Howdy from Magic Kingdom!
Isn’t she lovely?
We’ve had a few rainy days in the parks lately, but that’s okay — a rainy day in Disney World is better than a sunny day at home (in our opinion, at least!). There have been some big crowds though recently, and we’re not exactly sure why, since it’s technically the slow season in Disney World. But, we do like to keep up with what’s going on around the parks so you can stay updated, so let’s take a look at what’s new in Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom Food Updates
Main Street Confectionery
Over at the Confectionery, we spotted these new Dove Chocolate bars! They’re perfect as a little Valentine’s Day treat for $4.49.
Chocolateeee
We also found some other fun treats for the holiday, like this festive Mickey Rice Krispie treat…
YUM
…and this caramel apple!
Yes, please
Both are decorated with some pink, red, and white M&M’s.
Pinocchio Village Haus
If you’re looking for some classic theme park food that’s gluten free in Magic Kingdom, you’re in luck! There are now gluten-free chicken nuggets with fries over at Pinocchio Village Haus.
Gluten-Free people rejoice!
The nuggets were really good and crunchy and the fries are cooked in the same oil as the nuggets so there’s no cross-contamination. You can get these for $10.29.

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
Splash Mountain
Construction continues on Splash Mountain, so we thought we’d give you the latest look at the work!
Work work work work work
The ride is just undergoing routine maintenance right now, it’s not time for that The Princess and the Frog makeover yet.
A little bit of water on the track from the rain
We saw some scaffolding allll the way up at the top of the drop — yikes! That’s a little too high for us.
Ah!
The ride should be open again in mid-February, so we’ll keep you updated!
Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates
The Emporium
We found a new Hawkeye toy in The Emporium that features Clint in his purple suit with two different heads, some weapons, and (most importantly) Lucky the Pizza Dog!
Pizza Dog!!!
You can get them for $29.99.
We love Pizza Dog with our whole hearts
We saw a bunch of new jewelry in here last week, and now there’s another piece in the collection — these Cinderella bird earrings for $29.99.
Pretty!
There is also a new Jack Skellington shirt-jacket-hoodie combo! We actually have seen this in Disneyland, but it’s new to Magic Kingdom.
A jacket? A hooded shirt? Both?
You can get it for $64.99.

Star Traders
In Star Traders, we found this new deer and fawn vase set as part of the recent cozy collection.

Fantasy Faire
There are new snowmen ears that light up in Fantasy Faire. We saw these online previously, but they arrived a little late for the holiday season in Disney World!
It’s not too late for some holiday cheer, right?!
You can grab some for the next holiday season for $32.86.

Popcorn Buckets
A lot of popcorn buckets are back in stock around Magic Kingdom! We saw the 50th anniversary Mickey at the popcorn cart near the train station…
Mickey!
…and he was over at the cart in the Hub, along with Minnie and the gold Christmas tree buckets.
Spot them?
We found the Pink Mickey Balloon bucket in Frontierland…
It’s back!
