Posted on September 27, 2021September 27, 2021 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Main Street Confectionery at Magic Kingdom has been closed and undergoing refurbishment. Disney has announced its reopening date and it’s just in time for the 50th-anniversary celebration!

Get ready for some news that will make your sweet tooth happy: the Main Street Confectionery hosted by Mars Wrigley is reopening on September 29 at Magic Kingdom Park, just in time to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort!

From a Disney Cast Member;

With new interactive opportunities to customize your confections and a fresh new look throughout, the Main Street Confectionery is your go-to spot for delicious treats. It’s also where you can see confectionery magic being made by hand.

When you step into this charming, turn-of-the-century sweet shop, one of the first new things you’ll see is the colorful candy wall, which includes 38 varieties of M&M’S and SKITTLES! If you’re in the mood for something savory and sweet, you can now personalize your popcorn experience with multiple combinations. Select from four popcorn flavors – caramel, rainbow fruit, buttery, cheddar – and then top it all off with a selection of M&M’S or SKITTLES candies or perhaps even with some chocolate drizzle for an extra sweet treat!

You can even get a front-row spot at the candy kitchen area to watch cast members make and decorate your favorite goodies like the character-inspired candy apples and Mickey crisped rice cereal treats being made and decorated. There are more than 30 new items you won’t find anywhere else!

Some of my favorites are the new fudge varieties, like the Peanut Butter Fudge – featuring creamy peanut butter fudge topped with M&M’S Peanut Butter Candies and drizzled with chocolate. Yum!

Of course, this signature Magic Kingdom shop will offer limited-time treats for “The World’s Most Magical Celebration.” These four new sweets will be available starting on Oct. 1.

July 2021 Walt Disney World Refurbishments

Posted on June 19, 2021June 19, 2021 by Mathew Corn Disney Parks, Disney Resorts, Magic Kingdom

Whether you’re visiting to see the fireworks return, enjoying the Fourth of July holiday, or ready to eat and sip your way through EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, Disney is ready to invite you home. There are however a few refurbishments you’ll want to take note of as you prepare your days in the parks.

1. Walt Disney World Railroad (Magic Kingdom):

Sorry Disney fans, this one has been closed for a LONG time now, and we are missing it dearly. The railroad closed temporarily way back on December 3, 2018 and has remained closed since. The extended closure is due to the construction of the new attraction, Tron Lightcycle Power Run. Our best guess is that we won’t have a chance to take a ride on the railroad until Tron opens… which has yet to be announced… but is expected in 2022.

2. The Hall of Presidents (Magic Kingdom):

No surprise here as Disney is hard at work preparing Hall of Presidents for the 46th President, Joe Biden. For Trump’s Presidency, the attraction closed in January 2017 for refurbishment and reopened in December 2017. If history repeats itself, we are hoping to see Hall of Presidents reopen in December 2021.

3. Main Street Confectionery (Magic Kingdom):

Yes, this tasty shop filled with delightful treats closed on March 29, 2021 for a lengthy refurbishment. Currently, the refurbishment calendar has the Confectionery listed as under refurbishment through August 28, 2021. Note – August 28 is as far as Disney’s park hours are currently listed at the time of writing this article which is as far as the refurbishment calendar goes. This refurbishment could go longer once the calendar is updated. Get excited though because when it reopens Disney has said we will have a chance to customize our confections! In the meantime, there is a temporary shop set up in Main Street Cinema with Confectionery treats.

4. The Wave… of American Flavors (Disney’s Contemporary Resort):

The Wave… of American Flavors at Disney’s Contemporary Resort will be unavailable for the summer as Disney refurbishes the space in time for the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort. Reservations will be available through July 15. If you’re looking to enjoy this restaurant as is one last time, be sure to snag a reservation before July 15. The Disney rumor mill and speculations are hard at work with this refurbishment. Much of the speculations suggest Disney could make this a character dining restaurant with characters from The Incredibles. While we would absolutely love that, there is no confirmation from Disney.

5. Jungle Cruise (Magic Kingdom) – BUT it’s still open!

The Jungle Cruise attraction, at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World, are receiving new “experiences” which includes new adventures for us to cruise along to. While details of the enhancements have been revealed slowly, Disney has announced the work will be complete “this summer” at Walt Disney World. Thankfully, the attraction at Disney World has remained open throughout the refurbishment. The attraction is currently closed at Disneyland with a reopening date of July 16. Our hope is that Disney will be putting the final touches on Disney World’s Jungle Cruise around the same time.

Disney’s Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom are currently listed as being free from refurbishment closures (yay!). Keep in mind, refurbishments are listed to help us plan but it is not set in stone. Disney has been known to extend refurbishments, shorten them, and even close attractions and/or shops suddenly for refurb.

As part of “The World’s Most Magical Celebration”, Walt Disney World has officially announced their plans for a classic Magic Kingdom establishment as the park approaches its 50th birthday.

The Confectionery at the Magic Kingdom “will receive a fresh new look, expanded layout with more room to shop and interactive opportunities to customize your confections like never before.”

To bring these concepts to life, both Main Street Confectionery and The Chapeau will close for refurbishment March 29th, as previously reported. Along with that, some of the merchandise and goodies will be shifting to other spots in the park.

Main Street Confectionery Offers Treats For All | Chip and Company

Many of the treats from Main Street Confectionery will be available at Emporium and Main Street Cinema during the closure. The Main Street Cinema is already closed for this transformation.

Favorite Disney hats, including the must-have Mickey Mouse ears, will be just across the street at Box Office Gifts at the Town Square Theater.

Finally, if you’re looking for collectibles and artwork, Bonjour! Village Gifts will be the new go-to spot. This store has already reopened with the new selections.

April 2021 Walt Disney World Refurbishments

Posted on March 17, 2021March 17, 2021 by Mathew Corn Animal Kingdom, Disney Parks, Magic Kingdom

Are you planning your most magical trip yet to Walt Disney World this April? Whether you’re coming for Spring Break, Easter, or simply to spend a little time surround by Pixie Dust, Disney is ready to invite you home. There are however a few refurbishments you’ll want to take note of as you prepare your days in the parks.

There are currently five closures listed beginning April 1, 2021 on the Walt Disney World refurbishment calendar.

1. Walt Disney World Railroad (Magic Kingdom):

Sorry Disney fans, this one has been closed for a LONG time now, and we are missing it dearly. The railroad closed temporarily way back on December 3, 2018 and has remained closed since. The extended closure is due to the construction of the new attraction, Tron Lightcycle Run. Our best guess is that we won’t have a chance to take a ride on the railroad until Tron opens… which has yet to be announced.

2. Tomorrowland Transit Authority PeopleMover (Magic Kingdom):

PeopleMover is listed on the refurbishment calendar through April 3, and then removed from the list beginning April 4. Unfortunately, we would say that while we hope it reopens on April 4, Disney has pushed this closure back time and time again as they continue to work on an unconfirmed maintenance issue.

3. The Hall of Presidents (Magic Kingdom):

4. Main Street Confectionery (Magic Kingdom):

Yes, this tasty shop filled with delightful treats is scheduled to close on March 29, 2021 for a lengthy refurbishment. Currently, the refurbishment calendar has the Confectionery listed as under refurbishment through May 22, 2021.

5. Kali River Rapids (Disney’s Animal Kingdom):

Kali River Rapids closed on January 3 and has remained closed for refurbishment since. We are excited however as while Kali is removed from the closure list on April 2! Fingers crossed the refurbishment doesn’t get pushed back so we can once again enjoy a ride on the rapids.

Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios are currently listed as being free from refurbishment closures. Keep in mind, refurbishments are listed to help us plan but it is not set in stone. Disney has been known to extend refurbishments, shorten them, and even close attractions and/or shops suddenly for refurb.
