PHOTOS: Starbucks Releases New Ceramic Magic Kingdom Tumbler

WDWNT on October 13, 2017

Starbucks is certainly on a mission to take our money and fill our cabinets, and now it seems there’s a new ceramic tumbler at every park (we showed you Epcot and DCA earlier this week). The Magic Kingdom has released theirs as of today:

These tumblers retail for $21.99 each. The cup features icons of the park, including:

Cinderella Castle
Tinker Bell
Dumbo
Peter Pan’s Flight
Partners Statue
Hitchhiking Ghosts
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain
Splash Mountain
Jungle Cruise
Pirates of the Caribbean
Tiki Totem from the Enchanted Tiki Room

REVIEW: The Many Desserts of Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party 2017 at the Magic Kingdom

WDWNT on August 29, 2017

We made our way over to the first Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party of 2017 last week, and of course, we had to try a wide variety of the desserts Disney had to offer. There were some desserts that unfortunately were sold out by the time we made our way to them, so do keep that in mind if many of these area must during your party visit. For a full list, you can check out our original story.

Haunted Mansion Portrait Desserts

Chocolate tart filled with chocolate ganache and topped with peanut butter icing and a Haunted Mansion-inspired white chocolate portrait.

If you’re a peanut butter fan, you’ll love this one because it tastes a lot like a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. This was probably the least favorite in the group just because it was too rich in that flavor. Sadly, due to the humidity, as soon as it was taken out of the fridge the portrait started to melt. This one is available at Liberty Square Market next to Hall of Presidents for $5.49.

Chocolate tart filled with chocolate ganache and topped with Oreo panna cotta and a white chocolate Haunted Mansion-inspired portrait.

Have you ever had the Grey Stuff at Be Our Guest? The Oreo filling in this dessert is exactly the same as what you would find the Grey Stuff. You can find this “dynamite” dessert at Aloha Isle for $5.49.

Chocolate tart filled with raspberry compote and topped with white chocolate mousse and a Haunted Mansion-inspired white chocolate portrait.

Our favorite Haunted Mansion dessert of the three we tried, this one has a raspberry compote in the middle and is absolutely delicious!! If you’re a fan of fruit and chocolate, check this one out at Storybook Treats for $5.49. Additionally, there’s a 4th Haunted Mansion dessert, unfortunately it was sold out by 9PM when we made our way to Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies.

Jack Skellington Dessert

A vanilla panna cotta, chocolate cake, vanilla buttercream, white chocolate and dark chocolate crisp pearls, dark chocolate curls and a white chocolate Jack Skellington.

I was the only one in the group that really enjoyed this, mainly because it was so rich. The vanilla cream at the bottom was the part I enjoyed the most. Designed to be eaten like a popsicle, this is a fun dessert that offers some good photo opportunities. Available at Sleepy Hollow for $5.49 alongside the infamous Pumpkin Waffles.

Main Street Bakery Snacks

Bright orange Mickey Halloween Cupcake with chocolate cake filled with purple marshmallow fluff topped with orange vanilla buttercream, sprinkles and a white chocolate scarecrow Mickey.

Check out this cute cupcake available at the Main Street Bakery. This rich chocolate cupcake was pretty good, but the purple marshmallow filling made this one of the more unique specialty cupcakes of the last few years.

Not a bad option for $5.99 but the better item at the Main Street Bakery was…

Mickey-shaped Cinnamon Roll takes on a spooky twist with orange icing and a chocolate spider web.

This Cinnamon Roll was AMAZING! Take the standard Disney cinnamon roll and add orange and chocolate icing to it and that’s pretty much what you have here. This was far and away everyone’s favorite, and the best part is that its available outside of the parties as well. Sadly, the Starbucks pastry bag did a number of the appearance of ours, but you get the idea. Available for $6.29 at the Main Street Bakery.

REVIEW: Mickey-Shaped Cinnamon Roll Brings Classic Treat Back to the Main Street Bakery at Magic Kingdom

WDWNT on May 18, 2017

Since the conversion of the Main Street Bakery at the Magic Kingdom into a Starbucks location a few years ago, many have been lamenting the loss of the cinnamon rolls from the location and their move to Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland. Well, the cinnamon roll is back home with a whole new look!

Retailing for $5.99, the Mickey Mouse-shaped cinnamon roll is available now throughout the day at the Main Street Bakery.

We grabbed ours in the evening before a viewing of the new nighttime spectacular, Happily Ever After.

So how is it?

The snack is flaky, soft and airy. It tasted as if it was freshly baked and not just left out for hours, a problem I often have with the snack at Gaston’s Tavern. Ours was served warm, and the two ears came off as if they were separate cinnamon buns, making this easy to share.

If you enjoy a cinnamon roll at the Magic Kingdom, this is certainly worth a try in lieu of the usual offering.

Earlier today, the Main Street Bakery held a limited soft-opening as they prepare to open with Starbucks items to serve guests on Tuesday.

Concept Art Revealed for the New Main Street Bakery with Starbucks!

WDWNT on March 17, 2013

For those of you who have been wondering how different the Main Street Bakery will be when it reopens in May with Starbucks inside, we managed to uncover some concept art of the interior that you will find very interesting:

The interior is currently being gutted and is getting an entirely new design. Hopefully this new layout will speed up the lines and clear out some of the congestion that was always a problem with the old bakery.

Stay tuned to WDW News Today as more information becomes available on the Main Street Bakery featuring Starbucks products. In the meantime, what do you think of this new look for the Bakery?
