This past Friday, work on the planned Disney amusement park in Shanghai has begun after several delays. Walt Disney held a special press event this past week for the special event in Shanghai, which began the construction of the sixth Disney park in the world (other locations including Florida and California in the US, and Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong–in case you didn’t know.)

Last week, there was an article in the Orlando Sentinel that caught my eye. It said that a permit application had been submitted by Disney for construction around the Grand Floridian Area. In the permit, Disney describes a six to seven story building that is T-shaped and connected to the current building on the property by a covered walkway. (Orlando Sentinel)
There are some new news and upgrades from the Walt Disney World Resort this past week.
Our first news takes us to Magic Kingdom, where some construction walls have gone up in a somewhat unexpected place, especially for this time of year. There is some walls blocking the view of the graveyard to the left of the Haunted Mansion queue. I was surprised they would be doing construction on the Mansion in the peak of the Halloween season, but maybe it will not last that long.

I have seen way too much information on this, and this is just waaaay too huge and interesting to ignore!
