Good morning from EPCOT. We started our day here because the EPCOT sign has recently been removed from the parking toll plaza, and we wanted to check to see if a new sign has been installed. We’re planning on spending our day at Magic Kingdom checking on construction updates and shopping. As always, we will share all the new things we find today. Let’s get started!
As we expected, a new EPCOT marquee has been installed at the parking plaza.
“Welcome” was installed yesterday, and today they added “EPCOT.”
We have arrived at Magic Kingdom. We love that the Mickey face has returned to the flower bed at the Main Street, U.S.A. train station.
Let’s start our day with some shopping in the Emporium.
We found two new MagicBand+ designs in the Emporium. The first is a “Dumbo” inspired MagicBand+. The band is grey and features “Dumbo” all over the band.
There was also a limited release Annual Passholder MagicBand+ design available. The band is white with a blue and green design and features different Disney park icons.
A new Disney Critter insulated mug has arrived in the Emporium. The mug features different Disney animals.
A new Mickey and Minnie T-shirt has arrived just in time for Valentine’s Day. The T-shirt features Mickey and Minnie with their tails forming a heart and the wording, “Love.”
A new ombre “Walt Disney World 1971” pullover and matching legging set is now available in the Emporium.
We are ready for the rain with this new Minnie hooded rain jacket we found in the Emporium. The rain jacket is purple, with Minnie holding a bouquet of balloons.
Also available in the Emporium are two new zip-up hoodies featuring Mickey Mouse in the colors purple and teal. Matching joggers were also available for purchase.
On Center Street, we spotted a new window display featuring Daisy Duck.
Daisy is wearing a name tag and is surrounded by fresh cut daisies that are for sale for 5 cents.
Next, we stopped by Splash Mountain to take a look at construction updates. Walls are blocking the front of the attraction, which makes it difficult to see what work is being done.
Splash Mountain signs are still visible behind the walls.
Signage has been removed and replaced at “The Laughin’ Place” play area. The sign that previously hung on this wooden column featured Br’er Rabbit. The new sign features safety information.
“The Laughin’ Place” sign has also been removed from the play area.
More Year of the Rabbit Lunar New Year 2023 merchandise has arrived in Star Traders, including this mug. The mug features Thumper from “Bambi” and Aurora’s rabbit friends from “Sleeping Beauty.”
A Mickey Mouse gray tie-dye hoodie is available in Star Traders.
Also available is a purple Minnie Mouse bucket hat. This design matches the rain jacket we found in the Emporium.
A new Lotso mug was also available in Star Traders. The mug comes with a plush wrap featuring Lotso from “Toy Story 3.”
Sonny Eclipse has been hidden by curtains in Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for over 10 days.
In Bigtop Souvenirs, we spotted a new Dumbo themed hooded rain jacket.
In Fantasy Faire, we found some new apparel. The first is a Fantasyland themed sweater. This sweater features different icons from Fantasyland.
The second is a Disney princess T-shirt featuring Tiana, Snow White, Cinderella, and Jasmine.
In Frontier Trading Post, a new Limited Release Marvel logo MagicBand+ has arrived.
That’s all from Magic Kingdom; thanks for following along with our day!
