WDWNT Reporter Zach Larson visited The Magic Kingdom and Downtown Disney earlier today and has a plethora of newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip:
NO MORE STAR TOURS! Thank you…
Long lines at the TTC
That’s where we’re going
The Confectionary is out from behind tarps with an entirely new look!
Looks different, but great!
A Hall of Champions sign still up…
The spinning water ball in Tomorrowland is down for refurbishment, possibly removal
The sign at Carousel of Progress is back after being repainted
They also sealed the hole with the years so they don’t have to worry about updating it anymore
Storybook Circus construction as seen from the Peoplemover
The backside of the Dumbo queue
The south side of the Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid building
Back to the Dumbo queue
Construction walls have now moved out to the Mad Tea Party
The Dumbo entrance
We can see the roof replacement of the Barnstormer building through the beams
The track still hasn’t been touched
The walls go near the Mad Tea Party entrance
Seemingly out of nowhere, the rest of the Beauty and the Beast village is visible
Work continues underneath the Beast’s castle
Rock-work has formed around the frame of Prince Eric’s castle and the Under the Sea building
The building is no longer visible from Fantasyland
Back to Beauty and the Beast, the rock-work on this side is a little further along
That strange hole is still there…
Work continues on Enchanted Tales with Belle
More rock-work going up
More construction through the trees
You can really get a good idea of how this will look when completed
More rock-work coming soon…
The trees blocking a lot of the view of the construction are down now
The Cinderella Castle cam keeps an eye on the progress
Work continues up on the roofs of Fantasyland
The Fantasyland Skyway station is gone
The clock tower remains
A closer look
Let’s check in on the Haunted Mansion queue
Something nasty on the organ…
Master Gracey’s plot has grown in nicely since being extended
A lot of facade work is being done in Frontierland
The Shootin’ Arcade is closed until the Fall
Pecos Bill’s is open during the facade refurbishment
Work continues to get the Enchanted Tiki Room ready for August
NEW SPACE MOUNTAIN SHIRTS!!!
Moving over to Downtown Disney, we take a long awaited look inside LittleMissMatched in the Marketplace
Zach was the first reporter brave enough to look inside…
They have their own umbrellas!
Marketplace Fun Finds has replaced Pooh Corner and what was left of Disney Tails
Pleasure Island/Hyperion Wharf continues to limp along
Bulldozers are about to roll in…
KUNGALOOSH!
On a lesser note… BET Soundstage Club will be torn down as well
The new Harley-Davidson store on West Side is coming along nicely
Some new Vinylmation coming out on Friday at D Street
Alien Encounter!
“No Skippy, you may not escape…” You might want to pick these up before they go “BON VOYAGE!”
The Pirates of the Caribbean series will be released July 1st with Casey Jones signing
GREAT photo report.
So many fantastic angles of the fantasyland construction, really got some perspective.
Why did they leave the skyway clock tower?
