PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 1/26/21 (Rivers of America Refilling Complete, Track Work Near Fantasyland Station, New Limited Edition Pins, and More)

Hello from another absolutely beautiful day here at the Magic Kingdom! We’ve been spoiled with the last two days of weather here in Central Florida, with near-record highs for this time of year, but all good things must come to an end. We took advantage of the last day of this unseasonably warm weather to check out what might be new in the Magic Kingdom. Let’s get started!

We came into the park this morning amid dense fog, and took a moment to admire Cinderella Castle and the Partners statue all wrapped up in it, and wanted to share that moment with you. We had a wonderful day the Magic Kingdom, and we hope you enjoyed coming along with us. Have a magical day!
