Circus Train
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I think that I’m far enough away that I won’t be getting wet. I wish that there were places like this when I was a kid. I would have loved it!
Calliope
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
There’s so much to see in the new expanded area of Fantasyland and I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. It’s a shame that most of what’s in this area is closed already.
Under the Big Top
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This gift shop looks very unique and original but I’m a bit tired to look all through it right now. I’ll definitely be coming back though!
No Popcorn
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
It’s too bad that this popcorn stand is closed because I could really go for a snack right now. I like how they kept the circus train theme for everything in this area. I’d like to come back hereRead more
Grand Prix Raceway
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This isn’t one of my favorite attractions and I don’t know if I’ll even ride it on this trip. I think that the Grand Prix Raceway is more fun to ride when you do it with a group. Riding it aloneRead more
The Mad Tea Party
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This is an attraction that I enjoy watching, and love taking pictures of, but I won’t ride it. I don’t do well on spinning rides and fast spinning is what this attraction is all about.
Happy Halloween!
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
The decorations for Halloween look wonderful! It’s always great to be in the Disney parks during holiday seasons although the photos end up looking a bit dated. I mean, something like this can onlyRead more
The Castle
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
The castle looks great at night! Well, it looks great anytime of day but the lighting at night make it seem extra special!
A Look Inside
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Since the park is quite empty, due to the very late hour, I’m able to get a look at the passage going through the castle and into Fantasyland. Normally this corridor is filled with people. I like itRead more
If the Shoe Fits
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
On the walls of the castle’s corridor are beautiful mosaics showing the story of Cinderella. They are all so colorful and vibrant!
Poor Cinderella!
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I’m surprised by how many people just walk on through this hallway and don’t even look at these beautiful mosaics. Everyone should slow down and take a moment to see, and appreciate, the beautyRead more
Getting Ready to Leave
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
I’m ready to start leaving the Magic Kingdom and head back to the hotel now. Main Street looks fantastic! Maybe I’ll take a few more pictures as I leave…
A Look Back
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
With one last look back at the castle, I’m ready to proceed down Main Street and leave the Magic Kingdom. I’ll be coming back soon though!
Making My Way Out
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
As I make my way down Main Street USA, I’m very surprised by how many people are still here despite the late hour. Like me, these must be the real diehard Disney fans!
Casey’s Corner
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
This place is well known for having great hot dogs. I’m very hungry and kind of in the mood for one but, unfortunately, they are closed right now. I would have been very surprised if they had beenRead more
Mickey Pumpkins
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
These Mickey Mouse pumpkins must be a recurring theme because I’m seeing them hanging up all over the park. Here on Main Street, they are on every streetlight.
The Emporium
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
The Emporium is, arguably, the best shop in Walt Disney World. They have a little bit of everything and there’s so much to see in this great store. I’m not surprised that this place is still open!
The Confectionery
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
The Magic Kingdom candy shop sells some amazing, and tasty, things but, like almost everything else, they are closed already. I’m definitely going to come back here again!
Main Street Theater
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ ⛅ 73 °F
The Main Street Theater is one of the very few places in the Magic Kingdom that I’ve never gone inside. I’m trying to do as many new things as I can at Walt Disney World as I can this year soRead more
Scarecrows
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
As I came into the Magic Kingdom I rushed right by these scarecrows but, now that I’ve got a bit more time, let’s take a look at them.
The Mayor
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Scarecrows always seem to be portrayed as evil. Both DC and Marvel have a comic character named “Scarecrow,” though they are completely different characters. In both universes, they are villains.
Do Scarecrows Really Work?
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Scarecrows work quite well on some species of birds. Tests with scarecrows around small ponds reported a significant decrease in visits to those ponds by ducks. The crow is much smarter than yourRead more
Let’s Play Ball
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
Ever since seeing the Wizard of Oz, scarecrows have had a certain fascination for me. They can be friendly and whimsical, like the ones seen here, or they can be very creepy and sinister.
Scarecrows Original Name
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌧 72 °F
In the United States, immigrant German farmers made human looking scarecrows called “bootzamon,” which later changed to bogeyman. They were dressed in old clothes with a large red handkerchiefRead more
The Band Leader
October 22, 2013 in the United States ⋅ 🌙 73 °F
To be honest, I usually prefer the creepy and sinister variety of scarecrow. They seem much more exciting and it’s much more common to see that type in movies.
