Chip swung by the Magic Kingdom to check on the progress of the construction in Adventureland. And, it looks like, not much has changed since our last visit a few months ago.

Rumors have been circulating for some time now what is going on behind those walls. Some say a new venue for Moana to make her meet and greets. Others think its the site of the new Club 33 coming to Disney World. We are fairly certain it will be Club 33. Or, maybe, both! Quite possibly, the area could be divided up to for both to be built. We know everyone is anxiously awaiting the return of a Moana meet and greet at Walt Disney World! (Other than special events.)

Disneyland Resort Horses Take a Break While Main Street, U.S.A. Undergoes Enhancements

Disneyland Resort Horses Take a Break While Main Street, U.S.A. Undergoes Enhancements

The Disneyland Resort horses are currently “on vacation” while enhancements are made on Main Street, U.S.A. But it isn’t a usual vacation we are used to. The four-legged cast members are following their usual routines in order to keep fit—both physically and mentally. Each horse has a schedule for grooming, bathing, driving, riding and ground work. However, they do have more time for play, which is an important part of being a horse. Horses, after all, are herd animals and it’s important for their well-being that they have time to be together. One way in which this is accomplished is through “turn-outs,” which is the horsey term for “playdates.” The horses are turned out in an enclosed arena, in groups of three or four, and they run together, kick up their heels and just move as a herd. Inevitably, each horse will find that perfect spot of ground on which to roll over and stretch their back and legs. Total relaxation, equine style. Come to think about it, maybe our vacations aren’t so different after all.

New Signage On Monorail Doors

New Signage On Monorail Doors

We recently reported about new signage going up on the Monorail to warn people not to lean on the doors. There was a video that surfaced showing the door to Monorail Red staying open while in motion. Talk about unnerving. Normally, each of the monorail cars comes equipped with door sensors that signal to the driver if any of the doors have not be shut completely before departure.  However, it would appear in this case that this system failed potentially putting passengers at risk.

We were able to get some actual pictures of the new signs on the doors warning people not to lean on the doors. Just in case…
