Any idea where this was taken?

So I stumbled across a few photos of our family Disney trips from my childhood, and found this one. I was curious as to where in the parks it could have been taken, and I can't figure it out!

It's really the first photo, with Prince John, that I'm wondering about.

While I'm clearly wearing a DL 30th Anniversary shirt in the second photo, and I'm assuming that they were both taken the same day, I'm nearly sure this is at WDW, as the Tweedledee photo looks like it was taken under the entrance bridge (and the poster in the background, I believe, reads "Tomorrowland at Walt Disney World"). Plus, the height of the columns would indicate WDW as opposed to DL. We likely went to both in that time period, as I had grandparents near both parks, but my parents don't remember exactly.

I compared this photo to Emporium photos, but the columns are very different. Have they possibly just been entirely replaced since then? I couldn't really match up the building in the background with any angle of the Emporium either.

Thanks in advance for your help, all!

The King John photo almost looks like the old City Hall area, which has gone through several reimagineering renditions. I can't tell from the angle the exact shape of the columns. If I had my guess that would be the area. I compared it to all my digital images back to 2004 and couldn't find an exact match.

My guesses are 1) outside the Emporium 2) the area under the train at the entrance ( where you pick up maps)

I agree with being the front of City Hall and looking towards the Emporium.

Second is definitely at the train station. Both pics could have been taken just feet apart.

I'm thinking that first shot is at the Emporium entrance area along Main Street, farther up towards the halfway point of Main Street rather than the part near the circle. Just a guess!

Upon second review, I think Zackiedawg is right. The only place on all of Main Street with high single columns is the Emporium where he describes.
