We thought we’d start your week off with a few cool news updates from the various Disney destinations.

A New Way to Start the Day at Magic Kingdom Park Begins Today

Starting today, you can experience the opening of Magic Kingdom Park with some new enhancements!

For those who have experienced the park’s “opening moment” during previous visits, they may recall waiting at the front of the park to kick off the day.

Beginning today you will be allowed to enter the Main Street, U.S.A. area of the park even earlier than the park’s scheduled opening time. This will allow you time to savor the charm of Main Street, U.S.A., enjoy breakfast or a warm drink at the Main Street Bakery featuring Starbucks. Then promptly at opening, a new welcome show will officially open the park for the day on the Castle Forecourt Stage. A Royal Herald will appear to deliver a proclamation and welcome a few familiar characters to the stage, officially opening the park so “the magic can begin!”

Celebrate Return of Main Street Electrical Parade During After-Hours Premiere Event at Disneyland Park on Jan. 19

The Main Street Electrical Parade returns to the place it began for a limited engagement beginning January 20, 2017 and you can be among the very first in decades to see this iconic parade light up Disneyland® Park during a special after-hours premiere event on Jan. 19, 2017!
