How the HECK is March already halfway over?! With so many new announcements in Disney World, time really flies! One minute we’re welcoming the Flower & Garden Festival to EPCOT, and the next we’re checking out the new Space 220 menu. There are lots of changes happening in the parks and resorts right now and we never know what we might find around the corner!

Whether you’re here for the food updates or want to check out the latest merchandise, we’re here to share ALL the updates from Disney World. Let’s take a look at what we found in the Magic Kingdom this week! 

Magic Kingdom Entertainment Updates

Dapper Dans

The beloved Dapper Dans are performing on Main Street, U.S.A. once again! Previously, you could catch them up on the Main Street Train Station, but it’s nice to be able to see them back on the ground.

You may also see them performing on the Main Street Trolley car. Keep your eyes (and ears) out for some classic show tunes — the Dapper Dans are surely nearby! For a full list of showtimes, you can check out our handy post here or check the My Disney Experience app.

This pastel Easter Minnie Caramel Apple is $10.99.

We were SO excited to find the beloved Karamell-Küche popcorn at Big Top Treats! 

It’s $6.99 for a bag of that fresh, delicious Wether’s Original Caramel Popcorn. This is the first time we’ve seen this popcorn for sale in the Magic Kingdom! If you’ve followed us for a while, you know that we LOVE Karamell-Küche treats, so now that this popcorn is available in the Magic Kingdom, we have MORE excuses to indulge in this treat.

A Popular Seasonal Snack Is Now Available Year-Round in Disney World! 🤤

Main Street Confectionery

The Main Street Confectionery has a variety of sweet treats, like caramel apples, Mickey rice krispies, and marshmallows. Now, this shop is also selling Easter cupcakes! We’ve seen a variation of this cupcake in the past, but this year the colors are a little different!

These adorable cupcakes are $5.19 each.

Disney World cupcakes are known to be pretty sweet and typically have a LOT of icing!

Magic Kingdom Construction Updates

TRON Update

We checked in on the TRON Lightcycle Run construction and noticed that Imagineers were doing some vehicle testing! This has us SO excited to ride the attraction someday.

Speaking of the construction, Disney recently shared an update on the outer canopy; you can check out the video here!

Walt Disney World Railroad

It’s been a busy few days for Imagineers! We also spotted the Walt Disney World Railroad doing some ride testing by the Fantasyland station. The train has been unavailable for guests due to TRON construction (The construction is blocking the train tracks!).

MORE ride testing! But this time…the RAILROAD 🚂 pic.twitter.com/9XRZIJqBYJ
