What’s New in Magic Kingdom: A ‘Star Wars’ Santa Hat and Lots of Construction!

It’s a beautiful day, so let’s head to Magic Kingdom to see what’s new!

Cinderella Castle

We’ve seen a lot of changes here in the past few weeks: Christmas decorations, holiday cavalcades, new merchandise, and so many delicious snacks! Today we visited the park to see what we could add to that list, so let’s dive right in!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Tron Construction

We first headed over to check out the construction on Tron Lightcycle Run! Things seem to be moving along nicely with the ride track.

There’s been a lot of work going on over here lately, and it’s getting us really excited for this new coaster to be completed!

It’s a Small World

Walking through Fantasyland, we noticed that the colorful scrims were still up on “it’s a small world.”

The attraction is currently undergoing a small refurbishment, so we’re glad that Disney chose to make the construction walls bright and fun in this area!

Check out these “it’s a small world” musical nutcrackers!

Rivers of America

Another area of the park that’s under refurbishment is the Rivers of America. With all the water drained, we can currently see the Liberty Square Riverboat’s track.

With the water gone, the Liberty Square Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island are both unavailable, but they’ve added this cute sign to let guests know what’s going on!

We can’t wait to see the river full of water again!

Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Tomorrowland Light and Power Company

Over at Space Mountain’s gift shop, we spotted this Santa hat! It’s got a collage of Star Wars characters and symbols mixed with holiday graphics.

We previously spotted these in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort. Stop by Tomorrowland to pick one up for your favorite Jedi or Sith!
