food IS a theme park
Hello from Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
Cinderella Castle
We headed over to Disney World’s flagship park yesterday to check out what was new. We found some merchandise and construction updates that we’re sharing with you now. Let’s get started!
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.
On Sunday, Super Bowl LV took place.
Magic Kingdom
Even though Magic Kingdom’s annual Super Bowl parade was canceled this year, Disney still took part in the big day. New trailers for Raya and the Last Dragon and The Falcon and the Winter Solider debuted, and Disney animals even tried to get in on the fun by guessing who would win! And after the Tampa Bay Buccaneers clinched a victory, Magic Kingdom celebrated in its own way.
Howdy, folks! We’ve got some great news.
Tom Sawyer Island
Tom Sawyer Island has been closed for quite some time while Rivers of America was drained. As construction took place, the trails, mines, and picnic benches remained empty. But a few days ago, we spotted rafts being tested on a refilled Rivers of America — and now, the island is back open for business!
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 one step closer to Rivers of America being open for guests again!
Rivers of America
Last fall, Rivers of America was completely drained, and Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat closed with it. After Rivers of America was refilled last month, it looks like things are finally getting back to normal! Both the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are reopening on February 5th, and now we have even more good news.
Welcome back to Magic Kingdom!

We took a tour around the park yesterday and we’re telling you everything we found, so you can stay up to date on the construction, merchandise, and more in Disney World. Let’s get started!
