NEWS: A Magic Kingdom Staple Is CLOSING for a Lengthy Refurbishment

With the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary just a few months away, we’re seeing a LOT of attractions and areas all around the park getting some refurbishments.

Cinderella Castle

Cinderella Castle already got a new paint job, but it’s getting some more sprucing up now. We’ve also seen various hotel areas, hotel pools, and rides all over Disney World get some updates. And now a MAJOR spot in Magic Kingdom is set to receive some refurbishment too!

Looking for cupcakes, cookies, and other sweet treats in Magic Kingdom? Well, the Main Street Confectionery is a spot lots of guests stop at for their sweet snacking needs.

But, soon this spot will be CLOSED for refurbishment! According to the Disney refurbishment calendar, the Confectionery is currently set to close on March 29th, 2021.

The calendar then shows that the refurbishment is set to continue through at least May 22nd, 2021.

We say “at least” because Disney World park hours, and other information like refurbishment schedules, have only been released through May 22nd at the moment, so we can’t see the schedules past that date. It’s very possible that this refurbishment will continue past May 22nd.

Once more park hours and schedules are released into later in the year, we’ll be sure to check on this and see whether/how far this refurbishment gets extended.

What other refurbishments are going on around Disney World or set to start soon? Well, recently “It’s Tough to Be a Bug” in Disney’s Animal Kingdom closed for its refurbishment.

Another BIG Animal Kingdom ride is also currently closed for refurbishment.

And at Magic Kingdom, we are STILL waiting for the Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover to reopen. 

The PeopleMover is being moved!

The ride has been under refurbishment for an extremely long period of time, but we’re watching for any updates.

There are also refurbishments going on at the Big Blue Pool over at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort and the Hippy Dippy Pool at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.

At Disney’s Polynesian Resort, there is some MAJOR construction going on as the guest rooms get a Moana-inspired refurbishment and the entryway at the resort also gets a new look.
