Big Top Souvenirs inside Magic Kingdom’s Storybook Circus has officially re-opened after a 6-month refurbishment! This large confectionery gift shop closed back in February and is now fully refreshed, offering a new selection of treats and seasonal merchandise. Some of the biggest changes include a brand-new, vibrant circus tent, the flooring restored to its original circus motif, additional seating to enjoy Big Top treats inside, and exciting new menu items.
One of the new, exclusive Big Top treats is the “Circus Chips” – a sweet and salty snack.
Circus Chips – corn chips coated in brown sugar and cinnamon – $5.29
Perfect for little ones and the young at heart, the new “Big Top Dippers” are a great way to enjoy a caramel apple in a more bite-sized, fun way.
Big Top Dippers – animal crackers and apple slices served with vanilla buttercream, Wether’s Original Caramel, and colorful sprinkles for dipping – $6.99
Dumbo Cookie Sandwich – two Dumbo-shaped sugar cookies with vanilla buttercream and rainbow sprinkles – $7.99
Dumbo Caramel Apple – dipped in Wether’s Original Carmel, white chocolate, and fondant details – $14.99
Returning favorites include the over-sized Mickey chocolate chip cookie, Mickey and Minnie cupcakes, assorted fudge, and the seasonal Werther’s Original Pumpkin Butter Bar.
Outside of Germany in EPCOT, Big Top is the only other place you can get freshly-made Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn. The smell of the sweet, buttery popcorn hits you as soon as you walk into the circus tent.
Werther’s Original Caramel Popcorn – $7.99
Big Top is also one of two places that currently sells “Goofy’s Glaciers” – Disney World’s take on an ICEE. The only other place you can find them is Goofy’s Candy Company at Disney Springs. Goofy’s Glaciers are priced at $6.79 and current flavors include –
- Coca-Cola
- Fanta Wild Cherry
- Fanta Blue Raspberry
- Fanta Mango
- Fanta Pina-Colada
- Minute Maid Lemonade
One of the biggest improvements to the refreshed Big Top is the tables and chairs now available inside. While there has always been outdoor seating, this is a much improved option to enjoy a treat out of the Florida heat and rain.
In addition to the hand-made sweets, caramel popcorn, and Goofy’s Glaciers, you can also find cold, bottled drinks, and pre-packaged candy and other Disney-branded snacks.
If you’ve spent time in Big Top before, the decor looks exactly the same with circus stripes, train cars, and circus animal art. This is one of the largest gift shops in Magic Kingdom and is also the exit to Pete’s Silly Sideshow – home of the Storybook Circus meet and greet for Goofy, Donald, Minnie, and Daisy.
Big Top is a great place to find a wide-range of merchandise including hard to get items and essentials like cooling towels, autograph books, and a FuelRod machine.
If you’ve visited Big Top in recent years, you might have noticed the carpet was not themed. In fact, it was a distracting, modern gray carpet due to a flood and fire in early 2020. The circus themed flooring might seem subtle but adds to Big Top being one of the best-themed spaces at Disney World.
Big Top Souvenirs is worth the visit on your Magic Kingdom day! The sweets line-up is often more impressive and less crowded than Main Street’s Confectionery. We’re so happy to see Big Top is back open and better than ever. This is especially good news heading into the holiday season!
