Cinderella Castle

bibbidi bobbidi boutique castle couture

Checking in on the everlasting scrim around Castle Couture, signs have gone up on it now, signaling the switch that it made last week into an extended location for Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique. Castle Couture is now the check in and changing location for the Boutique, before the Guests with reservations are moved over into the already existing location for hair and makeup and finishing touches. If you don’t have a Boutique reservation and are still looking to purchase a princess dress or accessories, they’re still available across the street in Sir Mickey’s.

The Sword in the Stone was covered again today. This photo op has really been a hit or miss lately on if it’s available or not.

mickey's philharmonic

I stopped into Fantasy Faire at the exit of Mickey’s Philharmagic, because Donald’s butt has really been having a moment lately. We’ve seen a Donald Duck Butt headband, a Donald Duck Butt Crossbody, and a Donald Duck Butt donut. We also reported last week that Mickey’s Philharmagic looks to be heading for a refurbishment coming this Fall for a digital film upgrade, so maybe all of this publicity that Donald’s butt has been doing lately has been for some positive change. Thank you, Donald, for your (pantsless) service.

tron lightcycle power run construction

On my usual lap around Tomorrowland on the PeopleMover, I checked in on the progress on the construction of TRON Lightcycle Power Run.

It looks like there has been a little more progress on the track installation since our last update. This has been one of my favorite things to watch come together lately, its started moving so quickly, and there are few things more exciting than the anticipation of watching a new coaster get built.

Cinderella Castle pathway widening

Over on the other side of the park, the pathway widening project by Cinderella Castle is moving along as well. You can now see a pretty clear outline of just how much they’re widening it, judging from the concrete wall that runs a few feet out next to the old pathway. You can also see that they’re starting knocking down and removing the brick work from the edge of the old pathway. I’m definitely anxious for this to reopen, I really miss that shortcut.

That’s it for my day around the Magic Kingdom! Keep checking WDWNT for more updates, and I’ll see ya real soon!
