What’s up DFB friends! It’s time for another edition of what’s new at Magic Kingdom!
Magic Kingdom
This past few days we’ve seen some new foods, more construction, and even the Main Street Philharmonic Band performing in front of Cinderella Castle! Let’s get into it.
Magic Kingdom Food Updates
The Opening Day Celebration Cake debuted in Magic Kingdom! We found it at the Main Street Bakery (also known as Starbucks) on Main Street, U.S.A.. This new treat is made with a gluten-friendly chocolate cake base, milk chocolate mousse, and a strawberry center, topped with balloon sprinkles and a chocolate piece on the end.
Main Street Bakery Opening Day Cake
We loved the flavors of this cake, but the texture was a little…well, slimy. It costs $6.99 at Main Street Bakery!

Now at Storybook Treats is the new Seven Dwarfs Specialty Cone for $5.99, and it has an unexpected ice cream flavor! This new cone is made with cranberry-vanilla soft-serve ice cream, decorated with a chocolate belt buckle and a chocolate Grumpy face.
Seven Dwarfs Cranberry Cone
We enjoyed this cone! The cranberry flavor was refreshing, and it wasn’t overwhelming or super strong. Find it at Storybook Treats in Fantasyland!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates
Construction continues at Mickey’s PhilharMagic in Fantasyland. The attraction is scheduled to reopen on November 12th with a new scene from Coco, and the sign has returned to the attraction!
The sign is back!
We can’t wait to see the new Coco scene debut, so stay tuned to DFB for more updates!

Over by Cinderella Castle, the Partners Statue was blocked and roped off briefly this week.
Partners Statue Construction
And today, a stage has been erected around the Partners Statue! This new stage is covered in shimmery EARidescent colors for Disney World’s 50th anniversary.
New stage!
This is likely being used for holiday filming!

Emporium
Over in Emporium, we spotted a new shiny pink 50th Anniversary Loungefly Mini Backpack for $110. Though it’s pink-tinted, it also shimmers with some of the 50th anniversary EARidescent colors.

Magic Kingdom Various Updates
The Main Street Philharmonic Band performed in front of Cinderella Castle! Usually, you can find the marching band performing on Main Street, U.S.A..
Main Street Philharmonic Band
They performed ragtime songs, show tunes, and classic Disney songs, which is their usual set. We aren’t yet sure if this is a permanent change or just a temporary change of scenery.

Splash Mountain was briefly down for technical difficulties, which as we all know happens from time to time in Disney World.
