Check Out this Disney World Emporium Lego Ideas

Here at Chip and co we love creative Lego ideas and we are especially loving this Disney World Emporium LEGO ideas! Here developer André Blix has created the “greatest emporium located in the happiest place on earth!”, creating the famous Emporium shop at the Magic Kingdom, Walt Disney World.

Disney World Emporium Lego ideas

André Blix’s Disney World Emporium features a two-story modular building functioning as a store on the first floor, and then a showcase on the second floor! The Disney World Emporium Lego ideas were made out of 2558 lego bricks. The designer mentioned that he hopes one day to complete the entire “Main Street USA” with shops, scenery and ride tributes (we love a good easter egg!).

According to the description, the two floors contain:

1st Floor store:

  • 2 x Product shelves
  • Check out area
  • Mickey Mouse wall decoration
  • Gift shop display
  • Entrance to adjacent modular building

2nd Floor attraction:

  • “Pirates of the Caribbean” boat ride (not affiliated with the movie franchise)
  • Scenery and figures complimenting ride
  • Fun

We adore the attention to detail from the developer, including Mary Poppins and of course, the large Mickey Mouse behind the till! We really hope he continues developing to complete “Main Street USA!”

Work continues on Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs Coaster

Wandering Oaken

There’s signs of new Disney magic being built at Hong Kong Disneyland. Even though the theme park is still temporarily closed, the work continues on the upcoming Frozen themed roller coaster attraction, Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs.

The attraction is inspired by Wandering Oaken’s Trading Post and Sauna shown in the 2013 Frozen movie. The ride is scheduled to debut in 2021 at Hong Kong Disneyland. The Twitter account, HKDL of Fantasy, provided photos of the current progress on the attraction’s construction.

For those who visit Magic Kingdom, the Hong Kong ride will be similar in comparison to the Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. The concept artwork for Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs show us additional insight on what to expect when attraction is complete. So far, seeing the tracks being installed does offer excitement for Disney fans. But we are eager to see more of the construction progress to learn what else is in store for future riders!

Are any of our fans exciting about the upcoming roller coaster attraction? Will you be planning a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland in the future so you could ride Wandering Oaken’s Sliding Sleighs? We will post updates when additional information becomes available.
