Ever since it's a small world at Disneyland was updated not too long ago with Disney characters (such as Peter Pan in England, Aladdin in Egypt, Lilo in Hawaii, etc.), people have been wondering if the Magic Kingdom was next to get these characters in the classic Fantasyland Boat Ride. The attraction has been closed since August 1st, and isn't set to re-open again for a month or so, which leaves some people wondering 'Is the update to get Disney Characters?' Disney reports it is down for refurb to fix the queue, but that doesn't mean they will spoil everything. WDW MouseTales found some merchandise that might confirm Characters coming to IASW: 


First, this miniature snow globe features native characters already in IASW, but also has Peter Pan, who is not in the MK version of the attraction.



Also, this magnet features a bunch of Disney Characters, most who of which are featured in the Disneyland version of the ride.



The same design on a coffee mug:



So after seeing these images of new merchandise, many wonder and worry if the refurb will be used to include new Disney Characters. Some say that the refurb isn't long enough to include new dolls, as the Disneyland refurb was a lengthy fix (also used to totally refine the water depth of the canal, however). But we never know, it could be true.


There are some reports that this is just merchandise that was once at Disneyland, and just shipped to Florida and changed to 'Magic Kingdom' script on it, as reportedly there was Matterhorn merchandise sold as Expedition Everest merchandise. We never know.

Well everyone I hope you are all very excited for the return of Captain EO tomorrow! But today the Disneyland Twitter Account shared some exciting news (that they previously said they would) that new Captain EO Merchandise will launch with the re-opening of the Attraction!



The site lists these specific items:

Captain EO Logo Ladies Tee - $26.95

Captain EO Logo Men's Tee - $24.95

Captain EO Poster Men's Tee- $ 26.95

Captain EO Logo Crew Fleece - $42.95

Captain EO Logo Military Cap - $24.95

Captain EO Logo Beanie Hat - $24.95

Poster - $7.95

Captain EO Logo Button - $3.95

Captain EO Embroidered Nylon Jacket - Coming in early to mid-March!

Now that last item at the bottom really sort of caught my eye. 'mid-March!' it says, so we can at least assure that EO will last a month at Disneyland!

The items will be able to be purchased at these specific park locations:

Merchandise will be available at the following Disneyland® park locations and other select locations:

• Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A.
• Star Trader in Tomorrowland
• Tomorrowlanding in Tomorrowland
  
  

Well, this is exciting, especially for EO Fans! Hopefully we can buy some of this swag online, but if not, I'm sure somebody will haul some stuff on eBay.

Also, if anyone is seeing Captain EO tomorrow, send us a comment on this post telling us EVERYTHING about it, what it was like, did you enjoy it, have you seen the original film, etc. We want to know!

Well that's it for now, see you all very soon!
