It’s been a big day for changes at the Magic Kingdom. We’ve covered several big stories today, but to help summarize all of our findings, here is your guide to the updates.
Monorail
Dividers between sections on the monorail have now been removed, along with the plastic dividers that created additional sections within the cabins.
Jungle Cruise
Along with an addition to the Hippo scene this morning, the Jungle Cruise has removed its plexiglass dividers, allowing separate parties to sit near each other.
Guests Now Maskless on Attractions
We stopped by a few attractions to take in the sights of the guests enjoying the thrill of no longer wearing masks while riding.
Guests Shop Maskless Once Again
We stopped by a few stores as well to check out guests enjoying their shopping while maskless. We noticed that in some of the smaller shops that were still limited capacity, Cast Members aren’t always standing at the door now, so we assume they are no longer actively counting the number of guests entering and exiting.
Splash Mountain
Splash Mountain is now loading every row to increase capacity.
Pirates of the Caribbean
Pirates of the Caribbean is now also seating every row, as we confirmed with Cast Members at the attraction.
“it’s a small world”
Joining the two rides above, “it’s a small world” is also seating every row once again.
Peter Pan’s Flight
Part of the scrim was removed from the show building of Peter Pan’s Flight, revealing a fresh and vibrant paint job.
Fireworks Returning
In arguably the most exciting news of all, fireworks will finally be returning on July 1st! EPCOT fireworks will return on this day as well.
Which of these changes are you happiest to see? Let us know in the comments below.

Fireworks 🎆
A great day news wise! Thanks for all that you guys do! Most excited for fireworks returning. Harmonious is ready to go I feel. We shall see!
I’m glad we are coming July 4th
All of them ❤
Please remove the park reservation system.
When is the guess on annual passes coming back? September? Or after the 50th anniversary celebration
Character meet and greets need to be brought back.
Masks. Now bring back the dining plan!
ALL very very nice. BUT seriously need a return of the “fast pass”. I will give you; no dining plan and the new park pass protocol. BUT fast pass is a must.
We’re almost there. Remove the reservation system, bring back the fast pass, and if it’s not too difficult, please bring back the trams for my poor feet after a long day.
