WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen visited the Magic Kingdom last week and has some great, newsworthy photos to share with us, so let’s take a look:
I’m not sure who thought it was a good idea to replace the canopy over the boat dock in the summer…
Halloween party is in full swing already, and the park is decorated for autumn
The furthest edge of the Chapeau façade is being reworked as the corridor behind the building is expected to become a regularly used path every day during parades and fireworks
The re-imagining of the hub at the Magic Kingdom continues
Sweet potato nuggets at Golden Oak are delicious… if it’s actually open
Work continues on the queue at Peter Pan’s Flight
The Seven Dwarfs Mine store is still behind walls
The Astro Orbiter is slowly being put back together and will reopen later this month
The elevator shaft is completely orange
Work continues on the DVC wing and additions at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Guests walking from the TTC will have to take a different path
Some signs around the resort have the new name and logo
A look at the current progress on the bungalows
Work has begun on the pool area as well
The outdoor Dole Whip service window, Pineapple Lenai opened last week, offering dole whip in a Tiki Room souvenir bowl!
I kind of wondered the same thing when I saw the first picture – who thought about changing the canopy of the boat launch in the summer in Florida?!? I definitely felt January or February would have been a better time to do that change :-) I still can’t believe all the renovations going on, it almost feels like there are only 2 seasons to WDW – hot weather and construction, much like Chicago and its construction and snow!
So what is going on with the overpass work to Downtown Disney, sorry Disney Springs.
Thanks for the picture update. I can’t wait to arrive in November!!!! Do you need another photographer?
Hi, do you know when the work in the hub at the MK is going to be finish?
It is been a while now
thanks

Are those dole whip souvenir tiki bowls a permanent or limited time thing? I would like five please!
