Disney4me Posted August 19, 2021 Report Share Posted August 19, 2021 With Disney jumping quickly into the Halloween season, there are a lot of new things going on at Magic Kingdom. It’s Fall in Magic Kingdom! Right now, you can grab Halloween treats, experience After Hours BOO Bash if you’ve purchased your tickets, and more. We’re heading around the park to let you know what’s new in terms of food, construction updates, and merchandise! We found updates all over the place in the Magic Kingdom this week. Let’s start out by checking out some spooky-themed food and how the DFB team made it 1000% better! Magic Kingdom Food Updates Main Street Bakery Walking down Main Street U.S.A., you’ll see the Main Street Bakery offering up a variety of baked goods and Starbucks drinks. This is the home of Disney’s famous colossal cinnamon rolls, and these cinnamon rolls got a Halloween makeover this week! Two happy Halloween Mickeys The cinnamon roll had orange-colored drizzled icing instead of the usual white. Unfortunately, this roll wasn’t our favorite. It was pretty stale and hard, but it’s possible that we just got a bad batch. You can get the roll for $6.49 at the Main Street Bakery. Click here to see our full review of this treat. If you do get the Halloween version of the cinnamon roll, we have a recommendation that makes it SO much better! Head down to get your favorite flavor of ice cream from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, and use the Mickey ears from the cinnamon roll to make a mini ice cream sandwich! DFB Ice Cream Sandwich Hack We did it with vanilla ice cream and peanut butter sauce, which made an OK treat into something truly magical. Click here to get full details on this cinnamon roll snack hack! Having had our fill of creative Disney treats, we went to see what’s going on with construction around the Magic Kingdom. Magic Kingdom Construction Updates In Storybook Circus, Big Top Souvenirs is now open! The store has been closed since Disney reopened, but it’s officially open again for guests at Magic Kingdom to enjoy. Big Top Souvenirs There’s a kiosk inside that has lots of delicious sweet treats, like Mickey Krispie Treats, Caramel Apples, and Goofy Glaciers. Big Top Treats Something new came to Big Top when it opened — a lot more tables and chairs. Seating in Big Top Souvenirs Now you can grab a seat to enjoy that caramel apple! Click here to see more from the reopening of Big Top Souvenirs! While we were in Storybook Circus, we saw that Pete’s Silly Sideshow — a character meet-and-greet location that often featured characters like Pluto, Goofy, and Minnie Mouse — is still blocked by shrubs. Very sneaky, Disney It appears that the spot is getting some refurbishments as well, so we’ll be checking back to see when it opens and what updates were made. Don’t be suspicious, don’t be suspicious If you’re driving to and from the Magic Kingdom, you’ll notice a change in how you leave the parking lot. There’s a new traffic pattern that doesn’t go past the Speedway gas station anymore. There were a lot of signs guiding us through the new exit, so be sure to look out for those on your way out. Some construction on the way out of Magic Kingdom Now, we’ll jump into the biggest part of this Magic Kingdom update: Halloween merchandise! Magic Kingdom Merchandise Updates The Emporium Let’s begin our Halloween merchandise tour at probably the most iconic Magic Kingdom gift shop: the Emporium. Lots of Halloween things! At the Emporium, we found plenty of new and/or returning Halloween items, like this Mickey and Minnie Mouse Pumpkin Halloween Wreath for $49.99. A Mickey Halloween Wreath There were also light-up Jack Skellington necklaces (which we’ve seen in years past), perfect for trick-or-treating at night. Jack Skellington Light-Up Necklaces And to match your fancy necklace, there were Nightmare Before Christmas hats (another fun returning item) as well, with Jack’s many expressions all over. Nightmare Before Christmas Cap One of the biggest Halloween finds this week was a new Hocus Pocus-themed item: sparkly crocs! Hocus Pocus Crocs The Crocs feature some special charms themed to the Sanderson Sisters and the movie overall. Click Here to Learn More About the Hocus Pocus Crocs!

Frontier Trading Post Next, we made our way over to Frontierland to see if any new things had arrived at Frontier Trading Post, and we weren’t disappointed! There were new Hocus Pocus pins, which come in a mystery box so you don’t know what you’ll get until you open it. Mystery Hocus Pocus Pins The pins were $21.99. We also found a new Haunted Mansion-themed pin, which actually counts down the days until Halloween! New Haunted Mansion Pin It has hitchhiking ghosts and Madame Leota from the Haunted Mansion ride, and it was at Frontier Trading for $29.99.

Parasols and Silhouettes In Liberty Square, we stopped by the parasol kiosk to check out some fun Halloween additions! Parasols Galore There were parasols with a Haunted Mansion theme… Haunted Mansion Parasol …and one with a Nightmare Before Christmas design. Halloween Parasols Just across the way, we saw some spooktacular Halloween silhouettes at the silhouette cart!
