We saw a LOT of friendly (and not so friendly) faces in Magic Kingdom yesterday!
We took a spin around Magic Kingdom yesterday and spotted a lot of our favorite characters out and about. Honestly, they were having an INTERESTING day! Take a look at these characters plus MORE updates on construction and merchandise from Disney’s flagship park!
Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
Character Cavalcades
First up, let’s talk about those characters! The Princess Cavalcade looked pretty different yesterday as the main float was completely MISSING. So most of the princesses were hoofing it!
The smaller gazebo float was still there so Tiana and Rapunzel were lucky enough to keep their ride.

Then later we saw MORE character fun when Wendell, the Country Bear, was out as the Fantasyland Friends Cavalcade road through. Sure enough, he had a pretty silly interaction with Gaston…
…and Peter Pan and Aladdin said hi too! And we got video of the whole thing!

Peter Pan’s Flight
Peter Pan’s Flight still has construction barriers surrounding the queue and now the walls have been expanded slightly.
Rivers of America
When we got to Magic Kingdom yesterday, we were surprised to notice that the Liberty Belle Riverboat and Tom Sawyer Island were closed.
But they reopened a few hours later so, luckily, the closure didn’t seem too serious.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train
As we left in the afternoon, Seven Dwarfs Mine Train saw some downtime too, but we noticed it was up and running later.
Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates
Emporium
As for merchandise, we spotted a new Blue Castle Beanie at the Main Street Emporium for $24.99. This is perfect for those chillier evenings!
This spot also had those new Flower Minnie Ears we’ve been seeing!
Star Traders
And over at Star Traders, we noticed they had the pretty Pearl Minnie Ears in stock.
That’s all of the latest updates from Magic Kingdom today! We’re not sure why all the characters were having such a wild day, but maybe they’ll be back to their usual selves soon. As always, keep an eye on DFB for the latest updates from Disney World!
