Time for lemonade and cracker jack, Casey Jr.’s back! For well over a year, Casey Jr. Splash ‘N’ Soak Station sat dejected in the Storybook Circus section of Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom, direly in need of a good cleaning, painting, and overall refurbishment.

Disney is hitting us right in the feels with this new Genie baseball hat, and we are so, so grateful they went with the animated classic Genie. (Consider that a wish granted.) We found this character cap at The Mad Hatter in Fantasyland at Disneyland. The cap features Genie’s face and his signature ponytail (and … Read more
It seems that while many bemoan the existence of specially ticketed events, these events continue with massive success. (We actually recommend it and believe it may be worth the price for many park-goers.) Early Morning Magic at the Magic Kingdom is no exception to this, and because of it, they’ve decided to add on even … Read more
It was a rainy day at The Most Magical Place on Earth, but even a rainy day spent at Magic Kingdom is better than a day spent almost anywhere else. Rainy Day at the Magic Kingdom New Merchandise My first stop inside Curtain Call Collectables (to grab fresh Fuel Rods for the day) led to … Read more
Put on your Sunday clothes, there’s a new MagicBand out there! There’s a new MagicBand 2 out at Walt Disney World featuring Wall-E and M-O (the Microbe-Obliterator), the fastidious cleaning robot. Wall-E steals the show in this band, but if you look closely, he’s leaving his trademark dirt tracks. The Wall-E logo graces the top … Read more
When we heard Aunt Polly’s Restaurant was extending its hours and throwing down fresh PB&Js, we knew we had to take a raft over to the famed, elusive establishment.

After a long day in the real world, it was time for a visit to the Magic Kingdom. It was a beautiful evening, and we have just enough time before sunset to get some good photos. We made our way over to see the animals in Storybook Circus. Casey Jr. Splash ‘n’ Soak is getting … Read more
With a maximum speed of about 7 mph, the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover in the Magic Kingdom is quite possibly the slowest omnimover ride in all of Walt Disney World, but for two sets of guests, alleged issues with ride vehicles crashing into each other have caused injuries, and led to subsequent lawsuits. The Orlando … Read more

We reported earlier this week about the beginning stages of the process behind draining the moat surrounding Cinderella Castle. On a tour through the park today, we caught the latest updates on the progress, featuring an almost completely empty moat. It doesn’t look quite as magical with all that gunk at the bottom. The moat is … Read more
