Bloggers Sarah and Tom Bricker are passionate about all things Disney and were more than a little heartbroken by news this week that the company is laying off 28,000 workers. So the Orange County couple — who run the popular DisneyTouristBlog.com — created a virtual fundraising drive for Second Harvest Food Bank to help feed the newly unemployed. They figured they'd raise maybe $2,000. Instead, the fund is at $34,000 and climbing. View the full article

While some of us may have a pretty expansive collection of Minnie Ears, Star Wars fans might have a growing stock of lightsabers for BOTH the Light and the Dark Sides. Star Wars Trading Post Although you can head to places like Savi’s Workshop in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to build your own lightsaber, other places in Batuu like Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities feature Legacy Lightsabers instead. These non-customizable lightsabers allows guests to become one with the Force carrying around the sabers of heroes and villains like Kylo Ren, Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker, Mace Windu and more! However, you don’t have to go all the way to the Black Spire Outpost to pick up a Legacy Lightsaber with your credits. While Disneyland’s Downtown Disney has received them at their version of the Star Wars Trading Post, Padawans and Jedis alike can head to the Star Wars Trading Post in Disney Springs to pick them up too! Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post The Star Wars Trading Post recently introduced Galaxy’s Edge merchandise outside of the parks in Disney World, so more guests have the opportunity to get their favorite items. Along with previous Legacy Lightsabers we’ve seen before, the Reforged Skywalker Lightsaber and Ahsoka Tano’s dual color Star Wars: The Clone Wars Lightsaber Hilt are also available in Disney Springs (Ahsoka’s saber is the FIRST Legacy Lightsaber to actually change colors!). Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post After guests choose which hilt they’d like, a Cast Member will make sure that the Kyber crystal inside is working to its full ability (even if you choose to be a part of the Dark Side ). Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post The Legacy Lightsabers can range from $129.99 to $199.99, depending on which character’s saber you choose to take home with you. In comparison, a lightsaber from Savi’s Workshop costs $199.99 with the full experience of customizing and building a saber in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post After seeing all the Legacy Lightsabers out of the parks, we feel like the Force might be calling us to choose yet another to add to our collection (should we go Light Side or Dark Side this time??). As you start planning your next vacation to Disney World, be sure to let us know your questions so we can help you find the answers you need to know!

The Dooney & Bourke Mickey Mouse EPCOT Food and Wine Festival MagicBand even has adorable packaging! Dooney & Bourke Mickey Mouse EPCOT Food and Wine MagicBand But it’s inside that counts, right? This is a pretty cream-colored MagicBand with gray accents. Dooney & Bourke Mickey Mouse EPCOT Food and Wine MagicBand On one side, Minnie is cooking up some delicious treats! This dessert looks SUPER YUMMY. Dooney & Bourke Mickey Mouse EPCOT Food and Wine MagicBand On the other side, it looks like Mickey is putting the final touches on a dish. We love the little salt and pepper artwork! We found this MagicBand at Mouse Gear in EPCOT for $48.

It’s Halloween, which means it’s time for spooky decorations and Disney villains! And we’re seeing them everywhere right now: in Disney World character cavalcades, on fans, and even on stickers! The Evil Queen It’s good to be bad! And no one is more bad (or should we say evil?) than the Evil Queen! And we just got a sneak peek at a new bag that has Evil Queen ALL OVER IT. The Danielle Nicole Evil Queen Story Book Crossbody Bag will launch on October 5th. And it is a thing of WICKED BEAUTY. It features the Evil Queen’s castle on the front, along with the heart lock detail from the box she thinks holds Snow White’s heart. Danielle Nicole Evil Queen Story Book Crossbody Bag ©Danielle Nicole But release the lock, and the front opens up to show three scenes from Snow White and The Seven Dwarves! We see the Evil Queen with her apple, along with her dipping the apple in poison! And finally, we see her disguised as the Old Hag who offers the apple to Snow White. Danielle Nicole Evil Queen Story Book Crossbody Bag ©Danielle Nicole We love all the wonderful details of this bag! The whole thing is just SO VILLAINOUS. This bag will release on the official Danielle Nicole website on October 5th. We’ll be sure to keep an eye out for more amazing villains stuff, too!

Round 3 Results Seriously, how can you resist all that ice cream piled on top of warm FALL-FLAVORED Mickey Waffles?! Pumpkin-spiced Mickey Waffle Sundae We were down to a hard decision between the Graveyard Tiramisu from The Market at Ale & Compass and the Beach Club Marketplace… Tiramisu …or the Spooky Mickey Brownie from Roaring Fork. But, it looks like we’ve got some cake fans out there… Spooky Mickey Brownie …because the tiramisu reigned supreme once again! Round 3 Results Our FINAL choice was such a close call with the Black Flame Candle Cake from Amorette’s Patisserie up against the Poison Candied Apple from Trolley Car Cafe. And, we were SHOCKED to see the final apple treat disappear, losing 46% to 54% of your votes! Round 3 Results Even though we’ll still be daydreaming about all that sweet and spicy goodness with the apple and caramel mousse… Poison Candied Apple …it looks like the Sanderson Sisters have cast a spell over our readers with its chiffon cake and cookies and cream mousse.

Recently, the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra announced that it would be playing its last shows on October 3rd in Disney World. The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends After the show was halted at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, members of the orchestra were moved over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to perform as the Disney Society Orchestra, with characters making an appearance during their set list. However, today’s the day that the orchestra played its last tunes together at the Theater of the Stars for fans to enjoy. Since we’ve grown to love them over the 32 years, we made sure to listen to the music and experience the magic of the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra one last time. Disney Society Orchestra We settled in for an amazing show, since the Grand Floridian Orchestra plays with such expertise and ease at the same time. Disney Society Orchestra We jammed out to the Cantina Band’s song from Star Wars (dancing in our seats, of course)… The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra finished their set and let all their listeners know that they’ve loved playing for them for so long. And, we are so thankful for each song we’ve gotten to hear over the years. Thank you for the magic, friends! Disney Society Orchestra As Disney continues to make changes in the parks’ entertainment and performances, we’ll make sure to update you on everything you need to know.

Hello, everyone! We’ve been walking around Disney Springs to see if anything new has popped up since our last visit. Disney Springs Join us as we bring you the latest updates for food, merchandise, and MORE! Disney Springs Food Updates Ghiradelli We looove chocolate, so we think the PERFECT Halloween gift involves a lot of chocolate! Luckily for us, Ghirardelli is selling Halloween treat bags! You can choose from a variety of wonderfully spooky plush gift bags and fill them with Ghirardelli squares for $25 (approximately 40 squares). Ghirardelli Treat Bags Although we’ve tried several spooky Starbucks frappuccinos, it was the Wolfman Frappuccino that left us HOWLING for more! The drink is a java chip frappuccino with an espresso shot topped with strawberry puree. The Wolfman Halloween Drink from Starbucks Available for $8.15 for a grande, this frappuccino was one of the best Starbucks specialty drinks we think we’ve ever had! Check out more photos of Starbucks’ Wolfman Drink! The Polite Pig We couldn’t QUITE say the same about The Polite Pig’s Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream, which is a frozen coffee with bourbon and chocolate drizzle. Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream The $11 drink was VERY strong (LOADS of bourbon), and is definitely a great choice for coffee lovers! Read our review of the Frozen Coffee Bourbon Cream Eric McKenna’s Bakery NYC We stopped by Eric McKenna’s Bakery NYC to see what’s new and, lo and behold, we discovered Pumpkin Crumb Cake. Pumpkin Crumb Cake We are all about the pumpkin right now, so thought this was an exciting addition to the bakery’s assortment. Vivoli il Gelato It might be fall, but it’s still pretty warm in Florida, and gelato is the kind of thing that just hits the spot! We noticed that Vivoli il Gelato had a few new seasonal treats: a Pumpkin Mudslide (we noticed this one last month), a S’mores Pumpkin Cookie Sandwich (WHAT?!?), and a Jack ‘O Lantern Float! YUM!! Vivoli il Gelato Halloween Treats Disney Springs Merchandise Updates World of Disney World of Disney is the spot for new Disney merch in Disney World! We’re always finding new collectibles, like this Coco Hector ToyBox Toy for $14.99. While Miguel also has a toy, he wasn’t available at the time! Coco Hector ToyBox Toy Well, well, well, what have we here? It’s an OOGIE BOOGIE HAT! We’re going to just roll the dice on this one because it’s on sale for $15 for a limited time! Oogie Boogie Hat What’s this? We could not take our eyes off this awesome Jack Skellington Denim Jacket. Jack Skellington Denim Jacket The jacket, which costs $79.99 has little Jack faces all over it with embroidered patches. Marketplace Co-Op We found some super cute magnets at Marketplace Co-Op. The Tiana Magnet says, “Just One Kiss”, but we know there was a lot more of an advnture involved before she got her prince! Tiana magnet It’s almost Halloween, so we love this Walt Disney World Halloween Magnet. Just check out this cute little Halloween illustrations that make up the letters! Walt Disney World Halloween Magnet We also spotted some Halloween magnets at Disney Springs to that we have also seen at EPCOT. Check out this Mickey Jack ‘O Lantern Magnet! Spoopy (that’s cute spooky!!)! Halloween Magnet This Trick AND Treat Magnet gives us the best of both worlds for Halloween! Trick and Treat Magnet These magnets are $14.99 each. Lovepop Although Lovepop was once just a kiosk at Disney Springs, it now has a standalone store location! We stopped by to check it out when it opened. If you haven’t been there yet, you need to see all their amazing pop-up cards! Lovepop Store at Disney Springs You can find Lovepop in the Town Center, between Ron Jon Surf Shop and Superdry. See more photos of the new Lovepop Store! Star Wars Trading Post We’ve loved seeing all the awesome Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge merch making its way to Disney Springs. Now, Star Wars Trading Post also has the Legacy Lightsabers that Dok-Ondar’s Den of Antiquities usually carries. Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post These aren’t like the customizable sabers you get from Savi’s Workshop, though. These ones are replicas of the lightsabers of specific characters in the Star Wars universe. Legacy Lightsabers at Star Wars Trading Post So if you’ve been wanting to wield Ahsoka Tano’s lightsaber, now you can! Learn more about the Legacy Lightsabers here Coca-Cola Store We also stopped by the Coca-Cola Store to check out their latest merch! This time around, we spotted a Loungefly Coca-Cola Wallet for $20. Loungefly Coca-Cola Wallet We also spotted this super adorable Loungefly Coca-Cola Crossbody Bag for $65.

Who’s ready to take a trip to Magic Kingdom?? Cinderella Castle Things are constantly changing in the Disney World parks! So we headed out to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new since our last visit. Here are all the latest food, construction, and merchandise updates from Magic Kingdom! Magic Kingdom Food Update Adventureland Spring Roll Cart Let’s kick things off with some SUPER exciting news. On our latest visit, we noticed that the spring roll cart near the entrance to Adventureland is finally reopened! Spring Roll Cart at Magic Kingdom We’ve been craving this delicious snack for soooo long, so we had to grab some spring rolls for ourselves! When we stopped by, the cart had both Cheeseburger Spring Rolls and Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls available. Spring Rolls from Magic Kingdom Three cheers for the return of one of our favorite Magic Kingdom snacks! Click here for more information about the newly reopened spring roll cart! Friar’s Nook While we’re on the subject of exciting developments, ANOTHER one of our go-to snack spots has also reopened. That’s right, Friar’s Nook in Fantasyland is now reopened as well! Friar’s Nook And of course, we had to stop by to snag some of those Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tater Bites to celebrate! Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tots We were super excited to see several of our favorite snacks make their triumphant return to Magic Kingdom! Click here to read more about our experience at the newly reopened Friar’s Nook! Magic Kingdom Construction Update Entrance Our first construction update came from before we even entered the park. Earlier this week, we noticed that the Magic Kingdom entry sign was under construction. It turns out, this sign is getting a paint job! Magic Kingdom Entry Sign Construction The sign is being painted a dark blue color with gold accents! Here’s a Closer Look at the Paint Job! We’ll continue to keep an eye on the progress as it moves along, so stay tuned to see the finished product! Check out more photos of the entry sign’s makeover! Main Street, U.S.A. We’ve also got several construction updates from inside the park! Let’s start on Main Street, U.S.A. The construction walls near Casey’s Corner are finally down, which has us hoping that Corn Dog Nuggets could be back soon! Construction Walls are Down Near Casey’s Corner However, entrances to the quick-service location are still blocked off for the time being… Closed Off Section …but there is open access to the First Aid station next door. First Aid “it’s a small world” When Magic Kingdom opened back in July, construction walls surrounded the queue for “it’s a small world” as distancing markers and partitions were put in place. Even though those construction walls were taken down pretty soon after the park’s re-opening, there are NEW construction walls back up at the entrance of “it’s a small world!” Construction Walls at “it’s a small world” While the construction walls extend into Fantasyland, guests can still enter the queue to the attraction. We’re not entirely sure what is being fixed at “it’s a small world,” but a permit has been placed to “remove and reinstall graphics” that we’ll keep an eye on! Construction Walls Here’s everything you need to know about the “it’s a small world” construction! TRON Coaster Meanwhile, the TRON Coaster has continued to make progress in Tomorrowland (and we can’t help but get more hyped every time we see it)! TRON Construction Recently, the first canopy piece was installed over at the attraction as the indoor and outdoor sections of the coaster are built. TRON Construction When the attraction opens, guests will be able to travel through the Grid before blasting off on a high-speed ride on the TRON Coaster’s curving track! Right now, Disney is aiming for a 2021 debut, but we’ll continue to keep you updated on the attraction’s progress. TRON Construction Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update Emporium We might have been obsessed with the new Disney Dogs Dooney and Bourke collection, but everybody wants to be a cat, you know! And, while you’re at home watching Disney+ with your feline friends, you can sip on Fall drinks in the Marie Mug… Marie Mug from the Emporium …that features Marie’s adorable pink bow as the handle for $19.99! Marie Mug from the Emporium Take a look at all the details on the Marie Mug here! But, you can also enjoy your own DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte as you chill out with the Disney Princess Mug, featuring all our favorite heroines! Princess Mug You can spot favorites such as Moana, Ariel, and Cinderella… Princess Mug …along with Tiana, Belle, and even Merida in a colorful design on the mug surrounding Cinderella Castle! Princess Mug The inside of the Disney Princess Mug is a gorgeous pink like Aurora’s gown with the saying “Fierce, bold, strong” to remind you just how amazing you are for $14.99. Princess Mug While they’re not new, we felt like the Haunted Mansion Gift Cards that you can find in stores are also a great way to purchase the mugs or all the Halloween merchandise around the parks.

We’re 100% willing to wait in line for life-changing cookies. Triple Chocolate Cookie Which is why we were psyched to discover that one of our FAVORITE cookie shops is testing out a new line management system to make waiting that much easier, and safer! We’ve been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new Disney Springs location for Gideon’s Bakehouse ever since the Orlando cookie shop announced it would be coming to Disney World. Gideon’s Bakehouse And while we wait, it seems the owners are testing out a virtual queue format for their Orlando location. The company shared the news of testing out a virtual queue on their Instagram, writing that they’ll be “testing out a line management program.” ©Gideon’s Bakehouse Instagram This morning, we headed to the original Gideon’s at Orlando’s East End Market to test it out! Cookie-craving customers were able to add their name and number to a virtual queue and hang out at the market instead of standing in line. When it was our turn, we were sent a second text letting us know where to return. Once added, the queue shows your place in line, along with an estimated wait time. For us, 30 minutes is a piece of cake. Or should we say, Frankenstein Cake! Gideon’s Bakehouse When the wait is over, you simply mosey over to the bakery’s side entrance, and voila! It’s cookie o’clock! Gideon’s Bakehouse Compared to the typically cramped lines at this uber-popular bakery, a virtual format like this is an exciting change! We’ll be curious to see how things operate once the Disney Springs location arrives, and if they will be implementing this same process! The cookie shop coming to Disney Springs has a surprisingly mysterious backstory! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox! Click here to Subscribe!

Since the parks reopened, the lower capacity for Disney World has also brought shorter than normal wait times. Statue of Miss Piggy While Disney’s Hollywood Studios has seen some longer than normal wait times, there was one surprising attraction at the park today with a higher than average line! This loooooong line at Disney World is surely for Smugglers Run or Slinky Dog Dash, right? Nah, it’s just the Muppets! Once again, today’s surprisingly long wait time at Hollywood Studios is a friendly reminder that the Muppets will NEVER go out of style! For being a standby attraction at Hollywood Studios, Muppet*Vision 3D has impressive staying power! Muppet*Vision 3D While we have seen a somewhat longer than average wait time at this attraction on the weekends before, most of the time, the zany theater show is a BREEZE to get into. Today was one of those times, as the quoted wait time was a whopping 40 minutes! Muppet*Vision 3D Now, compared to some of the buzzier rides around Disney World, 40 minutes may not seem TOO crazy, but considering how classic this attraction is (and how easy the line usually is!), we gotta give it up for the Muppets! They really know how to draw a crowd! Time and again, Muppet*Vision 3D proves that it’s hard to resist a good Muppets show! Also, the AC sure feels nice!

Some of us are old enough to remember when Disney didn’t own Star Wars, but we have to admit it’s fun seeing Star Wars all over Disney World now, and we LOVE the attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge! Star Wars Resistance Clothing Of course, there’s no shortage of Star Wars merch in the parks, too! And we just found a pair of lounge shorts that will bring the Force to the lower half of your body! We spotted these Men’s Star Wars Lounge Shorts at Tattooine Traders in Disney’s Hollywood Studios for $24.99.

Several attractions in Disney’s Hollywood Studios have received new distancing stickers for their queues — including an attraction that is currently closed! Voyage of the Little Mermaid Upcoming changes to the operating hours at several quick service locations aren’t the only updates we noticed at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Today, we spotted new distancing stickers in the queues for two of the park’s attractions! While walking past Voyage of The Little Mermaid, we spotted an interesting addition to this attraction’s queue. While the show has not been operating since the park reopened, we noticed that there are now social distancing markers in the queue for the attraction. Voyage of The Little Mermaid Queue We spoke with a Cast Member who confirmed that the distancing markers were added last night. Distancing Markers This attraction still has not received a reopening date, but we’ll continue to keep an eye out for any announcements from Disney! Distancing Markers And Voyage of The Little Mermaid wasn’t the only attraction with new distancing markers outside the queue. Additional markers have also been added for the Slinky Dog Dash queue, and they stretch all the way back to Animation Courtyard! New Distancing Markers for Slinky Dog Dash These markers were also added last night. The Cast Member told us that they were needed this morning when the line for Slinky Dog Dash was at its longest, so these new markers are already getting some use! New Slinky Dog Dash Distancing Markers Later today, we’ll be checking out the final performance of the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra so stay tuned for more coverage from Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

We’re big fans of “man’s best friend,” here at DFB, especially if that friend is a Disney dog! From Pluto to Dug to Lady and the Tramp, Disney dogs are some of our favorite characters! It’s Pluto! That’s why we got really excited when we caught wind of the Dooney and Bourke Disney Dogs collection earlier this year. We seriously just can’t with ALL the Disney dogs included in this line. We spot favorites like Dug, Pluto, and more, but the obscure doggers get a spotlight too! Nana, Zero, Frankenweenie (!!), and even the Footstool from Beauty and the Beast are there!! Even Stitch made the cut (well, he WAS pretending to be a dog!). Now, we’ve only seen the collection online (and it didn’t last long) back in March, but we just spotted this collection at Disney World! We found these bags at Legends of Hollywood at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. According to a Cast Member we spoke with, this line was new in-store today! Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Collection That’s right! You can get these bags at Disney World, but you better hurry, because they were QUITE popular! This Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Wallet was one of the first items we saw sell out (but you might want to check back with the store later because you never know when they’ll add stock!). It’s $158. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Wallet We also spotted the Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Crossbody Bag for $228. There were still several of these available. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Crossbody Bag The Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Mini Backpack for $268 was also in stock, but only a few were left when we were there. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Backpack The Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Tote was also going fast — only a few left of these, too. The tote is $268. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch Tote Finally, we saw the Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch MagicBand for $58. This is a limited release MagicBand, so if you want one, GET IT NOW. Dooney & Bourke Disney Dogs Sketch MagicBand If you’re looking to add any of these items to your Dooney collection, we’re going to recommend you run to Hollywood Studios as fast as your two (or four) legs can carry you! In case they’re all gone by the time you get there, though, we also spotted plenty of the Dooney & Bourke Tres Chic bags at the store! Dooney & Bourke Tres Chic Collection We’ll keep an eye out for any other Dooneys we find in the parks and keep you updated!

You know what they say: the early bird catches the Ronto Wrap! Hollywood Studios in October At least, that’s what you’ll be saying now that a couple quick service restaurants at Disney’s Hollywood Studios have scaled back their hours. Disney World released details on operating hours for the parks through December 19, and Hollywood Studios continues to close early-ish, at 7PM. Hollywood Studios Entrance Along with these reduced hours comes fewer dining options in the evenings…at least if you’re craving a Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli or a pork sausage cooked over a podracer engine! PizzeRizzo Two of the park’s popular quick service picks, PizzeRizzo and Ronto Roasters, have cut back hours, which means dinner options are increasingly confined to sit-down restaurants — not that we have any qualms with cocktails and Cobb Salad at The Hollywood Brown Derby! Ronto Roasters Starting October 4, PizzeRizzo closes at 5PM (previously 6:30PM), while last call for Ronto Wraps and Coruscant Coolers in Galaxy’s Edge is 3PM (WAY down from its previous close at 8PM!). Interestingly, while these counter-service spots are closing earlier, Backlot Express is actually EXTENDING its hours one hour longer until 5PM! This is great news because that means you’ve got an extra hour to snag a Box of Bones Eclair! Box of Bones The times, they are a-changin’! So make sure not to miss out on good eats!

Disney World is always changing, evolving, and growing — even more so lately due to the global health crisis. Although we’ve seen some of our favorite attractions and entertainment returning, some are going away forever. The Disney Society Orchestra and Friends Live entertainment has also changed throughout the Disney World resort, and we recently learned we’ll soon have to say goodbye to Disney’s Grand Floridian Society Orchestra. The Grand Floridian Society Orchestra has been playing at the parks for 32 years, both at the Grand Floridian Resort and Spa and at Disney’s Hollywood Studios as members of The Disney Society Orchestra. However, the orchestra will be playing their final show today, October 3rd. Grand Floridian Society Orchestra However, you don’t have to go to Disney World to catch the final performance of the Grand Floridian Society Orchestra. The talented group of musicians will livestream their final two performances today. The first is at 2:30PM EST and can be watched live on Facebook. The second is at 6PM EST and can be viewed live on YouTube below: The orchestra has been a staple at Disney World for a long time, and we would like to thank them for bringing their magical music to the Disney experience for so so long. We’ll be tuning in today to bid farewell to these wonderful musicians. We’re consistently paying attention to all the changes currently happening with entertainment at Disney World, so stay tuned for updates.

One of the most popular attractions in Magic Kingdom experienced some technical difficulties this morning. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Queue We’ve been keeping a close eye on the construction around Magic Kingdom lately, including work on the new TRON Lightcycle Run coaster, construction walls outside “it’s a small world”, and updates to the Magic Kingdom entrance sign. But today, there was an unexpected interruption on one of the park’s attractions. Since the reopening, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train has remained one of the most popular attractions in Magic Kingdom with a wait time that is regularly among the longest in the park. But this morning, the ride is experiencing some unexpected downtime. Kelly McCrary shared photos with us on Instagram that show the attraction stopped on the tracks. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train Later, a Cast Member made their way onto the tracks and the guests were evacuated from the ride. Guests Were Later Evacuated from the Ride As of 10:30AM ET, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is still listed as temporarily closed on My Disney Experience.

We’ve seen quite a few construction walls around Disney World lately! Construction Walls From the major EPCOT transformation to Magic Kingdom entrance sign, there are quite a few projects happening in Disney World at the moment. And on our latest visit to Magic Kingdom, we spotted some MASSIVE construction walls surrounding one of the park’s iconic attractions! When Magic Kingdom first reopened, there were construction walls surrounding the queue of “it’s a small world.” And while those walls have since come down, there are now more construction walls surrounding the ride’s entrance — and they’re quite imposing! Construction Walls at “it’s a small world” The construction walls extend across the front of the attraction, which definitely shakes up the aesthetics of this section of Fantasyland! Construction Walls The ride is still operating and we’re not exactly sure what’s being done behind the scenes — although we did recently spot a permit to “remove and reinstall graphics” at the attraction! We’ll continue to keep an eye on “it’s a small world” on our future visits to Magic Kingdom, so stay tuned for more updates! Here’s what’s new in Magic Kingdom!

California theme parks, including Disneyland Resort, are still at odds with the state as it continues to work out reopening guidelines. Disneyland Gate The reopening of California theme parks is dependent on the release of guidelines from the state. Disney has been pushing for this guidance, which was originally expected this week before the state announced it would be postponed pending further input from experts. Disney officials had expressed concern over some of the guidelines in the state’s initial plans, and Anaheim Mayor Harry Sidhu said theme parks need “attainable guidelines” that allow them to safely reopen soon and get people back to work. And information shared by The Orange County Register sheds more light on the specifics surrounding the state’s initial draft of reopening guidelines. The state’s initial draft reportedly stipulates that individual theme parks can reopen only once their county reaches the least-restrictive “minimal” risk level, they must operate at 25% of attendance capacity, and limit visitors to residents living within a 120-mile radius of each theme park. Sleeping Beauty Castle These guidelines present two challenges for theme parks. First, placing theme parks in the final tier of the Blueprint for a Safer Economy means the severity of the guidelines never change until the pandemic ends. And second, reaching the least-restrictive “minimal” tier could be difficult to nearly impossible for California’s most-populous counties. Disney California Adventure Park This means that the initial guidelines would likely prevent California theme parks from reopening for weeks or months. Theme parks located in counties at the “substantial” level — including Disneyland Resort — won’t be able to reach the least-restrictive “minimal” level for at least three to six weeks. Disneyland Under the draft guideline proposal, California theme parks would not be able to reopen until late October or November at the earliest. And if a best-case scenario is not reached, reopening dates could be pushed to December or next year. Which would make setting a reopening date for the theme parks very difficult under the current drafted guidelines.
