    2. Magic Kingdom Central Plaza getting new planters

    With the redesign and expansion of the Magic Kingdom Central Plaza, the center of the hub is getting new planters. The new planters will include the lighter brown concrete, new copper handrails, and new foliage.

    The two planters on the south side were paved over to create more space as work continues on the north side planters.

    3. Rails were added in front of the Mickey Floral

    Although not permitted, children and sometimes adults would get on top of the ledge in front of the Main Street Railroad Station for a photo opportunity. This can be extremely dangerous and to prevent guests from injuring themselves, Disney added decorative railings on top of the ledge.

    The railings blend in very well and is a smart move.
