We hopped the Resort Monorail over to Magic Kingdom and took a peek at construction happening below at the previous Spirit of Aloha site.

Markers are placed around the site and the large crane still sits in the center of the area.

A new Haunted Mansion Doom Buggy pullback toy is available at the Emporium near the registers. The toy is $9.99.

We hopped aboard the PeopleMover to get a good view of TRON progress down below. The height requirement and attraction warning board were just recently installed and just today we heard news regarding the opening date!

Progress at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. seems to be trucking along as workers are present on the inside of the gutted building and working on what appears to be wiring or lighting cables on the outside.

Small red flags have been placed at the top of the empty banner posts at Mickey’s PhilarMagic. The banners have been missing for awhile so it appears as though there may be new ones arriving soon.

Fantasy Faire has a lovely pink blazer fit for a princess! The blazer has a small black embroidery along the top right panel and reads the name of princesses on the inside lining. The blazer is $79.99.

Three new pins arrived at Frontier Trading Post today. Two Wreck-It Ralph 10 year anniversary pins and a Cruella Our Transformation Story Villains pin. The Cruella pin is limited edition of 2,750 and is $19.99. Both of the limited release Wreck-It Ralph pins are $17.99.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad is still closed through Friday due to a rabid mountain goat infestation. Those darn goats!

The scrim over in the Lightning Lane queue at Pirates of the Caribbean remains unchanged, although there may be work happening on the small courtyard area behind it.

Zanzibar Trading Co.in Adventureland across from the Magic Carpets of Aladdin is still missing its sign.

A few attractions in Magic Kingdom have started receiving “Line starts here” signage instead of the usual posted wait time signage. This one looks like a paddle and is at Jungle Cruise.

MaDe kiosks at Big Top Souvenirs are featuring a few new 2023 items including a new phone case, acrylic ornament, and AirPod case that are available for customization.

After a quick trip around the remainder of the park, we stopped in over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort. The gingerbread house has been fully removed and the usual seating area has been restored.

Kaa is on this Our Transformation Story limited edition Villains pin at Fantasia. The Jungle Book pin is $19.99 and limited edition of 2,750.

We popped over to Disney’s Coronado Springs for the remainder of the afternoon to see what was new around property. We found a new resort beach towel with colorful tiles that even feature a few Mickey heads for $29.99.

There is also a Villa Del Lago hat to match the shirt we found some time ago. The logo is a patch on the front center of the hat and is $29.99.

The contactless drink stations at El Mercado de Coronado now have signs directing guests on how to use the touch-free machines. They’re actually quite cool!

That’s all for us today, thanks for following along!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

We walked up to the Disney’s Hollywood Studios entrance sign to notice that all of the holiday decor has now been removed. We’ll miss you, Santa Gertie!

Three new pins arrived at The Darkroom. MARVEL Ant-Man, Avengers, and a limited release Stitch and Angel Hanukkah 2022 pins are now available. The Ant-Man pin is $9.99, the Avengers pin is $12.99, and the Hanukkah pin is $17.99.

A quirky new Minnie Mouse beaded hat has hit the shelves at Celebrity 5&10. Mickey-shaped beads in pastel shades decorate the ears, and a beaded bow sits in the center of the cloth hat.

Celebrity 5&10 has a new Walt Disney World 2023 keychain out for $14.99. The keychain features a leather “Walt Disney World” on one side and “2023” on the other with metal Mickey, Minnie, Spaceship Earth, and Cinderella Castle charms.

The new Garden Goodness and Fruity Finds Munchlings series also arrived at Celebrity 5&10. There’s even a giant Acai Bowl Angel plush out that has Angel in a coconut bowl with a blueberry and strawberry on top.

Keystone Clothiers has a fun and colorful new Spider-Man hat in the MARVEL section. Two pins are on this teal hat with a cityscape in the background. You can take the hat home for $29.99.

The new Donald and Daisy Valentine’s Dooney & Bourke Collection arrived at The Majestic. The duo is the perfect pair for the new handbags with pink and red hearts.

A very cute vintage-style Mickey and friends purple backpack arrived at Sunset Club Couture. The backpack has a Mickey and Minnie keychain with two “M”s on the zipper. The backpack is $44.99.

Tower Hotel Gifts has a new Disney Princess Designer Doll, Ariel. She has a long flowing purple dress and gold handbag for $129.99.

Rock Around the Shop has a new “Live Life Loud” white and blue pullover and Rock’n’Roller Coaster youth holographic shirt. We recently found the attraction’s new Loungefly backpack still stocked on the shelves.

For The First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-A-Long closed today for refurbishment.

A fancy purple Star Wars logo hat is at Tatooine Traders. The hat is brightly colored and has Star Wars printed near the brim and on top of the hat for $29.99.

A very reflective notebook is now at Resistance Carts near Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. The hardcover of the notebook has a metallic silver casing, and the inside has the Rebel Starbird and X-wing ships for $24.99.

Need a tote? No, a backpack! Well, now you can have both. Droid Depot has a new navy and orange double-duty tote bag that can also double as a backpack. It also comes with a clear keychain pouch for $59.99.

There is more construction occurring at the top of the building that is near the exit of Toy Story: Midway Mania and behind Woody’s Lunchbox. It appears as though they are working on the roofing for the future building.

Near Slinky Dog Dash, we spotted work happening on the exterior walls of Roundup Rodeo BBQ.

It appears as though artists are sketching and painting a few of our Toy Story pals on the exterior of the restaurant.

EPCOT

After a short break, we left Disney’s Hollywood Studios and stopped over at EPCOT to see the new International Festival of the Arts menu boards out on display in front of a few of the food studios.

Craftsman’s Courtyard, which sits across from Creations near Test Track, was the first menu we spotted.

The 2023 festival decor looks colorful and bright on the other side of the rolling menu board.

The opposite side has the festival map. Here, you see a list of all the food studios, artists, merchandise, and entertainment to expect.

We found other menus like Gourmet Landscapes near Canada and POP Eats near the World Showcase promenade walkway.

There is now a directional sign featuring the Henna artist that returned to the Morocco pavilion earlier last week.

The walkway from Imagination! Pavilion towards Creations has part of its construction walls framed off for the “Drawing on Inspiration” murals soon to come for the festival.

Back in Creations, we found a whimsical yellow youth dress that is inspired by Snow White. Gold apples glitter on the flowy fabric. The dress is in the youth section for $49.99.

Over at Disney’s BoardWalk, we stopped by the future Cake Bake Shop to see how construction has progressed since the upper tower and lower building were gutted.

Construction began on the lobby at Disney’s BoardWalk Inn, fairly close to the new Carousel Coffee.

Thanks for following along today!

The post PHOTO REPORT: Disney’s Hollywood Studios & EPCOT 1/9/2023 (Artwork Added to Round-Up Rodeo BBQ, Beaded Minnie Mouse Ear Hat, Menu Boards Arrive for Festival of the Arts, & More) appeared first on WDW News Today.

We made the first stop of the day inside the Emporium, where we found a cool and spooky Haunted Mansion model kit. We found the Cinderella Castle and Space Mountain model kits last month.

While the Celebration room still had quite a few of the 50th anniversary grand finale Spirit Jerseys and Starbucks tumblers, they were completely sold out of the new holographic 50th anniversary castle Loungefly backpack. The ears have still not arrived.

A rather festive new Morocco pavilion pin is along the pin wall near the back of the shop for $14.99. We previously found Mexico and Canada and await the remaining new country designs.

Hey, Oswald! The lucky rabbit is holding on to the bracelet in the Disney 100 Years of Wonder Pandora Charm set.

More curbs are being refurbished in the hub near the churro cart. A few along Main Street, U.S.A., and the opposite side of the hub have already been done.

Workers at TRON can be seen near the roped off area where the attraction’s new sign will be installed at some point. Workers laid a solvent along the pathway leading up to the attraction.

We hopped aboard the Walt Disney World Railroad soon after our visit to the PeopleMover to check out some of the construction views from the ground. The areas on either side of the tracks leading up to TRON are still in need of a lot of work.

Not much has changed at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co since a few days ago when the gear clock was removed. Doors to the shop were propped open today to reveal an empty interior.

As we made our way into Fantasyland, the line for Space Mountain stretched far down to Tomorrowland Speedway, although the posted wait was 75 minutes.

Seven Dwarfs Mine Train was not much better. The ride had a posted 120 minute wait and wrapped around the attraction down towards The Little Mermaid.

Hundred Acre Goods has a new quilted Winnie the Pooh Loungefly wallet. One side has “Disney Loungefly,” and the other has Eeyore, Piglet, Pooh, and Tigger hanging out in the Hundred Acre Wood.

It appears as though the stand-by entrance sign above Princess Fairytale Hall has been repaired. Earlier this week, the small screen with the posted wait was covered with what looked like a black trash bag.

Inside Sir Mickey’s, Isabel from “Encanto” has a pretty floral purple dress perfect for playing dress-up.

Frontier Trading Post had a slew of new pins today, like this one that read “it’s time to remember the magic” from the 25th anniversary collection.

Sparkling platinum and purple 100th anniversary pins arrived today as well. This is a large 100 Years of Wonder pin with some of the popular characters on it, like Mickey, Minnie, and Tinker Bell.

Two limited edition Pandora: The World of Avatar pins are also available. The large limited release pin is $29.99.

There is also a limited release Avatar The Way of Water pin with bright oranges and blues for $17.99.

A large 50th anniversary pin joins the 100th and 25th anniversary pins. Mickey and friends surround a large Magic Kingdom banner with various instruments. The pin is a limited edition of 4,000 and is $59.99.

More anniversaries! Snow White 85th anniversary pins featuring Snow White and Grumpy and the Evil Queen have hit the shelves. The Snow White pin is a limited edition of 4,000 and is $19.99. The Evil Queen is a limited release pin for $17.99.

To finish the pins we found, there is another Snow White 85th anniversary limited edition of 2,050 pin set. We can see Snow White and her wishing well, the Prince, the Evil Queen, and the Huntsman in various scenes from the movie. The set is $34.99.

Long lines plagued Frontierland, where Big Thunder Mountain Railroad posted an 85 minute wait with the line extending far past the bridge. Splash Mountain had just reopened from a temporary closure, so guests flocked to the stand-by entrance.

After a quick walk around the park, we headed over to Disney’s Contemporary Resort. Race weekend transportation signs were posted around the hotel, and a new ride share waiting area sign was posted up outside near the main entrance.

We then made our way over to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, where we saw work continuing on the Boulder Ridge Villas. Patio Chairs sat wrapped on the lower level of the resort building waiting to be placed.

Our final stop of the day was at Disney’s BoardWalk, where demolition is now moving rapidly on the future Cake Bake Shop. Workers can be seen above cutting out sections of the roofing as they continue to gut the old ESPN building.

That’s all for us here; thanks for following along today!

Happy race day! Trams were in the parking lot, but not for guests to use to take them to their car – these vehicles were for race day participants. We’re ready for them to come back!

We walked in to the park to low crowds, which is always exciting!

Construction walls had been removed from the Guest Relations area near the restrooms to reveal solid green scrim along the pathway to Creations and Connections.

Inside Creations, there is a red Minnie Mouse polka dot cold cup for $19.99.

Near the toys, there is a Moana cold cup with a wooden top. One side features Moana with a crown of flowers, the other side features Moana with the Heart of Te Fiti. The cup is $24.99 at Creations.

Judy Hopps and Nicke Wilde are paw-sitively perfect as new Park Pals! These guys can clip to your shoulder bag and hang out in the parks with your for $11.99 each.

We seem to be missing a festive Figment in the corner of the shop, he must be getting ready for the International Festival of the Arts just around the corner!

A holographic 100 Years of Wonder skort for girls is available for $29.99. There are grey characters and “100”s all along the skort.

Adult and youth versions of the “Disney 100” purple sweatpants are also available. These sweatpants have a holographic puff lettering along the pants-leg and an embroidered Mickey on the upper pocket. The youth version is $34.99 and the adult version is $44.99.

A youth purple 100 Years of Magic Walt Disney World logo hoodie is also in the 100th anniversary section. The hoodies are $44.99 each

A few festival booths have popped up around World Showcase and near Test Track. Moderne festival booth has received its signage already.

Not much has changed at Cool Wash. The planters surrounding the establishment have been slightly extended but otherwise we haven’t seen a lot of progress since it was gutted.

Disney Traders has a new Walt Disney World clear acrylic logo magnet. The magnet is $11.99.

Festival shop markets have also begun to pop up. The future shopping stops feature rainbows encompassing the different icons of the pavilion countries with Spaceship Earth.

The snowman hoola hoop has finally arrived at the dolphin exhibit in The Seas! It’s fun to watch the dolphins swim through the various hoops.

The pavement in China is still being redone. Large areas of patchwork concrete lay around the back of the pavilion featuring old and new areas.

Festival market booths still have their holiday garb from Festival of the Holidays although they have received new signs for the upcoming Festival of the Arts.

The Spaceship Earth pattern makes up the backing of the festival market booth.

The tiny banners that usually displayed for the current festival at the small town in the Germany pavilion have been removed to make way for the Festival of the Arts banners coming soon.

At the American Adventure, the Soul of Jazz: An American Adventure exhibit has been permanently removed taking with it two ground displays and artwork and wording that would sit on the back wall. The Soul of Jazz exhibit featured historical information and artifacts related to Jazz and its importance to American art. Soul of Jazz also featured Joe Gardner, from the Pixar Movie “Soul”.

Just outside the pavilion, the old exhibit banners have been replaced with “Creating Tradition” banners featuring The American Heritage Gallery just in side.

Next door at the Art of Disney, Nightmare Before Christmas and Toy Story Beastly Kingdom figurines are available for $34.99.

Minnie Mouse is printed on this faux leather Disneyland Paris 30th anniversary bag with pink scarf at Plume et Palette in the France pavilion. The bag has a small “Minnie Paris” printed on the bottom right corner and is $44.99.

We stopped off at the new Cake Bake Shop along Disney’s BoardWalk to take a peek at construction. The upper tower has been almost completely gutted.

Back at EPCOT inside Creations, we found a new Disney characters blue, pink, and yellow gradient throw blanket. The blanket is $59.99.

We found a few of our favorite lucky rabbits including Thumper, the White Rabbit, and Judy Hopps on this rotating Lunar New Year serving dish tray. The tray is $44.99.

On our way out, we stopped by the Disney Vacation Club sign to see that new silhouettes had been painted onto the billboard. Now Goofy is driving the whole gang out!

It’s a super foggy day, why is it always foggy on New Year’s Eve? The castle was barely visible in the early morning skyline.

Over at Uptown Jewelers, we found the purr-fect pair of The Lion King Crislu earrings featuring a young Simba like the markings that Rafiki makes on the tree.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. appears the same from the outside, where the 1994 Tomorrowland elements were removed from it a few days prior.

PeopleMover was down for most of the day so we had to get our views of TRON from the ground. A few of the vehicles were testing today without audio, although weights continue to be used.

The long banners atop Princess Fairytale Hall and Sir Mickey’s are still missing, and one of the stand-by entrance screens has been covered.

Inside Sir Mickey’s, there is a very cute leather-like princess heart-shaped handbag. It comes with a removable strap and pink accents for $24.99.

There is also a fun princess cup with straw that has Mulan, Belle, Aurora, and a few others. The cup has liquid-filled walls with glitter that settles rather quickly on the bottom. The cup is near the handbag by the registers and is $14.99.

Crowds were pretty low today as we made our way around the park. We expect more to show up later on in the day as the park will be open late and feature two showings of “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks again. We were going to hop aboard “it’s a small world” to check on the condition of the rather dirty attraction boats but it was down when we passed.

We passed by Pirates of the Caribbean to check on the scrim that has been wrapped around the small courtyard area in the Lightning Lane queue. We didn’t see any visible changes from the outside of the entrance and it isn’t clear yet what is happening behind the scrim.

Cinderella’s Carriage is out on display with a PhotoPass photographer out front! Leafy foliage is wrapped around the carriage which should only be here for the New Year’s celebrations.

We hopped over to BVG at Disney’s Contemporary Resort where we found a new set of 100 Years of Wonder Eras journals. This set comes with three vintage-inspired journals featuring Disneyland logos.

We love this minty-colored journal with the old school Disneyland on the front! What’s even more fun is these journals have a small text on the back that reminds you that it is not a valid ticket.

Next to the journals was a glimmering 50th anniversary Mickey Mouse on The Haunted Mansion Buggy Funko POP! Figurine. Mickey wears the signature groundskeeper outfit while holding a lantern in the infamous doom buggy. He’s a little late to the party but we love him just the same! Are you picking one up?

We popped downstairs to see what was happening in the lower lobby level. Signs were posted for a fire alarm test planned for that morning although we did not hear one during our visit that was at the same time.

We then hopped over to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa. Just look at that tree! The holiday decor around the parks and resorts will be up for a few more days.

Construction continues on the back buildings at the resort. It appears as though much of the exterior work on the balconies and staircases is nearing completion and the roofing is still being worked on.

We’re starting to see more progress at Narcoossee’s on the water, which has been closed for quite some time. The upper panels under the roof are still blocked out with a wood piece but the roof appears to be next up to receive a refresh.

Signs are up along the dock to the boat launch that inform guests that the watercraft will suspend service from 45 minutes before the fireworks to 30 minutes after the fireworks. We don’t see this sign out too often.

Our last stop of the day was at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where a DJ booth has been set up in front of the Chinese Theatre. Lighting and speakers are placed on either side of the booth where there will be a dance party and a short countdown to midnight!

That’s all for us today, have a safe and Happy New Year!

It’s a beautiful day to be at the park!

Inside the Emporium there is a new Aristocats garnish pick and holder set. The holder for the picks is the piano that Scat Cat plays all the way through the floors of the dilapidated residence the cats stay in one night. The picks feature some of our favorite felines including Thomas O’Malley, Marie, and her brothers.

Loki fans will love this new variants Marvel pin on the pin wall for $17.99. I spy an Alligator Loki!

Near the shirts and Spirit Jerseys in the fashions room, there is a new grey polka dot Minnie Mouse bow puff-sleeved zip-up jacket and sweatpants. The set is sold seperately. The zip-up is $64.99 and the pants are $54.99. Both pieces feature an embroidered Minnie Mouse covering her face with a bow.

Better late than never? “Happy Holidays” reads on this new Mickey and Friends peppermint bark and reusable tin. On the back we can see the faces of Mickey and Minnie Mouse on the candy pieces inside. The bark is $19.99 at The Confectionery.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. is still missing its 1994 Tomorrowland elements including the gear clock and tower mural. The gears situated above the entrance were removed earlier this year.

While the crowds weren’t too bad this morning, long lines plagued the park early on like this 95 minute wait for Seven Dwarfs Mine Train that stretched around the attraction almost down to The Little Mermaid.

Hundred Acre Goods has a new “Best Friends Forever” Mickey Mouse head necklace set for $24.99. One of the necklaces is gold and another is rose gold.

We stopped by “it’s a small world” to see if any cleaning had been done on the boats in the attraction, although they still look like they could use a good scrubbing.

Preparations for the upcoming New Year’s Eve DJ dance parties can be seen throughout the park. The area above The Country Bear Jamboree has a large banner to ring in the new year. Cinderella Castle and Rockettower Plaza in Tomorrowland will also have DJs.

Zanzibar Trading Co. in Adventureland seems to be missing its shop sign. A few days ago we noticed some refresh being done to the pillars of the mock shop so it’s possible it could also be receiving a small refresh.

We hopped aboard PeopleMover after a slightly delayed opening. The lower area at TRON is looking a lot tidier as we’ve seen crews cleaning and pressure washing daily. We are waiting for the large attraction sign to be installed any day!

Big Top Souvenirs has an array of new Disney’s Animal Kingdom art on phone cases, ornaments, and magnets.

We’re wild about the new art giving Animal Kingdom some love. The designs are bright and colorful and do a great job of featuring the animals.

All these options are customizable and we have also found a few options pre-made around the parks. What do you think of these new designs?

After a brief hiatus from the park, we made our way back to check out the showing of “Fantasy in the Sky” fireworks! The New Year’s Eve fireworks are shows nightly on December 30th and 31st at 6:30p.m. and 11:50p.m. Watch this year’s showing here!

DJ Dance Parties are in full swing! We stopped by this one in Tomorrowland at Rockettower Plaza stage. The dance floor was packed with guests dancing to music that played around the park.

Crowds were moderate as we made our way out to EPCOT. It wasn’t incredibly crowded, but definitely less-so than on December 31st!

Our last stop of the day was at World Traveler in EPCOT, where we found another piece of the 50th anniversary grand finale merchandise. Check out the newest Spirit Jersey here!

That’s all for today, thanks for following along!

As we walked up to the tap points to enter the park, we noticed the usual large crowds waiting as well.

Hollywood Boulevard was packed with guests early on, making their way to the next attraction. Getting across the street to the shops was a battle, but we made it!

At our first stop at The Darkroom, we found a colorful new Disney Skyliner Pin. Look at how cute Mickey and Minnie are in their own car!

MARVEL fans will love this Infinity Stone Gauntlet digital watch cover for $19.99 also at The Darkroom. It is a stretchy rubber casing with each of the stones around the watch border.

Festive (and a little late) new Chip ‘n’ Dale, Minnie Mouse, and Goofy ornaments can be found along the ornament wall at the back of Celebrity 5&10. Each ornament features the character’s face on one side and name on the other. Each ornament is $23.99.

A sprinkle of gold glitter surrounds the face while pixie dust sparkles on the ears of the ornaments.

In the Vault Collection portion of the store, we found a few new 100 Years of Wonder merchandise items, including this rather silver Mickey Mouse figurine.

Keystone Clothiers has a new Black Panther Wakanda Forever Namor Spear for $29.99.

These new Star Wars mystery Grogu plush boxes are so adorable! You can get one of six Grogus participating in various mischievous activities like playing with his food, meditating, and eating. This plush is $14.99 at Keystone Clothiers.

Do you “heart” Star Wars? You will after seeing the newest Spirit Jersey!

We made our way down Sunset Boulevard to Mouse About Town, where there is a new Chip ‘n’ Dale “Better together” floral waffle thermal shirt for $39.99. Those two are always getting into trouble.

The views on Sunset today were unmatched! We made our way down to take a ride on Tower of Terror before realizing the wait time was 120 minutes shortly after park open. We opted for the coffee line instead.

Rock Around the Shop has two new 2023 items — a magnet and acrylic ornament featuring the main mouse himself walking around the four theme parks. The magnet is $14.99, and the ornament is $19.99.

As we headed back down Sunset towards Hollywood Boulevard, we stopped at Reel Vogue for these cute “Cars” shirts. There is a short-sleeved “Dino Park” orange and teal youth shirt for $19.99.

“TRex Terror” reads on this green and beige long-sleeve top for youths. On the front of the shirt, you can see a prehistoric-looking Lightning McQueen and Tow Mater running for their lives from a towering t-rex. A dino and palm trees can be seen on the sleeves. The shirt is $34.99.

Frozen Fractal Gifts has an Anna headband set. There are three headbands in the set that match her color story in “Frozen II.” It also goes along with a few of the new Frozen apparel by Brittney Lee we found at EPCOT. The headbands are $24.99.

Look at this guy! A large and smiley Wampa plush is the latest Cuddlez stuffed animal that you can find at Tatooine Traders. The Wampa is $39.99 and can be found in a large basket near the Create-Your-Own Lightsaber station.

The Resistance Carts in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge held more merchandise for us, including this awesome new X-Wing Fighter Pilot Jacket. There is also one for adults!

Jessie’s Trading Post has a “Howdy Partner!” vintage distressed shirt with Woody giving a friendly hat nod. The shirt is $19.99.

Long lines plagued the park early on, with many wait times topping over 100 minutes shortly after park open. The line for Slinky Dog Dash pushed to the edge of the park and was at 160 minutes before 10:30 a.m.

Not much change has been happening at Roundup Rodeo BBQ since our discovery of the large pencil. There appear to be two new metal posts installed on either side of the entrance sign, but it’s not clear what these are for just yet.

After escaping the masses at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, we took the Skyliner over to Disney’s Riviera Resort. DVC members can pick up this “Let the good times begin” Mickey Mouse youth shirt for $19.99 at La Boutique.

On the other side of the shop, we found a few more new resort-exclusive pieces. A hat, scarf, and this woven bag are among the newest additions to the resort’s merchandise collection.

We took a walk outside the resort and noticed some refurbishment announced for the Bocce Ball court area. The green turf is peeling and badly distressed, a common theme we’ve been noticing around Walt Disney World as of late.

That’s all for us today! Thanks for following along!

We started our morning off at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. The sign has finally arrived back at Kona Cafe. It’s now lit and suspended from above.

Moana Mercantile has a new 100 Years of Wonder embroidered baseball cap for $29.99. The hat features a vintage-looking Mickey with purple pants and a silver jacket to go along with the anniversary’s color scheme.

After a quick ride on the Monorail to get to the park, we stopped at Guest Relations to pick up some of the new Key to the World cards that are now available. They are bright and colorful with some of our favorite characters on them!

We especially love this orange Woody card. Yee-haw!

A new Stitch plush is now available at the Emporium for $22.99.

A fancy new pair of pink embroidered ears has hit the shelves!

Four new succulent pins are now out on the pin wall. There is a hunny pot from Winnie the Pooh, Mickey, Dumbo, and Scrump from Lilo and Stitch for $14.99 each.

Vision joins the MARVEL super hero pins! You can take one home for $11.99.

The Confectionary has a new Christmas candy cane peppermint popcorn! The red and green popcorn is candy-coated with peppermint pieces. You can get it on its own or create a mix at the popcorn counter near the back of the shop.

Bonjour Village Gifts has a new Beastly Kingdom Ariel and Rapunzel diorama stages for $34.99 each. The princesses appear to be coming out of a scene from a book with their respective movie titles.

The usual influx of long lines from the holiday crowds plagued the park today, with a few wait times ranging from 60-105 minutes an hour after park opening.

There’s a super cute gingerbread Stitch ornament at Ye Olde Christmas Shoppe for $22.99. What we wouldn’t give to have one of those cookies!

There is also a new Happy Hanukkah gold dreidel set near the back of the shop. It’s a metal dreidel with holder for $49.99.

There is a new The Muppet Christmas Carol 30th Anniversary mystery pin set at Frontier Trading Post for $24.99 each.

On our way out of the park, we heard the Walt Disney Railroad testing again, but with audio on multiple trains!

We spotted the Walter E. Disney, Roy O. Disney, and Lilly Belle out on the tracks today!

Thanks for following along!

We made our way down Main Street, U.S.A. to check out what was new at the Emporium to get out of the cold for a few.

There is a new plaid JOY dish towel available in the seasonal section. The towel is red and white with a plaid Mickey Mouse “O” in the center of the phrase. The towel is $19.99.
