Robert Ashburn’s 2/9/12 Magic Kingdom Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Robert Ashburn visited the Magic Kingdom yesterday and has some newsworthy photos to share with us from his trip:
Work continues on the Grand Floridian DVC wing
A banner has been hung for Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
It fits Main Street pretty well yet still sets the scene
This area in Fantasyland finally looks complete
It’s well lit at night
I know we showed this already this week, but here’s the screen menu boards at Cosmic Ray’s
Walls up inside the restaurant
The new Tomorrowland cart at night… we love this thing…
Take a close look for a Walt reference…
“Marty Called Wants Changes”
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CASTLE? CALL 911!
Oh, it’s just Dream Along with Mickey at night…
The romance segment in “The Magic, The Memories, and You!”
Apparently people like these gourmet hot dogs… not us…
Some recently released shirts
I like this new batch of generic logo merchandise not focusing on a year
“I know what we’re gonna do today!” Buy Phineas and Ferb merchandise
Mickey plush available in abundance after the great drought late last year where no Mickeys were available resort wide
Robert Ashburn’s 2/6/12 Magic Kingdom Photo Report
While taken a few days ago, WDWNT Reporter Robert Ashburn visited the Magic Kingdom on Monday and has some newsworthy photos to share with us:
Oops…
The Cosmic Ray’s menu boards weren’t working
Prince Eric’s Castle is coming along nicely at Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
The path to Storybook Circus
Work on the Dumbo queue continues
Beast’s Castle
The lift hill for The Barnstormer looks great, complete with Goofy’s outline
For the first time since work began, the site actually looks pretty clean
Some Imagineer and construction workers under a tent near “Dumbo Ditch”
Paint going on the silver portion of the Dumbo tent
Too far away to see what they are up to…
If you look closely at the Barnstormer building, you can see a banner Goofy has crashed through right above the doorway
We can make out the words “Fly Again”
Dear guests who contribute to other sites, stop standing on stuff. It is stupid, dangerous, and might get you thrown out of the park…
A look toward Storybook Circus
Still can’t see into the tent…
A column remains in “Dumbo Ditch”
Construction being filmed by Disney
The chicken nuggets and sandwich are back at Golden Oak Outpost
Big Thunder Mountain refurbishment continues
Don’t look over here…
The track is being worked on
New roof being installed
Fantasyland Station looks nearly complete
The last remnant of Toontown
The back of the Dumbo queue will be very visible from the Speedway and the Railroad
New railings were installed along the Frontierland bridges during the pavement work
Wow…
Adam Roth’s 2/13/12 Magic Kingdom Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth visited the Magic Kingdom on Monday to do some homework (if only we were so lucky) and he managed to take plenty of newsworthy photos to share with us in the process:
Let’s grab a times guide
The parade route is back to normal
Work continues on the bakery and center street facades
The bakery is open
Plaza Ice Cream still closed
Work continues on the supports in Tomorrowland
This side of the Dumbo queue is finally being painted
Scaffolding coming down on the circus tent queue area
The other Dumbo centrifuge is in place
They are working everyday to get the attraction up and running as soon as possible
Beast’s Castle
The Mermaid rock-work is being extended to hide the show building from view in Storybook Circus
Rooftops and patios are appearing on Prince Eric’s castle
A close-up of the castle
It looks great!
The artwork is back on the great wall of Fantasyland
The Castle Wall is finally showing some progress
The Seven Dwarves Mine shop lives out a stay of execution until the wall moves this direction
Walkways are still tight at the moment
This is the first time we’ve actually seen people working on the wall
We can see some detail at the top of the wall
The Fantasyland Skyway station is gones and now we have a giant pile of dirt
You can clearly see The Hauted Mansion, but this will change
Just a lot of dirt…
Work on the Peter Pan’s Flight queue continues
Walls up where the pathway will go next to the Haunted Mansion
Hard to believe this opened almost a year ago
It has grown in nicely
Some things were changed…
Some things were added as less-than-capable guests walked through…
Other things that were added
The pet cemetary is missing some pieces while the new path is worked on
Time for some Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom
Pongo looks a little angry…
Love the cards
What’s the best part about Sorcerers? Inclusion of often ignored characters
The old Fife & Drum food service location closed for decades is back in use
This is a second location where you can begin your quest
This card has been changed to remove Slinky Dog from the background. Apprently, Disney doesn’t have the rights to use him…
Frontierland Trading Post still behind tarps
The tower that the Barnstormer will now crash through looks finished
The Big Thunder Mountain refurb rolls on
Lift hill replacemtn and roof repairs being done now
Some paint has also been applied to lower level rock-work
Progress is appearing rapidly

Hi there
Still there…
Roof is covered
The Barnstormer is just about finished
A fair amount of landscaping left to complete
The backside of the Dumbo building
Adam Roth’s 12/26/11 WDW Photo Report
WDWNT Reporter Adam Roth recently visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios and the Magic Kingdom and took a TON of newsworthy photos to share with us, so strap in for a lengthy look around Walt Disney World:
Adam caught the Comedy Warehouse Holiday Special inside the ABC Sound Studio, former home of Sounds Dangerous
In case you don’t know, Comedy Warehouse was a club at Pleasure Island
Just a sticker, but shows effort for a very temporary attraction
Control booth
The show is improv, comedy’s ugly cousin…
OK…
I’ve been running this site for five years, and this is easily the lowest moment…
Adam enjoyed it and so did guests, so we’ll see what the future holds…
Booths from the Food & Wine festival being used to meet dining demands
The Magic of Disney animation added a campus map a while ago… it’s trying to look like a real animation studio
Nothing says Italian like fast food meatballs…
The Premiere Theater is showing holiday cartoons
“Curse you Perry the Platypus!”
The daily schedule
The “italian” restaurant
It looks awful…
The stage is set for New Year’s Eve
Adam is a good colorer…
I’m so proud…
The Monsters University logo now up inside the Magic of Disney Animation
Moving to the Magic Kingdom, we arrive at Sleepy Hollow
What could we be here for?
Of course!
Here is the chicken sandwich without the usual spread
The ham, prosciutto, and swiss sandwich
The Diamond Horseshoe was open
Somewhere, a child cries…
“MICKEY!”
Mickey’s Once Upon a Christmastime Parade is performing daily now
“Yay! We didn’t have to buy a party ticket! But this place is packed…”
Christopher Robin was added to the parade this year, but the Pooh tree float is gone
Duffy joins the fun
The skiers were new for this year
Awwwww…
Bo Creep… I mean, Bo Peep
A personal favorite
Another personal favorite
However long that is, it’s too long…
Too long!
Could we cut out this step thing!
Storybook Circus construction as seen from the TTA
The lower level rock-work taking shape at Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
The back of the Dumbo queue building was painted green
Three digits…
A Totally Tomorrowland Christmas is performing daily
Spot the Captain EO reference?
Eye did! Get it? Eye did!
Instead of having him on screen, Stitch appears on stage now
Some new props had to be made for the changes
The new tower at Barnstormer is rising up around the track
There is a lot of color on the Dumbo queue
They are pretty much rebuilding the old tents
Oooooo, I spot a dirty word…
Scaffolding up over the Dumbo queue building
The roof over the two covered queue areas is coming along
You can see the new Dumbo spinner through the queue
The train station is almost done
Another look at Under the Sea: Journey of the Little Mermaid
The caverns are now visible
Belle’s Village is starting to look good
Another look at the Storybook Circus train station

A panoramic view of construction
Some of the Storybook Circus pavement has been revealed
wagon wheel marks and horse footprints litter the path, a beautiful detail
The mountain range looks great
The sun sets on the old Dumbo…
Some work has been done on the Castle Wall
A stone wall has popped up next to it
The edge of the rock-work
A chimney through the trees
Holy Nana!
You’d have to have a hook for a brain to wait in that
“it’s a long line”
Nice sign
The new path near the Haunted Mansion is being worked on
Non-alcoholic sangria from Tortuga Tavern
YUM!
Time to light the Castle
Purty…
New details were unveiled in the Town Square Theater queue for Mickey
Notes for advertisements made by Mickey sit on a bulletin board
Gotta love these details
Mailboxes
A reference to the first attraction in this space, the Walt Disney Story
The Bill Justice character mural that used to stand in this space lives on with these rolled up pictures of it in one of the mailboxes
A great addition to a pretty bland room of the queue
A new Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom window in Fantasyland
Hidden camera
Another window in Fantasyland
This appears to be Merlin’s house as you can see Archimedes’ bird house in the back
Another Fantasyland window
Not so hidden
The last reference to Tinker Bell’s Treasures has been turned into a Sorcerers window
The Main Street Electrical Parade is supposedly leaving before Summer 2012, so get in your last views while you can
The holiday edition of “The Magic, the Memories, and You!” is still performing
Some Holiday Wishes! photos
Yowza…
Quick, let’s take the secret exit out of this photo report!
