Two new popcorn flavors have debuted at the Kernel Kitchen, located in Main Street Confectionery at Magic Kingdom, to celebrate the grand opening of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure. Of course, we had to order both to review.

Main Street Confectionery is located in Main Street, U.S.A., right across the street from the Emporium. While accessible through any Main Street Confectionery entrance, the doors facing Town Square lead directly into Kernel Kitchen.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure Popcorn

Tiana’s Bayou Crunch – $15.99

Cajun Cheddar Popcorn with M&M’S, Peanut Butter Chocolate Candies, Cheddar Crackers, Pretzel Pieces, and White Chocolatey Drizzle.

All the popcorn flavors at Kernel Kitchen come in a convenient-to-carry container with an included lid, allowing you to snack on the go.

This slightly spicy and savory treat is the right choice for those seeking a little adventure. The Cajun popcorn manages to deliver some kick, without being too strong or hot. The Mickey-shaped cheddar crackers offer a nice crunch to this messy but delicious treat.

Sweet Popcorn Serenade – $15.99

Carmel Popcorn with Praline Pecans, M&M’S Caramel Chocolate Candies, Pretzel Pieces, and Dark Chocolatey Drizzle.

Those seeking something a bit sweeter will find just that in the Sweet Popcorn Serenade. This popcorn loads up on the chocolate and caramel offerings, but the salt of the pretzels balances things out a bit. The pralines were buried deep within our bowl, which caused quite a mess. Overall, this popcorn delivers.

Other special food, treats, and merchandise can also be found in Magic Kingdom to celebrate the grand opening of the attraction.

Check out Tom and Eric’s honest review of the attraction, along with our full ride POV:

A new Winnie the Pooh Loungefly mini backpack features Pooh bear, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore.

The backpack is available at Hundred Acre Goods in Magic Kingdom.

Winnie the Pooh Loungefly Backpack – $88

The backpack is made of blue denim and pleather. A pleather patch of the four friends sitting on each other’s shoulders is on the front pocket. Colorful flowers are embroidered on the denim fabric around them. Embroidered bees zip around the metal Loungefly tag above the pocket.

More bees and flowers are on the side slip pockets. The zippers of the front pocket and main pocket are silver-tone. The Loungefly wordmark is debossed on the zipper pulls.

The back of the bag and the padded straps are bright blue pleather.

A red-pink “hunny” pot with yellow honey spilling out of it is pictured on the back. Large green leaves spread out around it with more colorful flowers.

The interior lining is light blue with a white and bright blue pattern of flowers, honey pots, and bees.

Winnie the Pooh Loungefly Denim Wallet – $50

We also found a matching wallet in Uptown Jewelers at Magic Kingdom. The wallet features the same denim fabric as the backpack, with an applique of Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and Eeyore sitting on each other’s shoulders. Embroidered flowers in shades of red, blue, yellow, and white, surround them.

The denim fabric continues to the back of the wallet, with embroidery of flowers surrounding a hunny pot toward the bottom. A blue and silver enamel Disney Parks Lounefly plaque is attached toward the top.

Inside is the same light blue, patterned lining found in the backpack, along with an ID slot and multiple card slip pockets. The wallet’s hardware is silver-tone.

After the Magic Kingdom version of the new Tomorrowland belt bag arrived at Disneyland, the Disneyland version of the bag appeared at Magic Kingdom.

We found the Disneyland-branded belt bag in Tomorrowland Launch Depot.

Loungefly Disneyland Tomorrowland Belt Bag – $65

The Disneyland version of the bag features similar but not identical artwork to the Magic Kingdom version (pictured below). Both bags are pale blue with orange and white artwork that matches the full Tomorrowland collection. Space Mountain is in the center with the Monorail zipping above. Stitch is pictured in his rocket ship, flying around the TWA Moonliner. Disneyland-style PeopleMover cars are in the bottom right corner.

The moon and Astro Orbiter are in different positions on the Magic Kingdom belt bag. The Magic Kingdom bag also features two TRON Lightcycle / Run vehicles.

On the Disneyland version of the bag, the Astro Orbitor is in the top left corner, surrounded by white stars. There is a retro-style Tomorrowland sign of round orange shapes and white lettering.

Trees surround a lake featuring a submarine, inspired by Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage (formerly 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea).

The images have debossed outlines, giving them subtle dimension and texture.

The other difference between bags is on the back. This one features the Disneyland Park wordmark. The other version featured the Magic Kingdom wordmark.

“Tomorrowland” is in dark blue lettering above the park’s name. There’s also a dark blue Disney Parks x Loungefly plaque.

The bag has a main zip pocket and a small zip pocket on the back.

The interior lining is orange with an all-over pattern of Tomorrowland iconography.

Which version of the Tomorrowland belt bag do you prefer? Let us know in the comments.

Walt Disney World Resort has a new Disney Princess autograph book featuring classic royalty and newer characters.

Disney Princess Autograph Book – $24.99

Moana, Tiana, and Rapunzel are on the front of the autograph book. This is the first time Moana has joined the other princesses on an autograph book design.

The front of the book is pink with images of flowers, stars, dots, and leaves. Behind the trio is a purple square with a pink castle and a couple of Rapunzel’s golden lanterns.

The book includes a purple pen with a pink silicone flower charm. There is a pink elastic band on the outside of the book to hold the pen.

The back of the book is purple. More flowers and stars surround a pink square featuring Belle, Ariel, and Cinderella. Belle is in her ballgown, Ariel is in mermaid form, and Cinderella is in her classic silver ballgown — true to the film’s original colors.

We found the Disney Princess autograph book in Sir Mickey’s, the gift shop next to Princess Fairytale Hall.

Magic Kingdom guests cannot hold virtual queue boarding groups for both Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and TRON Lightcycle / Run at the same time.

Magic Kingdom Virtual Queues

Virtual queues for both attractions open at 7 a.m. and then 1 p.m. via the My Disney Experience app. If you secure a boarding group for one ride at 7 a.m., you cannot then get a boarding group for the other during the 7 a.m. window. We entered the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure virtual queue at 7 a.m. and then could not join the TRON Lightcycle / Run virtual queue.

If you are still in a virtual queue for a ride at 1 p.m., you still can’t join the other ride’s virtual queue. For example, if you joined the Tiana’s Bayou Adventure virtual queue at 7 a.m. but your boarding group has not been called by 1 p.m., you cannot join the TRON Lightcycle / Run virtual queue.

If you try to join both virtual queues, you’ll see the message “This Guest is in a boarding group for another experience.”

If you join one virtual queue at 7 a.m. and ride the attraction before 1 p.m., you can then join the other virtual queue. You cannot join the same virtual queue twice in one day.

Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is currently only available via virtual queue and Genie+ (soon Lightning Lane Multi Pass). Disney expects to open a standby queue soon.

Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT also currently uses a virtual queue. To join any of the virtual queues at 7 a.m., guests must have a park pass reservation for the respective theme park. At 1 p.m., guests must be in the attraction’s respective park.
