food IS a theme park
We got some HUGE Disney announcements recently.
Spaceship Earth at EPCOT
At Disney’s Shareholders Meeting, we learned that Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and La Crêperie would BOTH be opening in EPCOT’s newly expanded France Pavilion on October 1st, 2021. And if ya missed it, we also got some important updates on Disneyland’s reopening and the Disney Cruise Line. But let’s rewind for a sec and talk about those RIDES!
Disney World had BIG plans for 2021 and beyond.
Spaceship Earth
We’ve seen loads of progress on some projects, like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT. But others have gotten swept under the rug. What’s going on with Spaceship Earth, Roundup Rodeo BBQ, and more? Here’s what we know about 10 Disney projects that are still up in the air.
In addition to the Tomorrowland Speedway reopening for guests today, we got a GREAT view of the progress on the upcoming TRON coaster — things are going vertical!
TRON Coaster Construction
We first spotted some of the vertical beams (some of which will be 80 ft tall!) going up at the beginning of May. You can check out some more photos of the construction and everything else that’s new in the Magic Kingdom here!
A Spring Break “hello” from the Magic Kingdom! Just in time for beach time we found a new must-have beach towel, fun new character-inspired gear, a brownie honoring the cutest elephant, and more on our latest visit to the Magic Kingdom!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Let’s start out with the construction progress on the Tron attraction.
Hello from the Magic Kingdom! We spotted the return of a must-have popcorn bucket, construction updates, new merchandise, frames for the Princess Half Marathon medals, and more!
Hello from Main Street, U.S.A.!
Let’s get started with the park’s popcorn stands where a must-have popcorn bucket is back in stock!
Our visit to Magic Kingdom was busy this week! We found a restock with a price increase, a fun krispie treat, more construction and refurbishment work, Haunted Mansion merchandise is back in stock, and more!
Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Look who was in the Magic Kingdom looking rather relaxed — none other than Chicken Little! He was visiting yesterday as part of the rarely-seen-in-the-parks character visits during Mickey and Minnie’s Surprise Celebration — learn more about these visits here.
There sure is a whole lotta construction happening in the Magic Kingdom these days! While it’s not quite as intrusive as all of the work happening in Disneyland, we’re starting to feel a little claustrophobic with all these walls going up!
Walls Up Around Casey Jr Splash ‘N’ Soak Station
The kids’ water play area in Storybook Circus is getting a few updates. The interactive area features Casey Jr. – the train from the classic Dumbo film – along with a monkey, elephant, and camel that spray water.
We’re back!
After recovering from (over)eating for the holidays and welcoming in 2019 we headed to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new for the new year in the park.
Large Mickey Krispy with Sprinkles
And we were rewarded with some new treats (BIG and small), merchandise, and more. Read along to see everything we found!
Disney World’s Magic Kingdom is busy as they work to build the new Tron attraction opening in 2021 for the park’s 50th anniversary (can’t wait!). This week a popular, and original ride was temporarily closed as they continue construction on the new Tron attraction.
Fantasyland Train Station Closed Sign
That’s right, the Walt Disney Railroad isn’t running as Tron’s construction nears the railroad tracks, but it isn’t all bad news for fans of the train.
One of our favorite times to visit the Magic Kingdom is in November and December when the park is dressed up for the holidays. While we were there this week we found new merchandise, checked out construction progress, spotted some of Mickey’s birthday treats and merchandise still hanging around, plus found a new exit to a popular ride!
A Happy Holiday Hello from the Magic Kingdom!
Let’s start this week’s update out on Main Street U.S.A. where we found new dresses, purses, yummy treats, and a Minnie sink as well as sweet ways to continue celebrating Mickey’s 90th!
