Just when I thought I knew everything

Son was watching one of those Youtube videos about secrets of Magic Kingdom, and DFB says Pinocchio House has a balcony. Never knew this. Knew Columbia Harbour House had one, but not PH.

It's fun, they even have some signs you can hold to show people riding Small World!

I like the outdoor balcony, too!

Yes we ate up there last trip. Then I got locked out there. DD was waiting for me downstairs and thankfully came back to see what was taking me so long and opened the door for me. I have no idea how it happened but we got a good laugh out of it. It was a nice peaceful dinner too.

One of my favorite meals was to get their meatball sub and eat out on the balcony overlooking Fantasyland. Bring back the meatball sub!

The last few times I've been, they've had characters waving from up there as a distanced meet and greet type of thing!

Oh yes! That is where my Disney boyfriend, Jiminy Cricket, appeared to me in November!

I had no clue....wow

The next time you're there, go to the dining room directly behind the cash register lanes and look up - the inside balcony is right there, with the outside balcony right behind it.

We ate outside there on our trip last January. So lovely to sit overlooking Fantasyland without a lot of people around.

I've never, ever seen this view! So amazing!!

I have been walking past there for years and had no idea. That plaza tends to be a major scrum for crowds so I suspect I'm usually looking straight ahead.

Shhh. the balcony is awesome. Don't tell anyone.

It's actually a pretty small area. Here's our table. If I recall clearly, there were just a few tables up there. No space for more.

There's a stairway from the outside balcony to the ground. Having it possible for someone to get "locked out" up there would be a MAJOR violation of fire safety rules.

It was dark and it was my first time up there. I didn’t realize that.
