    New Purple Wall

    For Disney it may have “all started with a mouse”, but for Instagrammers, the #DisneyWall trend all started with a wall – a purple wall to be exact… So many guests found the purple pigment of this wall to make an ideal Instagram background that the wall quickly earned its own hashtag – #purplewall – and became a sought-after photo stop for guests visiting the park.

    If you’re looking to get a picture with the new purple wall you can find it just down the ramp from Tomorrowland Terrace toward the entrance to Tomorrowland. Right when you hit the turn into the land, you’ll see the Purple Wall on your right.

  • Disney World Changes Famous Purple Wall Leaving Many Upset Guests

    Disney World Changes Famous Purple Wall Leaving Many Upset Guests

    Walt Disney World is known for many of its iconic rides and attractions but a recent social media trend has vaulted a blank purple wall at Magic Kingdom to the top of the list for photo ops for park-goers. In a strange turn of events, Disney has changed the famous purple wall at the height of its popularity.

    Unfortunately for many who now add snapping a pic in front of the famous purple wall to their must do Disney list will now have a new and different looking wall in their backgrounds. The change has left many guests confused since the park recently started a new merchandise campaign for the wall complete with hats and MagicBands with the phrase “Meet me at the Purple Wall.

    Social media has turned purple with frustration over the change as the entire point of the trend was the fact that it was just a blank purple wall with a shade of purple that was just perfect for that Instagram selfie. But all is not lost…  There is still a section on the side that is solid purple albeit a smaller section. Still plenty big enough to get that coveted #PurpleWall Instagram pic.

    Some fans are embracing the change and going with the futuristic flow.

    Others are outright distraught and are not happy with the change.

    Disney Parks had announced that enhancements were underway for the wall, but the new geometric design was not what guests were expecting. It’s rather futuristic looking which is possibly as part of an advanced re-theming of Tommorowland in advance of the new Tron Coaster coming to the park.

    If you’re looking to get a picture with the newly designed purple wall you can find it just down the ramp from Tomorrowland Terrace toward the entrance to Tomorrowland. Right when you hit the turn into the land, you’ll see the Purple Wall on your right.

    As we mentioned, there is still some purple wall left for your photos so now the wall is a Two-Fur.  Now you get to take a picture with both! #PurpleWall vs. #NewPurpleWall. Let the purple wall battles begin! Don’t forget there are still a lot of other photo worthy walls around Disney parks and there surely be more to come.
