MouseSteps Weekly #319 Mickey's Not-So-Scary Signage & News; Haunted Mansion 50th; Takumi-Tei Opens
In Mousesteps Weekly #319, we talk about the following topics:
Halloween decorations have not yet arrived, but signage is up at the Ticket & Transportation Center for Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, which begins this week. We talk about the new fireworks show, "Disney's Not-So-Spooky Spectacular", which replaces "HalloWishes".
We went twice to the Magic Kingdom this week, and share a look at a ride in the fire engine down Main Street and a little construction. The Haunted Mansion turned 50 on Friday, and Disney characters surprised guests who were waiting for merchandise! Goofy, Pluto, Chipo & Dale were all in special costumes. We take a look at some of the merchandise as well.
There will be a bridge for guests to walk between the Magic Kingdom and Disney's Grand Floridian soon, and we take a look at the work on that.
Our next stop is Disney's Fort Wilderness Campground for lunch, it is a peaceful respite from the parks. P&J's Southern Takeout is a fantastic option!
We were invited to the grand opening ceremony of Takumi-Tei at Epcot, it is the newest restaurant in the park and a Signature Dining experience. Mickey and Minnie were there for the opening, with Minnie in a kimono. We take a look inside the restaurant.
There is a lot of work going on at Epcot and more will be coming. We look at some of that, including at Canada and the front of the park.
