PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 12/14/20 (Partial “it’s a small world” Facade Reveal, New “Mandalorian” MaDe Phone Cases, Adorable Disney Cats & Dogs Merchandise, Groot Sale, and More)

Hello from a beautiful day here at the Magic Kingdom! We had a very busy day here finding all the latest and greatest news and merchandise for you, so let’s get started!

main-street-train-station-scrim-dec-14_8

When we arrived we got a good look at the new full scrim covering the Main Street Train Station. From the outside of the park, just the top of the tower is visible.

From the inside, various walls and towers block the majority of the station, except for the balcony where characters still gather to greet guests.

Down Main Street, U.S.A., more refurbishment is underway, although this project is much more minor than the train station project. About a week or so ago, we saw the sides of the marquee for the false storefront of Main Street Fashion & Apparel get refurbished, and now it’s the center panel’s turn. During the refurbishment it will be covered in this painted scrim fabric, like the other sides were.

peoplemover-refurbishment-magic-kingdom-12142020-8105736

Deeper in the park, we found repairmen actively working on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover. Though it was hard for us to see them beyond the metal railing on the second level, they were working on the track itself, which we could tell by how they sat down and into the floor.

tron-lightcycle-run-canopy-piece-assembly-magic-kingdom-12142020-8308380

At the construction site for TRON Lightcycle / Run, we saw a piece of illuminated canopy be moved for further assembly today before it will be hoisted into place.

no-new-track-laid-fantasyland-station-magic-kingdom-12142020-8077760

Nearby at the Fantasyland Train Station, no new train track has been laid, nor has there been additional railroad ties brought out. We were excited to see progress last week, but that forward momentum seems to have stalled.

rivers-of-america-refurb-12-14-1

Harper’s Mill on Tom Sawyer Island is now the focus of construction as work on the Liberty Square Riverboat track wraps up. Scaffolding was being built around the Mill building today during the day.

drained-rivers-of-america-replacing-liberty-square-riverboat-track-magic-kingdom-12142020-4723081

It appears a large chunk of Liberty Square Riverboat track has been removed, even though we believe that to be recently replaced track. The section in question can be seen laying on the riverbank nearby. It is unclear why this section was removed.

pirates-of-the-caribbean-sail-sign-still-gone-for-refurbishment-magic-kingdom-12142020-9974394

The large ship’s sail that served the attraction’s main sign for Pirates of the Caribbean is still being refurbished, leaving a plain black sail in its place. No return time frame is known.

its-a-small-world-12-14-7

Our last bit of construction news was an exciting one—a section of painted scrim was removed from in front of “it’s a small world” overnight last night, revealing the newly painted attraction facade underneath. The refurbishment is not complete yet, but this means we’re one step closer to seeing the whole front of this classic attraction in all her refurbished glory.

columbia-harbour-house-peter-pans-flight-queue-0

While we were checking on “it’s a small world”, we noticed that Peter Pan’s Flight was routing its queue through Columbia Harbour House, which is still temporarily unavailable, and we had to take a look inside.

many-adventures-of-winnie-the-pooh-line-reaches-merida-meet-and-greet-magic-kingdom-12142020-7925709

We found another long line in a rather unexpected place today. The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, whose “long” lines normally end by Mad Tea Party, had a line that stretched all the way to the temporarily unavailable meet and greet area for Merida. It was quite an impressive queue!

talking-groot-sale-magic-kingdom-12142020-6390167

We found an impressive selection of merchandise to show you today. The first thing we found, while not new, has a great new deal on it. Originally $59.99, this Interactive Talking Groot is now $39.99, and addition discounts do stack on top of this sale. We found this deal at The Emporium.

up-throw-blanket-pillow-9

While at The Emporium, we found this awesome pillow inspired by the movie Up, as well as two throw blankets that would make for a great set. For more pictures and information, check out our article here.

wdw-tumblers-20

We also found several new fun tumblers at The Emporium that are sure to become your new favorite tumbler. Our favorite was this one which says “I Need A FastPass To Friday” and has a Mickey straw topper! For more pictures and information on all the tumblers we found, check out our article here.

minnie-multicolor-pen-magic-kingdom-12142020-2773126

Though it may be small, we still like finding things like this. This multicolor pen features a Minnie Mouse head on top, and a decorated red and black barrel. We found it at The Emporium for $12.99.

well-now-you-found-me-mandalorian-phone-case-made-kiosk-magic-kingdom-12142020-2517599

We found several new phone cases with designs featuring characters from The Mandalorian in the MaDe kiosk in Tomorrowland Light & Power Co today. They all reference characters dealt with in Season 2.

All of these cases start at $29.99.

We also found one of the designs in a magnet, which start at $14.99.

2021-mickey-shirt-made-kiosk-magic-kingdom-12142020-1783341

While there we checked in on the MaDe shirt kiosk and found two new shirts, both 2021 designs. We’re excited for all of this new merchandise! These shirts start at $29.99.

made-shirt-kiosk-new-categories-magic-kingdom-12142020-7749523

We also noticed that the MaDe shirt kiosk has gotten some new organization, and now has categories instead of all the designs thrown together. You can now view the designs based on genre, similar to the MaDe kiosks for MagicBands and phone cases.

2021-youth-hat-primary-colors-magic-kingdom-12142020-1003484

We found a new youth 2021 hat today in an unlikely place, Bwana Bob’s cart across from Sunshine Tree Terrace. This hat retails for $24.99.

nightmare-before-christmas-open-edition-pin-set-chibi-characters-magic-kingdom-12142020-2084889

Speaking of unlikely places, we found this new Nightmare Before Christmas open edition chibi character pin set at Plaza del Sol Caribe Bazaar for $27.99

dogs-cats-alex-ani-8

Speaking of Disney pets, we also found jewelry for cat lovers. This Alex and Ani bracelet features Disney cats, and can be found at The Emporium. Are you more of a dog person? We found a bracelet for you too! Check out our article for pictures and information.

disney-dogs-cats-loungefly-1

Our favorite find of the day would go perfectly with those bracelets, because who wouldn’t want to match their jewelry with their Loungefly? We found this coordinating pair of mini backpack and wallet by Loungefly featuring Disney Dogs.

disney-dogs-cats-loungefly-2

We also found a pair featuring Disney Cats as well! We love this bags! For more pictures and information, check out our article here.

winnie-the-pooh-dooney-2020_1

While at Uptown Jewelers checking out the new Loungefly backpacks, we also took a look at the brand new Dooney & Bourke featuring Winnie the Pooh. Isn’t this new collection darling? We love the classic illustrated look. For more pictures and information, check out our article here.

  1. I expect the riverboat track has been removed so that forklifts can bring scaffold and equipment the Harpers mill as its inside the track.
