food IS a theme park
It’s been a magical week at Magic Kingdom (okay, yeah, we went straight for cheese there 😂).
Welcome to Magic Kingdom
But, seriously, Magic Kingdom can be a lot of fun, especially with the new Disney Adventure Friends cavalcade, the 50th Anniversary Celebration, and the Disney Enchantment fireworks show. So what’s been going on at Magic Kingdom recently? Let’s find out!
There’s a reason Magic Kingdom has the word “Magic” right there in its name… .
Magic Kingdom is magical!
That’s because it really is magical — just the sight of Cinderella Castle alone is enough to put a happy tear in your eyes. Magic Kingdom is also home to some fun themed restaurants (hello, Skipper Canteen and Be Our Guest) and cool snacks, as well as a ton of fun shops. So what’s been happening at Magic Kingdom recently?

So let’s get on with it!
Hello, DFB Friends, and Happy Holidays!
