Big Top Treats at the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World

By Nick:

I've written about Big Top Souvenirs in the Storybook Circus section of the Magic Kingdom in the past, and talked briefly about Big Top Treats, located within the big tent. I thought we'd take a more in depth look at the snacks available there today.

You can get caramel corn, cotton candy, and Goofy Glaciers, which are essentially ices or slushies.

You can get fudge, cookies, cake pops, cupcakes, brownies, and you can even go "healthy" with chocolate covered strawberries or a caramel apple!

And you can watch many of these treats being made right before your eyes!

I bought a Mickey Candy Apple on our last trip. This is more of a meal than a snack!

 

How do you eat this ginormous treat? Well, you can ask to have it cut into pieces right there. Yes, it is sad, but sad delicious!

You can take your snack (or meal) outside to enjoy, and perhaps be lucky enough to catch a Main Street Philharmonic performance!

Big Top Souvenirs at The Magic Kingdom

By: Nick

Ladies and Gentlemen, please direct your attention to the Storybook Circus portion of the New Fantasyland expansion, to discover the most stupendous, the most terrific, the most fantastic new shopping experience in all of Walt Disney World: Big Top Souvenirs!

That may have sounded like hyperbole, up there, but this really is a fantastic place, with a circus tent atmosphere located in the new Fantasyland section of the Magic Kingdom next to Pete's Silly Sideshow.

The fun starts before you even get inside the store. On one of the days we visited, 2 Cast Members were out front, and they were pin trading in a new and novel way.

The pins were presented on popcorn themed cushions! Love it!

 

The circus atmosphere continues throughout your shopping or dinning experience. 

I did say dining, as there is a snack section and a beverage section. I didn't have any of the goodies this trip, but will be sure to the next time I go to the circus.

It's great to see one of my all time favorite characters, Humphrey the Bear, represented. Not familiar with Humphry? Please check out some posts about him here.

There are circus cars all around the store, serving different purposes, such as this embroidery station.

Checkout locations.

They have all sorts of merchandise, from your basic Walt Disney World and Mickey Mouse tees...

... to special items, such as these hats, mugs and plates featuring Dumbo.

So come one, come all, to the newest and best store in all of Fantasyland: Big Top Souvenirs!
