ICYMI: The Magic Kingdom & Contemporary Resort
MagicalNewsLIVE treated us to a tour of Magic Kingdom Park and Disney’s Contemporary Resort
The wait for my next trip to Walt Disney World seems interminable. So I am very grateful to have the twice-weekly(ish) visits to WDW from Nick at MagicalNewsLIVE to stem the tide.
On Wednesday, June 2, Nick took us on a roundabout tour from the TTC to Tomorrowland and finishing up in Disney’s Contemporary Resort!
A Photographic Stroll
Let’s take you through some highlights before we put you on the Monorail.

The sun didn’t come out. But basking in the beauty of the castle, Nick told his audience that the building only needs one more piece to be complete for the 50th – the anniversary medallion.
