Cinderella Castle is Already Getting Ready For Disney World’s 50th Anniversary

We’re taking you with us to Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom

We’ve got a few quick updates that you may want to know about if you’re headed to the park anytime soon. Let’s get started!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Castle Moat

While we were hangin’ around Cinderella Castle yesterday, we noticed the water levels in the moat were lower than usual. Now, Disney just refilled the moat last August, but it looks like it’s getting drained AGAIN!

You can see that the bank is more exposed than it was before.

Disney’s busy getting the parks all ready for its 50th anniversary this year, so maybe this area just needs a little spiffying up! We’ll let you know as we learn more.

…and a satchel!

We found them on display in Uptown Jewelers, but they will go on sale on February 22nd.

Star Traders

In Star Traders, we found the new Newspaper Collection. These outfits tell the story of Mickey and friends in the Mouse Times.

We’ve previously seen this collection in World of Disney at Disney Springs, but now they’re in Magic Kingdom, too! We’ll keep an eye out for them anywhere else in the parks.
