WDWNT Reporter Matt Paul spent yesterday at the Magic Kingdom before embarking to Disneyland and the D23 Expo. Here’s some of his newsworthy photos:
Halloween is officially upon the Walt Disney World Resort
It was a regular Celebrate a Dream Come True Parade up until after the Aladdin float
The Princess float came next, before the Peter Pan float
But then instead of the Castle float, the Peter Pan float ended the parade, but with Goofy and Donald on it instead of Alice and the Mad Hatter
Peter Pan and Wendy remained
So for the time being at least, there is no Castle float in the parade
Now for a look at Halloween decorations through-out Mickey’s Toontown Fair
These giant Mickey pumpkins can be found through-out Toontown

Work is still being done to the facade of Pinocchio’s Village Haus

You know it’s a quiet day when Splash Mountain has a 5 minute wait!
