Today, we were able to find the Donald Duck Candy Corn Sipper in Magic Kingdom! He has materialized at Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Liberty Square, though we have also found him in Hollywood Studios.
When we found him, he had a bit of a line, though his adorable costume and candy pail make up for any time spent waiting.
We would recommend getting here early if you want to grab one. This adorable Donald sipper is sure to go quickly given no purchase limits are being enforced.
Donald Candy Corn Sipper – $13.00 + Non-Alcoholic Beverage
Unlike Disneyland Resort, the souvenir container was $13.00 here, however it had to be purchased with any nonalcoholic beverage, increasing the price to roughly $16.99.
Donald is the perfect accessory for fall, adding festive cheer to the park and any outfit.
Donald has his head sticking out from his candy corn costume, in an excited and expressive stance.
Donald has eyes with a blue background and a detailed duck bill.
He is holding a candy pail with a matching face as the hosts within the strap.
There are hinges to hold the strap to the sides of the sipper. He features a purple carrying strap with ghostly figures and his own image.
The white tip of his candy corn costume reveals the straw for the sipper.
The back folds up making him a delicious looking decoration. He has a plastic base for easy display, making him perfect to wear or show off.
What do you think of Donald as well as the new purchase limit? Let us know in the comments below, and follow us for more details on newly released items.

Just when you think you’ve seen all of the 50th Anniversary merchandise Disney has to offer — BAM…something new releases.
Disney World 50th Anniversary merchandise
In honor of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, we’ve seen celebratory shoes, bags, and clothes. And online, you can grab a ton of items — including a toy that features our favorite singing bears!
Of course, we’re referring to the bears from the Country Bear Jamboree in Magic Kingdom. This beloved show is a trip staple for many guests, so it only makes sense for the Country Bear Jamboree to receive a toy collection in honor of Disney’s huge milestone.
Country Bear Jamboree
Over on Amazon, you can grab the Country Bear Jamboree Toy.It’s $59.99 and features three bears: Teddi Barra, Big Al, and Henry.
Each plush is 10 inches tall and comes with its own unique details. This collection is a fun way to commemorate the 50th Anniversary…or a trip to Disney World!
Players will follow the waterway in boats just like the attraction and match picture cards to their scenes. The game is originally $29.99 but is on sale now for $11.49.
Looking for some new luggage for your kiddo before your trip? Check out the Disney Princess Suitcase from American Tourister! It’s a carry-on size so you don’t have to worry about it getting lost somewhere in the sky!
If your little one needs a new pair of kicks before your visit, these Daisy Duck Adidas might do the trick — just make sure your kiddo has plenty of time to break them in BEFORE your trip!
Calling all Princess Tiana fans! This set of three Princess Tiana Hair Pins would look oh-so-fashionable on you or your little one while keeping your hair out of your face.
And of course, we can’t stress the importance of staying hydrated and cool while you’re in the parks enough — no matter what time of year you may be going! Consider tossing some of these Cooling Towels into your park bag!
You just rinse them in cold water, wring them out (pro-tip: toss them in the fridge for an extra cool factor), and then you’ll have a cool towel to use on your neck!

As Tropical Depression 9 (TD9) strengthens into Tropical Storm Ian, we expect to see changes at Walt Disney World Resort to address the impact and ensure safety for all guests. The tropical storm is expected to arrive late Tuesday night and is expected to cause storm force winds of 39 mph or above within a significant portion of the state.
It is important to notice that the area contained within the image is not the size or intensity of the storm, but its possible movement over the next several days. The storm is expected to strengthen into a hurricane as it moves towards landfall in the Florida Gulf.
We have not seen any updates to park hours or operations due to this, however we are expecting to see preparations beginning over the weekend as we saw with Tropical Storm Isaias in 2020. We will keep up to date with any changes coming to the parks based off of Tropical Storm Ian.
