Has anyone made it through the download? I'm nervous that it will be like the last patch and everything will be jacked for the next few days.
Downloading now... wife has been playing though, no screaming...
None of my chat functions are working, but aside from that awesome little easter egg it's ok.
Boba, disable Gearscore if you have it, it's affecting the chat changes. My guild thought it was hilarious that I couldn't talk. :-p
What is the easter egg of which you speak? I was so terrifically swamped last night, I did not notice any changes.
Only changes I noticed was Lootship in ICC was bugged.... we went back to Ulduar to fill time!
Silly ship wouldn't appear to those who were in canons... no bueno
For those that might not have seen them, here are the patch notes:
General
* Much of the data being downloaded in patch 4.0.3 will pave the way for the shattering of Azeroth shortly before the release of World of Warcraft: Cataclysm on December 7.
* The leader of Wintergrasp raids can no longer kick players from the raid (this change will also apply to Tol Barad in Cataclysm).
* When in a Looking For Dungeon group, using an instance portal to that instance will now take players to the Looking For Dungeon entrance point instead of the normal destination of that portal. This will make it easier to return to the instance after dying in an LFD group.
* Honorable Kills are no longer awarded for killing players below level 5.
User Interface
* Added pets to the new raid unit frames when displayed in party.
* The default UI Scale has been altered so it will be set at a 1:1 pixel/texel ratio. This will result in a smaller UI appearance for higher resolution monitors.
* Players may now adjust the local "Lag Tolerance" time for better precision of spell timing. This is an advanced-users-only feature found in the Interface Options (Combat) panel.
Bug Fixes
* Macros now handle spell variant transitions better. For example, Trap Launcher causes a different version of Frost Trap to be cast. Previously the macro system was not handling this transition properly.
* Queuing in Looking For Dungeon for a different wing of the instance a player is already in now works properly. For example, a party can now queue for Scarlet Monastery – Library after completing Scarlet Monastery – Graveyard.
* Killing High Interrogator Gerstahn before killing Emperor Dagran Thaurissan in a Blackrock Depths – Upper City random Looking For Dungeon run will now provide the proper reward. This also applies to Archmage Arugal and the Crown Chemical Company bosses in Shadowfang Keep during the Love is in the Air holiday event.
* Repeatedly inspecting other players should now function correctly.
* Area heal-over-time effects should no longer cause players to stand up.
* Male blood elves have received a crash course in dancing and now know to stop dancing when they run.
* Drake mounts have gotten bored with gliding and will flap their wings again when flying forward.
* Druid Flight Form now properly appears in the Spellbook before Expert Riding is learned.
* Sunfire's damage-over-time effect now deals damage at the same rate as Moonfire's damage- over-time effect.
* GM Ticket messages should now displace buff icons instead of obscuring them.
* Honorable Kills are no longer awarded for killing players below level 5.
This saddens me. I will no longer be able to one-shot level 1's looking for gold. (totally kidding!)

Takaas – thank you for posting. These 3 crack me up. Yay for #1 – I have so missed being inspected repeatedly. =)
The easter egg was my chat not working 🙂
And it would have been really cool if I would have been able to chat so someone could have told me about the GearScore glitch. I waited all day for a GM to answer my ticket 🙂
