Denise nbodyhome Preskitt has photos of the Enchanted Art on the Disney Dream plus a Walt Disney World update

First up, more Disney Dream photos. One of my favorite things about the Disney Dream is the Enchanted Art, which look like regular pieces of artwork but they come to life when you get near them.

There are many piece of Enchanted Art, we didn't even find them all in the time we were there. My favorite actually was found on the morning we debarked from our 2 night trip.

These are pirate ships fighting each other (artwork to artwork fighting!)

This artwork is a game:

And on our last morning, I couldn't sleep so I went wandering the ship. I found this Walt Disney artwork, which included the Enchanted Art in the center of it. The video shows all 3 versions of the art featuring cartoons of Walt Disney's.

Mickey and Minnie are now meeting guests in several areas of the Magic Kingdom, including Frontierland now that Mickey's Toontown Fair has closed:

The princesses have also moved from Mickey's Toontown Fair, they are in Adventureland:

And lastly, the Epcot Flower and Garden Festival is taking shape in a big way! This is now my very favorite time of the year at Epcot, and I could walk the park every day if I had the time - it's beautiful.

I can't wait for the Festival to start!
