PHOTOS: Another Part of Magic Kingdom Has Received a 50th Anniversary Makeover

By 1 Comment

Almost everything at Disney World is getting spruced up for the 50th Anniversary celebration, which (can you believe it?) begins in a little less than ONE MONTH!

We’re so close to the start of the 50th Anniversary Celebration!

Cinderella Castle got a HUGE makeover — complete with a new paint job, new decor, and a huge “50” sign right on the front. We’ve also seen other buildings throughout Magic Kingdom getting spiffed up — even the Prince Charming Regal Carrousel got some new golden touches! Now, something else in this park has gotten a golden upgrade.

Disney recently announced a new system to take the place of FastPass+ in Disney World.

Disney Genie+ will take over as the new way to skip many of the standby lines for certain attractions. It’s part of the new Disney Genie program coming to My Disney Experience that will help plan your days in the parks! While Genie (the planning service) is free, Genie+ (the paid FastPass replacement service) is not — Genie+ will cost $15 per day, per ticket. The Genie+ system will let you enter through the new Lightning Lanes (the new name for the old FastPass+ lanes) at select attractions. While we don’t know exactly when the system will go into effect, some new additions in Magic Kingdom are making us think it might be soon!

Review: Is Breakfast at Cinderella’s Royal Table Worth the Cost Right Now?

By 14 Comments

UPDATE: Characters have returned to Cinderella’s Royal Table and are greeting people at their tables once again! Because of this, the price has increased since this review was originally written. The cost to dine at Cinderella’s Royal Table for Breakfast is $65 per Adult and $39 per Child (ages 3 to 9).

Cinderella’s Royal Table has been open for quite some time in Disney World, but it had only been serving lunch and dinner since its reopening…until recently!

Hi Cinderella!

That’s right, breakfast is officially BACK at Cindy’s castle, but it’s not exactly the same as it used to be. Is breakfast worth the cost at the moment or is it something you should skip on for now? We ate at this spot for breakfast recently and now we’re bringing you all of our thoughts.
