

Price is Right changes up their stakes several times a year. Yeah, but the people in charge have a history of not understanding what a budget is and how to properly use it, leading to prizes that could be introduced with "It's a new tax burden!" (Dream Car Week being an obvious example). Wheel has not changed any gameplay stakes since Wheel 6000 week in 2014 where they raised the R4+ top dollar to $6000. Aaaaand then proceeded to have Round 4 begin as a Speed-Up on Monday-Wednesday. I'm expecting SOMETHING new/unusual this season for sweeps periods, as unlikely as that may appear due to past history. They stopped the $5k every day to save up some money Personally, I think they swapped out $5K Every Day for $10,000 If Somebody Wins The $10,000 Mystery Wedge just to save money, not to put money elsewhere. |

The Disney World weeks will not have the 1/2 Car available nor any cars in the Bonus Round. Other than that, gameplay was the same as usual.
Interesting side note: the first audiences each day saw only two shows and the second audiences saw three, rather than the other way around when they usually do five-show tapings.

I understand no room to put a BR car on the set, but why no 1/2 Car?

The first taping was grandparent-grandchild (18+ of course) teams, so that wouldn't have had the 1/2 Car anyway. The second taping was married couples, and the third was singles.
None of the episodes from the last remote in Hawaii had it, either.

All cash. And just what envelope will show up almost all the time?

The lack of cars while on the road is probably due to tax or tag problems.

A very nice view of the stage... somewhat tarnished by a really stupid puzzle which is no doubt a Prize Puzzle. |

Okay, that looks really nice.  ... somewhat tarnished by a really stupid puzzle which is no doubt a Prize Puzzle. ...oh good lord. For anybody who isn't seeing it, the puzzle is almost certainly I CAN'T STOP JUMPING UP AND DOWN. I'm not 100% sure, mind you, but I'd put my confidence around 95%.
Looking at the Wheel, I think I see the Express wedge, so yeah it's probably a Trip Puzzle. Assuming said puzzle is what I think it is, I gotta admit that one of the Google results made me feel mildly uncomfortable. |

Some more pictures. One of the singles week shows early in the session still at daylight: 
The puzzle is likely "STROLLING AROUND THE FARMERS' MARKET
What may be an opening segment or promo being shot (unless Donald and/or Daisy fill in for Vanna in one round).   And a picture from one of the rehearsal rounds with the differently-pieced single-Bankrupt layout, which is not being used in any of the actual episodes. The puzzle is a Same Name of "LOVE AND INTERNET CONNECTION", which is used during most rehearsal games partially as a test to see if people know the edge for the category, which, by the looks of it, this group did not.  |

^That looks really funky with 2 green $500 wedges so close together.

Sort of off-topic, but Pat will be one of the narrators at the Candlelight Processional at Epcot's International Festival of the Holidays this season. That grandparents/grandchild week will make me cry since when I last visited Epcot in 2012, it was just eight months before my maternal grandfather passed away. Good to see Wheel back on the road though.
