Magic Kingdom: Pictures from a Sunday stroll

Poinsettias are front and center at Magic Kingdom entrance.

Sunday we walked through Magic Kingdom park, admiring the first round of holiday decorations, but we also got an eyefull of (still-closed) Space Mountain, Princess Tiana in action, perhaps a pinch of tomorrow’s Fantasyland and a couple of other little touches we hadn’t noticed before.

Main Street has the usual wreath treatment. No tree up as of Sunday.

Most of the decor is up where there Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party is most active.

The old SuperSonic stage appears to be regeared for the Totally Tomorrowland Christmas show, part of Very Merry this year (as seen from Tomorrowland Transit Authority).

Again from TTA, behind the construction walls of Space Mountain (which I hear went down today).

Inside Space Mountain, Take 1.

After the jump: non-holiday, non-Space Mountain pictures.

Let's peer into the woods near good ol' Fantasyland. Blue machinery? New Fantasyland?

Princess Tiana and Prince Naveen encourage a shy guest at their autograph station behind the Christmas shoppe.

Meanwhile at Tiana's Showboat Jubilee, Dr. Facilier is up to no good, Naveen must pick three cards and it all goes bad. (Facilier is later pronounced a "phoney baloney.")

Back on Main Street, I had not noticed a new structure that replaces the hat-heavy cart. This helps traffic, and the style mirrors the info stand on the other side of the street.

Finally, folks can peak into Pirates League from the gift shop at the end of Pirates of the Caribbean. It was a shame for the great room to be hidden from most eyes. Our thumbs arrrrrrrrrrr up.
