food IS a theme park
It’s a rather busy day at Disney World! Do you think there’s some sort of celebration happening?
Cinderella Castle
Of course, today is the day we’ve been waiting for — it’s the 50th Anniversary! We’ve been all over Disney World this week checking out all of the 50th Anniversary offerings around the parks and resort and eating as many EARidescent treats as humanly possible. And now we’re trying one of the drinks that we’ve been most excited about!
We’re just days away from the start of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations!
Vivoli il Gelato
You can celebrate the big event by grabbing some of the new merchandise, checking out some of the new snacks, or even getting a tiara. Now, Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs is joining in on the fun with a treat that’s truly fit for the 50th!
It’s finally upon us — Star Wars Day!
Look! It’s the Millennium Falcon!
All across the galaxy, fans are celebrating May the 4th in spectacular fashion! At Disney World, guests have flocked to Batuu to ride Rise of the Resistance, pilot the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy, enjoy some out-of-this-world eats, and take some great photos. And Disney knows how much we want to celebrate, so they’re offering some limited-time treats!
We won’t lie — we love playing with our food. And we love coming up with food hacks to take a snack up a level or to create something entirely new!
The most controversial milk in the galaxy!
We’ve already played around with a cool Dole Whip hack, as well as mixed Churros with Coconut Dole Whip (hello, YUM!). We even hacked a Valentine’s Day treat to turn it into something even more epic. But today, we’re turning to that most controversial of snacks — the Blue Milk at Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
It’s Earth Month!
Ready to Go to Animal Kingdom?!
All throughout Disney’s Animal Kingdom, there are special, NEW treats, experiences, and more coming this month in celebration of Earth Day. Earlier today we got to try a new drink that basically tasted like we were sipping on cotton candy in liquid form and we got to try another cotton-candy topped creation. But, now, it’s time for ANOTHER new drink, with a very colorful look!
Disney World is a magical place to go on a vacay!
Enchanted Rose
But have you ever explored the spell-binding lounge at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa themed after Disney’s Beauty and the Beast? It’s called Enchanted Rose, and the space itself is very enchanting!
Starbucks recently debuted a new Guava Passionfruit drink — and we had to give this pretty pink drink a try!
Starbucks in Disney Springs
While walking around Disney Springs, sometimes we need a cool beverage to keep us refreshed. And we’ve tried all kinds of fun, summery drinks at Starbucks, like the Campfire Cold Brew and Picnic Punch!
On a hot day at Animal Kingdom, we’ll never turn down the chance to cool off at the local watering hole!
Animal Kingdom’s Dawa Bar
In this case, that watering hole is our ol’ favorite Dawa Bar in the Africa section of the park, and we’re heading there to check out a new, delicious seasonal concoction. After tasting the new Bugs n’ Grubs Cupcake nearby, we were ready for something to wash it down!
Ahhh, the infamous Beverly soda. You know the one — it’s the bitter soda from Italy that’s located in Club Cool in Epcot’s Future World at Walt Disney World. The one you trick your friends into drinking as you photograph their reactions for posterity. Yeah, that Beverly.
Club Cool Flavors in Epcot
Beverly used to be found only in Epcot’s Future World, but when the Coca-Cola Store Orlando opened in Disney Springs a few years ago, they brought the Beverly with them. [Read more…]
For our “happy hour Friday” post, we’re happy to welcome back Chef BigFatPanda with a new seasonal drink recipe inspired by a great event — Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party!
Chef’s DIY Disney column here on the Disney Food Blog treats us to step-by-step directions to make at-home recipes that remind us of our favorite Disney destinations. His latest beverage continues a series of unique magical drinks.
Clearly this one will remind you of the holiday season! With cinnamon, ginger, and coffee flavors, I wonder if this might even taste great as a warm drink! Reminds me of a fun drink I once had at the Dawa bar during a cold, rainy, holiday season!
Kahlua, Schnapps and Vodka
Chef says, “This is a strong one with all the flavor and spice of the season! I might consider some whip cream and perhaps a candy cane hanging off the glass to dress it up in the future.”
Over ice:
1.5 oz Kahlua
1 oz of Cinnamon Schnapps
1 oz of Ginger Vodka
2.5 oz of Milk (lowfat is fine)
Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Drink
Merry Tipsy Christmas! Let me know what you think!
