Hello, this is your one and only Nana! Yes, it’s my turn to write about my Disney Princess Reporter life. I hope you guys had a magical holiday!

What did Nana do for Christmas? Oh, thank you for asking! I worked and reported from Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. I got to see Santa Duffy and Santa Goofy! It was magical. (Don’t worry I went to somewhere non-Disney after that…)

All the holiday crowds are full throttle in the parks, and all the rides, restaurants, and restrooms have long lines. If you ever wonder which bathroom you should go to during this busy season, please watch our podcast! We break down all the best and worst bathrooms on property, and offer a little history lesson. Anyway, let the magic begin. Shall we?

Good Morning from TTC – Magic Kingdom

One-day Magic Kingdom base tickets have been sold out often during the holiday and today was the one of those day, which means we are expecting large crowds.

The Monorails were having some issues; it took me about 20 minutes to get to Magic Kingdom via Express Monorail.

Here, you can see the crane for Big Thunder Moutain and Beyond.

Since the monorail took a little extra today, I was a little late for “Let the Magic Begin.” At least I got to see it a little bit.

The things we’ve been checking during our visits to Magic Kingdom are the Swiss Family Treehouse, the under-construction Pirates-themed tavern, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad construction, and the Haunted Mansion.

The Swiss Family Treehouse is still not fully reopened, but some parts smell like new paint.

At the reported future home of the Pirates-themed tavern, they are working on the ceiling. I am not tall like other bloggers so I can’t get any behind-the-wall pictures, unfortunately. They also recently added a stone-like texture to the walls.

At Big Thunder Mountain, there have been no updates since our last report. But DO NOT forget, Big Thunder Moutain Railroad will close for a long refurbishment starting January 6th, 2025.

At the Haunted Mansion, the Duke and Duchess are still not moving. Elsa must have frozen them and forgot about it! (I hope true love will thaw them soon.)

2024 is about to be over, but the Tomorrowland rocks never got fully painted this year… Maybe they will get fully painted in 2025.

Nothing was going on in Magic Kingdom, so I made my way to the All-Star Resorts to review some new treats.

The New Treats from World Premiere Food Court

I feel like Disney is always dropping new menu items when I’m the only reporter in the parks, but it’s fine! Today, I had an unofficial intern with me. It’s a lot for just two of us.

You can watch or read my crazy review if you want to know my full thoughts on these sweet treats. I do not know how many reviews I’ve done this year, to be honest. Maybe I should count them all?

Speaking of counting, Let’s talk about my yearly recap.

2024 as a Theme Park Reporter

I’ve counted how many days I’ve gone to the parks this year. (So I can calculate how much my per visit is…
