What’s New in Magic Kingdom: A Fan-Favorite Treat Spot Reopens and LOTS of Halloween Merchandise

With Disney jumping into the Halloween season, there are a lot of new things going on at Disney’s 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.

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.

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!

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.

There were also light-up Jack Skellington necklaces (which we’ve seen in years past), perfect for trick-or-treating at night.

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.

We also spotted some fun Halloween MagicBands, which you can get for $34.99 each. There’s a great orange design featuring Mickey and some ghosts.

But, if you’re already decked out in the Nightmare Before Christmas items featured above, you might just need to grab this Nightmare Before Christmas MagicBand! This is a returning design which we’ve seen before.

If you’re looking for some not-so-Halloween-themed merchandise, we also found some new onesies at the Emporium that feature some of the great Disney ladies. There’s one themed to Marie from The Aristocats that says “Sweet as can be.”

You can also get a Snow White one that says “Fairest of them All.”

But our favorite was probably the Mary Poppins one, which says “Practically Perfect in Every Way.”

Mary Poppins Onesie

Each onesie was priced at $19.99.

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.

We also saw that the new Halloween MagicBands are available at Frontier Trading for $34.99.

There’s a whole lot of Halloween items to choose from throughout the park.

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…

…and one with a Nightmare Before Christmas design.

Just across the way, we saw some spooktacular Halloween silhouettes at the silhouette cart!

Halloween Silhouettes

The silhouettes with Halloween scenes are $12, and the frames are an additional $14.

We jumped over to Star Traders in Tomorrowland next to check out the Halloween findings there.

Rides and Wait Times

During our time in the park, we checked on the wait times at a couple of attractions. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train had a wait time of 65 minutes in Fantasyland.

And Haunted Mansion was at 45 minutes over in Liberty Square.

And that’s our basic wrap-up of what’s new at Magic Kingdom! Curious to know if that After Hours Boo Bash taking place at Magic Kingdom is worth it? Check out our video below to see our thoughts.
