Searching for what’s new at Magic Kingdom…
And we were just at Magic Kingdom to see what’s new there, so let’s get on with some updates!
Over the past few months, we’ve seen virtual queues used at everything from hit attractions in Disney World to a popular cookie shop at Disney Springs.
EPCOT
But more recently we’ve started to see the use of virtual queues being discontinued at select spots. Not too long ago, Disney paused the use of virtual queues for Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disney World and Disneyland, and it paused the use of virtual queues on select days for WEB SLINGERS: A Spider-Man Adventure in Disney California Adventure. Now, a virtual queue that has been in use in EPCOT is also going away!

So today we’re breaking down the BIG Disney Genie+ rule that everyone gets wrong so YOU can make sure you get it right!
Some of the most popular Disney collectibles are Minnie ears headbands, which come in all kinds of different themes.
Minnie Ears Galore
We’ve seen Minnie ears themed after Star Wars characters, lots of options for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, and even some VERY expensive gold bedazzled ears.

Character dining is one of the most fun ways to dine in Disney World. Eating alongside your favorite characters? The best!
Mickey Mouse
Although character dining looks a bit different right now (although that could be changing SOON), it can still be fun to catch some characters while eating delicious food. Chef Mickey’s is a major dining staple in Disney World as one of the most popular character dining destinations. Still, there are other character dining locations that tend to be forgotten or overlooked — like Garden Grill in EPCOT. So if you find yourself unable to get a Chef Mickey’s reservation or wanting to try something new…Garden Grill is worth a try!
