Welcome back to another What’s New at Magic Kingdom!
While in the park yesterday, we noticed more Rivers of America progress, found some exciting new merchandise, and even spotted a new park map! Let’s dive right in.
Hello from Magic Kingdom, DFB friends!
It’s the start to another busy week at Disney! While out and about in Magic Kingdom yesterday, we spotted some characters, took a peek at the Rivers of American construction, and more.
We’re back again this week to share updates about the MANY projects going on at Disney World right now.
This was an exciting week as we saw some construction milestones take place for a handful of projects!
We’re back to share everything that’s new at Magic Kingdom!
We’ve got some new merch and interesting construction updates to tell y’all about, so let’s jump right in!
It’s the end of another busy week at Magic Kingdom!
While at Magic Kingdom yesterday, we spotted some pretty low wait times, construction progress on the Rivers of America, and even some new merch! Let’s take a look.
Disney World will often close attractions, restaurants, or resorts for refurbishments. Some closures are scheduled in advance while others are unexpected and due to maintenance issues or other reasons.
You won’t always find the closures advertised before your trip so it’s good to stay in the know! We’re here to help you plan ahead by listing all the planned refurbishments for this week. Check out everything this will be closed between January 25th through January 31st!
Things are looking a little different over at Magic Kingdom at Disney World today!
The Rivers of America, the Liberty Square Riverboat, and Tom Sawyer Island have been under refurbishment since last fall and we’ve slowly been seeing some construction progress, although the refurbishment did get extended.
We’re “walkin’ right down the middle of Main Street, U.S.A.” in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom…

… and we’re taking YOU along as we check out what’s NEW around the park, from shortbread snacks to construction updates to merchandise and more. Here we go!
We’ve got lots of construction updates to share this week!
This week, we’ve noticed developments on the upcoming M&M’s Store in Disney Springs, Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure, the upcoming EPCOT nighttime spectacular, Harmonious, and more!
Not every Disney World attraction is open 365 days a year! Some are scheduled to close for touch-ups or large construction projects.
Some refurbishments are scheduled months in advance and others are in need of maintenance. It’s good practice to know what Disney World rides and shows are closed so you can plan ahead! Knowing beforehand allows you to create an itinerary based on what’s closed and what’s open in the theme parks! Let’s take a look at next week’s refurbishment schedule between January 18th through January 24th, 2021.
