This photo report may be a bit late, but I figured it was better lat than never. I have been all over the Walt Disney World parks the last few days and I have taken a lot of photos, so let’s look at what is new and noteworthy at the Vacation Kingdom of the World:
A ton of new merchandise has been released at Disney’s Polynesian Resort
Window decal
Magnet
Mug
Shot-glass… I mean toothpick holder
I really like the artwork a lot
Moving to the Magic Kingdom, there are some new hats for sale in the Emporium
Those are… different…
There is now a trading box just for Park Starz Vinylmation at Frontierland Trading Outpost
A strange wall up in Liberty Square, somewhat near the Haunted Mansion
The canopy was recently replaced in the Haunted Mansion queue
Some work is taking place on the second level of Grizzly Hall, so the Country Bear Jamboree sign is down
You can now get a frozen root beer slush at Pecos Bill’s
More importantly, you can get it in a Lone Ranger boot-shaped cup!
It’s actually quite big
Tarps are down at Princess Fairytale Hall, but we still can’t see much…
Work continues on the much-anticipated Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train attraction
A section on the back of the mountain is out from behind walls
It serves as stroller parking for Under The Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
Triton’s Treasures looks like it might open very soon
The path to Storybook Circus from Mermaid is now officially open all the time
There is stroller parking for Ariel’s Grotto as well
A look at the other side of the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
Moving to Epcot, that new food cart that never opened has now been ripped down again…
I’m not really sure what the deal is with this kiosk and if it will ever actually open
One of the escalators in The Land is being repaired
The Mickey made of hops is growing in nicely at Living with the Land
With the escalator broken, the backstage area near Soarin’ is being used to exit guests out of the bottom floor of The Land
Cool
It dumps guests out by the Imagination! restrooms
There are some cool attraction poster magnets being sold now
Some new iPhone 5 cases have been released, including Oswald
New Grumpy case for the iPhone 4S
“Mine!” case for the iPhone 5
New Mickey case for the iPhone 5
There was a new Star Tours case for the iPhone 4S and 5 out at Tatooine Traders a few days ago, but last we checked it had sold out for the 5
Staying at Studios, FastPass+ signage about to go up at Disney Junior
Some props and costumes from Oz: The Great and Powerful are now on display at the AFI Showcase
There is a wacky souvenir cup that comes in two sizes now available at Backlot Express….
The Monsters University topiary from the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival has found its way to the front of Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the Monstrous Summer
Going back to Epct, they have changed the tarps for Spice Road Table in Morocco to photo tarps that blend in
Work continues on the new, larger restrooms at the American Adventure
There are some cool Summer Vacation shirts now on sale
Going back to the Magic Kingdom, the FastPass+ entrance at “it’s a small world” is ready to go
The normal entrance now has a stand-by entrance sign
A more recent look at the Seven Dwarfs’ Mine Train
A metal wall has risen where the track appeared over the construction walls in the back of the mountain
You can now purchase your own Gaston’s Tavern sign at Bonjour Village Gifts
