WDWNT Reporter Joe Hogarty visited the Magic Kingdom yesterday and has a ton of newsworthy photos (including A Pirate’s Adventure, the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train, Princess Aurora’s new costume, and more) to share with us, so let’s take a look:
Stage set for the AFV taping
I love that it actually fits Main Street U.S.A.
Beautiful day at the Magic Kingdom
Jack Sparrow What-Not?
The Crow’s Nest will be the starting point for A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas
There is a queue set up now
The sign above the entrance is covered
Tangled tower
It has become a popular photo spot
No visible progress on Princess Fairytale Hall
Work continues on the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
More scaffolding going up on the west side
Meanwhile, the facade on the east side is nearing completion
It looks nearly complete from this side
The track was wrapped to accommodate other work
Triton’s Treasures should be open by the Summer
New rock work going up
Other than a few walls that were enclosed, nothing new over here
The Mad Tea Party is closed for refurbishment
IRON MAN-O-RAIL
WOOSH!
Princess Aurora has received an updated costume as well now
Looks nice
Jack Sparrow really let himself go…
"Jack Sparrow really let himself go…"
Looks good to me!
when do you think that the magic tea cups are going to re-open because i am going in april and i finally have someone who will go on it with me and if it is closed i will cry :(
We have a refurbishments page you can go to using the navigation at the top of the page, it has all of the dates listed there.
Love your photo reports! I get to experience a little of the magic even when I'm not there.
Don't know if you noticed but the AFV photos show Mickey ears on the railing. Didn't notice that till I got home and checked out the photos.
what exactly is the time frame for princess fairy tale hall to be open? will it be open in the spring or sometime in the next year?
it seem there's been so little reported lately on it's progress, i was just curious as to when it'll be opening, thanks
When I was there on Thursday, I definitely heard allot of construction work going on inside the Princess Fairytale Hall. I wouldn't be surprised if it opens soon. It is scheduled to open this year and remember them saying that it was opening early 2013.
Hi!! I was wondering when AFV are gonna tape at Disney world and how to get seats??? Thank you!!!
The taping has already taken place to my knowledge.
Jack let himself go? but Princess Aurora didn't?
In fact most of those girls are too big for those characters
Wow, I'm sure you're a pretty princess too. Finding an actress who matches a cartoon character's proportions would be impossible.
And I'm pretty sure that's not an actor trying to be the Jack Sparrow character anyway. Just a blogger trying to come up with a funny caption that doesn't work.
That seems a bit harsh…
I love these photo reports because we intentionally since our last visit in fall of 2011 due to all of the 2012-mid-2013 construction. We did LOVE an Alaskan Disney Cruise in 2012 which I recommend to everyone. We can't wait to see all of the changes when we visit next late Sept-2013 and the SS Member Disney Cruise! Keep the photo reports coming!
Any sightings of the fire-breathing dragon recently?
Nope :(
We've heard August, but officially around September/October.
Anybody know anything about when pirate week is going to be???? i keep on seeing comments about it but no dates :( trying to plan a trip to disney but want to go for that…….
