Magic Kingdom live updates- Monday, February 1st, 2010

[need2go2wdw]

I'm with tiaragirl on this one...I'm now VERY depressed that I am not there too Seeing pics of MK while someone is actually there makes it sooo much harder not to jump in the car and go! I want to be there so bad right now! I realize I am just a little psycho as I sit and study the people in the MSUSA pic and wonder what park they are all visiting today...Feb 26th CAN NOT come soon enough, I'm only sad that I won't be staying for long or visiting all the parks this round. Next round in May will be a different story :sohappy:! ARRRGGGG, why can't I live CLOSER?????

If it were in EPCOT it'd win. It's in MK. It loses.

It's available all around. :shrug"

A nice-ish look at Market Street...

I thought it was called Center Street?

Leaving the Magic Kingdom before SpectroMagic hits...

:lol: Love how the lights are on behind the scrims.

If I remember right, the other side was Center Street, that they filled in with shop.

 

[BrerFrog]

I could go through a topic like this every single day of my life and still be amazed. Great job!

I thought it ALL was Center Street. :shrug:

And I have a book at home with it labeled. I'll check, tonight.

Yep, I believe they use this as a dock for getting heavy equipment in and out of Bay Lake. Seen it used before when the GF was undergoing major outside building refurbishment.

They are using it now for the repairs of the ferry boat dock from the crash. The ferry has been closed every day during the non peak times.

Thanks so much for the update. Looks like we'll be dodging alot of walls and tarps next week....

 

[SirGoofy]

No, it's not.

Or is it?


No, no it's not. I actually don't even know who the heck that is...:lol:

Center Street East and West. West of course became more merch shifting in 2001

Mr. EPCOT,
Thanks for the great update!

 

[cpeterstx]

I love this one. I bought it last may and it is proudly on my van.

I want, I want, I want! Remind me how we can order park merchandise???

I miss West. It gave Main Street more flavor.

Landing at MCO next Wednesday morning at 10:45 am for 13 nights at The World! This thread is just the appetizer for me.

 

[bruiser659]

Its our staging center for the work being done at the TTC docks.

Cool.

I do too, but at least we sort of have the flowers in East.

 

[EpcotServo]

Great stuff!

Anyone have any idea what this might be about?

this is a specialized heavy lift/transport barge. note the 2 columns on the end. these are one of 2 things. either strand jacks, (working the same way as a bottle jack except they have cables that loop over the top and connect to the bottom of the load to lift it) or, in this case, flipped upside down and jacked against the bottom to stabilize the barge and keep it from settleing into the bottom in situations where the water is shallower then the draft of the barge.

something heavy is either being loaded soon onto this or something recently came off.

Maybe that piece of heavy equipment off to the right?

This piece would be perfect if it weren't for "DISNEYWORLD" on the tombstone...

It's by the artist named that did several pieces for Disneyland and the 40th of HM. A coworker of mine saw a week ago and found the pricetag: $16,000. When she asked a couple of CM's they thought it was a mistake but that was real price of the piece. When I went there on Saturday the pricetag was gone.

Checked my book...Yep. Center Street. What was in west, though, before the cupola?
