We’re back again with a roundup of all of the new updates we got at Disney World this week.
Cinderella Castle
You might be wondering just how many things could possibly happen at Disney World in just a week, but the answer is A LOT. We’re at Disney World every single day keeping track of all of the changes — big and small. While we couldn’t possibly include all of these things in just ONE post, we can show you all some of our favorite updates. You ready? Let’s go!
We’ll start in Magic Kingdom!
Cast Members got new costumes!
Recently, Disney World Cast Members were spotted wearing new costumes on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom, and now it appears that change has extended to Cast Members working in the stores!
NEW costumes at park entry!
If you head to Main Street, U.S.A., you’ll see Cast Members at the Emporium are sporting new costumes! One of the new Cast Member costume options includes a burgundy and cream skirt paired with a pink top, burgundy sleeves, and a neck piece. Another option includes a blue vest with a white striped button-up and khakis.
New Emporium Cast Member costumes
One Cast Member spoke very highly of the new costume! They said it was more breathable and that there is a long-sleeve option on some of the styles. The Emporium changes reflect a new costume movement that seems to be sweeping over Main Street, U.S.A.!
NEWS: Disney Quietly CHANGES a Magic Kingdom Character Meet-and-Greet
Next, let’s head over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
A NEW map and character changes!
During our most recent visit to Animal Kingdom, we spotted this new map on the stands at the front of the park!
The new map!
When you open the front page, you’re greeted by the Alive with Magic spread, which includes some of Animal Kingdom’s biggest highlights. It mentions popular entertainment, character meets, dining, and animal experiences. It also gives a little guide to the My Disney Experience app. The map itself is where we spotted the changes — there are new character meet-and-greet icons in DinoLand, U.S.A., and The Oasis. These mark the spots where Goofy, Pluto, and Pocahontas meet now.

The rest of the map seems to have not changed!

Finally, let’s head over to EPCOT!
A NEW attraction is almost complete!
We’ve been tracking the construction progress of the CommuniCore Hall at EPCOT for what seems like forever and now it seems like EPCOT’s finally ready to give us SOMETHING back! CommuniCore is set to open on June 11th, 2024, and we happened to spot MORE light testing going on at the building opening soon!
CommuniCore
It was absolutely breathtaking! It was incredible to watch all of the lights flicker and change seamlessly through all of the colors and we almost couldn’t take our eyes off it!
Beautiful
We think these lights will be an incredible addition to the World Celebration area of EPCOT and cant wait to be able to walk up closer to them when the time comes!
