The treats are a large part of the experience in all Orlando theme parks. Although standard themed park dishes such as daddy beard and caramel apples are tasty, you sometimes want something a little more custom. This is where the confectionery on the main street of Magic Kingdom enters the scene. Inside the main street confectionery, you can make your own popcorn creation with mixtures, sauces and various popcorn flavors. The price depends on the number of mixes you add. I love doing this just before leaving the park and snacking on my creation after my return to my hotel room while watching a film.
