Frontierland

Frontierland

The Liberty Belle River Boat in Frontierland at Disney’s Magic Kingdom has been off-line and out of service since January of this year. It has been going through an extensive refurbishment, as all things in Disney do from time to time.

A couple of days ago, we happened to be walking through Frontierland and noticed that this magnificent old boat is back in the water and traveling around the Rivers of America. She’s not taking passengers just yet, but we’re told that she will be in the next couple of weeks.

Oh, and for you folks who are sticklers about the details, the Liberty Belle has a new whistle.

The newly refurbished Liberty Belle River Boat at Disney’s Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Florida, is back on the Rivers of America at Frontierland. She’s making trial runs for now, and will resume carrying guests in the near future.

It’s not just marketing either. For many people, it’s been a life long relationship. Walt Disney set out the rules for making an amusement park that everyone could enjoy over 60 years ago, and that foundation holds true today. After all it’s still the “happiest place on earth”.

Halloween Arrives at Magic Kingdom

We’re back from our summer camping trip and we’re hard at work setting up our images for the stock agencies and working on articles about the places we visited. We were at Yellowstone, Glacier National Park, Waterton Lakes in B.C., Custer State Park and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, among others. It was a great trip and we came home with lots of good material, both as images and as potential travel articles about the area. As we return to central Florida, it’s still hot, but the season is changing. Continue reading →
