Disney4me Posted September 28, 2021 Report Posted September 28, 2021 There is SO much going on at Disney World. It turns out that getting the resort ready for the big 50th Anniversary celebration is a LOT of work! Main Street Confectionery So far, Cinderella Castle has undergone quite the transformation, Fantasyland has gotten a golden glow-up, and gold statues have popped up in the parks. The Main Street Confectionery in Magic Kingdom has also been closed for some renovations, but now (a day ahead of its set reopening date) the Confectionery has opened its doors and we got a peek inside! That’s right folks — the construction walls are down and the wonderful smell of candy and baked goods once again flows freely through the Main Street Confectionery! Main Street Confectionery We’ve already shared a look at the outside of the Confectionery, but we couldn’t help but share more photos of this wonderful spot’s exterior.
