WDWNT Reporter Nick Corjay returns with an update on the Magic Kingdom taken on Sunday, so let’s take a look:
The firehouse is closed, rumors say it will either be re-purposed for meet and greets or a Magic Kingdom “quest center” of some kind… more on that later…
And now, the main event: Fantasyland construction! Here’s the Dumbo building in Storybook Circus
Walls up around the Speedway
More Dumbo queue construction
Pooh and Tigger have had to move over closer to the Mad Tea Party thanks to the expanding walls
The facade of Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid is coming along nicely
The basic shape of Prince Eric’s castle is as clear as day
Looking good…
The Dumbo queue
Looks like they are ripping apart more of the Barnstormer load area
The frame of the rock-work now encases the Be Our Guest restaurant building
An overall look at the Beauty and the Beast area
Some of the more complete rock-work
A lot of frame work…
Not much progress on the castle walls since we last checked in
The Fantasyland Skyway Station is still gone…
Facade work continues in Frontierland
Rumors are that this work is connected to adding interactive quests similar to the Kim Possible World Showcase Adventure to the Magic Kingdom
Pecos Bill’s still behind tarps
No management change yet
Hard to believe this will be re-opened in about a month since we haven’t really seen much progress outside
It will be interesting to watch this unfold…
Ariel and Eric are still greeting guests in Adventureland
So, what IS to become of the Main Street Fire Station?
I will celebrate when the "Under New Management" part of that sign comes down! Hoo RAH!
I'm sad the fire station is closing :( I wonder if it will reopen when Fanstasyland expassion opens. We have always loved going in there and making it a point to go just b/c my dad has been a fire fighter for over 40 years, and my husband for over 10. Will they sell the merchandise in the emporium as well?
Yes, the merchandise sold in the Firehouse will be sold in the Emporium.
The patch trading will continue on, but it will be moved to City Hall.
Great photos!!! Love watching the expansions on this site. Good job and keep up the good work.
