Yes, it’s STILL the “Hap-Happiest Season of ALL” in Magic Kingdom!
Santa Claus in Magic Kingdom
And while we’re taking in all the seasonal snacks and Santa Sightings (AND making sure we mail our letters to ol’ St. Nick, while we’re at it), we’re also checking out WHAT’S NEW in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom Restaurant and Food Updates
The Crystal Palace
Did you know that The Crystal Palace is reopening to guests again in just a matter of days?
The Crystal Palace
Though this table service spot won’t be offering Character Dining upon its initial reopening, it WILL be serving up a new family-style meal!
Outside The Crystal Palace
We noticed that physical distancing markers — or distancing dots — have been placed outside of the restaurant ahead of the welcoming of guests again starting on Sunday, December 13th.

We can’t wait to bring you our review when it reopens this weekend!

The Friar’s Nook
Heading over into Fantasyland, we happened upon a Cast Member stationed at the entrance to the queue for The Friar’s Nook.

The cast member was writing down guests’ orders before they reached the ordering counter with the goal of making the process move faster.

What’ll it be for you at the Nook? Would you go for the Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tots or Creamy Bacon Mac & Cheese?
Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tots
Doesn’t sound like you can go wrong either way to me!

Main Street Confectionery
Though the Baby Yoda Krispy Treats hit the snacking scene a little while ago, this was our first time spotting them at the Main Street Confectionery.
