food IS a theme park
Magic Kingdom is a bustlin’ place!
Magic Kingdom
You know we love stopping into Disney World’s flagship park and we did just that recently to check in on ALL the latest news. Now, we’re bringing you some updates on construction and merchandise!
We made it! We are here at Disneyland’s reopening day, and we’re taking you with us!
We’re HERE!
With park reservations almost completely sold out, we were prepared for quite a big crowd of fellow Disney fans today as we made our way around. We’ve had almost a year to experience the Disney World parks with capacity restrictions, social distancing, and other health and safety measures in place, so we were curious how that would translate to Disneyland. And now, we’re taking a look!
After a closure that spanned over 400 days, we are officially back in Disneyland! We’ve been exploring the fully reopened parks, rides and all, for the first time in thirteen months and we honestly didn’t know where to visit first!
Disneyland
Once we paused and thought about it, we knew we couldn’t let this day go by without visiting some of Disneyland’s most iconic locations. So join us on a little photo tour as we say “hello” once again to some of our favorite spots in the Happiest Place on Earth.
ICYMI, Disney is redoing Jungle Cruise at Walt Disney World and Disneyland, and giving this iconic, pun-filled boat ride a BRAND NEW storyline with new characters and scenes to replace some culturally insensitive depictions.
Jungle Cruise
There’s an interesting part of this reimagining, however. Jungle Cruise at Magic Kingdom is going to STAY OPEN, so we’ve gotten some insight on how this ride is being altered! So far, we’ve seen some BIG changes (goodbye, Trader Sam!) and some more subtle changes.
There is a whole bunch of merchandise available in Disney World — ears, Loungefly bags, shoes, the WORKS.

And while some of this merchandise is relatively inexpensive or pretty “typical” in terms of price, today we found some new items that are QUITE expensive. Would you pay OVER $200 for Disney’s latest merch?
Earlier this year, Disney announced that the Jungle Cruise attraction would be undergoing some changes at both Disneyland and Disney World!
Jungle Cruise
The ride will be receiving a new storyline with new scenes along the river, unexpected scenarios, and an expanded backstory focusing on Alberta Falls, the proprietor of the Jungle Navigation Company Ltd. Now, some more updates about the changes coming to this attraction have been revealed!
One of our favorite places to grab a savory snack (you didn’t think we just ONLY ate sweets, right?) is the Spring Roll Cart located near the entrance to Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.
Spring rolls are back!!!
We love nomming on those Cheeseburger Spring Rolls, as well as those Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls, and sometimes, we’re eating both! The Springs Roll cart often opens and closes based on seasonal crowds. It closed a few months ago and now it’s open the help out with the Spring Break crowds.
We’re here to share so much cuteness.
Cinderella Castle
We spent our day in Magic Kingdom today checking out any new merchandise, the many ongoing construction projects, and food — ya know, standard protocol. As our day was coming to an end, we stumbled upon something so adorable, and so relatable.
Have you seen the awesome new tribute to the little Orange Bird?
New Orange Bird Mural
We stopped by Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland to check out our pal’s new mural this morning, and you can take a closer look at all the details here! But we’re all abuzz about the Bird in more ways that one, because we just so happened to find the popular Orange Bird Sipper available for guests to purchase at a new location in Disney World!

The new Orange Bird mural has officially debuted in Magic Kingdom!
Sunshine Tree Terrace
This beloved OG character is the mascot for the Sunshine Tree Terrace, home of the famous Citrus Swirl! Earlier today, we shared that a brand-new Orange Bird mural was on its way to Adventureland. Well, we stopped by to take a peek, and sure enough, it’s HERE!
