Happy National Dole Whip Day from Magic Kingdom. Today, we will be trying a new Dole Whip cupcake in honor of National Dole Whip Day. We will also be checking out construction updates around the parks and looking for all things new.

Before we head to Magic Kingdom, we decided to take a ride on the EPCOT monorail to see if there are any construction updates.

The flowers have started to be removed from Flower and Garden Festival.

Many construction workers were out working on Journey of Water inspired by “Moana.” More rock work has been added, and pathways are taking shape.

We finally made our way to Magic Kingdom. It’s a beautiful day, and crowds are light today.

A stitch water bottle has surfed into the Emporium in Magic Kingdom. This water bottle features different poses of Stitch and has surfboards around the bottom.

A Stitch T-Shirt was also available in the Emporium. This white T-Shirt has a light blue print with Stitch surfing.

This adorable floral print Winnie the Pooh cookie jar has made its way to the Emporium. The floral print features flowers, butterflies and bees. This cookie jar is part of the kitchenware collection featuring Winnie the Pooh.

In addition to the cookie jar, there was a Tigger cake stand available. The top of the cake stand says, “Oh Tigger, where are your manners?”

As we made our way down Main Street, U.S.A., we saw the construction on Center Street. More of the street is blocked off as they complete the brickwork.

In Uptown Jewelers, a new Dooney & Bourke “2022 Multi Princess” Collection was in the showcase. This collection will be available on Monday, July 25, 2022.

We decided to take a ride on the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover to check out the TRON Lightcycle / Run construction. We caught ride testing as we went by, and you can spot the ride vehicle on the track.

Construction crews were working along the foundation trench by the tunnel.

We could also see the metal framework that was added to Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. The shop will be temporarily closing beginning August 1 due to construction.

While walking through Tomorrowland we spotted Stitch out greeting guests. He’s so cute and fluffy!

In Star Traders, a color-changing Alice in Wonderland mug has arrived. When having a Tea Party, pour any hot liquid into the mug, and color appears on the Cheshire Cat.

In Bonjour! Village Gifts the new Country Bear Jamboree Big Al Mug by Kevin & Jody was available. If you like this mug you better scurry because it’s flying off the shelves.

In Memento Mori, a set of Graveyard Bookends have materialized. These bookends are inspired by the headstones of Good Old Fred and Brother Dave from The Haunted Mansion graveyard. 

We had a great day at Magic Kingdom. Before we leave we waved to our friends from the Hundred Acre Wood.

We hopped over to the Contempo Cafe at Disney’s Contemporary Resort to try the new Dole Whip Cupcake for National Dole Whip Day.

The Dole Whip cupcake was the perfect way to celebrate Dole Whip day. If you love Dole Whip, you better hurry and try this delicious cupcake before it’s gone, as it’s only available until August 20.

In Bayview Gifts, the Contemporary Resort Ear Headband by Loungefly was back in stock. The Loungefly Crossbody bag was also in stock.

For our final stop of the day, we hopped over to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

In BouTiki, Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Loungefly Ear Headband is back in stock.

For National Dole Whip day, Pineapple Lanai was celebrating with the “Moana” Tamatoa-Inspired Cone. This cone features Dole Whip Raspberry swirled with Dole Whip Orange in a white chocolate-dipped waffle cone coated with shiny gold sugar.

As we walked around the resort we noticed construction on the beach at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort.

Thanks for following along with our day as we celebrated National Dole Whip Day.
