Architectural Rendering of Main Street at the Magic Kingdom (Or Construction Walls and Scrims!)
On a recent visit to the Magic Kingdom, I noticed an image of an architectural rendering on a construction wall of the Northeast corner of Main Street USA featuring the Plaza Restaurant and the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor.
The wall is in front of the Plaza Restaurant and faces the Hub and Cinderella Castle. If you check out the image, you’ll notice it is an architectural rendering of that block on Main Street.
Disney is known for adding signs with pithy statements based on quotes from Walt Disney, or in the more recent construction at Epcot, quotes from the Epcot attractions.
Seeing the rendering was a nice touch and brought a feeling of Victorian charm, as the say, to this transition area between Main Street and Tomorrowland.
Prior to the pandemic, Disney would throw up massive scrims with an image of the building or attraction on it. Recently, Disney has been doing massive construction walls with nondescript (read: beige) scrims hiding the construction.
