Main Street Confectionary - July 2020

Posted: Thursday March 25, 2021 9:03am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

Disney has today announced a few more details about the upcoming refurbishment of Main Street Confectionary at the Magic Kingdom.

Main Street Confectionary - July 2020

The refurbishment begins March 29 2021, and as part of the work there will be a brand new look, new interactive features to customize your confections, and an expanded layout.

Many of the treats from Main Street Confectionery will be available at Emporium and Main Street Cinema during the closure.

Main Street Cinema overview

Main Street Cinema is currently closed to prepare for the change, and the artwork and collectibles sold there is now available at the recently reopened Bonjour! Village Gifts in Fantasyland.

The Chapeau will also close on March 29, and with that closure, the hats and embroidery service will relocated to Town Square Theater.

Most of the hats are already in place at Box Office Gifts in Town Square Theater.

Disney hasn't said where the expanded space for Main Street Confectionary will come from, but with The Chapeau closing and being connected, it appears this may become part of Main Street Confectionary.

The refurbishment of Main Street Confectionary will run through to at least June 5 2021, which is the furthest date out that the calendar currently shows. You can view all current and upcoming Walt Disney World refurbishments here.

:joyfull: There is plenty to complain about these days, but this sign isn't one of them.

Good grief, y'all will complain about anything. lol

Y’all are too much.

I initially thought the roundel with “Main Street” written on it was painted/printed on a flat surface and shaded CGI-style. Having just now realised it’s actually in relief and not merely made to look 3D, I like what I’m seeing more.

I was just about to say the same thing but you beat me to it. “Tacky” is a word I commonly associate when people don’t care for Disney’s kitschy style theming. In my opinion it perfectly encapsulates the the Main Street vibe.

Whenever they do a "less is more" approach, people get upset over the loss of kitsch and character. There's really no satisfying everyone with such things, though I will say that I'm generally baffled that there seems to be neither an on-staff calligrapher nor a font historian.

I like it. 🙃

The top half of the sign is acceptable. The bottom half feels like an entirely different composition. Looks like the designer felt compelled to "fill the format" with anything and everything. It's tacky. It's busy and it sucks. Too many typefaces, superfluous scrollwork and ornamental candy additions that are less of an accent and more of an anchor flanking either side of the text in perfect boring symmetry. When is Disney going to get the "less is more" mantra where it matters. What a terribly bad sign design. Overkill.

U-G-L-Y with no alibi. Seriously, this looks like it should be tacked onto The Edison or, heck, even Toothsome over at UNI.

Not great, but could be worse.

Copied from the other site… new updated signage.

6 months, 5 days to build, it would seem.

It would only cost you about $372,000 in "Special 50th Anniversary M&M's" to build it yourself. ;) It is impressive, though, that took a lot of time to create.
