Magic Kingdom’s Sword in the Stone Is Back After Brief Refurbishment
Long live the King… or at least the King hopefuls! After a short hiatus that had guests wondering if Merlin had finally pulled the plug, the iconic Sword in the Stone at Magic Kingdom is officially back and ready for your royal photo op attempts.
Nestled right in the heart of Fantasyland — between Cinderella Castle and Prince Charming Regal Carrousel — the legendary sword mysteriously vanished from guest access earlier this week. On Wednesday, June 11, the area was roped off, leaving many fans puzzled (and a little heartbroken) as their dreams of ruling England were temporarily paused.

But good news travels fast in the realm of fairy tales: by Friday, June 13, the sword had triumphantly returned! While Disney hasn’t offered any official details on the refurbishment, the sword appears to have gotten a little TLC — perhaps a magical polish or some enchanted reinforcement.
This beloved photo spot has been a fan-favorite for decades, offering kids and adults alike the chance to try their strength (and destiny) at pulling the legendary blade from the stone. It’s part of what makes the Fantasyland experience so whimsical — a perfect mix of charm, history, and a little touch of Disney magic.
