First Look at Renovation Plans of Magnolia Golf Course at Walt Disney World

Magnolia Golf Course

Starting May 9, 2022, Magnolia Golf Course at Walt Disney World will be closed for a major renovation. Scott Sanders with the Disney Cruise Line Blog shared a rough composite of the current course with the renovation plans layered on top.

Sanders based this composite on permits. It shows alterations to water and green locations. The redevelopment will be based around holes 14 through 17 and is due to nearby construction on World Drive.

Sanders also created this video of the composite:

What’s New in Disney’s Animal Kingdom: Souvenirs That…Don’t Belong Here?

This past week we celebrated Animal Kingdom‘s 24th birthday, and there were tons of fun additions in the park!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

The big highlights were special snacks and unique character meet and greets. But besides those special offerings, there was a lot of regular news happening in Animal Kingdom! Here’s everything you missed in the past few days.

Animal Kingdom Attractions Updates

Adventurer’s Outpost

As you may know, Disney World recently brought back regular character meet and greets, meaning that in many places, guests can now hug their favorite characters and get autographs once again! Since then, we’ve been watching for some previously closed meet and greet locations to reopen.

It’s still closed for now!

As of this week, Adventurer’s Outpost at Animal Kingdom is still closed. This location used to be home to a meet and greet with both Mickey AND Minnie (in their safari gear!) and we hope that it returns soon. We’ll be keeping a close watch!

Animal Kingdom Merchandise Updates

Zuri’s Sweets Shop

First up, we’re heading over to Africa to check out a new travel mug that arrived! This classic Mickey tumbler is perfect for keeping your morning coffee hot when you’re on the go.

Isn’t it cute?!

You can pick up the simple white design in Zuri’s Sweets Shop for $22.99. (And don’t forget to grab some treats while you’re there!)

Dino Institute

At the exit of DINOSAUR, we’re used to finding new Disney-themed tech gadgets like MagicBands and phone cases, but this week we spotted a new watch band! If you’ve got an AppleWatch, then you’ll definitely want to see this adorable new Winnie the Pooh design.

Okay, we need this NOW.

Right now, it’s available in the store for $34.99. It seems a little odd to find Winnie the Pooh items in the dino store, but we’re definitely not mad about it!

Island Mercantile

And speaking of merchandise that seems like it doesn’t belong, we have to mention a popular new item in Island Mercantile. Last week we celebrated the return of the Main Street Electrical Parade at Disneyland Park, and this year is also the parade’s 50th Anniversary! In honor of the occasion, Disney released a new line of parade anniversary merchandise, and we spotted the Loungefly backpack a few days ago.

It matches the ears!

We already shared details on the Minnie ears, but now you can have a bag to match! Get it for $75.

Ziwani Traders

Ziwani Traders is home to a wide variety of merchandise, and now they can add heart-shaped plants to the list! That’s right — a few days ago we spotted this heart-shaped succulent for sale.

How fun!

You can get one for $35.95, although we’re not sure how comfortable you’ll be carrying that around for the rest of the day. 😂

Windtraders

Can you believe it’s already the 5th Anniversary of the opening of Pandora — The World of Avatar? It snuck up on us! And if you want to celebrate, you can purchase one of two new shirt designs available in the land’s gift shop. First, there’s the Passholder shirt

The new Passholder exclusive design.

…and then there’s one for the everyday guest! Each of these shirts is available for $29.99.

We can’t believe it has been 5 years!

And if you’re hoping to celebrate on the official anniversary, then you’ll need to stop by Animal Kingdom on May 27th!

Discovery Trading Company

And finally, we’ve got some new items that we think pin traders will enjoy! First up, Discovery Trading Co. had a new Monsters, Inc. Arcade Pin available. We spotted it in the display case.

Another pin to add to your collection.

You can pick this one up for $29.99.

Shop ’til You’re Dizzy

Over in Dinoland, U.S.A. we found a new Donald Duck pin at the Shop ’til You’re Dizzy stand. It features an angry Donald (predictably!) and it’s $9.99.

A new Donald Duck pin.

If you’re looking for some simple and less expensive pins to trade, these merchandise stands around the park are a good place to start.

What’s New in Disney Springs: A $350 Hoodie and Olive Oil Ice Cream

Need a break from Disney parks but don’t want to spend all day lounging by the pool?

Disney Springs

One of our favorite things to do when we’re not running around testing our top Disney Genie tips and eating our way around EPCOT is hitting up Disney Springs. There are plenty of things to see, do, and EAT in Disney’s shopping and dining district, and we’re back again to bring you a look at what’s NEW in Disney Springs! Let’s see what’s changed since our last visit.

Disney Springs Food Updates

Salt & Straw

The day we’ve been waiting for has finally arrived, because Salt & Straw has finally opened in Disney Springs!

Salt & Straw is OPEN!

We checked out the opening day flavors, and to say we were impressed is an understatement. If you like unique and new flavors, this is the place for you. We found flavors like Arbequina Olive Oil, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, and Chocolate Gooey Brownie, just to name a few. There’s even a flavor with a backstory about a Llama astronaut!

Don’t worry, though, there are traditional ice cream flavors here, too!

Starbucks (West Side)

There are new energy drinks available at Starbucks! We spotted these at the West Side location. We tried the Mango Guava Baya Energy Drink for $3.25.

We thought the drink was a little sweet but overall enjoyed it.

Need a gift for someone but don’t quite know what to get? Disney gift cards are a great option! We found a new design on a recent trip to Disney Style.

Say “Happy Birthday” with the help of Mickey Mouse!

Ever After Jewelry Co.

The new Coach collection is here, and the Red Coach Sweatshirt has arrived at Ever After Jewelry Co.

We love the retro vibes!

It can be yours — if you’re willing to spend $350! Most of the items in this designer 50th Anniversary collection are pretty expensive, but if you’re interested in checking them out, you can also find the collection online.

World of Disney

Show your love of Disney with this Tie Dye Mickey Mouse Hoodie for $44.99. It’s super soft, and the bright colors are serving serious summer vibes.

This sweatshirt is pretty groovy, man.

Cozy up with the Marvel Sweatpants on your next superhero movie night! The black, red, and grey design can be paired with almost anything. Take them home for $49.99.

Even heroes wear sweatpants.

Why not get some Marvel merchandise for the whole family? The Kids’ Marvel Hoodie is $44.99.

Marvel youth hoodie

Celebrate Disney World’s 50th Anniversary with the new Gold Castle ’71 T-Shirt for adults. It features our main mouse in front of Cinderella Castle and is $36.99.

We love the golden castle detail.
