A New Look Is Coming For Main Street Confectionery

Confectionery 2One of my family’s favorite spots on Main Street, U.S.A. in Magic Kingdom is Main Street Confectionery. From its delightful smells to its tasty treats, this location is always a must visit for us during each of our Walt Disney World vacations. Recently, Main Street Confectionery along with The Chapeau closed for an extensive refurbishment that will bring with it more retail space as well as interactive experiences allowing guests to customize their desserts. Until Main Street Confectionery reopens later this year, don’t worry, you’ll still be able to satisfy your Disney sweet tooth. You can track down many treats from Main Street Confectionery at Emporium and Main Street Cinema. For Disney hats, including the iconic Mickey Mouse ears, head across the street to Box Office Gifts at the Town Square Theatre. And if it’s collectibles and limited edition artwork you’re after, Bonjour! Village Gifts is the place to go.

Are you excited for Main Street Confectionery to reopen?

Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure invites guests into the flavorful world of Disney and Pixar’s Academy Award®-winning “Ratatouille,” where they will feel as if they shrink to the size of Chef Remy and scurry through Gusteau’s famous restaurant. Guests will find Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure in a newly expanded area of the park’s France pavilion, where the real is made fantastic in a reimagining of Paris inspired by the film.
