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 the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!
Magic Kingdom
And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
ICYMI, The Lunching Pad reopened TODAY in Magic Kingdom! This spot is back to its usual duties of serving counter service eats to guests who have blasted into Tomorrowland.
The Lunching Pad
There are no major changes to the menu to report upon reopening… and that’s not a bad thing at all, when you consider that The Lunching Pad serves — among other items — the Pepper Jack Warm Stuffed Pretzel AND the Cream Cheese Warm Stuffed Pretzel! Join us as we check out the newly reopened Lunching Pad, and grab a pretzel (and more) while we’re at it! [Read more…]
Halloween may not be here yet, but we’re already stocking up on Christmas spirit jerseys and ornaments!
Mickey and Minnie Ornaments
Now, the only question we have is how late will the parks be open when we visit during Christmastime? Disney is starting to give us a better idea of that now.
As Walt Disney World continues in its phased reopening, restaurants are continuing to reopen along with the rest of the Resort.
Tomorrowland
Yesterday, for instance, delivered the reopenings of Chefs de France in EPCOT and ABC Commissary in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And today, we’re coming to you from Magic Kingdom to bring you news of a spot that has joined the list of reopened restaurants… [Read more…]
Splash Mountain is set to get a Princess and the Frog re-theming at some point in the future, but for the moment the attraction is still running in Magic Kingdom in its current form.
Splash Mountain
We’ve seen extremely long lines for Splash Mountain merchandise in the past, but today the line for Splash Mountain itself was so long it had us saying “my oh my, what a CRAZY day!”
There are several construction projects going on around Disney World that we’ve been keeping an eye on.
TRON Construction
Over at Magic Kingdom, we’ve got the TRON construction in progress. Plus, there’s some construction going on at Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT, as well as the Star Wars hotel elsewhere on property. Recently, we added another project to our watch list — the Magic Kingdom entry sign paint job.
We’ve been making our way around the Disney World theme parks and resorts to see what’s new. From Halloween snacks to new merchandise, there’s so much to see!
Candy Corn Cupcake
Recently, we visited Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort & Campground and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to see what fun things we could find there. Join us on a trip to the most magical place on earth and into the wilderness to see what’s new at these spots!
Hello, friends! It’s a beautiful day for a walk around Magic Kingdom, don’t ya think?
Chip and Dale at Magic Kingdom
As you may know, we like to check-in after we visit the parks to recap all of the food, merchandise, and construction updates we spotted! So while Chip and Dale are saying hello, we’ll fill you in on all the new things we found!
Pin collecting and trading can be a fun way for guests to create memories in Disney World!
Pin trading board
Lately, we’ve seen some really cool new pins make their way into the parks, like these glowing Haunted Mansion pins, a Taco Tuesday pin, and a limited edition Disney Villains pin set. And those new additions aren’t the only exciting news we have to share with all you pin traders out there!
Hey, all you Happy Haunts! We’ve got MORE Haunted Mansion merch for you.
Memento Mori
You didn’t think Halloween was over, did you? A few Christmas ornaments make their way to Disney World and all of a sudden Halloween is kaput?? Guess again! TWO new Haunted Mansion pins have materialized at Memento Mori in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. These aren’t your regular, run-of-the-mill Mansion pins. These are limited release pins and more importantly, they glow-in-the-dark!
