I was going to write a long introductory paragraph, link to part 1, and then maybe do a little song and dance number. But forget that. Let’s get right to part two of the Magic Kingdom Update from December 19, 2011.
On the left and top you can see the rock work is pretty much done. Wow, that’s certainly a lot of grey. I guess we’ll see how it looks up close when the walls come down.
A little closer look at the ongoing rock work. Beast’s castle sure looks good.
Lots of work on Gaston’s Village, but right on the other side of that wall is also a big pit for the Dwarfs Mine Train roller coaster. Watch out for that first step, it’s a doozy.

Tom Bricker, whose Disneyland Christmas Timelapse Video we posted earlier, is back with a timelapse photography look at Walt Disney World during the merriest season.

I love my walks through the Magic Kingdom. This last Sunday was extra nice. The winter holiday crowds were out in force, but that only makes people watching better. The weather was just on the chilly side of perfect, which suits me fine this time of year. And a lot of changes have transpired since last time we updated from the park. So many, that this is a two part update.
Let’s, as they say, get on with the show:
The Haunted Mansion merchandise cart is gone and walls are up. This is likely the start of the new landscaping and path to Fantasyland that will be built as part of the new restrooms at the old Skyway location.
Over at the old Skyway location, hard to tell if more work has been done. Doesn’t look like it. But it is the last Christmas these particular decorations will be hung. I wouldn’t mind having them for my home.
The full tarp is up around Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel. Gives riders a new experience inside.

I don’t know about you, but I could watch Chef Scott Hunnel talk about food all day. Here, Chef Hunnel reveals one of the latest creations on the Remy menu — Jamon Wrapped Shrimp, a mouthwatering Italian-concept dish that is both salty and sweet. Of course, you have to be lucky enough to have a trip booked on the Disney Dream to experience it, so I’m happy they’re sending out these tempting videos:
One of the promises of the high end dining restaurants on the Disney Dream was that the dishes would be regularly re-invented, so repeat visitors would not experience the same food twice. So far they’re living up to that promise nicely. Does this video make you more likely to book a trip with Disney Cruise Line?
