News Magic Kingdom's Main Street Confectionery closing for refurbishment

[Animaniac93-98]

Where’s Elsa and Baby Yoda?

In Frozen 3: The Search for Spock Anna, Elsa and Olaf will travel to the America of the 1890s and visit everywhere from Atlantic City to the Wild West in search of fun and adventure!

This recontextualization of American history will allow Disney to disassociate themselves from the problematic past of real America and retheme Main Street, Frontierland and other areas into Princesses paradises, perfect for hosting "Winter in Summer" and other festivals!

Baby Yoda's favorite blue macaroons will of course also be available in this newly reimagined sweet shop, along with other treats from the upcoming Disney+ series Grab a Bite with Grogu!

I, for one, welcome the uptheming of Hoved Vei, Norge!

I’m hoping that this refurbishment ends up looking more like the refresh Disneyland’s got (which was, honestly, really great.) Visiting the shop in WDW in a post-COVID world wasn’t exactly that great for social distancing. When DL’s got its update, not only was it easier to walk around but they upped the charm and details.

I will also voice here that I’m bummed there’s a serious lack of fresh candy.

The lack of fresh made candy right now is due to social distancing. The area isn’t big enough to have the regular amount of people working that close together for long periods and/or not enough Cast called back yet.

I think the refurb will mostly be for re arranging the layout of the shop for better flow and removing bulky fixtures.

We can only hope.

It’s funny how they use Covid as an excuse where it’s convenient for the $$$ isn’t it...

I still miss watching them make the fudge in there. They ruined the confectionary several years ago when they did away with a lot of their hand made treats. I hardly go in there anymore and will go even less if they completely get rid of the rest of it!

The Disneyland Candy store is wonderful. Walt’s Band Organ plays a song every 8 minutes or so, you can get your Fortune read, watch candy being made in the kitchen, etc.

I’m sure both are factors. Someone dipping candy apples probably isn’t a priority when your business segment still has multiple venues fully closed or operating at reduced capacity.

To be fair to company, they are picking and choosing around the resort. You can still watch them make your treat at Karamel Kuche at Epcot.

Is that store operated by Disney?

To be fair, Karamel Kuche is owned by Werther's...and probably does not supply caramel apples to the Magic Kingdom...

Sure, but as a guest, if you want a caramel apple, there is somewhere to go. You can also find ice cream sundaes with Plaza closed. Better than DLP where they are just like, “we don’t have any snacks...”

To be fair, They have a candy shop, ice cream parlor, and the same snacks we have here, but probably better quality... I mean, To be fair....

It is a Disney owned and operated location hosted by Werthers
