Magic Kingdom’s Emporium Unveils New Cash Registers and Refreshed Look

Guests visiting Magic Kingdom’s Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A., will notice significant changes as the first room of the iconic merchandise shop has undergone a refurbishment, revealing new double cash registers and updated aesthetics. This renovation aims to streamline the checkout process and improve guest flow within the bustling store.

The most notable alteration in this initial section of the Emporium is the addition of an entire new row of cash registers, effectively doubling the previous capacity. The old built-in shelves that once lined the area have been removed, creating more open space. In their place, a series of smaller, lighter brown wood shelving units now form the queue for the new checkout lines, guiding guests into an aisle flanked by two rows of registers.

As part of the ongoing refurbishment efforts throughout the Emporium, this renovated space also boasts new tile flooring. The updated design features brown squares with white diamond-shaped tiles, a departure from the older light-colored square and dark diamond patterns. A striking row of green diamond-shaped tiles against a white background, bordered by beige and black, elegantly separates the old and new flooring. In the center of the floor, a decorative “carpet” pattern of beige, blue, and white tiles adds a touch of classic charm.

The old checkout counters along the back wall have been replaced with new, dark wood counters topped with light marble countertops, mirroring the store’s traditional style. The new second checkout row is positioned a few feet away, facing the first. Both feature decorative 3D elements on their front panels and metal grates around the register podiums. While the built-in shelves on the wall behind the counters remain, they now feature new “The Emporium” signage with black cursive lettering within a circle set against white panels, prominently displaying exclusive Starbucks tumblers.

The wall on the right side of the room, which previously held built-in merchandise shelves, has been cleared to provide more waiting space for guests, and now features two decorative mirrors. The red and beige arabesque wallpaper remains the same design as before, maintaining the Emporium’s familiar ambiance. A new stained glass “Register” ceiling lamp has been added to this area, although similar lights have always been a fixture in this room. Another one of these beautiful lamps now hangs a few yards away at the opposite end of the register row, increasing the number of such lights over these counters from one to two.

Disney Moves Around the Emporium in the Magic Kingdom

These changes are consistent with other refurbishment work across the Emporium, indicating Disney’s strategic efforts to streamline navigation and increase checkout efficiency. With the first room now complete, construction walls have moved to block the back half of the Emporium’s center room. This area previously housed a large circular checkout counter, and it is anticipated that this counter, along with some of the surrounding built-in shelves, will be removed in favor of smaller, more linear counter designs, further enhancing the store’s flow for guests.
