The Disney Traveler

I haven’t been to Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island in quite awhile, so on Wednesday, my family and I decided to have dinner at Planet Hollywood located inbetween Downtown Disney and Pleasure Island.  We parked near McDonald’s in Downtown Disney and had to walk over to Pleasure Island.  Just beyond McDonald’s on the way to Pleasure Island we saw huge construction walls erected with workers busily building behind them.  A huge banner hung on one of the construction walls to let visitors know this would be the location for a new T-Rex restaurant.

The latest rumor I’m hearing says that Walt Disney World is adding a new Little Mermaid ride to the Magic Kingdom.  It will be located where the old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride used to be (next to the current location of Ariel’s Grotto where Ariel does autograph signings) in Fantasyland.

The Haunted Mansion has been closed for some time at Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, but it reopened just in time for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party to kickoff on October 4th. 
I got to ride on The Haunted Mansion on Sunday, and I have to admit that I really liked the changes.  Of course, I don’t want to give anything away, but major changes were made in the opening hallway scene, along the staircase where spiders used to lurk on gigantic spider webs and in the attic.
