We’re baaaack… And, with an all new What’s New at Magic Kingdom too (aw yeaaah!).
Magic Kingdom, Here We Come!
We have LOTS of construction, merch, and food updates for ya, so let’s take a quick trip to the Happiest Place on Earth.
Magic Kingdom Food Update
Fantasyland
One of our favorite hidden gems is Big Top Treats inside Big Top Souvenirs. You can get different circus sweets here like house-made caramel corn, cotton candy, and more; and you’ll also find a lot of the same treats stocked at the Confectionery…without such a long line!
Big Top Treats started up a monthly Goofy’s Glacier a while back, and they are now featuring the Banana Orange Swirl Glacier on their list of slushes.
Goofy’s Glaciers
Adventureland
Two new treats have been spotted in Adventureland! The Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls at the Egg Roll Wagon are a great cheesy snack paired with marinara sauce for $7.50.
Crispy on the Outside, Soft on the Inside
At the Sunshine Tree Terrace, you can now grab a Strawberry Vanilla swirl and a Strawberry Chocolate swirl. Even better news: You can add the swirls to the newest Dole Whip float option — Redd’s Revenge! They’re currently out of Redd’s chocolate hat, but in the meantime you can enjoy the Donald Waffle Topper instead (still just as tasty!).

Magic Kingdom Construction Update
Ticketing and Transportation Center
Yup, it feels like there is a never-ending amount of construction in Disney World currently. With the 50th Anniversary coming up, SO much infrastructure is being put into place!
TTC Guide Sign
Guide Signs Placed Around the Area to Help Guests During Construction
The Ticket and Transportation Center has some tram construction updates happening right now. Can they please make them as pretty as the buses are going to be??
TTC Entrance
Guests are still being dropped off at the same location before the bridge and must walk underneath the bridge to get to bag check and security.
Guests Entering the TTC
Construction Underneath the Bridge
This must seem like a long walk after trekking through the parks all day!
Guests Exiting Underneath the Bridge
The fencing and green tarp is gone in some places (yay!), and there is an extended pavement in their place (double yay!)
New Raised Pavement
Leading Up to the TTC
The raised sidewalk on one side remains with the guard rails still in place. The old sidewalk used to have these on either side of the tram road.
Ramp Guard Rails
More Ramp Construction
At this point, the majority of the Ticket and Transportation Center is covered by fencing and green tarp.
The Green Tarp is Still Up
More Fences and Tarp Visible at the TTC Entrance
Hopefully, we’ll get to see more progress soon!
Construction Vehicles Can Be Seen Around the Area
(We’re so ready for the construction to be done and over with.)

There was a tall curtain at the Emporium in between the kids’ clothing section and the men’s clothing section. A Cast Member informed us that they were testing something out, but she wasn’t sure what that was exactly.

Can you tell us how the TTC construction is affecting the monorail connection between EPCOT and the Magic Kingdom?
Noel, it is not affecting the connection between MK and Epcot.
I hope Sir Mickey’s hasn’t changed. Isn’t that the shop with the giant lifting the roof up and looking into the shop?
