food IS a theme park
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Entrance
And, we’ve got plenty of merchandise and food updates to share with you, so let’s dive right on in!
The Polite Pig is a quality counter-service restaurant at Disney Springs. This place serves up some of the tastiest barbecue dishes we’ve had at Walt Disney World…
NEW Drink from The Polite Pig!
…but what about their mixed drinks? Could they hold up to the high-calibered Sweet Potato Mash? We heard that the decadent bbq joint was mixing up something new lately. We headed over to see if the Root Beer Bourbon Cream Float was as good as it sounds!
EPCOT is full of fresh bites and cocktails for guests looking to try something unique and delish.
A fan favorite has returned!
This theme park is home to some of our favorite snacks and a huge assortment of beer, wine, and mixed drinks. We headed to Refreshment Outpost to see if anything new goodies showed up since our last visit. While perusing the menu, we spotted a familiar tasty treat behind the bar. Could it be? Has one of our favorite drinks made a comeback??
We need to form a calming circle STAT because we’re a little too excited about the latest Starbucks hack we’re bringing you for Halloween time!
It’s just a bunch of Hocus Pocus!
Hocus Pocus is a staple when it comes to our spooky season festivities. And, it’s pretty obvious that Disney treasures it (even more than Sarah’s lucky rat tail) since merchandise has popped up all around the parks already. As you get ready to listen to “I Put a Spell on You” on repeat during your next trip to Starbucks, you might want to bring three of your best friends or sistaaahhs to grab THREE Hocus Pocus-themed drinks this Halloween season!
Even though we’ve been seriously enjoying ALL of the amazing snacks from the 2020 Taste of EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival, we can’t forget that there are several other spots to grab a meal or a special treat around EPCOT outside of the festival.
The Land Pavilion
So, today we resisted the temptation to eat our way around the world, and instead made our way over to The Land pavilion to see what new food we could find.
Pumpkin spice here, pumpkin spice there, it feels like we’ve been seeing pumpkin spice everywhere in Disney World (not that we mind it)!
Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini
Pumpkin Spice Lattes popped up in the parks a few weeks ago, but now lots of other themed goodies like the Pumpkin Spice Rice Krispie Treats, Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream Mac-Tini, and Pumpkin Bread Tiramisu have trickled in for the Halloween season. Even though that’s a LOT of pumpkin spice, we can’t seem to get enough of it during the Fall!
We still fondly look back on the days we would hide our Halloween candy so we could savor it long after trick-or-treating. But, nowadays we’d rather just indulge on all the spooky snacks and sips that have been popping up in Disney World instead! 😉
Halloween Treats at Disney’s Yacht & Beach Club
Although pumpkin spice and even poison apples have practically been the poster children for Halloween treats in the parks, there’s something just so nostalgic about candy corn this time of the year. And Disney’s been serving up looks with Candy Corn Witch Ears and mixing up candy corn treats in the parks and resorts for guests of all ages to enjoy!
Welcome back, DFB friends! We’re here with another What’s New at EPCOT!
EPCOT
And, we’ve got plenty of construction, food, and merchandise updates, so let’s dive right on in!
We’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and having a fun adventure (even if it’s raining)!
Tree of Life
While we made our way to Expedition Everest to say hello to our old pal Disco Yeti, we found a bit of a pleasant surprise in the park. Although Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks has been half closed since the parks reopened (Trek Snacks has been open, but Thirsy River Bar has been closed), it had a random re-opening today for guests!
Everyone has their favorite Disney snack! Whether you’re a corn dog nuggets fan, or you MUST get a Dole Whip every single day of your trip, there are SO many delicious options to choose from.
Pineapple Dole Whip
But, if you haven’t been to Disney World since it reopened, you may be wondering…“Can I still get some of my favorite snacks?” Some of our favorite treats have disappeared or are unavailable at the moment, but these 10 snacks are still available and ready for you to enjoy!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
