Magic Kingdom Update: No More Slow Season (PART 1)

"Where in the world has the slow season gone?" That's exactly what we thought during our most recent trip to the Magic Kingdom. The first two or three weeks of May have always been viewed as the best time to visit the Central Florida theme parks.

Now that the rant is over, let's walk around the park.

A sea of crowds could be seen along Main Street U.S.A.:



The parade passed by the area more than an hour later:

Work continues to take place on the Castle Stage:






The stage itself has been completely resurfaced:






We had never noticed these stairs before:

The Jungle Cruise's wait time was not too bad:




Do you remember when Pirates of the Caribbean was a walk-through attraction? I do!:




It's time to visit Frontierland:




Almost an hour wait for Splash Mountain. It is worth it, though!:




Moving on:

The Frontierland Hoedown is still a nice surprise for Guests:







The Liberty Square Riverboat Landing is being refurbished:
