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
Back to Under the Sea
Prince Eric’s castle
Notice Mr. Stork at the top of the new Dumbo spinner
Back to Belle’s village
Maurice’s cottage
Be Our Guest restuarant
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
