Re-construction at Disney

Posted on August 25, 2010February 22, 2017 by Ian C.

We went to Magic Kingdom for a short time this morning (before I started to feel temporarily unwell) … there was LOTS of (re)construction. Around near the Winnie The Pooh ride there is work going on for Belle’s Castle – right now you can see big mounds being constructed high above the barrier walls. But also, the Winnie The Pooh ride itself was walled off with a corridor to reach the actual ride (maybe they are moving the Winnie The Pooh tree there), and various other work in the area – including this:

Florida to 8002

Another 460 miles today took us from the edge of Florida, down to about halfway, and our second home 8002 near Walt Disney World; on the way we visited the “Truman House” and Seaside (where the Truman movie was filmed):

Disneyland

While we are so close, Margaret wanted to visit Disneyland California – I wasn’t keen on paying full price ($180 for parking and entry!), but the visit was quite interesting, although the beginning was rather busy!

Lots of the same rides as Magic Kingdom, though the park is much much smaller; but many rides have the same name but are quite different … Tiki birds here is not “under new management”, Pirates of the Caribbean is a lot less “Jack Sparrow” themed, and Haunted Mansion is very different in and out. It’s a small world was different too with a big facade on the front, and interesting bushes.

We wanted to try the Matterhorn ride, but the queues were crazy! So we rode the monorail, which is a ride – almost a roller coaster – instead of transportation.
