A returning fall treat, tests running on a closed attraction, and 70 (!!) new pieces of merchandise — Magic Kingdom has seen a LOT of changes over the past week.

If you haven’t been inside Disney World’s most iconic theme park recently, you might be surprised by just how quickly things can change. The park is constantly getting updates, but don’t worry — we’re in Disney World every day so we can keep you updated on all the new things! Come with us now to find out what’s new in Magic Kingdom.

There have been a lot of updates when it comes to snacks, construction projects, and Disney merchandise in Magic Kingdom. Let’s start with our favorite part: new treats!

Magic Kingdom Food Updates

Big Top Treats

OK, so these treats aren’t really NEW new — we saw them last year for the fall season, and now they’re back! These are the Chamoy Caramel Apples at Big Top Treats.

They’re green apples dipped in caramel, covered in Tajín seasoning, and served with Chamoy. We tried them last year, and they’re definitely the spiciest caramel apples in Disney World! They’re also a very tasty and unique treat.

You can also get Churro Caramel Apples here, which is also a returning treat. Both of these apples cost $10.99 at Big Top Treats.

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

TRON: Lightcycle Run

We hopped on the PeopleMover to get a look at construction on the upcoming TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster. This coaster will open in the spring of 2023, which means we’re getting pretty close to riding it!

Right now, we can see some walkways taking shape, and the tunnel for the Walt Disney World Railroad to pass through this area is also looking close to completion. In case you’re not already familiar with this ride, it’s based on the Tron: Legacy movie, with ride vehicles that look like motorcycles and lots of special lighting effects.

Tomorrowland Light & Power Co.

Work is continuing on the Tomorrowland Light & Power Co. gift shop, which is the store at the end of the Space Mountain ride. While this shop is closed, guests are being directed to exit a different way.

From what we could see, there’s work going on both inside this store and on the outside facade. Disney hasn’t announced when the shop will reopen, but it might remain closed until TRON construction is finished in this area.

What else is closed in Disney World right now? Find out here.

Walt Disney World Railroad

The Walt Disney World Railroad has been closed for a long time now (we’re talking multiple years here), and Disney still hasn’t announced when it will reopen. However, we’ve recently seen some signs that it could return soon.

The last time we were in Magic Kingdom, we heard the train testing! Although we couldn’t see the train, we could hear it chugging along on the tracks. Could that mean the Railroad will open soon? We’ll have to wait and see.

Center Street

The last of our construction updates takes us to Center Street, which is just off of Main Street, U.S.A.

There are some short construction walls in this area, and it looks like Disney is replacing the materials on the ground.
