Magic Kingdom Hub Construction Update (Nov. 16, 2014)


Plenty of progress has been done around the central hub of the Magic Kingdom Park since our last visit. Many of the small, themed walls that will soon surround new gardens and fountains are now almost show-ready, and other miscellaneous work continues to be done in many sections of this area of the park. Come along with us, and check out the current status of the work being done. The park's central hub will look beautiful once the project is completed:


Welcome to the Magic Kingdom Park:

  3. Why are the wreaths on Main Street so ugly and out of scale? They couldn't of come up with a better replacement for the fantastic garland?

  4. @ Anon, I agree they're not attractive, but what would you consider "in scale" be?

    At night with everything lit up they seem to look okay, but during the day they stand out like sore thumbs. I wonder, maybe a better replacement would have been to do nothing.

  5. Looking great! Btw, I love the new garland decor. Its clean and less cluttered as previous years. It also doesn't block the view of the castle in photos.

  7. I can't believe just how long this is taking, with very little progress visible. I know there's probably more going on than we can see, but it seems whenever phots are shown there are never any workmen around actually doing anything!!!!

  8. Disney doesn't want you to hear the working going on so they work at night
