What's New at Magic Kingdom: LOTS of Ride Closures and MORE Jungle Cruise Changes

Hello from Magic Kingdom!

Cinderella Castle

We’re checkin’ out Disney World’s flagship park to see what’s new in construction, merchandise, and more. Let’s get started!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

We’ve been keeping an eye on the scrim on Peter Pan’s Flight in Fantasyland. Recently, more of it has been removed!

More scrim is gone!

We also noticed some new trees planted by Cinderella Castle, towards New Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.

Lookin’ spiffy!

Speaking of Tomorrowland, the main entrance area by Monster’s, Inc. Laugh Floor is still being repaved.

Still some work being done here!

We’re also keeping up with ALL the progress on the Jungle Cruise reimagining! Recently, we noticed a few new additions: the animatronic skipper’s sunken boat…

Oh no!

…and a new Boats and Baits and Bites shop!

Anyone hungry?

With the further relaxing of safety policies, guests are also being seated a little differently on here now. The plexiglass in the boats is down, and guests can now occupy the middle crates.

Magic Kingdom Additional Updates

We’re continuing to see changes to safety measures across property. On the monorails to Magic Kingdom, the plastic dividers have all been removed.

No more dividers!

The Walt Disney World Railroad remains temporarily closed. However, as a reminder, guests can request the Main Street Train Station as a location when they purchase a PhotoPass photoshoot package.

Anyone want pictures here?

Lastly, bad weather in the area recently caused over 15 rides in all 4 parks to temporarily close — including in Magic Kingdom. The issue was resolved later that day.

Splash Mountain Temporarily Closed
