food IS a theme park
BIG things are happening in Magic Kingdom in Disney World.
Magic Kingdom
Astro Orbiter just got a bit of a facelift in Tomorrowland. In Frontierland, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is undergoing a massive refurbishment. A Villains Land will soon be constructed behind that ride. We also can’t forget that a Cars expansion, Piston Peak, is coming to Frontierland, and soon, that means that some Magic Kingdom attractions will be closing forever.
Magic Kingdom is Walt Disney World’s crowning jewel. It’s the quintessential theme park featuring memorable rides. If you are a returning guest, I bet you still remember your first visit!
Designed with six lands extending from a central hub, families spend their time traversing between Main Street U.S.A., Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, and Adventureland. Part of the immense appeal of Magic Kingdom is the detailed theming of each area. Many attractions have multi-generational appeal, and most rides are absolutely well-suited to adults.
Cinderella Castle
Still, we have our favorite rides and want to share them with you. Breaking our recommendations into four categories, let’s take a look at the attractions that grown-ups should not miss when touring Magic Kingdom. Get your comfy walking shoes on as we’ll be traversing the park… let’s go!

Walt Disney World has a huge variety of rides for everyone!
How tall should our child be before riding this?
There are roller coasters, motion simulators, drop rides, and even trackless vehicle rides. But we’re here to talk about another popular kind of Disney attraction: boat rides! From the thrilling to the educational, we think it’s time to separate the good from the bad to just the “meh.” Let’s rank all of the boat rides at Disney World!
We saw a LOT of friendly (and not so friendly) faces in Magic Kingdom yesterday!
Cinderella Castle
We took a spin around Magic Kingdom yesterday and spotted a lot of our favorite characters out and about. Honestly, they were having an INTERESTING day! Take a look at these characters plus MORE updates on construction and merchandise from Disney’s flagship park!
Update: The Liberty Square Riverboat is up and running again, just a few hours later!
Less than a week after reopening, the Liberty Square Riverboat is temporarily closed once more.
Liberty Belle
After being unavailable for months as the Rivers of America area was drained and refurbished, we were excited to see the Liberty Belle back on the water. But after being open for only 5 days, the Riverboat is closed again.
Another week has passed, which means it’s been another week FULL of Disney news.
Balloons at Downtown Disney
This week alone we’ve seen a NEW exhibit open at Disney World, testing of Castle Projections in Disney World(!!), and MORE! Did you catch all of this week’s biggest news stories? We’re sharing them all here with you so you don’t miss a thing!
In Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square, we’re welcoming back a classic attraction!
The Liberty Belle
We said goodbye to the Liberty Belle Riverboat last fall while Rivers of America was drained. The refurbishment process took a few months, but yesterday we spotted our beloved boat back on the water preparing for her big reopening day.
Well, consider our minds BLOWN today.
Mark Twain Riverboat
Magic Kingdom has had a pretty largescale refurbishment going on at the Rivers of America, Tom Sawyer Island, and on the Liberty Belle Riverboat. Today, these attractions are open for guests once more but it took a LOT of complicated work to get things back in order!
We have good news over in Magic Kingdom today!
Liberty Belle Riverboat at Magic Kingdom
When Rivers of America was drained last fall, the Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island closed with it. Signs apologized for all the “ruckus” as construction took place. But after months of refurbishment, the water is back and smooth sailing is ahead.
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.
