Our first photo report of 2017 brings us to the Magic Kingdom to see the latest adjustments and merchandise additions around the park. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

Good morning Magic Kingdom!

They have slowly been repaving the area outside of Mickey’s Philharmagic over the last few weeks.

Some new Villains shirts available at Sir Mickey’s.

A new Belle shirt for sale as well.

Christmas stickers were being given out all around the park.

Liberty Square Market has started selling Muppets plush since the show is nearby. They can’t sell baked potatoes anymore, BUT LETS STOCK SOME PLUSH!

There has been a pretty vile garbage mound growing in the Rivers of America as of late…

Including some dead fish…

PADDLEFISH ANYONE?

If I haven’t mentioned it before, Pecos Bill’s has recently become my favorite counter service stop at the Magic Kingdom. The fajita dish is pretty good and offers more than enough food.

The bowl is pretty good as well, considering you can load it up at the toppings bar.

Christmas Party exclusive pins were being sold to the general public before the last party even happened. As I have complained before, they should at least wait until the final party is over…

We found some baby ducks hanging out by Tomorrowland. I’ve never seen them this late in the year.

“No, don’t eat the cigarette!!!”

Stitch’s Great Escape Returns

Stitch’s Great Escape reopened for a bit every day to combat the crowds in the park. It actually was getting quite the line.

The walls that have been up since the rock painting began have now finally come down.





The decal over the entrance has been falling off for months, but I suppose there’s no reason to invest in something you are closing.

We pretty much just went in to say hello to Skippy who stayed over from the Alien Encounter attraction.

When seats are broken, you will sometimes still see these XS Tech “Temporarily Seized” seat covers.

This and That

The new customizable Star Wars name tags are also available at the Merchant of Venus, not just at Hollywood Studios.





They are now regularly handing out Zootopia stickers in Tomorrowland for some reason.

There its some heavy construction taking place near the Kingdom Cabanas adjacent to Space Mountain, not sure what for as of yet.

“it’s a MagicBand 2.0”

One of the first MagicBand 2’s available to guests is this “it’s a small world” 45th anniversary band currently available.

Mousecellaneous

There is a matching phone case available at D-Tech on Demand at the Tomorrowland Light and Power Co. at the exit of Space Mountain. Here’s hoping they do all of the 1971 attractions as a series of MagicBands and phone cases.

The Prince Eric’s Village snack vendor is now selling Little Mermaid merchandise…

They also now sell Sparkling Dasani in bottles.

I spotted this portrait up in Liberty Square and I couldn’t help but feel that it looked familiar…

Even during Christmas week, the Magic Kingdom did not sell out any of the Tiana’s Riverboat Party events. Be sure to read our review if you were thinking about attending this add-on event.

Big Top Souvenirs is now offering leather engraving.

I managed to find the two limited release 2017 MagicBand 2 designs here as well.

I’m not sure if this will stick around, but the Mad Tea Party was now using numbers on the ground to properly count out guests before loading the ride.

They are just decals on the floor… for now…

The Starport Seven-Five sign inside of Space Mountain while aboard the Peoplemover has been damaged pretty much since it was installed in 2009. It was finally replaced last month and looks great.
