food IS a theme park
Hi, friends! We’re back with another What’s New in the Magic Kingdom.
Citizens of Main Street
We’ve got a ton of construction and merch to look at today, so let’s just get going!
It has certainly been a busy week in Disney news! From a new CEO being announced to Festival menus on BOTH the east coast and the west coast, there has been no shortage of exciting announcements.

Let’s take a look at some of the biggest news stories from the past week!
What’s going on, friends! We’re walking right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A. to explore the Magic Kingdom today.

Lots of big stuff happening right now with Disney World’s 50th anniversary approaching next year, so let’s check it out!
We’re not afraid to admit that sometimes we need a little extra pep in our step from our hot beverage of choice and we love keeping it in the awesome mug designs that Disney throws out, like the color-changing Ink & Paint mug we’ve already added to our collection.
Ink & Paint Color-Changing Mug
If you think you know Disney Parks, we found a new selection of coffee mugs for you that will test your knowledge of the ABCs of Disney.
Earlier this week, Disney had us all hyperventilating a bit when they announced Cinderella Castle would be undergoing a “royal makeover!”

And at the time, we didn’t know many details about the transformation other than Magic Kingdom’s park icon would be getting a new paint job with a soft, rose gold pinkish hue and sparkly gold trim! But in light of park guests’ growing concerns, Disney’s made few comments to ease our worried minds!
We’re still feeling the excitement over the recent announcement that Cinderella Castle will begin a massive refurbishment in the coming weeks in preparation for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary in 2021.

This transformation, which will begin soon and continue through the summer, will result in a very noticeable difference to the castle’s appearance, and we have more details to share about its new look!
While Walt Disney World is getting ready for its big 50th-anniversary celebration next year, there’s been a frenzy of construction and refurbishment happening throughout its theme parks and resorts!

And while our attention has been focused a lot of Epcot right now as we get ready for Regal Eagle Smokehouse, Space 220 Restaraunt, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind to debut, we just found out something MAJOR is about to happen at Magic Kingdom!
If there’s a new Disney X Loungefly collection, you can bet your buttons we’re going to want to take it home!

And, while we’ve recently been admiring the Redd, Rock the Dots, and Mickey and Minnie Shorts lines, we’re ready to spend our latest paycheck on the ADORABLE new backpacks coming to Disney Springs!
