This page is to help you quickly jump through this picture set. Below you will see a listing of the pages and the captions on that page.

  • Page Number: 1
    The current Magic Kingdom bus directory. I like how they have the Contemporary walkway listed. That was where we were heading.
    Our destination looks so far from this angle.
    A wreath at the guard shack of the Contemporary

    Pins were available too.
    I like how there is an instructional guide on how to assemble the handful of pieces.
  • Page Number: 9
    Frozen treats
    I found this to be poor show and kind of sad. For music looks like Cast Members brought in their own iPod and player.
