Disney4me Posted November 5, 2021 Report Share Posted November 5, 2021 The holiday season in Disney World has officially shifted from Halloween to Christmas. The holidays are here! That’s meant a BIG change in decorations, treats, and merchandise throughout the parks (although we’re still seeing some leftovers from the spooky season!). We’re heading into the Magic Kingdom to check out all the new things that have arrived at this park in the last week. Let’s go see what’s new! We’ll start out with our favorite update: food! Magic Kingdom Food Update When Starbucks starts selling holiday drinks, that means it’s really the Christmas season. You can now get a variety of festive drinks, like the Caramel Brûlée Latte, Peppermint Mocha, Irish Cream Cold Brew, and more. Holiday drinks menu We decided to try the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte, which is a new drink this season! It’s an iced latte with hints of sugar cookie flavor, topped with sugar cookie sprinkles. Iced Sugar Cookie Latte This drink had the perfect amount of holiday cheer, with a subtle but delicious cookie flavor. You can get one at the Main Street Bakery in Magic Kingdom (or the Starbucks location in any of the parks) for $5.69. Click Here to Check Out our Full Review of the Iced Sugar Cookie Latte Or you can head down to the Main Street Confectionery to find more options for coffee and hot cocoa! The hot cocoa tins were $13.99 for a set of 3. Hot Cocoa! This spot has packages of coffee available as well, and we spotted some new packaging when we visited! Lots of coffee flavors There were new designs on the Mickey’s “Really Swell” Coffee bags for several different flavors, including the Signature Blend… Signature Blend Coffee …French Vanilla… French Vanilla Coffee …Pumpkin Spice… Pumpkin Spice Coffee …Morning Roast… Morning Roast Coffee …and Organic.

The K-Cups come with 12 single servings and cost $16.99 per package. Organic The best part about these treats? You can take them home with you and have Disney-themed coffee all season long. Magic Kingdom Merchandise Update If you’re looking for new Disney World merchandise, you’ll find plenty of it in the Magic Kingdom! The Emporium (that big gift shop on Main Street, U.S.A.) just got a ton of holiday merchandise. Lots of new items! We saw new Minnie Ears… The holiday ears are HERE! …new spirit jerseys with Mickey and the gang playing winter sports… Walt’s Lodge Spirit Jersey …home decor like blankets, pillows, and candles… New candle …pajama sets… Cute pajamas …ornaments… Snow Globe Ornament …and so much more!

While you’re over in Adventureland, you can still check out the 50th Anniversary sunglasses over at the Sunglass Hut. 50th Anniversary Sunglasses The set comes with the glasses, a case, and accessories, and it’ll cost you $330. Apparently they’re very popular — despite the high price tag — because a Cast Member told us they only had a few left in the store. Pretty Pricey Hop over to Frontierland to the Frontier Trading Post to check out their limited edition pins! These are all themed after a Disney World attraction, and they’re $17.99 each.

There was also a pin set for the upcoming Book of Boba Fett series, which is debuting on Disney+ on December 29th this year. Boba Fett Pins You can get all four pins for $29.99.

Magic Kingdom Construction Update Earlier in the week, we noticed that the Jungle Cruise had gotten its holiday makeover and is now the Jingle Cruise! Presents at the campsite This attraction got another update more recently: some of the plexiglass barriers on the boat between the guests and the skipper have been removed, and you can now see and hear the skipper better. Plexiglass barriers have been removed There are still barriers on the benches to the side of the skipper, but the big barrier in the middle is no longer there. Just on the sides now Mickey’s PhilharMagic is still under construction right now as imagineers add a new Coco-inspired scene to the show. Mickey’s PhilharMagic Construction It’s reopening on November 12th (that’s next Friday!), so you can head in then to see the updates. Right now, though, it looks like the main sign is getting a new paint job and switching from gold to blue. Make it Blue! That’s it for our updates in the Magic Kingdom today!
