We spent a LOVELY day in Disney World’s flagship park yesterday!
Magic Kingdom
Some things are certainly different from the last time we popped into the Magic Kingdom, so we’re bringing you an update with alllll the news in construction and merchandise!
Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
Mad Tea Party
The Mad Tea Party won’t be swirling you around through a wacky soiree for the next few weeks as this beloved attraction is closed for routine maintenance.
No spinning temporarily
Right now, the attraction is listed as reopening on March 5th and we’ll keep an eye out for any changes!

Cinderella Castle
Some work over at the Castle definitely surprised us! The Cinderella Castle Moat is completely DRAINED! We just got the Rivers of America filled again and now the moat is gone?
Empty Castle Moat
We’re not sure exactly what work is being done on the moat but you can see that it is almost fully empty.

Work is being done on the stage at Cinderella Castle too.

We’re keeping a close eye on construction so be on the lookout for updates. Disney has also announced an exciting castle overlay for the 50th anniversary. You can read all about it here.

Emporium
The Emporium had EXPLODED with merchandise celebrating the upcoming Disney film, Raya and the Last Dragon. We’ve seen most of this merchandise elsewhere but we DID spot a few new things.
Raya Shirt
Take a look at these t-shirts! You can snag them for $36.99 each.
Ongi Shirt
We’re apologizing to our wallets because some of this merch is pretty sweet — and we haven’t even seen the movie yet!

Speaking of Raya and the Last Dragon, we also saw this Raya and the Last Dragon Pin at Frontier Trading Post for $12.99.
