Royal greetings from Cinderella Castle! We’re making our way around Magic Kingdom and Disney Springs today.

It’s always fun to start your day off with some shopping, so we made our way over to the Emporium where we saw a new Star Wars 4-pack puzzle set featuring the Mandalorian and Grogu.

There was quite a bit of new merchandise for pets! We spotted a 101 Dalmatians “Can’t catch me” leash, and two “pawsitively adorable” pull toys on the shelves for your pooch.

As we crossed the street to get to Uptown Jewelers, we noticed the construction surrounding Center Street has been extended quite a bit.

I AM GROOT. I am Groot. I am Groot! Uh, we mean there is a fun new Groot Pandora Charm at the back of Uptown Jewelers perfect for any MARVEL fan.

Before grabbing a morning coffee, we walked into Crystal Arts, where a 16 oz. tumbler 50th anniversary glassware is now available.

Time to head into the park! More work is taking place at the entrance archway to TRON Lightcycle / Run. A large tarp was being hung in the area.

Progress was also being made across the way at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co., where the awning was left in a bare-bones state for quite some time.

It was a beautiful summer day! One of our favorite spots to take in the fresh air is along the bridges in Frontierland. It’s also a great view for when the Liberty Belle passes by.

It’s lunchtime! There’s a new Walking Taco over at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe, so let’s dig into this new 50th treat!

Not much else was happening in the kingdom today, so we made our way over to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa to check in on the construction at the back Villas. The new DVC rooms opened late in June.

We then took a walk along the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort to find walls back up around the small patch of walkway missing. Currently, wooden planks are covering the area of path that is missing. It’s pretty quiet out here, so let’s make our way over to Disney Springs!

World of Disney wasn’t very crowded today. In the mug section, a small Minnie Mouse sticker water bottle is out.

In the Star Wars and Marvel sections, more of the Star Wars Heroes x Villains collection is available, including a new hat, tie-dye, and youth shirts. May the force be with our wallets, so we don’t buy it all!

Star Wars Trading Post has this really cool 45th anniversary vintage action figures print. We’ve been finding a lot of new Star Wars merchandise recently to celebrate the occasion, including these new pins.

We found a new Jasmine headband at Hollywood Studios the other day, and now there is this lovely new canvas frame of the princess to go with it to celebrate the 30th anniversary! We found this at DisneyStyle.

It was getting pretty hot, so we popped into the Ganachery to check in on their latest bites before heading out. There is a new Corksicle “Chocolate is good medicine” tumbler on the shelves that looks perfect for hot chocolates or coffees.
