Disney World’s 50th Anniversary brought several new shows and attractions to the parks. One of those was a fun show at Disney’s Animal Kingdom featuring kites in the shape of Disney characters. Timon and Pumba Disney KiteTails has characters from The Lion King and The Jungle Book as intricate 3D kite creations, flying above the Discovery River Lagoon throughout the day. If you’ve loved this show as much as we do, we unfortunately have some very sad news. Disney KiteTails will be ending after September 30th, 2022. Disney’s website has been updated to announce that the final performance will be on that date. ©Disney Until October 2022, you can watch KiteTails throughout the day, as it’s presented in a walk-by format. That means that it runs several times throughout the day (about every 20 minutes) from 9:10AM to 3:10PM. Each show lasts about 5 minutes. Be sure to check out the My Disney Experience app to see when the show is running during your visit! Hey There! At the D23 Expo this year, we also heard that the 50th Anniversary fireworks show in EPCOT (Harmonious) is going to end and be replaced with a new nighttime spectacular, but that change won’t be happening until sometime late next year. Harmonious If you’re hoping to catch one more performance of KiteTails in Animal Kingdom, be sure to visit within the next couple of weeks before it ends.

You also get discounts on merchandise and dining, access to exclusive merch in the parks, and a few free souvenirs! Annual Passholder Card For a limited time, one Annual Passholder discount is even BETTER than usual.

To be completely honest with you, we’re still recovering from the 2022 D23 Expo. We heard SO MANY big announcements in such a short amount of time, and we’re still trying to process what all of them really mean. If you’re feeling the same way, maybe we can figure it out together. Magic Kingdom From teasing a massive Magic Kingdom expansion to announcing an opening date for an upcoming roller coaster, Disney did NOT hold back at the Expo…or did they? Let’s take a look at all the projects that are in the works at Disney World right now, from updates that are definitely happening to attractions that Disney seems to have forgotten about. You won’t be surprised to see that many of the projects in the works are taking place at EPCOT. This park is currently going through a major transformation, and we’ve already seen huge changes like the France pavilion expansion in World Showcase, the new Space 220 restaurant, and the new Connections Café and Eatery restaurant. There’s still a lot more to come, as you’ll see here! Spaceship Earth We’ll start out with the projects that appear to be set in stone — some of which even have opening dates already announced! What Is Definitely Coming to Disney World? Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana This walk-through attraction, themed after Disney’s Moana, is coming to World Nature in EPCOT. It’s been described as a “lush exploration trail” where people can “play with magical, living water.” Journey of Water Concept Art ©Disney Disney has shown off some concept art for the attraction, which features big rock structures, fountains, walkways, and a large symbol of the heart of Te Fiti. Speaking of Te Fiti, there’s going to be a BIG model of her (around 15 feet tall!) inside the attraction that’s made of more than 3,000 pieces of foliage. WOW! Disney has announced that this attraction is set to open in late 2023! We’re continuing to keep an eye on the construction for Journey of Water, and we’ll keep bringing you updates when we spot changes there. Click here to learn more about Journey of Water — Inspired by Moana. EPCOT World Celebration Changes We’re sticking with EPCOT for the next one. Disney has announced some major changes coming to World Celebration and the EPCOT entrance. We’ve already seen some of the updates to the entrance (like a new fountain in front of Spaceship Earth), but more changes are on the way. EPCOT There will be a new area called Dreamers Point that will feature a new statue of Walt Disney that’s called “Walt the Dreamer.” It’s going to be located near the exit of Spaceship Earth. We got to check out this statue at the D23 Expo, where we learned that it’s meant to celebrate the way Walt always looked towards the future. “Walt the Dreamer” Also coming to World Celebration are some new festival areas, called CommuniCore Hall and CommuniCore Plaza. These are going to be a sort of “home base” for EPCOT’s seasonal festivals, which seem to be happening most of the time during the year. CommuniCore Plaza is a big outdoor space that could host concerts and other performances. It will also have some gardens that will display art during the festivals. CommuniCore Plaza ©Disney CommuniCore Hall is located within the plaza, and it will be the first permanent structure built solely for festival programs. It can host all kinds of experiences inside, including kitchens, art galleries, live music, and more. Learn more about the CommuniCore areas here! TRON: Lightcycle Run We’re hopping over to Magic Kingdom for the next attraction! TRON: Lightcycle Run is a new roller coaster coming to Tomorrowland. It’s themed after the Disney movie Tron: Legacy, and it will feature unique motorcycle-style ride vehicles. Whoa! Get ready to board a train of two-wheeled Lightcycles and “launch into the Grid for a race through a dark, computerized world” reaching speeds up to 59 miles per hour. TRON construction We’ve been tracking the progress at the construction site for this coaster, and Disney finally announced that it will open in the spring of 2023! If you’re hoping to get on the coaster during your next vacation, be sure to book your Disney World trip for the summer of 2023 or later. Learn more about TRON: Lightcycle Run here. What Is Potentially Coming to Disney World? During the D23 Expo, Josh D’Amaro (Chairperson of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products) announced that Disney has a few major projects in early development right now. The biggest include a Magic Kingdom expansion with new lands and a complete overhaul of DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. DinoLand, U.S.A. Keep in mind that both of these projects are really just concepts right now. We likely won’t see them come to be anytime soon, and there’s no promise that they’ll happen at all. However, we do know that Disney Imagineers are currently working on both ideas. Huge Magic Kingdom Expansion A big expansion might be coming to Magic Kingdom, with new lands potentially coming to the area behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. One possibility is a land themed to Coco! There could be the town square of Santa Cecilia, all dressed up for a Dia de Los Muertos celebration. A Disney Imagineer wondered out loud what it would be like to climb onto an alebrije and fly into the land of the dead. Possible Land Expansion in Magic Kingdom We could also see an Encanto-themed area in this expansion! About this possibility, Disney has said, “What if you could walk into the Madrigals’ casita…What if Mirabel is your guide…What if you could step up to a door and discover your own magical gift?” Encanto at D23 Finally, Disney really got us excited by mentioning a land themed to the Disney villains. We would love to explore some of our favorite villains’ lairs, meet the iconic baddies, and maybe even see a ride themed to them! Possible Villain Land Expansion Coming to Magic Kingdom But are any of these ideas ever actually going to happen? Well, they’re certainly in the very early stages of development, but Josh D’Amaro said, “We are not up here daydreaming. It’s important to me that you know that these things…they are very real.” Learn more about the Magic Kingdom expansion here. Major Overhaul to Dinoland U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Although DinoLand U.S.A. does have a really fun Imagineering backstory, sometimes this area can seem a little bit empty. Disney is apparently considering a complete overhaul of the space with lands themed to Zootopia and Moana! WOW! So far, all we’ve heard is that guests could be immersed in various districts from the movie Zootopia (potentially some that were not even seen in the movie) and also enter the world of Moana. Like the Magic Kingdom expansion, this project is currently in the early stages of development, so we will probably not see it come to fruition anytime soon. But we will absolutely be looking out for updates! Click here to learn more about the Dinoland U.S.A. changes. Which Projects Are On Hold for Now? Mary Poppins Attraction in EPCOT Back in 2019, a Mary Poppins-inspired attraction was announced for the United Kingdom pavilion in EPCOT’s World Showcase. Mary Poppins attraction concept art The attraction was going to allow people to “step in time down Cherry Tree Lane past Admiral Boom’s house, then enter Number 17, home of the Banks family.” Since the original announcement, Disney has released a statement that the development for the Mary Poppins-themed attraction has been postponed, and the project is officially on hold. Could the attraction ever come to EPCOT? Only time may tell. Learn more about the proposed Mary Poppins attraction here. Spaceship Earth Renovation Also in 2019, Disney announced a big refurbishment was coming to Spaceship Earth. They mentioned that there would be new scenes and fresh narration as part of the updates. ©Disney Disney CEO Bob Chapek (who was Chairman of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products at the time) said, “The new Spaceship Earth will still feature great moments of human history, but instead of inventions and technology, we’ll focus on something that binds us all together — storytelling.” Spaceship Earth However, Disney World closed due to the COVID-19 pandemic shortly before this attraction was slated to close for refurbishment. After the parks reopened, we didn’t hear any more updates about this renovation until Disney announced that the project has been postponed indefinitely. For now, Spaceship Earth will remain the same! Click here to learn more about the Spaceship Earth renovation. Wondrous China Have you seen Canada Far & Wide in CircleVision 360 over in the Canada pavilion in World Showcase? The movie attraction showcases the beauty of that country on huge screens. Well, Disney planned to create another attraction that was very similar to that one in a different World Showcase pavilion — China! Wondrous China ©Disney Disney announced previously that Wondrous China would become the next CircleVision 360 film, but since the announcement, we haven’t heard anything about the new attraction. We’re assuming that — like a few other EPCOT projects — this one is on pause for now. Find out what else has been cut from the EPCOT transformation here. Play! Pavilion The Play! Pavilion is also an EPCOT project (we told you there were a bunch of these!). This attraction was going to allow guests to participate in new adventures with Disney characters, in both real and virtual experiences. It’s located in the former Wonders of Life pavilion, and Disney has called it a “digital metropolis.” PLAY! Pavilion Concept Art ©Disney Some of the experiences that Disney suggested might come to the pavilion include helping fashion icon Edna Mode from The Incredibles “on her quest to rid the world of uninspired style” and competing in a water balloon fight hosted by Huey, Dewey, Louie, and Webby. PLAY! Pavilion Concept Art ©Disney As much as we’d love to design with Edna and have a water balloon fight with Huey, Dewey, and Louie, it doesn’t look like we’ll get to do that anytime soon. The pavilion was originally supposed to open for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary (on October 1st, 2021), but it was delayed. A revised opening timeline has not yet been announced, and Disney didn’t mention the pavilion at all at the recent D23 Expo. Click here to learn more about the Play! Pavilion. There you have it! There are some attractions that we cannot WAIT to see in the parks as soon as next year, and as for the others, well, we’ll keep our fingers crossed but probably won’t count on them happening anytime soon. We’ll of course keep an eye out and let you know as soon as we hear any updates about these projects. Keep following DFB for more of the latest news from Disney World.

The new bands are the next generation of MagicBand, and they come with some updated features, including interactions with the 50th Anniversary statues and a Bounty Hunter scavenger hunt in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. So why would you choose a normal MagicBand when these updated versions are available? There are actually a few reasons. Get a load of all those MagicBands! For one, regular MagicBands are usually cheaper than MagicBand+. Most MagicBand+ designs are $44.99, whereas normal MagicBands are usually around $29.99. Also, you don’t have to charge a regular MagicBand! (Although keep in mind that MagicBand+ will still function as a normal band if it’s not charged — it just won’t have the new features available.) So if you’re planning on sticking with the normal bands, you may want to take a look at 7 NEW MagicBands that Disney just released online! If you head to shopDisney now, you can take a look at a LOT of MagicBand options (both normal and MagicBand+). Today we noticed a few new additions to the site. One of the new bands is themed to the “Dance of the Hours” scene from Fantasia. The band has Hyacinth Hippo… ©Disney …and Ben Ali Gator on either side! ©Disney You can get it for $29.99. Click here to buy the Fantasia MagicBand. For all the Figment fans out there — first of all, how pumped are you that the Figment meet-and-greet is returning to EPCOT?!

MagicBand This design is a limited edition of 3,660, and the band comes in an illustrated presentation box. Figment is on one side… 2022 EPCOT Food and Wine Festival Figment MagicBand …and there are some fruits and veg on the other. ©Disney You can get this band for $39.99. Click here to buy the Figment MagicBand. If Avatar: Flight of Passage is your favorite ride in Disney World, you’ll want to see this Pandora MagicBand. It’s themed to the Pandora land in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, with a woodsprite on one side… The other side …and the word “Sivako” on the other. If you’ve been on Flight of Passage before, you already know that “Sivako” means “Rise to the Challenge” in the Na’vi language. Sivako! You can get this MagicBand for $29.99. Click here to buy the Avatar: Flight of Passage MagicBand. One of our favorite new MagicBands is designed by Dooney & Bourke. It’s part of their new Emperor’s New Groove collection, which features a design of pastel llamas! MagicBand This MagicBand has different colorful llamas all over it. ©Disney Because it’s a designer band, this one costs $58. It’s pricey for sure, but we do love that llama design.

If you would LOVE for areas themed to Coco, Encanto, or even Zootopia or the Disney villains to be added to the Disney World theme parks, you might be in luck! The D23 Expo Has Ended! During the 2022 D23 Expo, some Disney executives discussed a few Blue Sky ideas they’re working on for the parks. These are things that could come to the parks — a.k.a. they’re NOT officially confirmed and they could change substantially (or never even get built), but they are things Disney is working on. Mainly, they discussed a potential Moana and/or Zootopia re-theme for DinoLand U.S.A. in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Park and new Coco, Encanto, and Disney villains-themed spaces beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad in Magic Kingdom. If you’ve seen the concept art you might already be really excited about these possibilities, but we took out our microscope and now we’re highlighting the details in these that you NEVER noticed! Blue Sky Disclaimer Before we dive into the concept art, we do want to note, again, that these are Blue Sky ideas. That means they’re in the early stages of development and have only been teased (not confirmed) for the parks. Disney described these as “early concept explorations for Dinoland U.S.A.,” “potential expansion opportunities…at Magic Kingdom Park,” and “creative ‘what if’ ideas.” In other words, take all of this with a grain of salt. What you see in this concept art may never come to be, or it may come to the parks in a very different form. ©Disney Josh D’Amaro, the Chairman of the Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products did say, “We are not up here daydreaming. It’s important to me that you know that these things…they are very real.” So while they are in the early stages of working on these projects, D’Amaro does seem to indicate that they are truly taking these ideas seriously. So just what does the concept art potentially reveal? Well, we zoomed in REALLY close and have some thoughts! DFB Disclaimer We looked at this concept art closely — reeaaalllly closely — we put on our glasses and really zoomed in. We looked at some movie screenshots and we even found some oddly connected Disney posts from 2019 and 2018. We may or may not have embodied this GIF. But things can look different to different people, and concept art is just that…a concept. So take our own discussion below with another grain of salt. We’re sharing what we see and what we think we can maybe see in the concept art, but none of the little details have been officially confirmed by Disney. Magic Kingdom Expansion Here’s a full look at the concept art for the potential Magic Kingdom expansion, which could bring lands themed to Coco, Encanto, and the Disney villains beyond Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. Possible Land Expansion in Magic Kingdom Starting with the bottom of the concept art, it looks like we’re being transported into the town of Santa Cecilia from Coco. There is a fountain at the bottom center of the art, with some people strolling around a central area in front of it, and homes surrounding it. There also appears to be a covered area, like a gazebo of sorts, in the upper area of this little square. A Look at the Bottom of the Concept Art This whole area, including the gazebo, seems reminiscent of the Mariachi Plaza scene near the beginning of the movie. There are a lot of possibilities here. There could be meet-and-greets tucked away in some of these spaces, merchandise shops within the buildings surrounding the plaza, a restaurant perhaps, or even some kind of live performance done in the plaza within that gazebo. ©Disney Moving beyond this space, toward the upper left-hand side, we see a grassy area with an upward incline and a few different buildings and objects. A Closer Look The big building toward the back seems somewhat reminiscent (though not identical) to the tomb of Ernesto de la Cruz, the movie’s famous villain. If that is the case, then the remainder of this green space surrounding that building could be the cemetery seen in the movie, which becomes a central part of Miguel’s story and the entire celebration of Dia de Los Muertos. ©Disney Disney has dipped its toe in cemeteries before (we’re looking at you — Haunted Mansion) so it’s possible this could be themed to the cemetery in the film. Those shadowy objects could be tombstones, with the smaller buildings serving as larger tombs. It would be interesting to see just what Disney would do in this space — maybe an Ernesto de la Cruz meet-and-greet in skeleton form? Could this be “too spooky” of a space for fans who maybe aren’t all that fond of walking through cemeteries? Will it be more of a background space seen but never walked through? We’ll have to wait to find out — that’s if this space ever truly becomes a reality, of course. Then we hop to the right-hand side of the concept art. From the Coco plaza, it looks like there may be a series of buildings/a walkway that eventually leads guests into the world of Encanto. We Would Love to See What This Will Become The central thing you can see here is the Casita — the home of the Madrigals. During D23, one Disney executive did discuss how cool it would be to go INSIDE the Casita, meet the Madrigals, check out those epic rooms, and maybe even open your own door to discover your gift. So if there is some kind of attraction or experience in this space, it does seem like it would likely be located within the Casita. Around it, you can see what might be smaller buildings, but it’s not totally clear. Perhaps there will be shops, restaurants, or other seating/meet-and-greet areas nearby? Casa Madrigal Finally, the back of the concept art shows the villains land that could also be added to this space. It looks like that path from the Coco plaza could connect to a central area that branches off to the right to Encanto and straight ahead to the villains. It also looks like there could be some kind of big gate-like structure forming the entrance of this villains-themed land, with large bushes, trees, or other landscape blocking it off from the other areas. Could There Be a Gate? There appear to be some spires/buildings in the distance, with one big one popping up right in the center. That back structure looks similar to Maleficent’s castle on Forbidden Mountain. ©Disney It’s interesting because back in 2019, the Disney Parks Blog released a doodle of Maleficent taking over the Disney mountains. In that post, they shared a quote from artist Ashley Taylor who said, “Maleficent resides in the Forbidden Mountains…It’s easy to imagine her and her goons trying to take over all of the mountains at Magic Kingdom Park.” Hmmmmmm…considering that her area would potentially be located behind one of the park’s most iconic mountains, Thunder Mountain, this all seems very interesting! The Disney Doodle ©Disney The remainder of the area appears to just be enveloped in a green haze, with some kind of swirling formation at the bottom near Casa Madrigal. Another Look In the far background, there is possibly a figure that looks a bit like Chernabog from Fantasia. Chernabog? Interestingly, back in 2018 Disney also released a doodle imagining what would happen if Chernabog would do if he visited Disney World. The artist imagined that Chernabog might want to seek out a tall vantage point like…Big Thunder Mountain Railroad! ©Disney Seriously, there is just TOO much of a coincidence here! DinoLand U.S.A. Next, let’s look at the DinoLand U.S.A. re-theme concept art. This concept art actually reveals a LOT more than the Magic Kingdom art does. WOW! Starting at the bottom left, you can see a path around a big lake/water area. It looks like there is a platform leading potentially from the walkway toward the giant sail with Moana’s symbol on it. It looks like what you’re walking to is meant to be a sort-of giant boat (you can see the bottom of the boat below that platform). This could be the loading or unloading area for a boat ride perhaps. It looks like there is a boat coming in to potentially unload guests near the platform, and another boat heading off (likely at the start of the ride) toward a break in the waterfall in the distance. What’s even more exciting is it looks like this is a boat ride with a DROP! To the left, you can see boats coming down that drop. Behind the drop, you see a vast, green, hilly/mountainous landscape that likely covers whatever buildings are used for the indoor portion of this ride. Moving toward the center of the art, we see lots of foliage and a bridge that takes guests to another area. That area looks like it has some buildings with more domed roofs. These could be part of the queue for the ride, a shop, a restaurant, or many other things. DinoLand USA Expansion Moving to the bottom right, we see a big attraction again themed to Moana given the circular Moana symbols on the sails. It looks like this would be a Dumbo-type spinner ride. You can see all of the vehicles, some at varying heights, going around a central building area, with water flowing over them (and potentially splashing the riders!) at certain points. ©Disney Given the structure of the building with the various pieces sticking out of it at multiple points, the many sails, and the overall sort-of brown color scheme, it looks like this could be themed to the Kakamora! If a Kakamora animatronic or meet-and-greet is also in the works, we wouldn’t be mad. ©Disney The other possible theme for DinoLand U.S.A. that Disney discussed is Zootopia. That appears to be reflected in the town in the distance (you can spot it in the concept art just a little further below), which does look like the Zootopia downtown skyline (depicted in the movie screenshot below). ©Disney It looks like there’s a central path that connects the Moana space to the Zootopia one, with a building (the train station?) in the center. It also looks like there are some massive trees to the sides of the downtown, maybe representing the rainforest district? Also, is it just us or does someone see a giant green creature or structure in the central pathway leading to Zootopia? There It Is! Maybe they’re the palm trees from this scene? ©Disney And that’s a breakdown of the concept art Disney has shared for these Blue Sky ideas.

Are you ready to kick off yet another anniversary celebration?! 100 Years of Wonder You might be fatigued from the almost year-long 50th Anniversary celebration over at Disney World (which will continue on through March 2023), but it’s time to get prepared for an even bigger milestone — 100 years. That’s right, The Walt Disney Company is about to celebrate its 100th Anniversary, and here’s when it starts! At the 2022 D23 Expo, Disney released more information about their 100th Anniversary celebration — Disney 100 Years of Wonder! During the event, the Chairman of Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, Josh D’Amaro, announced that the celebration will kick off during Clark’s New Year’s Rockkin’ Eve with Ryan Seacrest on ABC! The New Logo! During the celebration, guests can expect to see celebratory merchandise like the Mickey Platinum Drip Minnie Ears. Platinum Drip Minnie Ears Along with a new, 100th anniversary Walt Disney Studios logo, moviegoers can also expect to see films like Wish hit theaters in 2023. The movie is inspired by the celebration and follows Asha, a girl who wishes upon a star and causes it to come down from the sky. ©Disney And Disneyland will be the “heart of the celebration” with special entertainment moments popping up around the resort. ©Disney Guests will see the return of the Magic Happens Parade and the debut of two new nighttime spectaculars — “World of Color — One” and Wondrous Journeys. Wondrous Journeys will “feature nods to all 60 Walt Disney Animation Studios films to date, taking viewers on a journey filled with artistry, music, storytelling, and heart.” ©Disney And in late 2023, Disney World will also receive a new nighttime show in EPCOT for the celebration. Harmonious in EPCOT Hong Kong Disneyland will also get a new statue of Walt Disney and Mickey to celebrate the occasion! Walt Statue ©Disney You can also expect to see Disney 100 – The Traveling Exhibition which will premiere at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia in February 2023. It will travel to big cities to celebrate the occasion, like Chicago, IL, Kansas City, MO, and Munich, Germany. ©Disney We’re looking forward to seeing this celebration kick off in January 2023!

It’s almost Halloweeeeeen! Hi, Mickey! Okay, there’s still a ways to go, BUT it’s been Halloween in Disney World for over a month now, so it’s safe to say we’re well into spooky season. One of the best parts of this time of year is all of the fun treats Disney releases, and we’ve already had quite a few! But now, it’s time for one more, because we’re taking a bite into a candle cake that might just raise some up witches from the beyond. This is the Black Flame Candle Cake from Gasparilla Island Grill at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa! Spooky! We’ve seen a similar candle cake before, but that one was black and had some different flavors inside. Black Flame Candle Cake It’s a vanilla sponge cake with caramel buttercream and white chocolate ganache for $7.99. Who lit the black flame candle? As you can see, it’s made to look like a candle with the black flame on top (which is chocolate!). This is modeled after that famous candle that brought the Sanderson Sisters back to life in Hocus Pocus! AMUCK! This cake was incredibly moist and the buttercream frosting is very light, which goes nicely with the texture of the cake. We’re fans The white chocolate ganache was a great addition as well — it added to the sweetness in just the right way! Would you try it? It’s not the wildest cake we’ve ever tried at Disney World, but it was pretty delightful, honestly. We’d get it again for a nice sweet treat, and it could easily be split with a friend. The Sanderson Sisters would love this…maybe Plus, just LOOK at the inside! It looks like candy corn, and who doesn’t want that around Halloween?! WOW! If you’re looking for something a bit more adventurous, maybe try something else. But if you like sweet vanilla cake with a fun design on the inside, then this is for you! Just like candy corn But, you might just want to watch your back for those witch sisters! So festive!

Did you know that Disney World is getting ready to celebrate yet ANOTHER anniversary? Spaceship Earth We’ve been in the midst of Magic Kingdom’s 50th Anniversary for quite some time now, but EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary is right around the corner. That’s right, EPCOT turns 40 on October 1st, and up until now Disney hasn’t shared much about what we can expect in terms of a celebration — but we did get a sneak peek at some new EPCOT 40th Anniversary merchandise! EPCOT’s 40th Anniversary kicks off on October 1st and while we don’t know many details about what the celebration might include, we did get a sneak peek at what the logo might look like for the celebration thanks to shopDisney!

Halloween is in full swing at both Disney World and Disneyland Resort. Halloween in Disneyland We’ve got Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party in Magic Kingdom, the Oogie Boogie Bash in Disney California Adventure, and toooons of treats sprinkled throughout both resorts. Now, we’re taking a look at some magic shots that have made their way to Disneyland Resort. That’s right, the Skeleton Dance magic shots were previously limited to Disney World, but now, Disneyland Resort guests can join in on the fun. But — there’s a catch. ©Disney DisneyPhotoPass took to Twitter to announce that 2 Halloween Magic Shots would materialize in Disneyland Resort — but only for Magic Key holders. Magic Keyholders in the resort can grab a magic shot with the Hatbox Ghost in Disneyland, or pose with some skeletons in Disney California Adventure. The magic shots will be available through October 31st.

If you haven’t been to Magic Kingdom in a minute, then there’s a lot to catch up on! Magic Kingdom The park is decorated for Halloween and is hosting Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party multiple times a week (which has now sold out, by the way!). Because of this, we’ve seen new Halloween merchandise and treats around the park. On top of that, there’s some considerable progress happening with the TRON coaster in Tomorrowland (we just found out that it opens in the spring!). But besides those things, there are some smaller merchandise and construction updates you might’ve missed, and we’ve rounded them all up for you. This is what’s new in Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Construction Updates Walt Disney World Railroad Let’s start out this update in Tomorrowland, across from the TRON coaster construction, where the track has been completed for the Walt Disney World Railroad! This section of train tracks was torn up to start the TRON construction, but after a few years, it has finally been put back together. It’s ready! Could this mean that we’re a step closer to having the classic attraction reopen? Well, we’ll have to wait and see but we’ve got our fingers crossed! Click Here for an Update on the TRON Construction! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates The Emporium We’ve got a long list of new merchandise from the past few days, so buckle up!
