Good morning from the beautiful Magic Kingdom! Let’s start the day by checking out some of the latest merchandise to hit the parks!

When we spotted our good friend Orange Bird in the new Park Pals set, we freaked out a little. He’s so cute! Every detail on him is adorable and he might be our favorite of all the new Park Pals we’ve seen so far (but Figment and chonky Simba are pretty close for second place).

So many new pins in the parks today! There are two new “Maleficent: Mistress of Evil” pins available just in time for the movie release. The one with just Maleficent’s face is $15.99, and the other with “Mistress of Evil” is $17.99.

The latest “I Heart Gaming” pin is a Walt Disney World exclusive and features Toy Story for $17.99.

Kingdom Consoles Sorcerer Mickey, Dia de los Muertos, and The Wind in the Willows Pop Up Book pins were all released as well. These pins can be found throughout Walt Disney World for $17.99 each.

We’ve been seeing more and more iPhone 11 cases rolling out across the parks. Three new styles, available in iPhone 11, iPhone 11 max, and iPhone 11 max pro have all be released at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. at the exit of Space Mountain. You can check out all the new releases here. We’re excited to see more options available for the latest iPhones.

Since we’ve worked up an appetite after all that shopping, let’s check out the newly relocated spring roll cart. This was once a nondescript cart, tucked away inside Adventureland, holding the best kept snack secret in the park. Now, they’ve moved it outside of the entrance to Adventureland and stuck a “themed” sign on the cart to attract more customers. Well, that’s what they call progress, dear.

The crowds aren’t too terrible around the parks. A few places have crazy FastPass lines, but nothing seems to be too busy today.

Let’s take a look at some of the construction around the park! First, we took a quick look at the Liberty Square Market. The brick work looks a little more complete, but the lighting still hasn’t been installed yet.

Over at the site of TRON, we can see more work taking place outside of the main show building. The track and building seem to be expanding outward, so we’ll be keep a close eye on the progress!

Inside of Mickey’s Star Traders, the murals are covered up by boards. We’re hoping this is just to protect them during the remodel. It appears that they’ve been putting new wrappings on the fixtures around the shop rather than paint.

We recently spotted the Phineas popcorn bucket at a few carts in Frontierland, but now we spotted the Ezra sipper cup available in Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Cafe. We’re still searching for Gus during the day, though. These can be purchased by day guests now, and are no longer exclusive to the party.

Well, that’s about it for our journey around the Magic Kingdom today. It might be time for another visit to the spring roll cart for a snack on the way out of here. Until next time!
