Photos: Take a Look “Backstage” at Magic Kingdom

At the time of this article’s publication, there is not much news coming out of the Walt Disney World Resort Theme Parks. So, let’s take a moment to appreciate some of the less popular areas of the Theme Parks “Back Stage.”

Theme Park Insider @bioreconstruct took to the skies above the Magic Kingdom Park in Central Florida and gave a look at the areas of operation usually off limits to Guests.

Let’s start with where all the monorails come from. Positioned behind the Magic Kingdom, we find the roundhouse shed for The Walt Disney World Monorail System. The highway in the sky is stored on the second floor of the building, while the steam trains of the Walt Disney World Railroad are stored on the ground floor.

Zooming out, we can take a look at one of the service areas of Walt Disney World.

According to the photographer, we can see the buildings where ride vehicles are inspected and refurbished, as well as the docking area for Frontierland’s Liberty Belle steamboat. Cast Member parking for various roles can also be seen.

Zoom out even further, and we can see where that complex sits in comparison to the rest of the Magic Kingdom Resort Area. Bay Lake sits dead center along with Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Seven Seas Lagoon sits behind, and the Transportation and Ticket Center is to the left.

These pictures come to light as the debate regarding Disney World’s no-fly zone comes into play, but it should be noted that these pictures are taken well within the legal boundaries currently set by the Mouse House.
