Hi everyone!
I spent yesterday at the Magic Kingdom, where there are many changes afoot. Entering past Cinderella Castle (below, right), I headed to Liberty Square. A year after the updated Hall of Presidents (below, right) premiered, it is still as popular and well received as it was then. I am currently working on a Hall of Presidents DVD that will feature the 3 previous versions as well as the current version and more. Check back here for details and release information.
The work continues in Liberty Square on the side of the Liberty Tree Tavern (below left and right). The Liberty Bell replica (below left) was cast from the mold of the actual Liberty Bell in Philadelphia. A sign explains that it is the only bell ever cast from these molds.
You can see some new landscaping along the front of the Liberty Tree Tavern (below left and right), where the walls just came down. It looks great!
Over in Adventureland, an old friend has returned to the Sunshine Tree Terrace (below, left). The Orange Bird was the official mascot of the Florida Citrus Growers (the original Enchanted Tiki Room sponsor). When that sponsorship ended in 1986 the Orange Bird flew away along with the full size walk-around version I remember meeting when I was a kid.
As we enter Fantasyland, you can see work is now being done on the corner between the Peter Pan’s Flight show building and the Mickey’s PhilharMagic exit (below, left and right).
Fantasyland Forest construction continues, and the wall (below, left) should be moved back soon to give more room for guests. Construction was going full force (below, right) while I was there yesterday.
Video #1 – Fantasyland Construction, Walt Disney World, July 7th, 2010 – Construction equipment moves around dirt in preparation for the new Fantasyland.
From the balcony of Pinocchio’s Village Haus, more construction is visible (below left and right).
Video #2 – Fantasyland construction from Dumbo The Flying Elephant, Walt Disney World July 7th, 2010 – This is a peek over the wall at what is going on with the construction of Fantasyland!
Scaffolding is up on the former Pooh’s Playful Spot tree (below, left). The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Fastpass machines have been temporally relocated to Mickey’s PhilharMagic while construction continues on the tree, fastpass distribution area and new queue.
Guests visit Mickeys PhilharMagic (below, left) and pick up their Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh Fastpasses (below, right).
Many Adventurers of Winnie the Pooh fastpass machines (below, left) and a sign (below, right) explaining that they are for Pooh sit in front of the PhilharMagic attraction.
Video #3 – The Many Adventurers of Winnie the Pooh, Getting a Fastpass, Fantasyland Walk-Through, Walt Disney World July 7th, 2010 – You can see where the new construction areas are, and where the Fastpass machines are for The Adventures of Winnie the Pooh.
