Say goodbye to the old maroon and white monorail cast costumes…
Walt Disney World Monorail cast members are set to get new costumes, replacing the current color scheme which has been around for 20+ years. The new costume will be white, blue, and yellow. The costume will also incorporate a conductor’s hat similar to those worn by some cast members who work on the Walt Disney World Railroad.
The costumes are set to debut very soon, so keep an eye out for them!
FuelRod charging batteries are now available for Guests to purchase at two additional locations within Epcot.

Effective December 11th, 2016, Enchanted Tales with Belle will no longer be offered during morning Extra Magic Hours at the Magic Kingdom.
The attraction has been offered as part of the morning Extra Magic Hours since it opened in 2012.
We told you it was coming a few days ago, but now the new Walt Disney World monorail cast member costumes have debuted.
The new costume features a grey shirt and navy blue pants/shorts. There is also a patch with all 12 monorail colors, including some with the deltas in the color patch. The pockets on the shirt also resemble the deltas on the monorails.
So, what do you think of these new costumes?
Since the closure of the Mexico margarita stand at Epcot, guests have been wondering just when a suitable replacement would arrive. That suitable replacement will open in early 2017.
Choza Tequila, located just steps away from the pavilion’s main entrance, will serve handcrafted and frozen margaritas and feature a well-stocked tequila bar. The outdoor location will also feature tacos, chips with salsa and guacamole, and more.
Disney has yet to officially announce this project, but should soon.
Guests at D23’s Destination D event are going to be the very first to sport the new style of MagicBand for Walt Disney World.
The new MagicBand is indeed the puck style that was rumored a few months back. As you can see, it can be worn in bands, keychains, and possibly other holders.
No further details are available at this time, but we expect to have more info later today.
Our thanks to @ParksNStuff on twitter for the pics!
We are beginning to get more details on the MagicBand 2, just announced and released this morning at D23’s Destination D event.
The MagicBand 2 will be mailed to Walt Disney World annual pass holders starting in December 2016. In January 2017, resort guests will start to receive the new MagicBands as well. Around the same time, the retail versions of MagicBand 2 will be released, along with the new accessories such as the keychains.
As for the MagicBand 2 itself, the puck inside is removalble only via a small screwdriver. The band distributed today does not include it, but the accessories, such as the keychains, will include a small screwdriver for guests to remove the puck from the band and move it into the alternate holder.
Now having the MagicBand 2 in my hand, I will say it is not uncomfortable or too bulky as I had worried. It is more akin to wearing a watch now, but not a huge adjustment.
The new MagicBand 2 works the same as the original band and light-up effects at touch points with specialty versions of the band will continue to be made.
