I have some photos and video from around Walt Disney World starting with Pleasure Island (below). It seems the Celebrate Tonight theme has made it’s way to the Island and I am told there will be nighttime entertainment offered going forward.
Next is the Contemporary Resort and Bay Lake Tower (below left). The Fantasia Market (below right) will replace the Concourse Sundries-Spirits shop which closed on January 20th.
I have recently released Volume 2 in a series of Walt Disney World parade DVDs. The first volume is called Magic Kingdom Parade Classics (if you enjoyed parades like “Mickey Mania” and the “Remember the Magic Parade”, then check below for more details or to order!). This latest Volume, Magic Kingdom Parade Classics 2 features more current parades and includes the nighttime bonus “SpectroMagic”. Please check below for more details or to order.
The former Wonders of Life Pavilion (Above, left) becomes Garden Town for the festival. The Flowered Quilt display (Above, right) continues to grow in nicely.
This is a very colorful and photogenic parade, especially with the Cinderella Castle as a backdrop!
It is really fun to get out into the street and interact with the dancers and characters. I recorded this 5 times during my visit and wish I had a chance to get into the street and enjoy it fully! I plan to do just that on my next trip.
It is also great to see more obscure park characters, like Sebastianthe Crab and the Mad Hatter! Currently “Move It! Shake It! Celebrate It! Street Party!” happens at 11:00, 12:30 & 5:45pm.
I am just putting the finishing touches on my new Magic Kingdom Parade Classics DVD (if you enjoyed past parades like “Mickey Mania” and the “Remember the Magic Parade”, then check below for more details and your first chance to order!)
