Since Pandora — The World of AVATAR opened last year in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, we’ve been watching the treats at the land’s beverage and snack stand, Pongu Pongu.
Pongu Pongu’s signature snack, Pongu Lumpia, is a pineapple and cream cheese-filled spring roll. It’s been a love/hate snack since some people don’t like the texture — but I think it’s great! But something that does tend to be a big favorite among many is the Night Blossom. This frozen beverage layers apple with desert pear and limeade and is topped with passion fruit popping pearls.
They keep trying to convince me that the Pandoran Sunrise at Satu’li Canteen is Pandora’s signature drink. But, trust me. It’s totally the Night Blossom.
It’s bright and beautiful, both in color and flavor, and we’ve recommended it from the first as one of the best non-alcoholic drink options not only in Animal Kingdom, but in the whole of Disney World.
Wait… did I say “non-alcoholic”? Yes I did… because it is. But NOW, you can also order up a RUM BLOSSOM, which adds Bacardi Superior Rum to the drink!
Oh, by the way… you can also now get a Colossal Pretzel with cheese sauce if you don’t care for the Lumpia.
You’ll find this same gigantic pretzel by the names of Jumbo Pretzel in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion and Pretzel Royale at Prince Eric’s Village Market in Magic Kingdom.
No matter what you choose to nosh on, though, be sure to pair it with a Night OR Rum Blossom! And here are even MORE drinks you need to try in Disney World this year!
Will you be trying a Rum Blossom the next time you’re in Pandora? Please let us know with a comment!

Definitely trying this out in June.

Yesss! I was hoping this would happen. The Night Blossom was far superior to the margarita and I preferred it even without alcohol. Now it’s just better 😉

This was available when we visited the last week of January and it was GLORIOUS

Cool! I’m more partial to rum than to tequila.
