The $13 Disney Souvenir That You Can ACTUALLY Use at Home!

On a hot day in Magic Kingdom, you’ll need a deliciously icy drink to help you cool off. And if you can get a fun souvenir as part of the deal, you might as well do it, right?

Main Street USA

One of the best ways to cool off is with a Goofy’s Glacier, which is basically like a slushy! These treats come in a variety of flavors (and some multi-flavor combinations as well). At certain locations, you can get your glacier in a special souvenir cup instead of a normal one — and today we found a NEW souvenir cup in Disney World!

Recently, we’ve seen the Disney Parks souvenir cups with the Mickey ears toppers around Disney World treat locations. But today at the Main Street Confectionery, we saw a brand-new souvenir cup option.

Main Street Confectionery

The new cup is located over at the Glacier Kitchen section of this store, of course. We spotted it from a distance at first…

New souvenir cups!

…and then we got closer to check it out! It’s a translucent white color with lots of sparkles and blue designs.

The new cup

The cup is covered in Disney Parks attractions and some favorite characters as well! The characters look like they’re traveling along a game board with different Disney activities like “grab a sweet treat” and “meet your favorite park pals.”

Cute!

There are designs representing attractions from both Disney World and Disneyland, with the Pixar Pal-A-Round Ferris Wheel right next to Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life. So whichever coast you prefer, you can find something from its Disney park location on this cup!

New souvenir cup

This souvenir is available at the Main Street Confectionery for $12.99. Note that this is a $2 price increase from the last souvenir cup we spotted in Magic Kingdom. It comes filled with your choice of Goofy’s Glacier. You can pick a plain flavor like Blue Raspberry or Fruit Punch, or try a combination like the Orange Brrr’d!

Menu

And the best part of this souvenir? It could actually be useful once you get home, too! After you’ve finished your glacier and washed out the cup, you can fill it up with your favorite drink and use it again and again. We’re always on the lookout for the newest Disney treats and souvenirs, so stay tuned with DFB for more updates from the parks.
