Hello from Magic Kingdom! We were pleasantly surprised this morning to see it was fairly calm crowd-wise at the park. (Our guess is that everyone was at Hollywood Studios, trying to get a boarding group for Rise of the Resistance.) Let’s see what’s happening around the park!

To ring in the new year, Disney has been releasing lots of 2020 merchandise. Today, a series of 2020 phone cases were added to the D-tech on Demand kiosks. Even though we may be in denial about the end of the decade, we still think these phone cases are cool. The standard cases are $29.99 and the specialty (3D) case is $34.99.

You cannot escape the cuteness of Baby Yoda. We spotted this 3D phone case for the iPhone X and 11 in Curtain Call. At Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., Baby Yoda items are now included in the D-Tech on Demand display.

Some snazzy ornaments caught our eye in the Emporium. This one is made of layers of metal to give a 3D diorama effect. It retails for $19.99.

Finally in Frontierland, we spotted a man casually sharing his popcorn with a squirrel. While we are NOT ENCOURAGING this in any way, it did make for a pretty cute photo op.
