Fantasyland Update - Bay Lake Tower Photos & More
Even though it had been raining for quite a bit, we ventured to the Magic Kingdom to take some pictures of the current work being done in the Fantasyland area of the Magic Kingdom. Let's take a look at what has changed.
We'll start our update with some pictures taken from the top of Bay Lake Tower:
It started raining quite hard, so we couldn't take good pictures:
An overview of the Beauty and the Beast's area:
A bird was staring at Space Mountain:
...thinking about going to space...
...maybe not.
Now, let's take a look at some pictures taken from inside the park, starting from the Skyway, which still hasn't received any further change or addition:
The water has assumed a stronger green coloration:
No, nothing new to report:
The sky was promising some more rain:
The "It's a Small World" facade really needs to be refurbished again:
Take a close look:
It is literally crumbling:
They should get rid of these fake tents. They already look pretty bad when they are freshly painted, imagine how they look when they are like this:
Work on Pinocchio's Village Haus' roof is almost done:
Now they're focusing on the other side of the Village Haus:
Repaving still in progress near Prince Charming Royal Carousel:
Work on the new castle walls continue:
The Beauty and the Beast's area:
The roof of Belle's Cottage is really coming along:
The beautiful Beast's Castle:
A look at the Little Mermaid's area:
A big hole has now appeared inside the Little Mermaid's building:
Yep, this is the back of the fake rock formation that will be seen inside the ride!:
Some higher-resolution photos of the area we are talking about:
Working equipment can be seen all over the place:
Some work is being done near Dumbo:
They're probably preparing the area for the castle walls:
Storybook Circus:
Work also continues on the Enchanted Grove:
...and then it started to rain again, so we had to take shelter, of course.
This means that our update is over. Thank you very much for viewing, and have a wonderful rest of the day!
Beast's castle certainly looks in its element in that sort of weather. I love the dark feel. I wish we got a better view of the iconic bridge. I kind of wish they had lowered the rock work around it so we could have a view similar to that of Hogwart's viaduct. I'd imagine that would throw off the forced perspective though.

ReplyDeleteThe hole at Mermaids is right at the end where the meet-and-greet with Ariel will be.
oooh the mist really adds to the effect of the new Fantasyland! :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the bird shot!
Maybe some of that "Heavy Equipment" could come fix Small World :::wink, wink:::
We are heading on Friday for MNSSHP. Our first time for that! Thanks for getting me excited. I think tonight we'll go to HS.....I'm needing an Aerosmith fix! LOL
Shelly
great update, and thanks so much for trying to get shots from bay lake tower, i love those!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the great comments!
ReplyDeleteOldBlueEyes, you are right! That is the spot for the Little Mermaid's meet-and-greet! Thank you very much for pointing that out!
And, Shelly, have a really fantastic vacation!!
Seeing the tents on it's a small world cracked makes me nervous about the roofs of Beast's castle. They aren't shingled. They're a solid material...Maybe they'll be sturdier?
