Magic Kingdom kicks off the summer season

Friday's Monstrous Summer All Nighter drew much larger crowds than 2012's One More Disney Day, and although the Magic Kingdom parking lot filled to capacity and large crowds packed the park, the gates stayed open for the entire event. The highlights of the event included special food offerings around the Magic Kingdom, a royal dance party in front of Cinderella Castle, the debut of the updated “Celebrate the Magic” projection show, and a very special “kiss goodnight” with pajama-clad characters at the Main Street train station.

Passholder room discounts for Summer

One annual passholder discount ends next week and another begins. Both offer room-only discounts, though dining package can be added:

Passholder room discounts April 2 through June 3

A discount for annual passholders is available for most dates through June 3. Passholders can book this discount through the day of arrival if rooms are still available.

As with all discounts, rooms available at these rates is limited, and minimum length-of-stay requirements may apply for Friday or Saturday arrivals. No group rates or other discounts apply. Suites, three-bedroom Grand Villas, and standard rooms at Disney's Art of Animation Resort are not included. Discounts vary by accommodation type and date, and availability varies by date.

You can make your reservation through the Walt Disney World Passholder website or by calling (407) 939-7926 or your favorite travel agent. MousePlanet's preferred Disney travel providers are MouseEarVacations.com (link), Small World Vacations (link) and Get Away Today (link).

Passholder room discounts June 4 through August 15

A discount for annual passholders is available for most dates June 4 through August 15. Advance reservations required.

Construction update

J. Jeff Kober took some of the Monstrous Summer All Nighter catching up on the construction taking place around the Magic Kingdom.

In comparison is the side facing the Mad Tea Party, which is the most incomplete portion of the exterior. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

The Mad Tea Party has re-opened after being closed for several weeks for refurbishment. No significant additional enhancements have been added, though the images from the aerial view of Fantasyland showed a glass roof similar to the one at Disneyland Paris. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

New props are still being added to the Big Thunder Mountain queue, such as this Assay Report. Still, the portrait of Barnabas Bullion, aka Tony Baxter, has not returned after having been defaced by guests. Photo by J. Jeff Kober.

Quick takes…
