The first real details of the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train attraction are beginning to emerge
Earlier today, the Magic Kingdom opened “A Pirate’s Adventure: Treasures of the Seven Seas” for a few hours to guests as part of a very early play-test. The attraction does not currently have an opening date, but we were informed today that what we would see during the course of this test is a very early version of the attraction, so please keep in mind that things may change a lot before this attraction actually opens.
Guests are recruited at the former Crow’s Nest in Adventureland and are given a map and magic talisman to go off on one of five pirate raids through Adventureland. Only two of these raids were available today. The raids are similar to Sorcerers in the Magic Kingdom as guests are sent station to station following a map to complete assignments. The actions in this particular attraction are a lot more automated, but all of the effects involve physical effects instead of screens much like Agent P’s World Showcase Adventure.
Here is video of one of the raids:
UPDATE: We also have video of the second raid that was play-tested today at the Magic Kingdom:
For older guests who know the park well, a raid should take no more than 7-10 minutes. For younger or inexperienced guests, Disney expects it to take somewhere between 15-20 minutes. The attraction is intended for children ages 8-10, so don’t expect to have the time of your life if you are an older guest. That being said, I felt the physical props better fit the park than the screens used in Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.
Stay tuned for more coverage of A Pirate’s Adventure as we get closer to the official opening of this attraction.
So, what do you think of A Pirate’s Adventure so far?
Disney announced today that it will unveil a Monsters University themed monorail before the film’s release on June 21st, 2013 (click for larger image):
We expect this monorail to run mostly on the Epcot monorail line.
So, what do you think about this “Monsterail” coming to Walt Disney World?
WDWNT Reporter Dirk Wallen caught the Monsters University monorail in action a short while ago:

Artist Mike Vetrone just sent us pictures of his newest creation. My jaw dropped. This depiction of Beauty and the Beast is simply stunning. I love the added touch on the wheels. Take a look and let us know what you think…
Disney Interactive’s it’s a small world: the animated series debuted today across multiple portals including Disney.com, Disney’s Youtube channel and throughout Disney’s connected TV apps.
The new original online series, sponsored exclusively by Rosetta Stone, exploits the interactive medium to bring the classic Disney experience to life online for a new generation of fans. The eight episode series will introduce families to new words and customs from around the world.
Featuring original music from Richard Sherman, the legendary songwriter behind the attraction’s theme song, it’s a small world: the animated series will take viewers on a journey with a group of children from different countries as they explore new lands across the globe in a digital narrative brought to life through animation that was inspired by Mary Blair’s original design for the wildly popular theme park attraction.
Check out the first episode below:
Walt Disney Imagineering recently reached another milestone in the construction of the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train attraction with the overnight addition of a few scenic elements guests will encounter at the top of the mine train’s first lift. When mine cars pull out of the load area, they’ll travel up the track to the top of the mountain, where a jib crane sits topped by two ominous vultures, the latter of which originally appeared in the park’s original Snow White’s Scary Adventures attraction. This is the last stop before the mine train’s cars plunge into a mine shaft.
The lovable world of Sleepy, Doc, Grumpy, Bashful, Sneezy, Happy and Dopey comes to life in spring 2014 when the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train takes New Fantasyland guests on a rollicking, musical ride into the mine “where a million diamonds shine.” Inspired by the 1937 Disney animated film classic “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” the fun starts as guests cross a stone bridge and walk through a beautiful forest with the Dwarfs’ cottage in the distance, leading to the entrance to the attraction — and immersion into the endearing story of the radiant and kindhearted Snow White and her forest friends led by the lovable Dwarfs.
After passing through an interactive pre-show area with fun activities themed to mining, guests will proceed to the mine train. Just like the iconic movie, surprises are in store! The family-style coaster will feature first-of-its-kind ride vehicles mounted in cradle-like pivots that allow the vehicles to swing back and forth during the ride. Adding to the fun, the journey will be accompanied by beloved music from the film classic and there’s a cast of animated figures of Snow White, the Seven Dwarfs and playful forest critters.
