Aloha from Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We’re starting our day here to grab some breakfast and Kona coffee. Then we plan on hopping on the monorail and heading to Magic Kingdom. We plan on doing some shopping, checking on construction updates and riding some rides. As always we will be sure to report all the new things we find today. Let’s get started!
We love stopping by Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort lobby first thing in the morning to get some Kona coffee and breakfast.
The rugs have recently been replaced in the lobby with new floral rugs. Today we noticed that the couch cushions have also been replaced in the lobby.
The couches that surround the planters in the lobby have also been replaced with a new design.
We hopped on the monorail and headed to Magic Kingdom.
More walls have been erected at the Disney Vacation Club wing at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.
We arrived at Magic Kingdom!
Let’s do some shopping!
The new Disney100 Vera Bradley collection has arrived in Uptown Jewelers today.
To celebrate Disney’s 100 anniversary, Vera Bradley has created an allover floral design featuring many of Disney’s most popular characters including Alice, Bambi and Winnie the Pooh. This print is available in many different items including a backpack.
The allover Disney100 print includes characters, Alice, White Rabbit, Mad Hatter, Cheshire Cat, Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Michael, Wendy and John Darling and Lost Boys, Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, Piglet, Roo and Owl, Bambi, Flower and Thumper, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
This print is available in accessories like a notebook, tumbler with straw and a beach towel.
Other bags with this print include a weekender travel bag, all in one crossbody, drawstring family tote, triple zip hipster, and Vera tote.
There is also a Snow White cosmetic bag and convertible wristlet available.
Finally, there is a plush throw blanket featuring some of our favorite Disney characters from the collection.
New Pandora charms were also available in Uptown Jewelers. A new Disney100 Cinderella Enchanted Carriage charm is now available.
The charm is hand-finished in sterling silver. This limited edition design features a stem and door crafted in 14k solid gold and a window set with a diamond. “Disney 100” is engraved on the back of the carriage to commemorate 100 years of wonder.
A new park exclusive Alice in Wonderland Pandora charm is also available. This charm features the White Rabbit and the March Hare.
There were also the runDisney charms from the Disney Princess Half Marathon weekend. We were told by cast members these would be available for only one week at Uptown Jewelers.
The charms include a Jasmine 5K, Belle 10K, Moana half marathon, and Cinderella 19.3 mile challenge.
Next we stopped by Splash Mountain to take a look at the construction. Workers were out at the bottom of the flume at Splash Mountain.
We also saw workers dissembling the shutters at Splash Mountain.
Next we decided to pay a visit to The Haunted Mansion.
“Welcome, Foolish Mortals!”
We noticed that the interactive effect with the Hitchhiking Ghosts was not operating. Instead a “B” mode showed the Hitchhiking Ghosts floating as the ride came to a conclusion. Cast members informed us that the interactive mode is currently down and they are working to get it back up and running soon.
In Bigtop Souvenirs we spotted a new Star Wars, women of the galaxy mystery pin set.
This collection features 8 different designs and each box contains two randomly selected pins.
We decided to take a ride on the Walt Disney World Railroad. As we passed Splash Mountain we noticed the shutters have already been removed from the attraction.
In Main Street Confectionery we spotted new Easter and Saint Patrick’s Day treats. These treats included a green popcorn.
There was also Mickey cereal treats, cake pops, and chocolate covered apples.
Thanks for following along with our day!
