There’s quite a bit of construction going on in Disney World these days.
From new lands being built (like Villains Land in Magic Kingdom!) to hotel refurbishments (like the room updates happening at Pop Century), there are plenty of projects to keep an eye on. And now, a popular gift shop is getting a refresh at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
We are getting closer and closer to Test Track opening in EPCOT this summer!
Disney released new behind-the-scenes pictures, and this makes us want to run to the queue and see the newly reimagined ride for ourselves.
Animal Kingdom is changing a lot these days.

Tree of Life
Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde are getting ready to move in, and the dinosaurs’ extinction is imminent. While we sadly await the official goodbye to DinoLand, we were lucky enough to dig up a new treat in the land! Let’s see if it’s worth excavating.
Have you ever heard of Dapper Days?

@cherylthrift and @gretchensarah at Dapper Days!
It’s an unofficial event where Disney guests dress to impress! This event happens twice a year in Disney World and Disneyland. We finally know when we need to dust off our parasols and heels for the next event, and we’ve got all of the details right here.
When you think of Disney World, we bet the first thing that comes to mind is Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom WAS the first park in Disney World, after all, and it remains the most iconic. You can’t think of Disney World without Cinderella Castle, after all. Magic Kingdom is also home to a lot of classic attractions, so if you’re visiting Disney World for the first time, Magic Kingdom is probably the park you have the highest expectations for. BEFORE you go to Magic Kingdom, though, we want to make sure you keep those expectations in check.
There are so many amazing dining options in Disney Springs!

Disney Springs
One of our favorite spots is the eet by Maneet Chauhan, which is a newer quick service! This spot serves up traditional flavors with a modern flair, and we have loved it! Now this quick service is back with new limited-time drinks for this month only.
While Disney World’s refillable mugs have some hard and fast rules that have to be followed – – free refills are only good for a certain amount of time, there are no refills in the parks, etc. – – there are some other unofficial and unspoken rules that it would totally behoove you to break next time you visit the “Most Magical Place on Earth.”
Before we get to these rules, though, how about a quick refresher on how refillable mugs work? Disney’s Refillable mugs are 16 oz. insulated coffee mugs that are sold for about $22 at Disney hotels in the primary Counter Service location. Those on the Disney Dining Plan also receive a mug as part of their package. Guests are entitled to unlimited free refills on fountain drinks, coffee, and tea from participating beverage locations at Disney resort hotels (both the one they’re staying at as well as others on property) for their length of stay up to 14 days. Each mug features an RFID barcode, which enables the mug to deactivate when the designated time is complete.
While there are literally hundreds of possible Disney souvenirs you can pick up at the Magic Kingdom, our favorite MAY be a way to immortalize your favorite four-legged friend for about $20!
Arribas refers to the silhouette as the 18th Century Selfie, writing that they are, “meticulously hand-cut by a skilled Walt Disney World artist. This unique keepsake, inspired by an 18th-century European art form, features your profile against your choice of a white or colored background, allowing you to own a piece of personalized artistry that blends tradition with the magic of Disney.”
