Main Street Bypass

Post by Epeyon » Fri Mar 02, 2012 4:56 pm

I was at Magic Kingdom on the 29th for One More Disney Day, and I took the Main Street Bypass at around 9 P.M. and what did I see, but the entire parking lot. I just had to take a picture.

I think if somebody in MK leadership ever criticizes my show, I might just have to bring this up and say I'm simply following their example.

Normally they would have put some temporary folliage to block the view of the parking lot. I guess they forgot. I have been to this part of backstage a few times myself.

Were they set up for the massive bypass to tomorrowland? If so, that would explain the lack of foliage.

Doesn't look like it from that picture. If so the cones and CM wouldn't be there blocking the way, that's the way to Tomorrowland.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.

Oh noes, a parking lot! I went to a small town main street once. It wasn't as well kept at Main Street, U.S.A., but guess what, it had a crappy parking lot behind their buildings too :D:

Yes, but was your experience at the turn of the century from the 18th to the 19th?

Didn't think so.


My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Disney magic: it apparently turned from the 18th century directly to the 21st! :rolleyes:

18th century was 1701-1800; 19th century was 1801 - 1900. I'm pretty sure you meant 19th century.

I hate to mess with both of you, but isn't Main Street set in the 1900's? As in Walt's childhood?
