IT’S TIME! We’re back again with a roundup of all of the new updates we got at Disney World this week.
Welcome to Disney World!
You might be wondering just how many things could possibly happen at Disney World in just a week, but the answer is A LOT. We’re at Disney World every single day keeping track of all of the changes — big and small. While we couldn’t possibly include all of these things in just ONE post, we can show you all some of our favorite updates. You ready? Let’s go!
We’ll start over at Disney’s BoardWalk.
Something NEW is at Cake Bake Shop!
The Cake Bake Shop has been under construction for a while now, and progress has been a bit slow-going. However, during a recent visit to the BoardWalk, we spotted a HUGE update.
Signs are up!
Yep, the restaurant now has SIGNS up. The restaurant’s logo is designed in gold on a white background. Faaaancy! We spotted two large signs on either end of the building. They don’t look to be complete just yet, surrounded by unfinished supports. Based on the holes above the signs, we’re wondering if Disney will add lights to illuminate the lettering at night.
The logo is here
We love how they look and can’t wait for the shop to open!

We were EXCITED to see an EPCOT wall!
we were walking by Dreamers Point in World Celebration and noticed that the walls there that had previously been covered are now UNCOVERED. That’s one more construction wall GONE. YAY! This is what it looks like now!
New wall can be seen now!
Here’s a close-up of what the walls look like. The design is VERY EPCOT, we think. It also looks like there are some speakers or something embedded into the wall — we see these little breaks in the design and underneath, it LOOKS like it might be speakers?

However, that’s one more thing crossed off the list of the EPCOT transformation. The entire transformation will be complete when CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza open on June 10th.

The candelabra is BACK at the Haunted Mansion!
Not long after the installation of the Hatbox Ghost in the Haunted Mansion attraction at Magic Kingdom, we noticed that the floating candelabra in the Endless Hallway scene was MISSING. Just last month, we were beginning to worry that change was permanent. Fortunately, we can gladly report that is NOT the case!
Haunted Mansion
Recently, we rode the Haunted Mansion and noticed the floating candelabra is BACK in the Endless Hallway! The floating candelabra is an optical illusion in the Haunted Mansion attractions at Magic Kingdom, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Park, as well as in Phantom Manor in Disneyland Paris.
The Floating Candelabra is BACK
In the Haunted Mansion, the candelabra is carried by a ghost and seems like it is floating. This effect is created through mirrors and forced perspective. The mirrors give off the impression of an endless hallway while the candelabra is connected to a mirror and motor to create that floating effect. We’re SO excited it’s back!
