Hello, DFB friends! We’re here with more of what’s new at Magic Kingdom.

Cinderella Castle

We’ve been seeing more and more 50th anniversary statues pop up, new Cinderella wreaths, and even a favorite treat return. Now we have another 50th anniversary item to share and more progress toward Disney launching the Genie+ program!

This time we have news to share about a new popcorn box and more lightning lanes added.

Magic Kingdom Food Update

In Fantasyland, we found a new 50th Anniversary popcorn box! The new boxes have images of all four Disney Parks icons, including Cinderella Castle, Tower of Terror, the Tree of Life, and Spaceship Earth.

There are also silhouettes of favorite Disney characters featured on the box on a dark blue background. Can you spot the teeny tiny 50 icon on Cinderella Castle?
