Whew — there’s certainly been a lot of new updates in Disney World recently, hasn’t there?

With the reopening of offerings like the Harmony Barber Shop, plus the return of Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, and even the return of popular behind-the-scenes tours at EPCOT, a lot is going on! Today, we’re heading to Magic Kingdom so we can bring you any and all updates you need before your next trip — let’s go!

Magic Kingdom Food Updates

There are a lot of new food offerings in Magic Kingdom for the fall season! Let’s take a look at what we’ve seen so far.

Main Street Bakery

Over at the Main Street Bakery, we tried the Oh, My Gourd Cupcake! 

This treat is a pumpkin spice cupcake with cinnamon cream cheese icing finished with dark chocolate ears. It is $6.29, and overall it was pretty decent, but be warned that it WILL stain your hands orange.

Cheshire Cafe

Here, we tried the Binx Pastry Cat Tail which is a cat tail drizzled with dark chocolate and topped with Binx chocolate piece for $5.79.

So the most obvious observation here is that this is very clearly not a cat tail, but rather a cat paw — which makes sense given that the Cheshire Cat Tail that is usually available here is also now a Cheshire Cat Paw (note that the Cheshire Cat Paw is not currently offered here, and you are only able to get the Binx Cat Tail during the Halloween season). Aside from the obvious difference in shape, this was an okay treat. When we tried it, it didn’t seem very fresh, so your experience may vary depending on how recently the pastry was made.

Also at the Cheshire Cafe is the Cold Witches Brew Coffee. This drink is French Vanilla Cold Brew with pumpkin-spiced foam and topped with Halloween Sprinkles and is $5.29.

We REALLY enjoyed this coffee, especially the pumpkin-spiced foam on top!

Casey’s Corner

Casey’s Corner has some new items for the Halloween season including the Pain and Panic Hot Dog, which is an all-beef hot dog, topped with sweet and spicy onion relish, sriracha mustard, and spicy cheese-flavored snacks. 

This hot dog has Flamin’ Hot Cheetos on it and honestly, it worked. You can try this hot dog for yourself for $11.99.

Also at Casey’s Corner is the new Winifred’s Elixir of Youth drink. It’s a Black Tea Slushy topped with Kiwi Foam and a Winifred Chocolate Piece for $6.49.

We really enjoyed this drink and thought the flavors all mixed really well together, but beware: it will turn your teeth and tongue black!

Main Street Confectionery

Over at the Main Street Confectionery, we had the Pumpkin Rice Crispy Treat for $5.49.

This is just a normal Rice Crispy Treat dyed orange with some fun details on it, but we liked it!

Big Top Treats

And the final new food item was the Minnie Spider Shortbread Cookie from Big Top Treats!

This cookie was a little simpler, and a bit dry, but we did enjoy the icing! You can grab this treat for $5.49.

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

Merchant of Venus

The Merchant of Venus has finally reopened in Magic Kingdom, but not as a gift shop!

It is now open as a seating area with tables and chairs for guests to come in and take a load off in some AC.

New Photo Ops

There’s also a new Hocus Pocus photo op in Liberty Square.

It is made to look like Salem, where the movie takes place, and has made an appearance due to the upcoming release of Hocus Pocus 2 on Disney+.

There’s also a new Halloween/50th Anniversary photo op over by Tomorrowland, as well.

It has some gravestones on it, including one for Washington Irving, which is the author of the The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, which, of course, inspired the Disney movie of the same name.
