Celebrating Disneyland’s Birthday at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

I had a great time last night celebrating Disneyland’s 55th Birthday. Normally I celebrate it at Disneyland, but this year we didn’t make it out there for July and spent the evening reliving Disneyland opening day attractions at the Magic Kingdom (below, left). Along the way, we took some photos of the construction projects around the Magic Kingdom. The courtyard area of Exposition Hall is now open and looks great, with new landscaping and brickwork (below, right).

Everything looks refreshed (below, left), and the Walt Disney World Railroad is easily visible (below, right). I am guessing that the plants will eventually create a new berm.

We rode Dumbo the Flying Elephant (below, left) as part of the Disneyland opening day attractions. We also were able to get video and photos of the construction behind the wall. Timothy Mouse (below, right) rests atop Dumbo.

We took a couple of great shots over the wall (below left and right). Big dirt mounds appeared between the last time we visited and now!

One of the dirt mounds (below, left) is seen over the wall. The former Pooh’s Playful Spot tree is having leaves added to it (below, right) and looks fuller.

Bonus Video – Fantasyland Construction from Dumbo, Walt Disney World 7/17/2010 – The work being done in Fantasyland is seen from high atop a flight with Dumbo. Note: Use of the pause button is recommended to avoid getting dizzy (and useful to see all the construction scenes).

We rode the Liberty Square Riverboat (The Magic Kingdom equivalent to Disneyland’s Mark Twain Riverboat) just before it closed for the evening. That is one of my favorite rides for just relaxing! We deviated slightly from our plan and rode The Many Adventurers Winnie the Pooh, as the lines weren’t too long. The walls in Fantasyland keep moving every time we are there! There is more work being done on Peter Pan as well (below, right).

After we rode another Disneyland opening day attraction, Snow White’s Scary Adventures (below, left), we noticed the Mickey and the Beanstalk theme at Sir Mickey’s (below, right).

After many years of walking through Sir Mickey’s, I’ve never noticed the Giant lifting the roof off the walls (below, left). Peter Pan’s Flight looks beautiful at night, I took this photo of the ride with the moon behind it (below, right).

We rode the Mad Tea Party and Tomorrowland Speedway (The Magic Kingdom equivalent to Disneyland’s Autopia), then stopped for a quick look at the film playing in the back of the Main Street Cinema shop. After that, we watched the Main Street Electrical Parade (below, left), you can see that the cast members are missing their hats – actually a number of things were missing from the parade, we heard there had been a small fire and some items were damaged (hopefully to return soon). Here is also one shot from the Summer Nightastic! Fireworks Show in Fantasyland, we watched from the Dumbo area (below, right).
