Earth Day has ARRIVED in Disney World, and a great place to celebrate nature and animals is Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! Disney celebrates holidays big and small, including Earth Day, with specialty treats and more.
Animal Kingdom Lodge is STUNNING!
Today, we’re headed to The Mara in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge to try a FUN new treat! WALL-E fans, you’re gonna like this one. 🌱
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge is serving up a special new treat, but it’s only available on April 22nd, 2022. Over at The Mara, we ordered the Plant (Based) in Boot, which is a Chocolate Spice Cake with Coconut Ganache in a Chocolate Boot. As the name cleverly implies, this is a plant-based dessert! It costs $6.99.
Plant (Based) in Boot
And look how cute it is! It’s so well done and it looks just like the boot plant WALL-E finds. So…should you EAT A BOOT in Disney World? Turns out, the answer is “yes!” We loved this dessert more than we thought we would!
It’s so CUTE
Let’s just start out by saying that eating this treat is an EXPERIENCE. It’s kind-of like a chocolate Easter bunny (except boot) filled with spice cake and you’re going to want to eat this with a more hands-on approach.
The top of the boot!
The boot is very chocolate-heavy and since it’s mostly hard chocolate, we actually broke our fork trying to grab a bite. 😂 We ended up picking up the boot to take a bite. Can you can imagine what we must have looked like taking bites out of a boot?! We had to wait for the chocolate “glue” holding the boot to the plate to melt a bit before we could pick it up.
Uhhh
The chocolate was delicious and our favorite part was the spice cake! Eating through the chocolate shell (er…boot) to get to the cake was actually a lot of fun! We didn’t really taste the coconut ganache, but we’re not mad about it — we thought the flavors we tasted were pretty perfect!
Yum!
This dessert was really unique, and we’re hoping Disney considers making it a permanent plant-based treat! If you love adventurous eats, chocolate, or spice cake (or all three!), whether you’re a vegan or not, you may want to try this! But if you’re not a fan of chocolate or have sensitive teeth — you might want to skip this.
This might be our favorite thing
If you don’t mind eating a boot in public 😂, you should consider trying this treat! Take a look at it in action in our video below.
Happy EARTH DAY 🌎 Celebrate with this NEW treat!
