Wow @bekkasan , I didn’t realize this was also your showcase thread. Please forgive the lateness of my comments on your DMK builds 😉
First up… Azure Haven. Such a very pretty build with lovely exterior choices and detailed decorating on the inside. A gracious and grand home absolutely perfect for a large family!
Next is Daffodil Lodge. A cozy and rustic little home well suited for a couple starting their journey together. It’s so good they have the garden to also help with their income. A great starter indeed!
Fantasia Emporium… a large undertaking, chock full of details. The nighttime screen shot is indeed impressive. Sims can spend all day browsing and enjoying the many activities. Lol re the basement. Surely a test of willpower.
Last so far, but certainly not least… Fantasy Folly. A totally adorable little home. Love all the whimsical touches. So cute inside and out.
I’m so glad you’re enjoying building for Disney’s Magic Kingdom and expressing your creativity with the different styles and types of builds. Looking forward to seeing what you do next. Well done! 🌸🌟😀

@soocoolsim Thanks so much for your sweet comments. Sorry I'm just now responding. I got sick and then life got really busy with work once I was better. I finally worked on my last build recently and did the finishing touches and pictures Wednesday and popped in this thread today to showcase it and found your comments. I hope to have it on the DMK thread this afternoon if it uploads without issue. I'm always nervous about that.
Life got busy, but I did finally get this build finished for Disney Magic Kingdom.
Nestled in the woods of the wilderness zone is Walt's Campground and Theater. A fun adventure awaits the nature lover in this campground. I had my large tester family visit the lot to test it and they seemed to have a good time. I hope your sims enjoy as well.
I love this first image as you can see the Contemporary Resort and Astro Orbiter in the distance. I build in a blank world and then to take pictures I usually put it in the world that has all the current builds. I love moving around and seeing all the fabulous builds as they come to life in the world with just homeless sims wandering around with my testers.
These are views from the lakeside. The cabins are built so the back porch faces the lake. I gave each cabin some outdoor furniture. In my build version I removed the big green tree in edit town from the lakeside. I wanted a better view of the lake, but forgot to remove it in this version. Note to self!
I'll be honest, I didn't like the pics of the outdoor theater I found on the Disney sites, so I used my imagination for this. I hope y'all like it.
I love having my sims play Gnubb. Such a fun game for them.
It wouldn't be a Bekkasan build without something for the kids.
Bathroom overview
Cabin one. None of the cabins have bathroom facilities. I remember camping as a girl and we all had to use the one big bath/shower room. So, my sims gotta do it that way too. All the cabins have a fire-stove. This cabin has a bunk bed, single bed and a separate sitting room which could be converted to another bedroom.
Cabin 2 and 3. Cabin 2 is cozy with a bunk bed and love seat. Cabin 3 includes a cot and highchair for a baby/toddler.
The lake will provide many activities for your sims including windsurfing and fishing. A dive spot is nearby but has not been completed yet.
Sims can prepare meals at the grills and tables are available for eating outside.
Do you love cats? This is the starter home for you at just under §16,500. Designed with the cat lover in mind with all the kitty amenities and toys needed. Enjoy the beautiful views of Bay Lake from either the front porch or the back of the cabin. Plenty of room for expansion as your family grows. Built for Disney Magic Kingdom Collaboration at 14 Wilderness Trail. No CC, no CAP. Custard checked.
What an adorable starter @bekkasan , and I love that you considered items for a cat and also a scooter. Love the pop of colour in the bedroom. Well done! 🌸🌟

@bekkasan Cedar Bay Starter is so charming! I love the colors you chose, the décor looks so pretty! The front porch is so welcoming, it is wonderful that there is also room for a cat, which I like cause I am a cat person, myself.
In the heart of Tomorrowland is a childs wonderland. An interactive toy store where children of all ages can play, dream, build, and have fun. Make your own dessert in the ice cream shoppe. Take the elevators from the future to the toy workshop. Learn to build your own toy to play with or give as a gift. Uses Savvy Sellers collection. Built at 107 Tomorrowland for Disney Magic Kingdom. No CC, no CAP, custard checked.
I took some liberties with the inspiration from Disney since I was converting an ice cream/food shop into a toy store. I also didn't want all that cement. Kids need grass to play on.
I was excited to learn kids can make toys as well as adults.
Kites can be flown after they are made and in the sims inventory.
The Big Top tent at Pete's Silly Sideshow soars high in the sky welcoming visitors inside. Enjoy the shows, unless you dream of stardom? Join the simfest and win the big prize. Visit the the fortune teller to see what your future holds. Explore the ruins and drink from the glowing waters if you dare. Make a wish at the well. Be careful what you wish for! It might not be exactly what you want. Built for DMK at 112 Fantasyland.
The Disney version is a meet and greet with various Disney characters. This lot is assigned to the fortune telling wagon. Apparently, the dev's original name of the wagon is considered a slur, and censored on this forum, so I'm calling it the fortune telling wagon. I added a show floor for magical shows under the tent. You can have any kind of show you want though. If you use Nraas debug you can assign a simfest all day with it. The wagon works fine with the lot labeled a live show venue and your sim can have the career if you wish.

Love those photobooths!
The fortune telling career works if you want to have your own sim join up.
It just seemed the perfect place to pop in these mystical items.
Remember, I said be careful what you wish for!
ewww!
Even more ewww!
haha, Shane was disappointed with his wish for love candidate, so my game turned her into the proprietor for the venue.
Pere’s Silly Sideshow is such a fun and wonderfully cheerful build @bekkasan ! It’s even more impressive in game! I love the little garden at the rear which is like an enchanted oasis amidst all the colourful energy. Also that ticket booth at front and the dressing room at the rear … so whimsical. What a great use of specialty decor objects inside and out. Such a unique lot. Well done! 🌸🌟

@soocoolsim Thank you so much for the lovely comments and for visiting my thread! I enjoyed building this venue and the first time I did such a large tent.
I've been working on the dive bar when I've had a few minutes and I'm just about to finish the inside.
The Tortuga Tavern is a must visit during your stay at Disney Magic Kingdom. A family friendly restaurant is on the lower level, while an adult friendly tavern is just a step away upstairs. Enjoy a drink or two relaxing in the tavern. Test your cowboys skills on the bucking bronco. Sing karaoke and perhaps win the nightly prize as the best of the bunch. Built for Disney Collaboration at 32 Adventureland. No cc, no cap. Bekkasan September 2022

A lovely day to play chess outdoors on a very unique table.
Prepare your own specialty meal with the wood stove ovens or order something from the kitchen. A buffet table is also available for your lunch or evening meals.
You may find a treasure or two if you look close enough.
If you are having trouble financially, dumpster diving can help buy a meal or two.
A favorite activity at the tavern is bronco riding. It is recommended to have a celebratory cup of juice after the ride, not before.
Bubbles, bubbles! The tavern has bubbles.
Considering the crowds, the tavern has two bars available.
Every night is Karaoke night at the tavern. Join the fun and maybe you will win the trophy.
The sunsets are one of DMK's magical attractions. Enjoy nature's show.
The tavern is open until 3am. It is well lit and your safety is guaranteed.
What a fun and detailed tavern! Love the testing pics and chuckled at some of the descriptions. So many great activities and I love the themed feature areas. The exterior pics have an interesting look. Are you using a lighting mod? So cool. A wonderful addition to DMK. Well done @bekkasan ! 🌸🌟

@soocoolsim Thank you! I have two folders for DMK. One with no cc and the other with the lighting mod and some of the builds. I do one final walkthrough in the folder with the lighting mod and take my pictures in it. I use my sims eyes for the details they see. lol...I spotted a corner floor tile that was empty. I went back to the no cc folder after taking pictures, fixed that tile and upload that version. The sky has a grayish tone in the empty world so I quit using it for the pictures. I'm from Florida and too used to bright blue skies.
@bekkasan, I enjoyed looking at your pictures of Tortuga Tavern and then exploring the lot once I got it in game. It looks great and I love all the fun themed decor objects you used. Especially your front landscaped section and the little corner vignette with all the treasures. A fun place for simmies to hang out and eat. Great that you included the bucking bronco as well for an added fun activity.
I know what you mean about blue skies. I'm from Arizona and we are the sunniest state in the U.S. and have the prettiest blue skies, so I appreciate your lighting mod you used.
@Sandraelle Thanks! I'm happy you got a chance to explore it.
I've visited Arizona a few times, mostly as a kid, but once as an adult. I love it out there. I definitely try to recreate a bit of Florida tropics in my weather patterns...except for hurricanes. Those are not allowed!
