Disney4me Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 HI from the Magic Kingdom! Our visit this week found some construction updates, almost-too-cute-to-eat Easter treats, and lots of new merchandise we just have to add to our Disney collection. Hello from the Magic Kingdom In fact, before we even got into the Magic Kingdom we found some updates, so let’s start with… What’s New at Magic Kingdom’s Entrance There is a lot of work going on in the area between the Contemporary Resort and Tomorrowland before you even enter the park.

The sweetest stop on Main Street, the Confectionery, has some colorfully iced cupcakes with swirls (and ears!). Swirl-Iced Cupcakes Briar Rose Gold fans — grab your Briar Rose Gold cupcake here for your next Instagram photo!

Easter Caramel Apples Easter Caramel Apples You’ll find these at Big Top Treats in Fantasyland as well. Easter Caramel Apples We spotted some outdoor seating at The Plaza Restaurant. These tables usually don’t open until noon (and the Cast Member we spoke with also said they only open then if there are enough servers to cover the extra tables). The Plaza Restaurant Outdoor Seating The Plaza Restaurant Outdoor Seating Would you prefer to sit indoors or outdoors? The Plaza Restaurant Outdoor Seating What’s New in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland? Perhaps this heading should be what’s missing in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland…that’s right, the spitting Camel at The Magic Carpets of Aladdin ride is missing. Where are you, Spitting Camel? We did spot a PhotoPass photographer taking advantage of the dry-photo opp! Where are you, Spitting Camel? Rumor has it that the Camel is just out for a refurb and should be back, so you may still need to watch out for the camel’s old water tricks when he returns! What’s New in Magic Kingdom’s Fanstasyland? In addition to the Easter caramel apples at Main Street Confectionery, Big Top Treats is offering some cute Easter cake pops.
