New Check-Out Counter and Flooring Installed in Emporium at Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom’s Emporium Gets a Magical Makeover with New Counters, Flooring, and Finishing Touches

The iconic Emporium on Main Street, U.S.A. is slowly unveiling a brand-new look, and Disney fans are definitely going to want to take a stroll through. Since kicking off its multi-phase refurbishment earlier this year, the largest shop in Magic Kingdom is getting a major glow-up—from fresh flooring and vintage-inspired wallpaper to stylish new checkout counters that fit right into the turn-of-the-century aesthetic.

From Casey’s Corner to the Park Entrance: Progress Marches Down Main Street

The Emporium’s refurbishment journey started in the room closest to Casey’s Corner, but construction has steadily moved down the block to the room near the park entrance. During our latest visit, we spotted some big updates in this area, including:

• Brand-new check-out counters made from light brown wood with elegant bronze accents and decorative bronze grates
• A refreshed white and beige wallpaper in a vintage floral pattern, replacing the previous red or blue-gray walls
• Framed vintage photos and sports memorabilia behind the counters—like medals and themed hand fans—tying into the Casey’s Corner baseball motif
• Raised ceilings and structural column detailing, giving the space a more open and classic department-store feel

Function Meets Flexibility

One of the most functional upgrades? The replacement of built-in merchandise walls with movable display units. These allow Disney to easily adjust the shop layout based on crowd flow and seasonal merchandise. While there are still a few open areas, we expect more modular displays to be added soon.

Elsewhere in the shop, construction walls have come down in several sections, revealing beautiful wood-style flooring in a lighter tone than before. The registers near the former Magic Shop area are now open and styled similarly to the other new counters—with gold-toned lighting, vintage wallpaper, and framed art bringing a cohesive, elegant vibe to the space.

Smaller Details, Big Charm

Across each newly updated room, you’ll find subtle nods to the turn-of-the-century theme that defines Main Street, U.S.A.:

• New chandeliers in the latest room match the existing fixtures but add a touch of variety with their rounded shape and frosted glass
• Columns clad in updated wallpaper—white and beige in front, with striped accents on the back—add texture and polish
• Mobile checkout podiums and updated shelving near exits help guide the flow of guests

Even the exit doors have gotten in on the refurb fun, with fresh white paint and a touch of stained glass that fits right in with the nostalgic charm of the Emporium.

What’s Next?

With the refurbishment marching toward completion, we’re eager to see if the final touches—like new wallpaper in the back rooms or more artwork installations—will arrive in the coming weeks. Whether you’re hunting for Loungeflys, picking up a Mickey tee, or just soaking in the ambiance, the refreshed Emporium is the perfect blend of function, fashion, and Main Street magic.
