WDWNT Reporter Robert Ashburn visited the Magic Kingdom on Tuesday and has a ton of newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip (including lots of Fantasyland progress), so let’s take a look:
The spur beam for the Monorail is complete
Pretty nifty, eh?
Work has begun on the rumored location of the Disney Vacation Club wing at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa
Plenty of workers already on-site
This will all look very different soon
We expect the new wing will be announced at the D23 Expo
This very scenic area is about to get very busy
On to the Magic Kingdom, the Confectionary facade is complete and looks fantastic
The park has been running a lot more of the Main Street Vehicles, they may even start running them at night soon
Can’t remember the last time I saw this
Time for Fantasyland!
Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid is looking great!
Work continues on the roof of Pinocchio’s Village Haus
No visible progress over at the Skyway for quite some time now
It will be interesting to see this area once work is completed on the new path
The Castle Wall construction and the Village Haus refurb interfere with some views of the construction site
Imagineers and construction crews out and about, working on New Fantasyland
The walls just keeping coming closer and closer…
Walls out in front of Village Haus… why so many different colors?
It’s amazing how many guests stop to look at the concept art
Walls closing in on the restrooms
You can see Maurice’s Cottage (home to Enchanted Tales with Belle) over the walls
If they were any closer, you would be using Maurice’s bathroom…
Castle Walls have made little progress
A look at the Beauty and the Beast realm
Plenty of workers out
Trees help with the scale of the Beast’s Castle
I see you back there…
This guy ruins the scale…
Bonjour! Village Gifts will have a roof shortly
The rock-work is pretty big
Construction workers out on the Mermaid facade as well
Looking good
Eric’s castle is coming along nicely
Beautiful
Some work being done on the facade of Enchanted Grove as well
On to the Storybook Circus
Big Top Souvenirs
Structures continue to rise
Winnie the Pooh and Tigger and now crammed in this corner
It will have to do for now…
Still working…
The Balzac vendor in Tomorrowland was there for so long that the concrete under it needs to be replaced
Other merchandise carts remain
Let’s take a ride on the Peoplemover to see more Fantasyland construction
The Mermaid rock-work continues to grow
Dumbo queue
Off in the distance, we can actually see Gaston’s Tavern
More Dumbo
It’s an inside joke…
This suspicious pair were out and about near Adventureland
Working on the Adventureland quest perhaps? Or are we just crazy?
Work continues on the Enchanted Tiki Room before it re-opens in just a few days
Still no sign change…
Walls still up in Frontierland
Constructions walls are really an art form…
The Liberty Tree Tavern… now presented by Ocean Spray Craisins? WHAT? Apparently they are already on a salad at the restaurant…
The flower beds near first-aid were recently replanted
They look great
It’s amazing how many people don’t even know that this area exists
Phineas and Ferb merchandise in the Emporium
Fire Station (or Quest Central) still closed…
Work continues on the tram area at the Transportation and Ticket Center
Am I the only one or did anybody else read the "suspicious pair" line and then immediately look at the chest of the girls who was walking by?
Wow…
insert mind in gutter here…
lol, was going to comment the same thing!
Looks great, how much do you think will be dome by Christmas? I am visiting the World this Christmas?? Nver been before for Christmas!
