Magic Kingdom Watercraft

This week I started training at the MK Watercraft, learning how to deckhand on the big ferries that take guests between the Magic Kingdom and the Transportation and Ticket Center, as well as the cruisers that run between the MK and the resorts on Seven Seas Lagoon and Bay Lake. 

Thursday morning Susan and I met the kids for breakfast at Steakhouse 71 at the Contemporary Resort. We’ve had breakfast there a couple of times, as well as dinner. It’s nice but not too fancy, and as cast members we usually get a pretty good discount. The lobby is decorated with photos of Disney World in the seventies, and the furnishings have the same retro futuristic look that the rest of the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower have.

Susan and I then took the monorail into the Magic Kingdom. We could see the progress on the DVC tower at the Polynesian Resort, which will be known as the Island Tower when it opens. 

In the Magic Kingdom, we watched the Tiki Room, then walked to Frontierland. The walls around Tiana’s Bayou Adventure were down, as cast previews had started earlier in the week. We took the train over to Storybook Circus, then walked to Tomorrowland, where we rode the Peoplemover. We looked at some stores then headed out, as it was getting warm and we both had to work that night.
