food IS a theme park
If you’re planning a trip to the Magic Kingdom, there are certain items that you need to carry with you.

Now, some other guests may be judgmental, but trust us, they’re going to make your day much better.
New photos show an aerial view of the construction progress at Piston Peak National Park in Magic Kingdom. We have been keeping a close eye on the construction from the ground, but with all the construction walls, it can be hard to see what is happening in the area.

However, Bioreconstruct just shared a ton of new photos, giving us a glimpse into what is happening behind the walls. It is always exciting to see the progress in new areas at Disney World, so let’s take a look at these new photos!
Every week, we report the average Disney World wait times in every park so that you can be prepared for your next trip to Orlando!
Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind
Disney World wait times have a reputation for being, well, unpredictable. Sure, we can look at past data to get an estimate of the crowd levels in Disney World, but you never know what may happen from year to year. So how did Disney’s wait times hold up after DINOSAUR went extinct? Another Animal Kingdom ride took the top spot…

Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator
If you’ve ever struggled with putting on sunscreen at theme parks, we have the product for you. The Solar Buddies Sunscreen Applicator is a refillable roll-on sponge that’s perfect for both kids and adults!
Ah, Disney World. We know you’ve got a lot of exciting attractions on the way, but for right now? These closures are kinda crushing our vibe, especially when more and more keep being added!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
This isn’t just limited to the parks, either. Nope, we found out this week that a current construction project will now take us all the way into 2027 (after it’s already been going on for what feels like FOREVER), and considering it’s one of the resort’s most expensive hotels to stay at? Yeah, people aren’t thrilled. There is a bit of good news, though — a popular EPCOT attraction reopened EARLY following an animatronic refurbishment, and now we’re thrilled we won’t be creeped out when we ride it anymore.
If you’re a Disney fan, then you’ll remember last year’s hottest piece of Disney merch. Starbucks released tumbler cups for all six US Disney Parks and had two mystery pins to unwrap inside!
Magic Kingdom Tumbler 2025
These were the biggest items of the year, and some of them sold out within the first few hours on the shelf. We’re so excited that TODAY, the Starbucks Mystery Pin Tumblers are back in stock with NEW designs! We have the links for all six parks right here for you – happy shopping!
When it comes to being a Disney Adult in your 30s (guilty!), it can sometimes be hard to admit that age plays a role in what rides are included on your Magic Kingdom itinerary (also, unfortunately, guilty).
Be prepared to get wet!
Whether it’s due to commonly long waits, weather issues, or simply the… ahem… pain factor, these rides often don’t make the cut for those of us north of the big 3-0.
When you go to Disney World, there are plenty of rules you have to follow — both official and unwritten — to keep you safe and focused on having a good time! However, a potential new rule could ban a fan favorite item.
Crocs
Most of these rules are self-explanatory and familiar rules you’ll find at other theme parks — no running, no horseplay, no fighting with other guests or workers. Disney, however, does have some additional rules. For example, anyone over the age of 14 is banned from wearing a Disney costume to the parks, and no masks are allowed to be part of any costume. But is it possible that another interesting rule could make it to the parks due to shoe safety, effectively BANNING a popular shoe?
Sometimes, the very best snack in Magic Kingdom costs less than your morning latte at home.
Creme Brulee Croissant
We talk a lot about the flashy, over-the-top Disney snacks, but today we’re keeping it simple and budget-friendly. If you’ve got about six bucks to spend and a sweet tooth that needs attention, there are a couple of treats that seriously overdeliver. Let’s talk about our top picks and a few honorable mentions that are absolutely worth your cash.
Magic Kingdom is one of the busiest theme parks in the world, and to keep everything running smoothly, there are rules that every guest must follow while visiting.
Cinderella Castle
While planning your Disney World vacation, you are probably focused on what Lightning Lanes to book and where you will eat. But, there is one thing you should do before packing your bag and heading to the parks, and that is to understand the park rules. We’re here to bring attention to the rules you might be shocked to learn about at Magic Kingdom.
