food IS a theme park
We’re baaaack… And, with an all new What’s New at Magic Kingdom too (aw yeaaah!).
Magic Kingdom, Here We Come!
We have LOTS of construction, merch, and food updates for ya, so let’s take a quick trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Wow, it’s been a summer of sign updates! And now we’ve got another one in Disney World’s Tomorrowland.
Tomorrowland Sign
After a few new paint jobs within the land, we’ve now noticed that the whole dang SIGN is gone!
Help! We’ve got ourselves a Code 2319! A cone 2319, that is!

That’s right, the newest character cone to arrive in Magic Kingdom is the 2319 Cone!
We have a LOT of ground to cover in this week’s What’s New in Magic Kingdom! We caught up with construction updates, found a delicious new sundae (and more cold treats), and noticed SO. MUCH. MERCH!
Main Street, U.S.A.
We were greeted with rainy weather during our visit, but the gloomy skies didn’t stop us from exploring and enjoying the Most Magical Place On Earth. Let’s get started!
We know that many of you planned your Disney World vacation BEFORE the Galaxy’s Edge dates were released, so we want to do our best to help you navigate and alleviate the stress of some of those crowds! If you’re a morning person then you’re in for a treat with new EXTRA Extra Magic Hours! Not sure what that means? No problemo — we’re gonna tell you all about it!
Regular Extra Magic Hours allow Disney World hotel guests to access the parks with low crowds first thing in the morning to enjoy the cooler temps, shorter lines, cool photos with fewer guests, etc. Now…you HAVE to be staying at a Disney resort in order to have access to these Extra Magic Hours. This is one of the many perks that Disney puts in place to get you to stay at one of their hotels over off-property hotels.

So, what are Extra Extra Magic Hours and why were they created? Well, Disney often has Extra Magic Hours, but these are typically just an hour or two in the morning or evening at the parks. Extra Extra Magic Hours are additional park hours that have been added for resort guests DAILY.
Our guess is that Disney has done this to try to alleviate some of the Galaxy’s Edge crowds since an insane amount of guests will be heading to the parks for the opening of the new land this fall. Galaxy’s Edge is set to open on August 29th, which is why the Extra Extra Magic Hours will be offered every day starting September 1. They will continue until November 2, 2019, at the following theme parks and times.
Welcome to another What’s New coming at you from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom! Lately we’ve seen lots of construction progress in various locations, and there’s no shortage of new merchandise, either! So put on your sunscreen, and let’s explore!
