food IS a theme park
Over the past several months, we’ve been keeping our eye on the work being done to connect Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa with Magic Kingdom via a new walkway and pedestrian bridge!
Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort
We hopped on the Monorail today to look at the progress, and it looks like it’s getting closer and closer to being complete!
Can’t decide between a cookie and a brownie?

Resort guests may not be getting free MagicBands starting January of 2021, but that doesn’t mean MagicBands have been disappearing. On the contrary, we’ve seen LOTS of NEW MagicBand designs released lately for guests to purchase!
Rainbow Mickey Castle MagicBand
You can get a MagicBand featuring some of your favorite characters and attractions, including the Jungle Cruise, Meeko from Pocahontas, and even Rainbow Unicorn from Inside Out. Now, fans of Ratatouille can carry the Tiny Chef with them wherever they go with a NEW MagicBand!
One thing has been strangely absent from Splash Mountain’s merch store lately…
This Way to Splash Mountain!
…Splash Mountain MERCH! On our most-recent walkthrough of Magic Kingdom, there was only ONE Splash Mountain-themed item in stock in the whole entire STORE!
‘Tis always the season at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe in Magic Kingdom!

This week, Magic Kingdom started to slowly resemble Halloween Town now that many of the residents from Nightmare Before Christmas have just moved in (in plush form!)
We’ve seen a bunch of new Haunted Mansion-themed merchandise lately including a SPOOKY spirit jersey, throw blanket, dress, puzzle, and even Crocs!

But the item that REALLY caught our eye was the new set of Haunted Mansion Wallpaper Minnie ears we saw debut on shopDisney earlier this week!
The current global situation has brought about a number of changes in and around Walt Disney World, including the need to wear masks in the parks and required temperature screenings.
Temperature Screening
We’ve shared with you that the people we’re most worried about in Disney World right now are the Cast Members. Starting today, Disney Cast Members wanting to be tested for coronavirus will actually be able to get tested on Disney World property, with a dedicated lane for themselves.
We’re in Magic Kingdom today scoping out some NEW MagicBands. Come along!
Magic Kingdom Entrance
We’ve been finding a bunch of cute MagicBands lately. A few of our recent favorites are the new Pocahontas MagicBand and the Mickey Rainbow Castle MagicBand! Well, if you’re a fan of simple and pretty accessories, you’re going to LOVE the new-to-us solid-color MagicBand we spotted today!
If you were hoping to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios over Labor Day weekend and haven’t reserved you Disney Park Passes yet, you might’ve missed your chance!
Hollywood Studios
Reservations for Disney’s Hollywood Studios have become notoriously more challenging to snag since the new Disney Park Pass system when live, often booking up weeks in advance. And since you need a Disney Park Pass reservation AND valid admission to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios during Disney World’s initial reopening phase, you may not be able to get in at all unless you’re on your A-game! Since this is such a major adjustment, we want to make sure you know what is available and what your park options are.
