I spent a long day at the Magic Kingdom Saturday. Summer crowds were evident, but it wasn’t oppressive. If anything it might have been a little lighter than usual. But that may be related to changed vacation patterns with the holiday weekend coming up.
Sadly, the park appears to be cutting back on some of the simplest maintenance. Many attractions were covered in litter. Splash Mountain was particularly bad with water bottles and gum on nearly every surface. We went on Splash 5 minutes after opening too, so there was no excuse not to clean up during the over night shift.
Ended the night with a viewing of Spectromagic. They’ve slowly been upgrading this old parade and last night I noticed a ton of new costumes. It’s still a great parade, but it could use some additional sprucing up and perhaps a new float or two. Technology has advanced so far since when it was created, you know there is some out of this world stuff they could be doing.
I’ve put a few photos down below and more up on Flickr for your browsing pleasure.
Here’s a quick video introducing Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom in song and dance. Check out the groovy outfits. Those dancers are the “Kids Of The Kingdom”. The park was a few weeks from opening to the public, note the very unfinished Tomorrowland.
