Good morning from the Magic Kingdom!
We hopped aboard the Resort Monorail to the Magic Kingdom to check in on construction progress happening down below at the old Spirit of Aloha site. A few more construction vehicles have joined the large crane that has been at the project.
As we made our way into the park, we spotted the Lilly Belle making the rounds along the Walt Disney World Railroad. Given how rapidly testing has been moving along, we anticipate the railroad to reopen much sooner than originally announced.
Inside the Emporium, we found a giant Marie plush complete with a large satin pink bow. She’s just shy of two feet tall and also our favorite Aristocat. The giant Marie can be yours for $44.99.
The Minnie Mouse 50th figurine ornament and spinning metal 50th ornament are finally back in stock at the Emporium. It’s definitely been awhile since we’ve seen them.
Star Wars fans will love this authentic-looking utility keychain for $14.99 on the keychain and magnet rack.
Judy Hopps is on the case with this new puffy Zootopia keychain. There is a large grey puff ball and carrot alongside Judy. The keychain is 14.99.
This very cute and vintage-inspired 50th anniversary Vault Collection shopping bag pin is now available on the pin wall for $14.99.
Missing the parks? Get your “Dose of Disney” with this Cinderella Castle logo hat for $29.99. The back of the hat reads “Dose of Disney” in rainbow threading.
Just across the way at Uptown Jewelers, there is plenty of new jewelry to peruse. Two Disney Parks Collection Jewelry gold and silver cubic zirconia Mickey pendant necklaces are on the jewelry rack for $19.99 each.
This small but pretty blue and gold beaded Mickey necklace can be yours for $24.99.
This rainbow bead bracelet and necklace are super fun and colorful. They both feature a small gold Mickey head with rhinestones. Both items are $24.99 each.
Finally we found this very cute Disney Princess gold Baublebar bracelet set. The set has four bracelets featuring icons from “Sleeping Beauty”, “The Little Mermaid”, “Cinderella”, and “Beauty and the Beast.” The bracelets are $65.
Once the park opened it was time to hop aboard the PeopleMover to check in on progress over at TRON Lightcycle / Run. Work continues daily down below on the pathways and entrance archway of the future attraction. While vehicles have been testing almost daily at this point, we didn’t see any on our visit today.
Not much has happened at Tomorrowland Light and Power co across from TRON. Workers appear to be prepping for more pavement to be poured just a few days shy of the anticipated reopening date.
Over at Bonjour Village Gifts, all four of the 50th anniversary Jim Shore pieces are back in stock including Minnie Mouse, Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy.
A few new Annual Passholder phone and AirPod cases are available on MaDe kioks at Big Top Souvenirs. They look a little familiar!
Two new Pinocchio pins are also available at Big Top Souvenirs. One features a scene from the movie with Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket and the other is a scene with The Blue Fairy.
Mickey Mouse: The Main Attraction The Haunted Mansion collection has made its way into Memento Mori for a spell.
A new cartoon-style “Walt Disney Mickey Mouse” features a vintage Mickey Mouse on one side with his name on the other at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe for $29.99.
New Disney Magical Mystery Mailbox pins arrived at Frontier Trading Post along with the latest edition of the Princess Tea Party collection pin featuring Princess Aurora. The mystery pins retail for $7.99 and the Princess Tea Party pin retails for $19.99 and is limited edition of 4,000.
After a quick lap around the rest of the park, we hopped aboard the Resort Monorail to Disney’s Contemporary Resort where we found another engagement ring ornament holder, this time with Mickey Mouse on top!
There is a sparkly new Disney Princess beige tweed floral handbag with a removable strap at M. Mouse Mercantile near the Monorail entrance. The bag is $29.99.
Just downstairs, one of the pastry chefs is signing the limited edition gingerbread house pin that commemorates the yearly event.
The line for the house’s gingerbread goodies was quite long today!
We spotted a new resort Loungefly handbag at Curiouser Clothiers. So far we have found a crossbody wallet, backpack, and ears with the resort’s logo. Which is your favorite?
Sandy Cove also has a gingerbread house milk and cookie mug to match the one we found at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. This one features Belle and Beast hanging out in the snow. The mug is $24.99.
Before heading out, we stopped by some of the ongoing construction at one of the resort’s building. We noticed some work on the roof being done. We also heard some noise inside of Narcoossee’s along the water. While we’re not sure when its refurbishment will be complete, we’re glad it seems to be making progress!
Thanks for following along today!
