Hello friends, and welcome to another very hot day here at the Magic Kingdom! It was a beautiful, clear day despite the heat, and we had a quiet day checking out all the new things here for you. Let’s get started!

On our way down Main Street, USA, we noticed that the Main Street Cinema had a new A-frame sign out front today, advertising to guests that “Sweets & Treats” could be found within.

Closer to Cinderella Castle along the outer ring of the Hub, we noticed new lights had been installed in the trees in preparation for the upcoming light show for the 50th Anniversary celebrations. For more pictures and information, check out our article here.

Nearby, the audio track was on outside of the Pete’s Silly Sideshow building. We hope this means that character meet and greets will be returning soon!

In Frontierland, we found the construction walls down a day ahead of schedule at Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. The walls were replaced with A-frame signs bearing the same themed closed signs as had been on the walls. We were able to go back into the ride observation area and found that they were running empty trains through the attraction.
