food IS a theme park
Hello from Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
Cinderella Castle
We headed over to Disney World’s flagship park yesterday to check out what was new. We found some merchandise and construction updates that we’re sharing with you now. Let’s get started!
We’re one step closer to Rivers of America being open for guests again!
Rivers of America
Last fall, Rivers of America was completely drained, and Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat closed with it. After Rivers of America was refilled last month, it looks like things are finally getting back to normal! Both the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are reopening on February 5th, and now we have even more good news.
Liberty Square Market in Magic Kingdom closed for refurbishment in early January.
Liberty Square Market Closed
The quick-service location had walls up starting January 11th, and it’s expected to reopen in February. And in Magic Kingdom today, we spotted something promising!
Yesterday we were back in Magic Kingdom, and now we’re here to share what’s new!
Cinderella Castle
We have a few construction updates and some brand-new merchandise. We even spotted some characters! Let’s dive right in.
If you’ve been to Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World recently, you might have noticed that the Rivers of America has been drained for some time.
Tom Sawyer Island Pre-Construction
Currently Tom Sawyer Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat are listed on the refurb calendar through Feb. 28. And today, we did see active construction on the island while we were at Magic Kingdom!
Construction is happening ALL over Disney World!
Tomorrowland
We have so many exciting projects to look forward to including Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. And on our latest visit to Magic Kingdom, we noticed some MAJOR progress to the upcoming TRON Lightcycle Run!
Disney World is constantly preparing for their 50th anniversary coming up in October of 2021.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve seen several upcoming attractions like Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, and TRON Lightcycle Run, and many places are getting a FULL makeover like the Walt Disney World entrance and EPCOT. One of the most recent projects involved the Magic Kingdom entrance sign, and we’ve got a look at how it’s coming along!
Things definitely look a little bit different around the Rivers of America today!
Rivers of America Before the Water was Drained
If you’re headed to the Haunted Mansion today in honor of the spooky holiday, you might notice something a little strange along the way. We recently noticed that the water level of the Rivers of America was lower than normal — but now, it’s completely drained!
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!
There’s nothing quite like the drive up to Magic Kingdom.
Magic Kingdom Sign
It just gives you a happy feeling, doesn’t it? That iconic archway seriously has a special place in our hearts. Today, though, we noticed something a little bit different about the famous Magic Kingdom sign. So, what’s new?
