Hello to all of our DFB Friends from Magic Kingdom!

We spent some time at Magic Kingdom on New Year’s Day checking to see what 2021 updates we could find! Are you ready? Let’s go!

Magic Kingdom Food Updates

Aloha Isle

Although we OFTEN stop by Aloha Isle to indulge in a Dole Whip, we’re happy to report that one of our other favorite snacks there, the Kakamora Float, has returned! This is a Moana-themed treat with  Coconut Soft-serve piled on top of Pineapple Juice and Blue Curacao, garnished with a Chocolate Kakamora Cake Pop.

This wonderful snack is available now for $6.99.

But another snack has also returned to Magic Kingdom. The Grey Stuff is back and available again at Gaston’s Tavern! It was there earlier in the year, but disappeared to make room for the holiday-exclusive Belle’s Enchanted Christmas Tree.

This cupcake is Grey Stuff atop a chocolate cake base with candy pearls and a chocolate square for decoration. You can get one of your own now for $5.49. Try it! It’s delicious!

Here’s more about the return of The Grey Stuff

Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Popcorn Carts

The holidays are over, and so the holiday popcorn buckets have been retired for the season. But now you can get the returning Steamboat Willie & Minnie Popcorn Buckets instead.

These buckets are cute in their own right, though, and they’re available for $18.

Sale

We noticed that the big 70% off holiday merchandise sale was still going on at a lot of locations throughout Magic Kingdom.

It’s the perfect time to stock up on holiday stuff for this year!

Magic Kingdom Character Cavalcades

The holiday character cavalcades are gone, and the regular cavalcades have returned. We’re going to miss seeing all the princesses in their winter dresses!

It’s good to see the “old” cavalcades back, though!

Magic Kingdom Miscellaneous Updates

Park Hopping Returns

In case you missed it, park hopping has returned to Disney World. And we saw signs right outside the turnstiles making sure that everyone knows!

We did a LOT of park hopping during the day, and if you have any questions about how it works, be sure to read our park hopping guide here!

Here’s everything you need to know about park hopping

We had fun celebrating 2021 at Magic Kingdom (and all over Disney World). From being surprised by crowds, to seeing fan-favorite snacks return, we had a great first day of 2021! We’ll be back soon with even more updates!
