WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited the Magic Kingdom yesterday and has some newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:
The final turnstiles at the Magic Kingdom are being converted to touch-point entrances
Some pavement outside of the Confectionery being worked on
The entirety of Main Street will be repaved in January in preparation for Festival of Fantasy
A few weeks ago, Sleepy Hollow got a new sign and a new name, now the Sleepy Hollow Inn
All of the walls are down around the old Peter Pan restroom area
A new backdrop for the Peter Pan and Wendy meet and greet was revealed
Peter Pan’s Flight is down for refurbishment
It appears that paper FastPass (or legacy if you prefer) is gone forever at Peter Pan’s Flight
Some work going on at Pinocchio’s Village Haus, but the restaurant remains open
Work continues on the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train in New Fantasyland
A look through the wall reveals that the pathway and fence along the ride are finished
The cake cups are still available at Cheshire Cafe, so they must be doing well
A new Madame Leota Haunted Mansion phone case available for the iPhone 5
The Grand Floridian Villas are scheduled to open on the 23rd
Work is wrapping up
The walkway to the older buildings is the last piece to be completed
Until it is done, there are going to be some monorail downtimes daily
Thanks for the updates! The mine train is taking soooo long to complete but it should be worth it when it finally opens. Nice backdrop for Peter Pan and Wendy I just wish those beams weren't in the way.
