Pieces of Disney Magic have Returned to Storybook Circus Area in the Magic Kingdom

Nods to various Disney classics have reappeared on the luggage props surrounding the Fantasyland train station in Storybook Circus. These references had been absent for several years but have now resurfaced following an apparent refurbishment of the props.

Luggage stacks line the walls on the northern side of the train station/bathrooms, opposite Pete’s Silly Sideshow. There are references to various Disney classics on different items in the area.

The red case with gold trim makes a nod to “Red’s Dream,” Pixar’s second computer-animated short film after “Luxo Jr.” Released in 1987, “Red’s Dream” tells the story of a unicycle dreaming of becoming part of the circus.


The black and brown label on a hatbox bears the inscription, “Ten Schillings and Sixpence, LTD,” with a top hat depicted at the top. Below, it states, “Hats for all occasions… Birthdays, unbirthdays, and all days between,” in a clear nod to the Mad Hatter from “Alice in Wonderland,” whose iconic hat is famously adorned with a 10/6 label, representing ten shillings and sixpence.

Other suitcases nearby feature two different references.

The second suitcase in the pile bears the label “The Big Bad Wolf Balloonologist Extraordinaire.” This is undoubtedly a callback to Disney’s 1934 short film “The Big Bad Wolf,” which was part of the “Silly Symphony” series.

Underneath The Big Bad Wolf’s suitcase, there is luggage belonging to Hyacinth Hippo from the “Dance of the Hours” segment of “Fantasia.”

Further along, past some blue and red barrels, is the final nod to Disney animation. A purple suitcase with blue accents rests on top of a wooden crate.

The purple suitcase proudly displays the logo for “Melody Time Brand Brass Horns” along with the tagline “Always in Toon.” “Melody Time” refers to a 1948 Disney anthology film. The musical stanza framing the film’s title evokes the style of the “Silly Symphony” logo. Additionally, the intentional spelling of “toon” mimics “cartoon” rather than “tune.”

In the Walt Disney World Railroad queue, a Dumbo poster has recently been refreshed to feature “Presented by Scentsy” at the bottom. Scentsy is now the proud sponsor of Dumbo the Flying Elephant, with their branding integrated into the attraction since last year.
