Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
In terms of construction updates, we’ve seen a few things taking place over the past few days, especially those days in advance of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations.
In front of Cinderella Castle, we spotted some trees up around some of the outer areas (though this was in advance of the 50th Anniversary).
We also spotted a number of cool Imagineering details outside of the Confectionery that play into the spot’s backstory.
Inside the Confectionery you’ll find more details about the characters pictured in the window, so be sure to look for that!
We also spotted some filming going on throughout the park as Disney was preparing for the 50th.
Disney was certainly busy making sure everything was in tip top shape for October 1st. On October 1st, we finally got to see a lot of that hard work pay off. More about the new 50th stuff in a second.
