The Most Romantic Places in Magic Kingdom

Post author By touringplans.com
Post date January 23, 2021

As Valentine’s Day approaches in a few weeks we’ve pulled together romantic places in each of the theme parks. We’ve explored the places you can spark romance in EPCOT, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom. But now it is time for the park that most people associate with fairy tale romance — Magic Kingdom. Let’s explore some of the most romantic places in Magic Kingdom.

Tony’s Town Square Restaurant
Be Our Guest Restaurant
Cinderella’s Royal Table
Prince Charming’s Golden Carrousel
Cinderella’s Wishing Well
Cinderella Castle Hub
Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room

Right now some of our favorite romantic spots, like the second story of the Main Street Train Station and the Main Street Ice Cream Parlor are closed. But, as you can see from the list above there are plenty of other options. Tony’s Town Square Restaurant receives mixed reviews, but there’s no denying the romantic atmosphere. This restaurant is based on the cute couple in “Lady and the Tramp” and is the only table service restaurant in Magic Kingdom with outdoor seating.

The Most Romantic Places in Magic Kingdom — Magic Kingdom Reopening Be Our Guest Dining Room July 2020

Two fairy tale restaurants are both located in Fantasyland. There’s no denying the charming atmosphere of both Be Our Guest Restaurant and Cinderella’s Royal Table. You really cannot go wrong with either one for a romantic meal, though Cinderella’s Royal Table is generally not as loud as Be Our Guest and has lovely views.

Also in Fantasyland is Prince Charming’s Regal Carrousel. This picturesque carousel is at the heart of Fantasyland and affords wonderful views as you make your rounds on the ride. Snap some cute photos and enjoy a romantic ride together.

Two more Cinderella-themed destinations are great romantic spots. Cinderella’s Wishing Well is located on the walkway between the Castle and Tomorrowland, near where Merida would normally have her meet and greet. In front of Cinderella Castle is the hub which now has an expanse of “grass” and a little fountain on either side of Main Street. This is a perfect spot for photos or just relaxing together and taking in the views and music.

Finally, Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room is a romantic spot because it is a tropical hideaway. Whether tiki culture is your thing or not, this attraction is a classic. It’s a great place to rest your feet and sit close together as the tropical birds serenade you.

What’s your favorite romantic spot in Magic Kingdom? Is there any place you would add to our list?

The Regular Disney Character Cavalcades are BACK at Magic Kingdom

Post author By touringplans.com
Post date January 3, 2021

Although the holiday decorations are still up, the Christmas and winter holiday sparkle is starting to fade at Magic Kingdom. Yesterday our team was welcomed to the Magic Kingdom with the return of the regular character cavalcades at Magic Kingdom.

The Regular Disney Character Cavalcades are BACK at Magic Kingdom — Mickey and friends character cavalcade at Magic Kingdom – January 2, 2021

These character cavalcades are individual sections of two different parades. The regular parade that would normally march through Magic Kingdom at 3:00 p.m. every day is now broken up into individual sections that run along the parade route of Magic Kingdom at unscheduled time. These are also cavalcades that are portions of the Move It! Shake It! MousekeDance It! Street Party.

It looks a little strange to see the Christmas decorations still up with the regular cavalcades moving through the streets, but we expect the holiday decorations to be packed away very, very soon. If you want to make sure you don’t miss out on seeing your favorite character, check out our tips on viewing the character cavalcades at Magic Kingdom.

Have you visited Magic Kingdom and seen any of the cavalcades? Which is your favorite?

PHOTOS – A Park-Free Day Calls for Resort Hopping

Post author By touringplans.com
Post date December 28, 2020

For one reason or another you may find yourself with a day at Walt Disney World without going into the theme parks. One of the best ways to spend such a day is to hop around some of the Disney resort hotels. One of the best places to do this is the Magic Kingdom resorts including Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort, Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort, Disney’s Contemporary Resort, and Disney’s Wilderness Lodge.

That’s exactly what Ivonne on our team (@servoisnaked on Twitter and Instagram) did yesterday.

Do I Have to Wear a Mask When Taking a Photo in Disney World? Here’s What We Experienced Today.

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date July 7, 2020

Wow. We really spent the day back in Magic Kingdom. It’s crazy to think about!

Magic Kingdom

Of course, there is a LOT that’s different in a reopened Magic Kingdom and we took a good look around today at the Cast Member preview (thanks to an invite from some friends!). Even the way you take your picture with Cinderella Castle has changed! Yep, let’s take a look at everything different about snapping that iconic pic and pics in general!

Keep in mind that this is a Cast Member preview so everything is subject to change. We’ll be reporting in throughout the rest of the week so follow along with DFB for the most up-to-date information.

The Castle looks different.

First of all, you might have heard that the Castle looks preeeetty different. This iconic structure is getting totally glammed-up ahead of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary with new golden hues, royal blues, and a soft pink color!

Cinderella Castle

Keep in mind that the refurbishment on the Castle isn’t quite finished, so there were still cranes up with workers painting today. Depending on how much longer they’re working, this might be a factor when you’re taking your Castle pics.

Cinderella Castle

One thing is for sure — your Cinderella Castle pictures are going to look pretty different than they did before! Hopefully, your outfit doesn’t clash with that pretty pink!

You’ll have to wear your mask.

Beyond that, you might have to wear your mask in pictures. After chatting with a PhotoPass Cast Member, we were informed that face coverings are required at all times in the Disney parks and that includes during your Castle photoshoot for the time being. Now, this may change as the parks reopen to guests but it’s definitely a possibility.

Magic Kingdom Mask

Just in case you do need to keep your mask on for a photo, wear a cute one and practice smiling with your eyes so you’re happy with your pic when you take it. You could even get one with a character’s smile on it or one of our AWESOME DFB face masks to help turn it into a totally Disney-rific accessory.

PhotoPass photographers have new protocols.

Finally, if you enlist a PhotoPass photographer to help you snag the perfect Castle pic, there are going to be some changes to the protocol. For one, photographers will no longer be able to handle your personal device, so if you want them to snap a pic for you you’re going to need to get it THROUGH the PhotoPass service. Or you can always as a friend/member of your group to take one for you.

Main Street

They’ll also keep their distance as much as possible during your interaction. They’ll still use your MagicBand or Card to link photos to your account, but they’ll do it as quickly and as distanced as possible.

So there you have it! Now you can keep these three changes in mind when you’re heading to Magic Kingdom to snap that perfect Cinderella Castle picture. Follow along with DFB for all of the latest reopening updates from IN the parks!

What do you think of Cinderella Castle’s new pink look? Tell us in the comments!

See All of the Splash Mountain Merchandise Available (For Now…) in Magic Kingdom

Post author By disneyfoodblog.com
Post date July 7, 2020

We are LIVE in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom today ahead of the park’s upcoming reopening to guests on Saturday, July 11th.

Splash Mountain

We are here thanks to a friend who brought us along for today’s Cast Member preview. So far, we’ve visited Happy Haunts in the Haunted Mansion, seen some old friends, and taken a splash on Splash Mountain. Of course, if you’ve been keeping up with the latest news about Splash Mountain, then you know the attraction will be closing to be reimagined with a full re-themeing inspired by The Princess and the Frog.

So, not only were the lines to ride Splash Mountain longer than those at other attractions we’ve ridden today… the nearby Briar Patch — the ride’s accompanying gift shop — was experiencing some lines all its own as fans were hoping to get some commemorative Splash Mountain merchandise!

Let’s take a look…

Splash Mountain merchandise

A small selection of t-shirts and hoodies can still be found.

And, as of this morning, there was still some plush available…

Splash Plushes

Frames for your PhotoPass picture to remember your BIG SPLASH on Splash are available, too.

You can also find the Splash Mountain Mickey Ear Hat ornament.

The Park Pal that we recently spotted in Disney Springs is here at the Patch, too.

And for all our fellow mug collectors… “Today’s Forecast” features a “High Chance of Showers…”

Splash Mountain merchandise

We can vouch for that!

Now, as far as getting the merchandise… guest are directed to line up outside of the store, so you can’t just stop in after riding the attraction. Once inside, you’ll notice things like distancing markers on the ground, and plexiglass installed in front of the registers.

The Briar Patch

A manager informed us that items are going fast (and we noticed in particular that folks were really going for the plush).

The Briar Patch

But there is no limit as to how much guests may purchase… at least not now. We’ll be keeping you posted on all the goings on around Magic Kingdom today and again later this week as Walt Disney World prepares to welcome guests again to the parks this weekend!
