Lego Magic Kingdom

[Lego Disney]

I just wanted to share this with people who would appreciate it.
Well, other than my six-year-old son.
There's plenty more to come!
Enjoy!

Have you considered putting this on Lego Cuusoo?

Impressive. My daughters and I were talking about doing something like this last year. Our plan was to start with the castle, at mini-fig scale, and go from there. Then I did the math and determined that, at mini-fig scale, the castle would be around 4ft tall. (Where minifigs are 1.6" tall and assumed to be 6' tall if real person, castle = 189' tall in real life. 189' / 6' = 31.5 minifigures tall or 31.5 * 1.6" = 50.4" = 4.2'.)

Suffice it to say that it never got past the planning stages.

I didn't really know what that was. Checked it out and I don't really think my thing would be realistic as a set. Possibly as a theme, I guess, if they just did a few of the attractions.

Thanks!
Yeah, mini-fig scale would take this from already-a-little-creepy hobby to more like a second job.
I realized early on that was never going to happen.
Actually started with the castle at my son's request, with no thought of making anything else, but then he wanted more of course...
If I had known, I never would have made the castle that big, it was a lot to live up to. As it is, the scale fluctuates here and there, as some things are less important, and some things just need to be bigger to get good detail (like Space Mountain literally wouldn't work if the ring was one brick smaller).
Just have to tie up some loose ends now, and finish Main Street and the entrance!
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement!

Very cool! I remember a while ago seeing a full version of Hogwarts Castle on Flickr. If you are even remotely curious it's worth searching for, it was incredible.

My initial reaction was, "I can't wait to get home to show this to my kids" and then I realized that THEY would want ME to build it and I am not signing on for that!!! It is really super cool - nice work!!

These look like they should be on display at a Lego store. Excellent.
