What’s New in Magic Kingdom: More Construction, Paper Straws, Minnie Balloon Buckets and Mickey Sippers, Plus New Merchandise!
The Magic Kingdom is hoppin’! Before we even got into the park we saw construction and changes at the parking lot trams, then spotted MORE construction updates around Cinderella Castle and on the new Tron attraction. And that’s all before we checked on the park-wide transition to paper straws, noticed the return of the Mickey sippers, and checked out a ton of new merchandise…
Hello from the Magic Kingdom
Catch up on all of the changes, updates, and new things to buy right here!
What’s New at the Magic Kingdom’s Transportation and Ticket Center
The parking lot trams have a new drop off location while work is being done around the Transportation and Ticket Center (TTC). This does mean a longer walk to the TTC which offers access to the Monorail and Ferryboat to the Magic Kingdom. Have your walking shoes on! See more photos and learn more about the new tram drop off location here.

What’s New in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland
The work around Cinderella Castle’s moat continues. This is quite a project that you can see all around the Castle and hub area.

The work may impact some of your photos, but should not be too intrusive overall.

We didn’t find any new treats in Big Top Treats, but we did find some new signs. You won’t need to ask about the cake pop flavors anymore because the signs now tell you what the flavors are. Now your hardest task is choosing a flavor…or two.

If orange is your favorite color, you’ll love the new paint color on Auntie Gravity’s Ice Cream and Smoothies. What do you think of the new color? Does it go with the theme of the shop or Tomorrowland?

What’s New in the Magic Kingdom
Paper straws are showing up all over the Magic Kingdom as Disney works to reduce the waste from single-use plastics in the parks and resorts. We still found some plastic straws in Main Street’s Confectionery, and outdoor pretzel and churro carts, but nearly every regular counter service location is now offering paper straws. Learn more about the paper straws here.

In addition to paper straws, we also spotted the Mickey and Minnie Balloon popcorn buckets around the parks. The Mickey version was available at Main Street popcorn carts, and the new Minnie version was at Maurice’s in Fantasyland on the day we visited the park.
