Josh Siegel’s 10/20/10 WDW Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Josh Siegel visited the Magic Kingdom on Wednesday and took a number of newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:
Half of the monorail platform walkway at the Grand Floridian Resort is being worked on
Over to the Magic Kingdom, where the exterior of the Exposition Hall is still being worked on
Disney Clothiers is still behind tarps, but construction workers were out in the open during the day as well
Walls up outside Casey’s Corner again, workers visible here as well
Views from Cinderella’s Royal Table will be blocked soon
I guess Disney only wants guests to see construction from everywhere else….
The Beauty and the Beast realm buildings are coming along quickly
More work behind the Village Haus
Beams being lifted into place
A view from above the site
The dirt is still being moved around in front of the “Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid” building
Temporary signage at the Thoughtful spot until it closes with the attraction on October 25th
Tarps down on the tree
The tree looks show ready
Piglet is gone!
Expect to see the finished facade and interactive queue in November
“it’s a small world” is back two days early
The exit is now located at the old entrance from pre-2005, using the queue ramp to now send guests out
The entrance hasn’t moved
But guests are now sent to the left and down the old exit ramp
Guests are invited to use both sides
Nothing has changed in the attraction, but some characters are missing for repair
Walls still up in the Haunted Mansion queue
The tombstones are gone for now….
El Pirata Y El Perico behind tarps in Adventureland
A small merchandise cart has popped up near the Princess and the Frog meet and greet in Liberty Square
They are selling Christmas and Princess and the Frog merchandise
New ornament
The Coca-Cola Cool Ship and Cool Scanner are being repaired
The new roof is up on the Mad Tea Party
They look like they may indeed be glass, but are covered for protection at the moment
A lot of work going on at the ride level as well
The Tangled “play and greet” for Rapunzel and Flynn Rider is racing towards a 10/24 debut
Rapunzel’s tower
A number of small lanterns installed
Time to put up the canopy…
Another look at the lanterns
Wow, that was quick!
This was actually taken a little later in the day, they don’t work THAT fast
Let’s take a ride on Dumbo for fun! Ok, Josh went to get pictures…
The top level of the Little Mermaid show building is closed in
Beauty and the Beast buildings
We believe the new cast member tunnel is under this paved area
Another shot of Mermaid
Back to Beauty and the Beast (we’re going in circles on Dumbo remember)
Mermaid…
Beauty and the Beast
I’m dizzy…. but we’ll be seeing a lot more of this
