Hi everyone!

After a media preview of the new Busch Garden’s show Iceploration, we hopped back in the car and headed to the Magic Kingdom to photograph and record the new Romance segment of “The Magic, The Memories and You!“  Just like in the Christmas version, a small portion of the normal show is changed to reflect the season. The first part of the new segment features Snow White as she receives “Love’s First Kiss” (below, left). Lady and the Tramp then are shown on Cinderella Castle in the famous spagetti scene (below, right).

Hi everyone!

Yesterday was a gorgeous, cool day at the Magic Kingdom (below, left). We encountered the Main Street streetmosphere characters by the Fire Engine as soon as we walked into the park (below, right). We once again play tested the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom interactive game and added to our growing collection of Sorcerers cards.

Many changes have been happening at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, as the construction progresses. We walked down the bridge at the Pop Century Resort (below, left), which allowed a great view of the Finding Nemo courtyard (below, right).

Hi everyone!

President Obama paid a visit to the Magic Kingdom yesterday to give a short speech on tourism. Main Street U.S.A. was walled off from park guests until a little after 2pm (below, left).  While some areas were not open to the public, Disney pulled a terrific backstage experience out of it’s hat! Parade floats and Main Street vehicles lined the backstage walkway from Main Street to Tomorrowland, including these fish from Spectromagic (below, right).

Hi everyone!

Yesterday was a busy one at the Magic Kingdom. The Mickey Christmas ornament is now replaced with a more traditional Mickey at the front of the park (below, left). Scrims are up around Main Street U.S.A. (below, right), as the end of the holiday season always seems to lead to a few months of extensive rehabs.

Hi everyone!

The interactive game, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom (below, left) was play testing on Sunday at the Magic Kingdom. We had just finished up breakfast at Boma with friends when we found out that the testing had just started. We were handed a map (below, left) and 5 spell cards – there are 70 in all – and told to go to Fantasyland to start our adventure.
