Magic Kingdom might be the smallest park at Disney World, but it has a LOT going on inside!

What a beauty

Fireworks, corn dog nuggets, pirates, princesses, and elephants, oh my! There’s something exciting around every corner, and Disney likes to keep us on our toes by adding new stuff all the time. So, come with us to check out what’s new in Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Splash Mountain

Construction walls are down now in front of Splash Mountain! We were able to see the freshly painted briar patch.

Then, a couple days later, we saw there was water added back to the ride!

We have water, people!

Splash Mountain is scheduled to reopen on February 11th, so it looks like the routine maintenance is finishing up.

Country Bear Jamboree

The stage in front of Country Bear Jamboree has had a bunch of greenery and props added to it.

What’s going on here?!

We’ll be on the lookout to see what the stage is used for!
