food IS a theme park
Looking for a frozen treat? Look no further than Disney Springs!
Mint Cookies and Cream Shake from Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs!
Disney Springs is home to a couple locations that can provide what you’re looking for! Vivioli il Gelato, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop, Haagen-Dazs, Salt & Straw (coming soon)…the list goes on and on. However, only one of these places is offering the addition of Hefeweizen Grapefruit Beer to their frozen treat!
Here are DFB, we believe the necessity of grabbing a frozen Disney treat from the parks cannot be overstated.
Mickey Bar
Dole whips, soft-serves, and Mickey bars have happily melted into some of our favorite park memories. It’s hard to beat grabbing one of these items on a hot day, and now our furry friends can join in on the fun!
March was a BIG month of news for Disney World and lots of news can sometimes make for surprises!
Walt Disney World
From dining changes to health measure updates and more, let’s take a look at the four most unexpected things that happened in Disney World in March!
The Seven Dwarfs have more than just a mine train in Magic Kingdom!
It’s Doc!
Storybook Treats in Fantasyland makes specialty soft-serve cones based on the Seven Dwarfs! These cones disappeared for a little bit, but they’re finally back. We’ve tried a Cranberry-flavored Grumpy cone and a Caramel, Chocolate, and Espresso cone themed to Doc. Today, we got to try a NEW one!
It’s (almost) always ice cream season in Florida!
Disney Springs
While the weather hasn’t totally cooperated lately, we know sunny skies and sweltering days are right around the corner. With spring here and summery weather arriving, we’re getting SO excited for the opening of another frozen treat spot — Salt & Straw in Disney Springs. And seeing the latest flavors this company has planned for their existing locations is just making us even MORE excited for the shop to open in Disney World!
Okay, so booze and ice cream should be a match made in heaven, right?
Clarabelle’s Ice Cream
We’ve had a lot of delicious ice cream treats with alcohol, including boozy milkshakes, boozy Dole Whips, and ice cream martinis! We’ve enjoyed most of those treats…until now. 😬 We checked out some NEW boozy drinks at Disneyland that seemed promising, and one of them really delivered! But in the end, one of those drinks turned out to be very disappointing.
Ordering the Kitchen Sink Sundae at Beaches & Cream at Disney’s Beach Club Resort is almost a rite of passage.
The Kitchen Sink Sundaes at Disney’s Beach Club Resort
Why? Because the Kitchen Sink Sundae lives up to its name — it literally has EVERYTHING IN IT. But more importantly, when someone orders it, it comes with its own celebration — we’re talking about a siren and a loud announcement. However, when Beaches & Cream reopened after Disney World’s closure, ordering the Kitchen Sink Sundae only came with the sundae. Today something changed, so read on to find out more!
There’s a LOT happening in Disney World today!
Hollywood Studios
First of all, it’s the first official voyage for the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, so we’re onboard the Halcyon for all the excitement. Over at EPCOT, it’s also the first day of the International Flower & Garden Festival. But Hollywood Studios apparently didn’t want to be left out of the fun, because the park got EIGHT new snacks today…and we’re testing them out!
We’re pretty much professional Disney treat eaters here at Disney Food Blog, but even we had to admit defeat with the latest confection we found.
All-Star Movies
Sometimes Disney goes all-out with their treats in terms of flavor or quality. Kakamora DOLE Whip Float? Incredible flavors. A slice of ‘za at Via Napoli? Very high-quality ingredients. And then sometimes Disney takes it to a whole other level and just plain goes all out. You’ll see what we mean. [Read more…]
It’s the moment you’ve all been waiting for… .
