We are coming at you from Disney World’s Magic Kingdom to share What’s New!

Magic Kingdom

This is where “the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down” a lot, lot, LOT this week. But that’s never stopped the Dapper Dans from having fun…

… so let’s follow their lead and check out What’s New in Magic Kingdom!

What’s New at Magic Kingdom Entrance

The Dream Builders remain busy in Magic Kingdom, where construction projects move forward!

Construction Area

Work continues in the area starting at the park’s entrance which spans between Space Mountain and Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

We don’t know exactly what the ultimate goal is here, but fortunately fun views of Space Mountain aren’t obstructed in the least.

What’s New on Main Street, U.S.A.

Did you see the Chocolate Extreme Shake that just made its debut at The Plaza Restaurant?

What’s New in Tomorrowland

Sonny Eclipse still remains sadly absent at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café.

Where are you, Sonny?

But fret not, space friends. According to Cast Members, our favorite lounge-singing alien is just visiting family in his home galaxy, and should be back soon!

Everybody needs a break, after all… even Sonny Eclipse!

Speaking of unique creatures, Joffrey’s Revive Coffee & Tea kiosk is currently serving the Unicorn Donut.

This is the first time we’ve seen it in the parks outside of its original home at Contemporary Grounds in the Contemporary Resort.

We also found a…

Chocolate Coconut Muffin

… well, we don’t exactly know. Is this Chocolate Coconut Muffin a polar bear? Is it a bunny? It cheered us up to learn that the Cast Member we spoke with didn’t know either 😉 . In any case, you’ll never hear me argue with chocolate and coconut!

And here is the latest look at quick-moving construction for the TRON coaster.

What’s New in Magic Kingdom Merchandise

In case you missed it, the prices have increased for the Magic Kingdom reusable bags.

Magic Kingdom Reusable Shopping Bags

Previously priced at $1.00, $1.50, and $2.00, each individually sized bag is now a dollar more.

Reusable Bags

Of course, these are indicative of similar price increases for all the other park-specific bags.

The Dooney & Bourke Disney Cats collection which made its first appearance in Disney Springs is now available at Magic Kingdom’s Emporium.

Rainy Days in Magic Kingdom

Since summer storms aren’t even remotely uncommon in Florida, we thought we’d leave you with a few pictures to remind you that even when the clouds cover Magic Kingdom
