A Day at the Park: Magic Kingdom

Before moving into this post, I'll address the 800 pound gorilla in the room. Hello, Gorilla! Okay, now that we're done with that, I'll explain the name change. You may have noticed that the title of this blog has gone from "It's Another Disney Blog" to "Cheap 3D Tricks". While the generic-ness of the old title may have been fitting, I didn't think it was the best thing for the blog in the long-term and decided to find something a little better suited.

I'm sure many of you are familiar with Muppetvision 3D and will understand the reference immediately. If not, in Muppetvision 3D, when Kermit is introducing guests to the Muppet Labs he assures the guests of the quality of Muppetvision 3D and informs the guests that they will not be stooping to any cheap 3D tricks. Right on cue, Fozzie appears, blowing a party favor at the audience, showering them with a flower that squirts water and opening a can of spring-loaded snakes towards the audience. All the types of stereotypical 3D effects that Kermit was hoping to avoid. Cheap, tacky, gimmicky tricks. And that's why I feel it's a fitting title for this blog!

Now that we've cleared that up, let's move on to some photos and updates from a recent adventure-filled trip to the Magic Kingdom.

New Fantasyland under construction, here's Beast's Castle. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done!

The Country Bear Jamboree continues to be entertaining, although a little less than before.

Nothing says "Made Fresh" like a Disneyland Rice Krispie Treat at Walt Disney World!

Riverboat doing its riverboat thing from Thunder Mountain

Possums are swinging

The Storybook Circus portion is open, though. Maybe we can let off a little steam here. See because the train is...oh nevermind.

The rest of Fantasyland opened, and I won't lie

It looks great!

A look at the Castle before we move over to Tomorrowland to kick off the evening

Hey Rover

I think this is called Crawford City?

Goodbye Tomorrowland. Goodbye abandoned stroller

Back in Old Fantasyland, testing for some updates to Mission: Space is being done at the Carousel.

The Haunted Mansion is looking especially spooky tonight, perhaps because it's close to Halloween.

The lighting can be a bit harsh at night, but check out these statues they add to the hub for Halloween

Okay the park's been closed for like an hour now, Mickey and Walt are keeping an eye on Main Street. Time to go.

 I hope you enjoyed part two of this series. If you did, look forward to Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom updates in the near future! If not, look forward to the next two anyway because maybe you'll like them better!
