WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth visited the Magic Kingdom and the surrounding resorts on Monday and has a TON of newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:
Work continues on RFID turnstiles at the Magic Kingdom
Walls up on the other side too
Holy…
That’s more like it…
That isn’t Osh Popham…
These “black and white” plush have been out for a few months now
We look at Wreck-It Ralph stuff for the 40th time
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom shirts are selling well
Still gross…
Wow…
Magic Carpets of Aladdin closed for refurbishment
A lot of guests want to see mermaids!
Walls still up at the Crow’s Nest
Golden Oak Outpost closed
I’d rather not…
This would be why
Holy lines Batman
You know what doesn’t have lines?
The new, shorter Country Bear Jamboree!
It will never break 12 again…
Lobby wasn’t touched
The theater is another story
New lighting is quite noticeable
These guys look brand new
All of the bears got new fur and clothing
They look incredible
The bad part of all this is the cutting of much of the show
The Five Bear Rugs no longer sing “Devilish Mary”
“Fractured Folk Song” was also cut, then the song order was changed as well
Lines from some songs were even cut
HE LOOKS AWESOME!
A lot of dialogue was cut as well…
It’s great that the attraction was completely restored, but it’s a shame we had to lose so much of it
The Gaston’s Tavern mugs are being repurposed at Sleepy Hollow
I think it’s a neat idea
Work continues on the new restrooms on the former Skyway site
There’s a chimney
The construction walls now extend to the “it’s a small world” exit tarps
Tarps still up at Village Haus
Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train construction
Cast Member previews are currently taking place
Guests are confused! EVERYONE SAID IT WAS OPEN!
I hope something will be done with pavement land at some point
Work continues on Princess Fairytale Hall
The exit test is still happening
Work continues on the Grand Floridian DVC addition
A beautiful sight at your wedding!
The parking lot is just about finished
Let’s head over to the Polynesian
RFID is in full use over here
Let’s go shopping
A lot of the 40th anniversary merchandise has been rebranded
Toothpick holders!
Let’s go eat
BACON CUPCAKES!
IT’S BACON! Well, not completely…
Adam had to get one…
A nice secluded spot to enjoy a Dole float
A look across the Seven Seas Lagoon at the Grand Floridian DVC
We have our first wall
I think it will blend nicely
Hey adam i was there i actually saw you but lost you in a big crowd around pirates, i was down there from 10-16 to 10-24 I personally think the bears are really bad now, to much cut, to short, and not very good overall. Wasnt a fav but it just seems alot worse now.. thoughts?

I actually really like the new flow of the show. I've always enjoyed the Country Bear Jamboree and while the cut content will always be missed, the show really feels like it flows much better now (in my opinion). I went with a first time guest who had never seen it before and she loved it, so much so that we immediately went back in for the next showing!
