Dateline: Walt Disney World – July 30, 2022
The long awaited MagicBand+ finally arrives! Has it lived up to the hype? Let’s take a look at the news around Walt Disney World for the last week in July.
Merida Greets Guests
Good news if you love to meet your favorite Disney friends – another Princess has made her return. Merida is now back at her meet and greet area near Cheshire Cafe. This quiet area is tucked just to the right of Cinderella Castle. She is meeting guests through the morning and afternoon
MagicBand+ Is Here!
Wednesdy brought some of the biggest news – the arrival of the MagicBand+. As renewing Passholders, we could grab one at the discounted rate of $34.99 for the Printed/designer/logo one. We grab the Partners and Orange Bird. These new bands will interact with the 50th statues, allow you to play a bounty hunter game in Galaxy’s Edge, and light up during the nighttime spectaculars. Once we get our delivery, we’ll do a full write up. Until then, we have a blank picture on the confirmation page.
Second Party Date Sold Out
A second date for Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party has sold out. The first night, August 16, is no longer available, joining October 31 as the only second date to sell out. Party dates are just around the corner, making it completely normal to see pumpkins sprouting up around Magic Kingdom in the hot Florida summer.
New Moana Art
Disney Imagineer Zach Riddley shared a graphic from the upcoming Journey of Water attraction at Epcot. We have a new YouTube video of the current construction of the location in the new World Nature space.
A Merry Unbirthday To You
Several years ago, there are teapots in the shrubbery/bushes near Mad tea Party. Then, they disappeared. Well good news, the teapots are back and freshened up with a new coat of paint.
That’s all of the news for the week! Are you planning to attend a Halloween party this year? Curious about the new MagicBand+ or thinking about getting one?
