Spring Break is in full swing and the parks are CROWDED this week!
Crowded Fantasyland During Spring Break
We braved the masses to bring you all the updates from Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom including new snacks, new merch plus some construction news!
Castle Construction and Dumbo Themed Treats!
The moat around Cinderella Castle is still empty as the project to widen the pathway from Liberty Square to Fantasyland gets underway.

We spotted some construction work areas popping up along the pathway from Sleepy Hollow, but overall this shouldn’t affect your trip to the park — you can still grab those castle photos further down Main Street ????.

Over in Storybook Circus, Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak has reopened!

If you’re lucky you might also find a Dumbo cupcake at Big Top Treats, but it was sold out during our visit ????.
MORE Construction and Mini Treats!
Construction is on-going over in Tomorrowland as progress continues on the Tron Attraction. Unlike the draining of the moat, this construction will have some impact of your visit to Magic Kingdom — you can read all about which rides are currently closed due to construction here.

Hi, AJ:
Just one correction! The fun runs at the resorts are not 5Ks! You mentioned “5K races”, but they are much shorter–generally about 1-2 miles.
Its Cinderella Castle, not Cinderella’s. I would think you bloggers should know this.
Thanks, Lisa!
I am loving the Tiki room hat!!! Do you know the price by any chance? I’ve never bought a Disney hat so I don’t even know a ballpark price.
Katie, they typically run between $20-30. I’ll double check with the team member on the ground and update if she knows!
