Set the kitchen timer to midnight! We just spotted an adorable new kitchen accessory that’s fit for a princess.

Emporium Sales Floor

We were busy running around Walt Disney World during Cast Member re-opening reviews yesterday. We took note of the new mobile order process, discovered what it was like to revisit our favorite characters, and experienced what it is like to shop at Disney World. While scoping out the Emporium, we found a NEW item that is elegant enough to wear to the ball…or at least to the kitchen counter.

We’ve been anticipating the arrival of the Cinderella apron since we spotted the new princess-themed kitchen accessories at World of Disney. Naturally, her apron was the last to arrive. (Typical, Cindy. She always has to make an entrance!)

Cinderella Apron

The sparkly and dainty apron is $34.99 and almost too cute to get dirty while you scrub the floors and clean the fireplace.

It goes so well with the Prince Charming apron we found earlier too! It’s a true fairy tale match.

This apron is cute enough to drive the Stepsisters mad with envy! What’s next? Comfy glass slippers to help you waltz around the house? Well, if the glass shoe fits!

Love Funko Pops? Love Disney theme parks? We’ve got something new just for you!

Jungle Cruise

Funko has been busy pumping out more and more cute figurines to add to our collection. They recently got a little ahead of themselves and released a Nightmare Before Christmas set 6 months before Halloween. (We’re not complaining!) It seemed like they made a Funko Pop for just about everything Disney related…until now!

Ladies and gentlemen, let us present to you the eighth wonder of the world…this brand new Jungle Cruise Skipper Funko Pop! Right on time too! This adventurous cutie will be available to purchase on shopDisney the day Magic Kingdom reopens on July 11th. Coincidence? We think not!

Jungle Cruise Skipper Funko Pop

This guy will go perfectly with the modeled after the Haunted Mansion Butler. What’s next? A Tower of Terror Bellhop Funko? We’re SO ready.

Haunted Mansion Funko Set

Our only hope is that Funko continues to model figurines after Cast Members and iconic Disney attractions. We would LOVE to build a whole Magic Kingdom replica filled with adorable Funkos!

Want something to match your Skipper Funko? Check out this ADORABLE Jungle Cruise dress we found at Magic Kingdom!

Yesterday, we stepped inside Magic Kingdom for the first time since mid-March to attend a special Cast Member preview.

Magic Kingdom on cast member preview day, July 2020

We spent the day exploring and seeing how the park has changed now that so many new health and safety measures have been implemented. We checked out the modified entertainment offerings, rode some of our favorite attractions, and hit up some shops and restaurants ahead of the park’s official opening to the general public on July 11th.

Since yesterday’s event was a Cast Member preview, we didn’t have to scan our MagicBands or use Magic Kingdom’s fingerprint scanners for entry because we had special tickets. We’ve been curious about how Disney World would address this issue since fingerprint scanners are one of the most frequently touched surfaces at the parks. They’re stationed at the front entrance of every park and previously every guest needed to scan their fingerprint for entry.

Today, the New York Times confirmed that Disney World will no longer be using fingerprint scanners. The parks will instead shift to touchless entry with guests only needing to scan their MagicBands or park tickets.

Magic Kingdom

Touchless park entry joins the ranks along with several other contactless systems Disney is strongly encouraging guests to adopt. These include Mobile Dine Check-In, Mobile Order at quick-service locations, Contactless Menus, and Online Check-In at hotels. Most of these new systems are done via your My Disney Experience app on your smartphone, so make sure you have that set up and have plenty of battery life for your day in the park!

Mobile Dine Check-In Feature

Many of these new systems may evolve or change over time and we’ll be sure to keep you posted — especially once the big grand reopening day arrives!

See what our first day back in Magic Kingdom was like here!

For the initial phase of Disney World’s reopening, most character meals have been put on hold with only a few exceptions.

But in addition to the character breakfast at Topolino’s Terrace that’s now underway and a modified character dining experience at Garden Grill Restaurant when Epcot reopens July 15th, we’ve just confirmed a third character meal will be happening at Disney World!

According to Four Seasons Resort Orlando’s website, their Good Morning Breakfast with Goofy and His Pals will be returning on Saturdays!

The character breakfast will take place at Ravello with health and safety measures in place. Instead of a buffet, the meal will be served plated and reservations will be required. To book your table, you can call 1 (407) 313-7777.

Open Kitchen at Ravello

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for any additional character meals we see returning, but in the meantime, see what our experience was like eating at a Trattoria al Forno’s Bon Voyage Adventure breakfast now that the characters have been temporarily removed!
