We’ll dive into the newest treats, merch, and more around the park. But we’re going to start by taking a look back…

Disney’s Walk Around the World Bricks

It was announced this week that Disney’s Walk Around the World Bricks are going to be removed in the coming months to make way for reconfigurations of pathways to improve the comings and goings of guests.

So, we wanted to share a couple of pics before they are retired.

BUT! Have you heard that Disney has developed processes — both online and in Disney World — for you to purchase a commemorative brick? You can read all about it here!

Castle and Construction

But the removal of the bricks, of course, isn’t the only physical change coming to the park. Construction continues along the area between Tomorrowland and the entrance to Main Street, U.S.A.

And change-in-progress can be seen around Cinderella Castle, too, where the moat has been drained.

This is to aid construction that will ultimately result in the widening of the pathway from Liberty Square to Fantasyland behind the Castle.

At Main Street Confectionery and Big Top Treats, you can find classic Disney confections decorated in the color Briar Rose Gold.

These treats are set out in advance of the arrival of the upcoming Briar Rose Gold merchandise collection launching on April 1st in Walt Disney World.
