Royal Greetings from Magic Kingdom! It is a holiday weekend, and we expect the parks to be crowded today. As always, we will be on the hunt for all the new things we can find. We also plan on checking on the TRON Lightcycle / Run construction. Let’s get started.

We noticed crowds this morning as soon as we entered Magic Kingdom.

In the Emporium, we spotted an Olaf Cuddleez. He was so cute and soft; we wanted to give him a big warm hug!

The Walt Disney World pink polka dot Starbucks tumbler was in stock in the Emporium and flying off the shelves.

A Jack Skellington T-shirt is available in the Emporium. This 3D design matches the Nightmare Before Christmas collection.

A new stoneware black mug featuring Ursula is now available in the Emporium. This mug reads, “A Lovely Mess,” under Ursula’s hair. This mug was previously available in Disneyland.

Holiday merchandise is starting to arrive in Walt Disney World. We spotted the new Mickey Mouse Holiday plaid spirit jersey in the Emporium. The back of the spirit jersey features the Walt Disney World logo.

Disney Munchlings displays have been added to the shops in Magic Kingdom. We found these displays in the Emporium and Curtain Call Collectibles. Guests can now see what is inside the Disney Munchlings mystery boxes.

In case you missed it, the Fab 50 Statues are making Halloween sounds when you interact with your MagicBand+.

Let’s take a ride on the PeopleMover to see if we can find any new TRON Lightcycle / Run updates.

New signage has been added to the entrance of TRON Lightcycle / Run.

We noticed more train tracks have been assembled by TRON Lightcycle / Run.

In Star Traders, more Color Me Courtney merchandise has arrived. We spotted this Tiana shoulder bag by Color Me Courtney. The bag is inspired by “The Princess and the Frog” and is covered in an all-over floral design.

There was a Tiana Color Me Courtney travel mug available in Star Traders. This mug is also inspired by “The Princess and the Frog,” and features Tiana artwork on both sides.

The crowds were starting to pick up as the day went on. Along with the crowds came higher wait times.

The new glow in the dark Haunted Mansion Loungefly backpack has materialized in Memento Mori.

Thanks for following along with our day!
