food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of updates to share with you! So, what are you waiting for? Let’s dive right on in!
Before visiting Disney World, you’ll definitely want to check out the refurbishment calendar online to see what might be closed during your trip.
Check online before your trip so that you aren’t surprised!
Often, attractions will close for a short amount of time to get some maintenance and keep things spiffy, but sometimes those closures last longer than anticipated. The PeopleMover had a surprise closure of more than a year a while back, but one other Magic Kingdom ride has that one beat — the Walt Disney World Railroad.
Halloween is less than a week away, everyone!
Mummy Mickey Popcorn Bucket
Spooky season is still going strong in Disney World, with Boo Bash After Hours events, festive merchandise, and a ton of pumpkin treats. And, we just saw another frightfully fun item in Disney World that Nightmare Before Christmas fans in particular will love!
Bust out your makeup sponges and dust off your wig; it’s time to get ready for Halloween! Need a place to show off your FABULOUS makeup skills? Disney’s After Hours BOO Bash event is the perfect place to don your Disney-inspired Halloween costume!
Let’s get in character!
Take your costume to the next level with some crazy face paint or some monochrome eye makeup! From a friendly ghost to an evil enchantress, we’ve compiled a list of our favorite Disney-inspired makeup tutorials!
We’re in that weird part of the year where it’s both Halloween AND Christmas at Disney World.
We’ve got some bad news about the Mickey beignets…
Plus it’s also still the 50th Anniversary Celebration, meaning that we’re pretty much celebrating all three events at once! And while we’re snacking our way around the parks, we’re also trying to keep up with Disney World menu updates to keep you informed of what’s changing around the resort. And we’ll warn you now — one iconic snack is now missing!
The air is getting cooler and holiday decorations are slowly popping up…that can only mean one thing: the holiday season is approaching!
Christmas Tree in Hollywood Studios
We can’t wait for all of the exciting seasonal offerings coming to Disney World, like EPCOT’s Festival of the Holidays and Disney’s Very Merriest After Hours parties! With so much festive fun to look forward to, we decided to check in on the park pass availability for the holiday season. Are there any park passes left? Let’s take a look!
One of the most wonderful things about going to Disney World is the food — yeah, we’re biased, but that’s what we do!
Time to Dig in!
And when folks in the know think food in Disney World, chances are their thoughts drift to EPCOT. It’s basically a magical, wonderful place for food from around the WORLD — you can have lunch in Italy, a drink in Mexico, a snack in France, and dinner in Germany! But did you know that you can eat around the world at other parts of Disney World without ever stepping foot into EPCOT?
The Skyliner system at Disney World is the latest way to get around Disney’s parks and resorts, connecting EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and a number of Disney World’s resorts.
The Skyliner
If you’ve ever wanted to take the Skyliner home with you, now’s your chance!
Between all the 50th Anniversary festivities and the brand-new Disney Genie program, the parks are looking pretty different nowadays.
Fantasyland
With all the new things, it’s easy to miss the other updates around, like new souvenirs, construction projects, and snacks. So we took a look around the Magic Kingdom to see what has changed since we’ve last been. Here are all the updates you might have missed in the park! [Read more…]
