The Disney World DLC includes 25 character skins to choose from and special in-game merchandise throughout the map that digitally replicates the theme park in Minecraft — from Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse dressed in 50th anniversary outfits and Cinderella Castle to adventures through the park’s six lands and 20 attractions.

With the DLC, players can ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise, Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, Haunted Mansion, “it’s a small world” and other classic rides with their accompanying theme park music — all in Minecraft form.

All the attractions can be experienced alone or with fellow players, and at different parts of the park, players can also interact with Walt Disney World cast members and 25 different Disney and Pixar characters. This interactivity means players can collect characters’ signatures through a virtual autograph park.

The famous Dapper Dans also make an appearance during their musical stroll down Main Street U.S.A.

As for in-game souvenirs, there are more than 20 different gifts and wearables to choose from like Minecraft twists on Spirit Jerseys and Mickey Mouse ear headbands. And as a trip to Magic Kingdom isn’t complete with snacks, players can also pick up 20 different treats like Mickey’s Hot Chocolate and a Pineapple Dole Whip.

And don’t forget to wrap up your play at Minecraft Disney World with a special fireworks show at Cinderella Castle — which is painted and decorated just the same as the one in the parks.
