PHOTOS: Temporary Promotional Filming Stage Surrounds “Partners” Statue at Magic Kingdom

The recently refurbished “Partners” statue is now surrounded by a temporary stage. Construction workers were still present when guests entered the Magic Kingdom this morning. According to Cast Members, the stage should be in place for approximately one week.

The temporary stage surrounds the “Partners” statue on all four sides. Each side of the stage forms a point, creating a four-point star.

This set of stairs will be moved into place to allow stage access. According to Cast Members, the stage will be used for promotional filming and performances overnight. The promotional materials are likely for The World’s Most Magical Celebration.
