A Space Mountain themed MagicBand is being released as part of the “Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction Collection”. The MagicBand is navy blue and features a starry background with a stylized Space Mountain on the side of the band. On the opposite side, you have Minnie Mouse wearing a dress that emulates the attraction’s architecture.

The collection debuts January 18 and features a Loungefly backpack, Minnie plush, mug, pin set, and Minnie Mouse headband all themed to Space Mountain. Themes for the collection change every month, so be sure to check back next month for the Pirates of the Caribbean collection.

New Space Mountain Wishables

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom, Uncategorized

This month brought us the new Park Life Wishables collection featuring park icons from Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort, but coming soon is the adorable Space Mountain Wishables collection, which is now available at Hong Kong Disneyland.

The full collection features an astronaut Mickey and Minnie, a Space Mountain Ride Vehicle, and Robo-Dog! For those who remember the Robo-Dog, he first debuted as “Nipper the RCA dog” back when Space Mountain opened in 1975 (and was sponsored by RCA.) Guests would see him sitting inside a spaceship as they entered the attraction. The pup was later stripped and reused during the 1994 Tomorrowland revamp, where he was placed along one of the attraction’s many exit ramp scenes… which thankfully survived the latest revamp that took place last November.

The unbagged Wishables plush is no less than the attraction’s iconic ride building itself.

Gun Confiscated at Magic Kingdom Checkpoint

Posted on by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

A 35-year-old Missouri man was stopped at Magic Kingdom bag check after it was discovered there was a weapon in his bag. According to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office, the man and his wife told security at bag check that they had an unloaded pistol in their bag.

This incident occurred on December 28, 2019, when the couple tried to enter the Magic Kingdom with their 4-year-old daughter. The gun, a black Ruger LCP .380, was in a carrying bag, inside a purse, and secured in a backpack.

The man stated that they forgot that the gun, which the man bought for his wife for protection, was inside the purse, as they had numerous bags with their 18-person party visiting Walt Disney World. According to the couple, they both have concealed weapon permits in Missouri, though this was not verified by the Orange County Sheriff.
