Disney4me Posted December 31, 2019 Report Posted December 31, 2019 Hey, everybody! It’s time for another roundup of What’s New in Magic Kingdom! Crowded Magic Kingdom Believe it or not, a bunch of stuff has been happening at the Magic Kingdom since our last visit (where we watched the Once Upon a Christmastime Parade WITHOUT a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party ticket)! Let’s head there now and see what new construction, food, and merchandise we can spot! The word of the day is…CROWDED! Say it with us! That may come as no surprise to you savvy Disney World folks who know this is usually one the BUSIEST times to visit Disney World, but we thought we’d treat you, folks, at home to some of the madness we witnessed yesterday! Just look at the FastPass line for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin — yup, we said FASTPASS line! It stretches almost all the way to the Tomorrowland sign! Crowded Magic Kingdom Standby wait times were around 180 minutes mid-day for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train… By our calculations, that’s 3 hours! Crowded Magic Kingdom And the standby line for the Haunted Mansion went allllll the way back to the Liberty Square Ferryboat dock! Crowded Magic Kingdom For us, it takes a devoted soul and nerves of steel to wait any longer than 20 minutes for “it’s a small world”, but there were quite a few takers for the classic Disney attraction yesterday! Crowded Magic Kingdom Now that we’ve set the mood, let’s get on with our discovery! Food Update at Magic Kingdom Liberty Square If the throngs of people everywhere weren’t a dead giveaway, you really know it’s a busy day at the Magic Kingdom when Disney deploys its secret crowded day weapon — the Turkey Leg Cart in Liberty Square! Liberty Square Turkey Leg Cart Hey, at least all those park guests in line for the Haunted Mansion had something delicious to gnaw on! Can we just climb in here and eat our way to the bottom of this tasty-looking pile ‘o turkey legs? Liberty Square Turkey Leg Cart Construction Update at Magic Kingdom TRON Coaster We shuffled our way over to Tomorrowland to see how the TRON: Lightcycle Run construction is progressing! TRON Construction The ride’s show building is definitely coming along! TRON Construction And even though we’ll be celebrating the New Year tonight, we won’t be zipping around on TRON: Lightcycle Run until sometime in 2021! TRON Construction We’ll be really looking forward to checking it out, though when it does finally open, hopefully in time for Disney World’s 50th anniversary — as projected! Read about 50 memories you should make before Disney World’s 50th-anniversary celebration here! Merchandise Update at Magic Kingdom Now, we’re making our way very slowly over to The Emporium! The Emporium The Emporium Check out this adorable new Dory Hat for $27.99 we spotted! It’s so sparkly and says “I’m Having a Dory Moment”! This would be perfect for when we forget which Magic Kingdom lot we parked in. So true, so true! Dory Hat And the back of the hat has a nifty coral reef design! Pretty darn cute! Dory Hat For the kiddos, we spotted this jawesome Bruce Youth Hat for $24.99! Bruce Youth Hat Check out the brim on this thing! It’s like some sort of blue see-through plastic! Bruce Youth Hat And we can’t wait to blow out our candles wearing this new Best Birthday Ever Mickey Ears Hat for $24.99! Birthday Mickey Ears Hat Read more about the new Best Birthday Ever Mickey Ears Hat here! We also spotted a ton of adorable new Phone Cases yesterday — including this rather grumpy-looking Mickey Mouse Phone Case for $29.99. Mickey Mouse Phone Case While Mickey seems to be having a mood, our girlie Minnie seems to be her normal, bubbly self! Check out the new Minnie Mouse Phone Case for $29.99! Minnie Mouse Phone Case This Monster’s Inc. Boo’s Door Phone Case for $29.99 also caught our eye! Monster’s Inc. Boo’s Door Phone Case And this Maleficent Phone Case for $29.99 almost had us under her spell! Maleficent Phone Case Find out more about the new Phone Cases we spotted at The Emporium here! Anyone up for a round of canasta? Scope out these new “Park Life” Playing Cards we spotted for $12.99! “Park Life” Playing Cards The deck features the same Disney park icons we’ve seen throughout this cute new collection of merch! “Park Life” Playing Cards See the rest of the “Park Life” Disney line here! Disney Youth Tees seem to be having a Renaissance moment at the parks right now. We spotted two more we wish we could squeeze our ample adult bodies into including this Raised by Wolves Youth Shirt for $19.99… Raised by Wolves Youth Shirt …and this sweet Chill Duuude Youth Shirt for $19.99! Chill Duuude Youth Shirt Uptown Jewelers We already shared with you the fantastic new Fantasia Jewelry Collection we spotted earlier, but it warrants another mention! We’re in love with its vintage style — very reminiscent of some of the old cloisonne pieces we played dress-up with from our grandma’s jewelry box when we were kids! Fantasia Necklace See the entire collection of Fantasia-inspired jewelry here! The Main Street Confectionery We spotted the same sweet deal on Holiday Mickey and Minnie Gummies that we saw earlier on our trip around the Magic Kingdom monorail resorts! It’s a buy 2 situation where the candies only cost $5 each instead of $8.99! Holiday Mickey and Minnie Gummies We also discovered this gorgeous cookbook called Delicious Disney for $34.99! Delicious Disney It’s full of magical recipes and memories from the Disney parks and Disney Cruise Line! Ah, hello perfect Disney Foodie love gift! Delicious Disney Allow us to rifle through the pages just a bit to tantalize your tastebuds! The photos in this book are so pretty and all the dishes look sooooo good! Delicious Disney And check out this stunning photograph of Be Our Guest Restaurant! It looks so regal…so majestic…so… EMPTY! That’s a sight for sore eyes on such a crowded day like today! Delicious Disney Well, friends, that’s it for this edition of What’s New in Magic Kingdom — until next time!
