food IS a theme park
Be sure to check out our list of restaurants in the Magic Kingdom.
Royal Greetings, from the Magic Kingdom!
Haunted Mansion
We’ve been busy checking out the construction, merchandise, and foodie updates at the Most Magical Place on Earth! Step inside the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World and see what’s new this week.
We love every single Disney World park — they’re all amazing!
Entering Walt Disney World Resort
Still, sometimes we like to think about which park is the very best, and it’s a tough decision! So, we pit Animal Kingdom, Magic Kingdom, EPCOT, and Hollywood Studios against one another in a variety of categories — and our readers picked a winner. This is the BATTLE OF THE PARKS!
Things at Disney World have definitely changed following the park closures.
Cinderella’s Royal Table
We’re constantly watching for Park Pass Reservation availability, ordering a LOT more on Mobile Order, and dealing with a whole new world where FastPass+ is suspended. On top of all that, there’s limited capacity at the parks.
It certainly was a nice morning to head into Magic Kingdom today!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
On our way in, we thought that we would take a closer look at the progress with the new 50th-anniversary paint job taking place on the Magic Kingdom entrance sign! Work is certainly coming along and we’re getting excited to see the finished product.
Crowds in Disney World have started to pick up. And with SO many holidays just around the corner, we anticipate even higher attendance numbers.
Roy and Minnie
Thanksgiving’s already gearing up to be quite the holiday in the parks. As more people plan to return back to the parks soon, the Disney Park Pass system has seen varying availability for guests planning their upcoming vacations for the holidays.
There are lots of exciting attractions coming to Disney World in the next few years and one of the ones we’re most pumped for is TRON Lightcycle Run.
TRON Lightcycle Run
Every time we’re in Magic Kingdom (which is a lot), we swing over to Tomorrowland to take a gander at the upcoming TRON Lightcycle Run coaster. Though much of the attraction is inside, we ARE able to see changes outside of the building!
Disney World is always full of fun surprises, and part of the fun is when something unexpected pops up!
Haunted Mansion
And we just found the most fun and BEST refurbishment sign we’ve ever seen in the parks!
Disney World has been experiencing larger crowds in the parks recently. And we’re starting to see a few changes already!
Magic Kingdom
Disney has brought back some of the amazing seasonal entertainment we all know and love, more restaurants and dining kiosks are opening, and each day seems to bring more news of extended hours for the parks.
As these changes are taking place, Disney continues to survey guests to find out what’s important and not important to visitors to determine what future changes they need to implement. They want to know more about guests, including what services and experiences will entice them to come back, and what will keep them away.
Disney World has been switching up its hours quite a bit recently in all four parks as more crowds continue to head back to the parks.
Magic Kingdom
While hours in the parks had already been extended for Columbus Day Weekend previously, now guests have an extra hour to explore the attractions, stores, and restaurants when they return over the next two days!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at the Magic Kingdom and Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort!

And, we’ve got plenty of food, merchandise, and construction updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
