Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Construction, Fantasyland Former Skyway Update, Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom: Main Street U.S.A. Portals Begin Testing – Photos and Video

Hi everyone!

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). Please click HERE for all of our past coverage of this exciting new resort dating back to it’s beginnings as Disney’s Pop Century Legendary Years Resort.

 

Our camera offers some great, up-close views on the various courtyard set pieces (below, left). Fish swim at the side of the building, but now we are seeing a little of Crush in the background (below, right).

 

The Finding Nemo section (below, left) will be the first to open in May. Crush (below, right) can be seen now in his shell! He was wrapped until recently.

 

The Cars section (below left and right) showed the least changes visibly of any of the areas, since we last visited a couple of weeks back.  Disney’s Art of Animation Resort is due to open in in phases beginning May of this year. There will be 864 rooms once complete.

 

Icons are being added on the sides of the Lion King buildings (below, left). This notepad (below, right) may eventually reveal Tim and Pumbaa, according to the concept art.

 

The Little Mermaid buildings will include a notepad with Ursula (below, left). This building (below, right) looks like a pool house. This area will be the last to open and the only buildings in the resort to have standard rooms instead of suites.

 

Video #1 – Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Construction Update 1/23/12 Walt Disney World – This is Disney’s Art of Animation Resort construction progress as of January 23, 2012 at Walt Disney World.

At the Magic Kingdom, a crane is now on site for removal of the dream lights from Cinderella Castle (below, left). The crane is behind a wall in back of the Castle (below, left) which takes out at least one Portal from the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game.

 

The bathrooms next to Peter Pan’s Flight will be shut down soon. In the meantime, the remainders of the former Fantasyland Skyway Station are being removed (below left and right) to add new, updated bathrooms. This will eventually be the new path to Liberty Square to make room for the upcoming Peter Pan’s Flight interactive queue.

 

Video #2 – Fantasyland Former Skyway Station Area Construction Update 1/22/12 Magic Kingdom, WDW – This will eventually be the new path to Liberty Square to make room for the upcoming Peter Pan’s Flight interactive queue.

The Main Street U.S.A. Portals for the Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom game are now open! One of the locations is inside the Main Street Cinema (below, left). What looks like artwork is actually two cameras and a screen (below, right). This was our fourth time playing – we are now up to 45 different cards, which included trading all of our doubles. Cruella Devil was our villain on Main Street.

 

The Main Street Train Station has a Portal (below, left). The Christmas windows that featured Mickey’s Christmas Carol were switched back, and now The Little Mermaid’s window is part of the game play (below, right).

 

The Portal inside the Enchanted Grove was now working (below, left). The “Circle of Power” circles that guests stand on are now being changed into permanent metal fixtures (below, right), instead of the former stickers. We have enjoyed playing the game and seeing how it had evolved these last few weeks. We were told there is still much more to be revealed!

 

Video #3 – Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom, Game Completing, Earning Master Sorcerer Badge, 1/17/12 WDW – Even on the beginner’s level, you can become a Master Sorcerer while playing Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom!
