A themed indoor restaurant with a castle-like decor. Several employees are behind the counter, serving customers who are lined up. The ceiling has decorative chandeliers, and the walls mimic stonework.

Candy Cauldron closed for its refurbishment in August 2024.

Inside a theme park bakery with medieval decor, four staff members work behind a counter. Shelves with goods are in the background, and a woman waits in line in the foreground.

While we didn’t notice much change inside, we did see that the cash wraps have been updated.

A restaurant counter with a heart and sword mural, cash registers, and napkin dispensers. Red and yellow checkered floor tiles in front. Employees stand behind the counter.

The front of the cash wraps are now mostly brown instead of fully emulating the Evil Queen’s heart box from “Snow White.” The heart and dagger are still present but are now flanked on the left and right with brown wood and gold accents with three-pointed crowns.

A person wearing a mask and chef's jacket stands in front of a wall painted to resemble a medieval dungeon or kitchen with archways, shelves, and a cauldron.

The mural along the back wall appears the same as before, depicting the Evil Queen’s secret lair.

A group of people stand in line inside a store with a decorated ceiling and colorful flooring. A person is on top of a display on the left side of the image.

Guests queue around the center of the store. Temporary stanchions have been set up to keep lines organized.

A store display features a cloaked figure holding a red apple above a display case with merchandise such as keychains and figurines; the background shows a large window and two exit doors.

The Old Hag statue stands watch at the doors above multiple shelves of candy.

Two new frozen drink machines have been added behind the counter to serve Candy Cauldron’s new Frozen Glaciers, with alcohol options available for an additional cost.

A drink machine with colorful beverage options, including blue raspberry, cherry, and cola, is set against a wall with wooden trim. Bottles and a box of stirrers are visible on the right.

Here, you can see Fanta Wild Cherry, Coca-Cola, and Fanta Blue Raspberry available and ready to serve. When we visited, Minute Maid Lemonade was not ready to serve just yet.

Menu board titled "Frozen Glaciers" displaying various flavored slushies and alcoholic slushies with prices, including a cherry "poison" apple for $10.99 and cauldron brew glacier for $8.99.

The menu is on display just above the machines. Standard Frozen Glaciers are priced at $5.99 and Frozen Glaciers with alcohol are $13.50 each. Alcohol options include rum, tequila, vodka, whiskey, and cinnamon whiskey. A Cauldron Brew Glacier is also available for $8.99, with additional toppings for $1 each.
