food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
There was a TON of Magic Kingdom news in the last few days, but fear not! That’s why we’re here keeping up with all the latest Disney news for you.
Magic Kingdom
Without further ado, let’s get into what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Can you ever have enough Mickey and Minnie ears?!
Give us ALL the ears, please!
We definitely don’t think so! And it’s a good thing, because Disney just keeps releasing more and more ears for us to add to our collections. We’ve seen fun Halloween ears, leather ears, tropical ears, and several pairs of festive ears for the 50th anniversary! And now, we’ve found another pair of super unique ears in Disney World!
We’re constantly looking for changes when it comes to Disney World’s construction projects, refurbishments, weather, and park hours so that we can help you best plan your upcoming trip.
Tree of Life
Today, we spotted some changes when it comes to park hours this month at select Disney World theme parks! If you’re heading to Disney World soon, you’ll definitely want to know about these updates as they could help you spend a little extra time in the parks.
The Emporium in Magic Kingdom is FULL of new Disney World merchandise.
Emporium
As Magic Kingdom’s largest store, you can find apparel, accessories, toys, housewares, and more. If you’re into Disney World jackets, we spotted a new 50th anniversary jacket today that might be perfect for your next Disney World trip!
We’ve tried so many delicious eats and treats for Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
So festive!
There was a burger that looked like a toad, a hot dog topped with funnel cake, and even an ENTIRE pyramid made out of chocolate! But, even with all of festive food we’ve had, there is STILL more to try — can you believe it?! Come with us as we taste two new sweet treats in Magic Kingdom!
UPDATE: The Frontierland Shootin’ Arcade will not be closing for a month, the Disney World website has been updated with info showing that the attraction will be open for the foreseeable future.
The Disney World website can be a valuable tool for planning your vacation.
Make sure to use the website when planning your trip!
Here you’ll find park hours, showtimes, restaurant menus, and so much more. The site also keeps a running list of attractions that are under refurbishment, so that you know what will be closed during your trip. And today, we noticed a mysterious closure coming soon…but it’s not listed on the refurb calendar!
No matter how much you plan, sometimes there can be hiccups during your Disney World trip.
Rain in Disney
You could get an unexpected storm roll through while you’re trying to enjoy the parks, your favorite ride could be down, or that piece of merchandise you really wanted could be sold out. Transportation can be another major issue, which is exactly what’s happening right now in Disney World!
If you’re heading to Disney World soon, be prepared for 50th Anniversary merchandise all over the parks.
Vault Collection Display
There are a few different new collections, like the Celebration and Castle collections and the Vault collection. The Vault items are vintage-style souvenirs that celebrate Disney World’s past, and you can find all of that merchandise at a special display area in the Main Street Cinema. Today, while we were looking around at the sentimental souvenirs, we spotted a couple of NEW to us items!
Pirates of the Caribbean is a classic Disney attraction that we all know and love!
Pirates of the Caribbean in Magic Kingdom!
There are several Easter eggs and ride secrets in Disney World that only the pros know, and you can even spot some fun details outside of the attraction! And today, we’re showing you another detail that you have probably walked by each time you’ve visited the Magic Kingdom!
Disney World’s 50th anniversary kicked off on Friday, October 1st, and we were in the parks to take in all of the celebrations.
Cinderella Castle in its 50th Anniversary decor
We tried a ton of new food items, saw new entertainment, checked out a new ride, and more! The day was exciting and historic, marking a huge milestone for Disney World — but that doesn’t mean it didn’t have its issues. We noticed some not-so-magical things happening on the 50th anniversary, and we’re here to share our experience and what could be done to fix or avoid these issues in the future.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
