Headed to Magic Kingdom soon?
Cinderella Castle
You’re in for a good time! We checked in with Disney’s flagship park recently and now we’re bringing you EVERYTHING new in food, construction, and merchandise! Let’s dive in!
We are just a few short weeks away from Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration.
Main Street, U.S.A. Railroad Station
In preparation for the 18 month-long event, Disney World has introduced new fireworks shows, spruced up Cinderella Castle, announced special character costumes, special merchandise, and more. On top of all of this, Disney is adding 50 interactive GOLDEN character statues to the parks. All 50 statues have been announced and now the first 50th anniversary statues have been spotted in Magic Kingdom.
It’s almost Disney World’s 50th anniversary!
Happily Ever After Fireworks
The 18-month long celebration kicks off on October 1st with new entertainment, experiences, and MORE! One of the most anticipated things coming to Disney World is the new nighttime spectacular, Disney Enchantment. That means that Happily Ever After (the current fireworks show at Magic Kingdom) is going away soon, and guests trying to see the show tonight might have to wait a bit!
Are you ready for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary?

The MAJOR celebrations kick off on October 1st with new decorations, new looks for our favorite Disney pals, and of course, NEW FIREWORKS. Not only will Harmonious be debuting in EPCOT, but Magic Kingdom will get the brand new Disney Enchantment nighttime spectacular!
Howdy from Magic Kingdom!
Cinderella Castle has been redecorated for the 50th Anniversary!
We’re at the parks alllll the time keeping an eye out for new things to tell you about, so come with us as we share what’s new at Magic Kingdom!
Disney recently announced that a new system would be replacing FastPass+ in Disney World soon.

Disney Genie+ will be a part of the new Genie planning system in the My Disney Experience app. While Genie is free, Genie+ is a paid service that allows you to make ride reservations in a similar way that you used to be able to using FastPass+. Only now, you will only be able to reserve one ride at a time, and you will enter the queue through the Lightning Lane instead of the FastPass+ lane (it’s the same lane — just renamed!). Today, we found more information about the old FastPass+ system while we were in the parks.
Even in the Most Magical Place on Earth, things go wrong. People might get sick, kids might have meltdowns, and things might get lost.
Not open for business yet!
Actually, things DO get lost quite a lot! And some of the most commonly lost items in Disney World might surprise you!
So it’s already September, somehow?! It feels like August was either a single day or a lifetime.
Hey Mickey!
It’s time to discuss everything that will be different in Disney World in September, and there’s a LOT. If you have a visit coming up in September, you might want to know some of these upcoming changes!
Labor Day weekend is here, Halloween is just around the corner, and the holiday season will be here before you know it! That means one thing: the potential for crowds…lots and lots of crowds!
Happy Halloween!
Recently, we’ve seen crowds and wait times reach VERY low levels in Disney World. Today, we’re taking a look at how Labor Day weekend has affected crowds at Disney World.
The start of the holiday season in Disney World is just around the corner and it’s time to get planning!
Welcome to EPCOT!
The holiday season officially starts in Disney World on November 12th. This year you’ll be able to hop over to Magic Kingdom for Disney Very Merriest After Hours Event. This holiday season you’ll also get the chance to enjoy holiday parades and more! Disney World had previously released hours through early November. Now, they’ve park hours through November 16th, giving us a glimpse into just how much time you’ll get to spend in the parks during the early part of the holiday season.
