PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 11/8/16 (Big Thunder Refurbishment, Christmas Decorations, Space Mountain, ETC.)

WDWNT on November 18, 2016

In our latest photo report, the Magic Kingdom’s mountain range is getting spruced up and more and more holiday decorations are covering the park. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Space Mountain

Scaffolding is up around Space Mountain as cosmetic changes continue in Tomorrowland.

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

Decorating at the Magic Kingdom wasn’t quite finished in our last photo report, but every last wreath and tree is up now:

The Magic Kingdom times guide is now separated by land.

The Christmas tree on Main Street U.S.A. was installed.

The wreaths on the Main Street facades are up as well.

Christmas in Fantasyland

Belle’s village has been decorated for the season as well.

Some new Beauty and the Beast art for sale in Bonjour Village Gifts, in both giclee and print form.

Rollin’ on the Rivers of America

It can be unmercifully hot aboard the Liberty Square Riverboat during the summer months, but I often find myself aboard once the weather cools down at this time of year. Also, it offers a great view of the ongoing work on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is set to reopen on November 18th.

The questions continue as to if we will be getting the explosive finale scene already featured at Disneyland.

New nighttime lighting has been installed on the mountain as part of the ongoing refurbishment:

Facade work on the Haunted Mansion continues as well.

This and That

Guests still can’t seem to understand signage…

The Enchanted Tiki Room issue #1 is finally available in Adventureland. It is not a park exclusive cover, but it is a variant cover from the normal issues available elsewhere.

Decorations are now up on the back of Cinderella Castle.

I don’t often take artsy pictures, but Storybook Circus is so photogenic at night.

As always, the Magic Kingdom is beautiful in the evening, but it takes on a special glow during the holiday season.

The newly remodeled Uptown Jewelers is decorated for Christmas quite nicely.

The Christmas cups are now available at most counter service eateries.

GOOOOOAAAALLLLLLLLL!

Mickey Mouse Major League Soccer pins are now for sale at the parks, including Orlando’s own Orlando City team.

New limited release MagicBands for sale include Christmas and Twilight Zone Tower of Terror designs.

A seat cushion is now being sold at the parks, perfect for parade and nighttime show viewing according to the tags.

A new Little Green Men castle photo holder for sale.

Of course, Star wars couldn’t get left out…

Disney Previews Home Goods for Fans Featuring Orange Bird, Tiki Room & More, Arriving Soon at the Marketplace Co-Op

WDWNT on March 31, 2014

One of the six boutiques inside the Marketplace Co-Op coming to Walt Disney World this summer is Centerpiece, a home goods store with some unique Disney Parks flavor. We already previewed a few select pieces this store will be carrying in a post a few weeks back, but today Disney gave us a look at much, much more of the merchandise we will be able to find there:

Among the items will be these pillows, featuring the Little Orange Bird, Adventureland, the Enchanted Tiki Room, and some Magic Kingdom icons:

Also, a number of Adventureland and Jungle Cruise themed items!!!

Here are some mugs, bowls, plates and such inspired by the Polynesian Resort, Tiki Room, and Adventureland in general:

There is an entire line of attraction poster glassware as well, but my personal favorite is the Splash Mountain plate…

Also, assorted land plates and glasses, a very cue Mr. Toad holding a serving tray, Mad Tea Party salt and pepper shakers, and what appear to be Sleeping Beauty Castle cookie jars:

After many years of complaining it seems like not only will Downtown Disney once again have a home store, but fans will be able to find the type of merchandise they would love to fill their homes with. Stay tuned to WDW News Today as more information becomes available on the Marketplace Co-Op.

So, what do you think of this upcoming merchandise? Is it exactly what you were hoping for?
