We bring you a lot of stories every single day. Sometimes it’s hard to keep up. So in case you missed anything from our feed, we have rounded up all our stories in one place to get the news at a glance. Here is your Daily Recap for Saturday, July 31, 2021.
Walt Disney World
Magic Kingdom
- Join us as we venture throughout the park to see just what lies in store in the many lands of Magic Kingdom in our photo report.
- A new addition to the menu at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café is a chocolate Bundt cake with purple icing drizzle. We stopped by to give it a try (and listen to Sonny Eclipse, of course).
- In preparation for the World’s Most Magical Celebration, much of the Magic Kingdom is undergoing refurbishment, including Be Our Guest Restaurant. Repainting has already begun on the rockwork outside the entry, and it seems it will soon expand to the castle.
- Walls went up recently around sections of Frontierland, signaling an upcoming refurbishment. We stopped by this morning to check in on progress and found that most of the boardwalk has been covered in tarps.
