Hello from Magic Kingdom!

How pretty does Cinderella Castle look?!

We’re in the parks alllll the time because we like to keep you updated with new things we see! And, as things are gearing up for the big 50th anniversary celebration on October 1st, there has been a lot of changes around Disney World’s original park. So, let’s go see what’s new in Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom Food Updates

Sunshine Seasons

The Back Side of Water treat has returned!! It was missing for a little while, but now it’s back! This treat went on the menu originally to celebrate the new updates to Jungle Cruise the ride and the premiere of Jungle Cruise the movie.

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Entrance & Transportation and Ticket Center

The Transportation and Ticket Center got a new paint job on its ticket booth entrances!
