It has already been confirmed that Epcot will be taking the Leave A Legacy monuments and moving them outside of the park, but now, another big change is coming. Walt Disney World will have the Walk Around The World bricks removed soon from the Seven Seas Lagoon area and Magic Kingdom.
The bricks which line a walkway near Magic Kingdom and the Transportation & Ticket Center have been in place for decades and were only set to be in place for decades, and now soon, many of them will be removed as new projects are started. Those projects include additional metal detectors, bag screen security checkpoints, walkway alterations, and tram loading zones.
As more projects are put in place, the rest of the bricks will also be removed.
The bricks were originally set to be in place only until 2011. So, anyone who has a brick has had them there for at least eight years longer than the initial plan.
With the bricks not being able to be removed one-by-one, guests who purchased one will not be able to get their original brick. Disney is offering up the chance, though, for guests to receive a similar one to commemorate their original purchase.
Guests must get their bricks by August 31, 2019, and here is how to do it.
In person:
- Starting March 18, 2019, Guests can stop by City Hall at Magic Kingdom Park or Guest Relations at Disney Springs to verify their previous brick by sharing the name and hometown of the Guest who sponsored it.
- After verification, they will be given a one-time use voucher to present by, or before Aug. 31, 2019, at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. (at Magic Kingdom Park – separate theme park admission required) or the Marketplace Co-Op (at Disney Springs), enabling you to purchase one commemorative 6” brick at a special price of $10 (plus tax).
If guests cannot make it to the park in person:
- Guests should email guest.services@disneyworld.com or call 407-828-2701 with the name and hometown of the Guest who sponsored the brick.
- After verification, they will be provided a code to use by, or before Aug. 31, 2019, on shopDisney.com to purchase one commemorative 6” brick at a special price of $10 (plus tax and shipping) starting this spring. This code is for one-time use and will only be valid on shopDisney.com and may not be redeemed in person or at any other location. (Limit one voucher or code per verified Guest.)
For guests who did not purchase one of the bricks during the original time they were being sold, you will also be able to get one of your own. The “Walk Around The World” bricks will be a 6” brick ($29.99 plus tax – available now), 8” brick ($49.99 plus tax – available now) and ornament ($24.99 plus tax – on sale soon), all with customization included. These customizable stations are at Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. (at Magic Kingdom Park) or the Marketplace Co-Op (at Disney Springs), or on shopDisney.com starting this spring.
For those who have a brick already in place, you may want to get those last pictures of it in while you can.
