food IS a theme park
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle
We’re taking a trip around Disney World’s flagship park to see what’s new with food, construction, merchandise, and MORE. Let’s get started!
In March, Disney rolled out a brand-new technology.
Facial Recognition
At the Magic Kingdom entrance, facial recognition testing kicked off! Guests could choose to enter the park through a different line that allowed them to give this new feature a try. The testing was set to end on April 23rd but was subject to be extended — and sure enough, it stuck around a few more days. But now, we’ve got an update on the project’s status!
After over a year of being closed, the PeopleMover FINALLY reopened yesterday.
It feels good to be back!
Of course, we were in Magic Kingdom keeping an eye on the situation and hopping aboard for our own grand tour of Tomorrowland. And if you’re hoping to go for a ride, there’s a handy little tip you’ll want to keep in mind!

Earlier this week, Disney World announced that they began testing a new facial recognition technology for park entry.

It’s just another way the Disney park experience seems to be going hands-free, in the wake of the new MagicMobile service, and My Disney Experience updates that enable Mobile Order, digital merchandise check out, and more. But this tech-y new feature seems like a BIG step into the future…and a big change overall.
It seems like there’s tons of new Disney technology popping up lately!

Just yesterday, Disney started rolling out their new MagicMobile service on select smart devices — it’s a feature that lets your phone double as your MagicBand! You’ll be able to use it to tap into the parks and more. But now, Disney’s testing yet another way to make park entry easier, and it seems even MORE tech-y: facial recognition!
Way back in January, we noticed that Bonjour Village Gifts at Magic Kingdom had closed and was getting a makeover!
Looking great!
At the time, we spotted a crew painting the exterior of the building. The Fantasyland shop eventually got a fresh coat of green paint, along with a pretty mural!
We’re getting excited for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!

The celebration will begin October 1st, 2021 (that’s Disney World’s 50th birthday!), and will be a whopping 18 months long. Mickey and Minnie are gonna rock brand-new costumes, and each of the 4 park icons will receive a mini-transformation. And believe it or not, we’ve already seen some progress on the Cinderella Castle makeover in Magic Kingdom! Plus, we’ve gotten a behind-the-scenes peek at what the final result will look like.
