And, we’ve got plenty of food, entertainment, and merchandise updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Hello, friends! Today we’re dropping by Disney’s Magic Kingdom to see what’s going on!
Piglet and Rabbit
We’ve been spending a LOT of time in the parks and resorts lately! With so many people traveling for the holidays and Disney gearing up for the New Year, there’s tons of news to report and lots to see. Let’s dive right in!
Disney Cast Members have been significantly impacted by this global pandemic and the closure of the Disney parks.

Earlier this year, the Disney College Program and other programs were temporarily suspended. The 2020 Fall Disney College Program for Disney World and Disneyland were also canceled for the Fall. And now we’ve got an update in terms of the situation moving forward with some of those programs.
Dining looks a little bit different in Disney World right now for both table-service and quick-service locations. Things are constantly changing, and we like to give you the most up-to-date experience possible. That said, there are certain quick-service spots in Disney World that we just don’t find ourselves visiting as often as others. This is one of them.
The Pinocchio Village Haus Entrance
Pinocchio Village Haus is a quick-service location in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, known for serving up flatbreads, salads, and other Italian-inspired food. This spot has a prime location yet it has been largely forgettable for the most part on past visits. How would the food hold up on this visit? Let’s find out!
Downtown Disney has undergone a handful of changes since a stay-at-home order was mandated for Southern California. We decided to stop by to see if there have been any updates since our last visit!
Disneyland Entrance
We noticed a handful of changes and PLENTY of new merch — here are all the updates!
“it’s a small world” has been undergoing a little face lift since October, with HUGE scrims and walls covering the majority of the entrance of this classic Magic Kingdom attraction.
“it’s a small world!”
While these blue, pink, and green scrims are quite colorful, well, they pale in comparison to the boat ride’s classic Fantasyland facade!
Disney likes to keep us on our toes!
Cinderella Castle
Over the past few weeks we’ve seen Disney World Park Pass Reservations in December and January fill up and then become available again several times. This weekend reservations were starting to fill up for the holidays again, and now Disney has refilled park availability…again!
Although firework shows are currently suspended at Disney World, we’ve seen fireworks and flares return in a modified and small way in the holiday projections in Magic Kingdom!

We’ve also seen a new fireworks barge for Harmonious brought out in EPCOT, and some firework testing done about a month ago. Now, Disney has announced that MORE firework testing will be soon taking place!
We use the My Disney Experience app a LOT!
Mobile Order sign at Sunshine Seasons
From placing mobile orders and making advance dining reservations to checking the latest wait times, it’s a fantastic tool! But, it seems like some guests are experiencing technical issues with the app today.
