What’s New in Magic Kingdom: FastPass Kiosk CHANGES and Surprising Pins!

What’s a trip to Disney World without stopping in at the Magic Kingdom?

Magic Kingdom

We’ve made a few visits to Disney’s flagship park over the past few days and now we’re bringing you an update on everything NEW in construction and merchandise! Let’s dive in!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Transportation and Ticket Center

First up, let’s talk about construction! We noticed that the Ferry Boat from the Transportation and Ticket Center to Magic Kingdom was loading very similar to the way it loaded prior to the park closures. It was fairly crowded with no social distancing markers.

Ferry Boat

As a reminder, masks are not currently required on the Ferry but they are on other forms of transportation.

Ferry Boat

Various Locations

In the park, we spotted that there’s been some change with the Fastpass kiosks. Some are still covered but some have been uncovered. We spotted uncovered kiosks in Tomorrowland and by the Jungle Cruise.

Fastpass kiosks

The set of kiosks by Stitch’s Great Escape was uncovered…

…and one was on! We held up our MagicBand and it lit up and made that familiar “da-ding” noise, but nothing happened on the screen. What could it mean!?

Fastpass Kiosk

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

On Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, we spotted that plexiglass had been removed and distancing has been significantly reduced.

Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Uptown Jewelers

PHOTOS: See the Progress on TRON Lightcycle Run Ride Construction in Disney World!

Disney World’s got a lot of new things coming to the parks! Between all the 50th anniversary celebration things, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, Space 220, and more, the Imagineers have certainly been keeping busy!

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure is opening this October!

There’s one project, though, that seems to have taken a back-burner in Disney World.

TRON Lightcycle Run is under construction right now in Tomorrowland in Disney’s Magic Kingdom, but we haven’t heard many updates from Disney World about when it’s going to open! Originally, Disney was planning to open this for the 50th anniversary, which is October 1st, 2021, but the project has likely been delayed. 

TRON: Lightcycle Power Run is Coming to Disney World

TRON Lightcycle Run is an existing ride in Shanghai Disneyland, and it’s expected to be pretty similar in Disney World. The roller coaster uses panels on the outdoor portion to show different colored lights, and light plays a big role during the whole ride, both indoors and out.

TRON Lightcycle Run Vehicle

Guests will board the roller coaster vehicles the same way you would a motorcycle, so you’re leaning forward on the two-wheeled bikes during the ride, which gets up to 59 miles per hour!

TRON in Shanghai Disneyland

As far as when guests will be able to ride this exciting, fast coaster, there’s still not much info available. Disney World hasn’t commented recently on when the ride will open or what progress looks like inside, so all we can do is watch what’s going on outside! And we have been doing that, very carefully!

Support Beams on TRON

We’ve seen paneling go up on the inside portion of the ride, as well as the track and a huge canopy. We stopped by the site again today to get you an update on what’s going on!

TRON Construction Update Today!

It looks like there hasn’t been much change since our last update, but you can see the paneling on the building looks close to finished, and there’s a blue net-type thing going over the outdoor canopy!

It looks like there’s still a lot of work to do on the outdoor portion especially, so we’re interested to see when it’s able to open! Keep following DFB for updates and news on all things Disney!
