PHOTO REPORT: Magic Kingdom 12/13/17 (Main Street Fountain Removal, New Merchandise, Club 33, 2018 Stuff, ETC.)

WDWNT on December 21, 2017

Our latest photo report brings us to the Magic Kingdom on the verge of what is expected to be one of the busiest holiday seasons in its entire history. Let’s see what’s new and exciting around the park, shall we?

Welcome to the Magic Kingdom

An advertisement for Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs 80th anniversary can be found outside of the park.

More 2018 merchandise is trickling in.

This Chip and Dale plush set with them hiding under an ear hat is just about the cutest thing I have ever seen.

Clubbin’

Work continues on the new Club 33 location for the Magic Kingdom in the Adventureland.

This and That

Several new MagicBands were recently released.

Tick… tock… tick… tock…

SURPRISE! The sushi is already gone from the Cool Ship in Tomorrowland.

D-Tech on Demand in Tomorrowland now offers some Space Mountain phone cases you won’t find anywhere else.

They also have designs for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party.

The Dress Shop items have moved into Uptown Jewelers now, which makes marginally more sense than the House of Magic.

It hasn’t been the most pleasant week here…

Farewell Fountain

The beloved fountain near First Aid on Main Street has been removed and paved over, likely to clear a path for an exit bypass that will be used during the busy holiday weeks at the park.

I’m curious to see if it returns…

Mousecellaneous

The Mickey Mouse Ray-Bans are in stock at the Sunglass Hut in Adventureland.

To advertise the arrival, the location has a giant pair of the glasses… They wouldn’t let me try them on…

Yup, it has been cold.

Rose Gold mouse ears are plentiful in every park at the moment.

Minnie’s Bake Shop has been rebranded as Minnie’s Sweets, with several items repackaged and some new items introduced.

A Baymax ear hat has been released.

REVIEW: Sushi Lands in The Cool Ship at the Magic Kingdom

WDWNT on December 1, 2017

The Cool Ship in Tomorrowland recently started selling sushi. Let me say that again in case you think that was a typo… The Cool Ship (a large red rocket ship stand) in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom (the park that has had challenges serving guests mildly exotic food at Skipper Canteen) is selling sushi (the Japanese preparation and serving of specially prepared vinegared rice combined with varied ingredients such as chiefly seafood, vegetables, and occasionally tropical fruits).

The Cool Ship is steps away from the Tomorrowland Speedway, because if you’re going to eat sushi at the Magic Kingdom, it is best to do so while inhaling gas fumes. There’s a reason Tomorrowland Speedway cast members get hazard pay.

The Pizza Frusta is already gone (shocking) and this fancy glass case now houses the sushi offerings and gives guests a preview to assure them it will at least look edible.

YUM, LET’S EAT SOME SUSHI FROM THE FUTURE!

California Sushi Roll $4.99

The California Roll is probably going to be the most popular offering here, so let’s start with that. Ummm, it was good. Surprisingly good. This isn’t going to change your life, but the fact that this is something I wouldn’t turn down if offered again is pretty amazing. It has been pointed out that these offerings are just sent over from the Mitsukoshi locations at Epcot, so they are of the same quality and taste. I enjoyed the optional eel sauce on the side, but it may not be for everyone based on how salty it can be. All dishes come with four pieces, wasabi, ginger, and there’s the eel sauce with this one if you would like.

Spicy Sushi Roll $4.99

The spicy roll consists of a spicy sauce and Yellow Fin Tuna and was my personal favorite. It has a nice kick to it and tasted fresh, probably the thing you would least expect from theme park sushi sold at the Magic Kingdom. I’d love to write a hilarious review where this was bad, but I can not tell a lie: this wasn’t unenjoyable. There was supposed to be a sauce with this, but they couldn’t find it…

Edamame Salad $3.49

The edamame salad is just OK, but could be refreshing and is a nice healthy Disney Dining Plan snack option. That being said, the sushi rolls are also one snack credit, so you might as well just get one of those. Also, this edamame salad could probably use a little more edamame SINCE IT IS IN THE NAME.

REVIEW: “Pizza Frusta” Mangled-Snacks Arrive in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom

WDWNT on June 12, 2017

The Cool Ship in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom is now selling Pizza Frusta, described as being “a folded pizza-like snack that is easy to eat on-the-go”.

The Cool Ship is located near Space Mountain at the Magic Kingdom

The Pizza Frusta is stored in a glass display that keeps it warm

Lets try this adequately described “pizza-like snack”…

The Cool Ship menu, which basically includes soft drinks, a souvenir cup, and Pizza Frusta

Pizza Frusta ($7.99) Available in Cheese and Pepperoni & Sausage

Pizza Frusta

Despite looking like Fast Food pizza that got into a massive car wreck, this wasn’t the most abominable item at Walt Disney World. That being said, they aren’t great either.

Tomato and cheese Pizza Frusta

The crust is kind of like a rather large puff pastry, crispy on the exterior, but doughy almost to the point of being uncooked on the inside.

Pepperoni and sausage Pizza Frusta

The cheese and meats are about the same as a Disney counter service pizza, not of the greatest quality, nor inedible. If you have ever had Digiorno frozen pizzas, then you know the flavor.

Cheese Pizza Frusta

I prefer the pepperoni and sausage one as it is at least a little more interesting, but choosing between these is essentially like picking your poison.

I personally would skip the Pizza Frusta unless you have kids in your party craving pizza at the Magic Kingdom. In that case, it’s a fast and easy way to grab a counter service pizza at the park.
