food IS a theme park
Summer is winding down at Disney World, but that doesn’t mean the fun is stopping anytime soon!

Disney just announced a TON of new eats and drinks coming to the parks and beyond, and we’ve got the full list. We can’t wait to try them, and we think you’re going to want to, too!
We hope your taste buds are ready, because a NEW snack stand was just announced for Disney World!
Magic Kingdom
AstroFizz is coming to Magic Kingdom, and we’ve got a first look at the menu!
You know it, I know it, EVERYONE knows it — it can get pretty hot sometimes in Disney World.
Cosmic Ray’s Starlight
Cafe
That’s when it’s time to down a nice frozen drink, like a refreshing Star Wars-themed cold brew, a nice Dole Whip Float, or a Frozen Viking Coffee. We just recently headed on over to Magic Kingdom to review a frozen drink, but this one is Monsters, Inc.-themed.
There are all kinds of souvenirs at Disney World, from things you’ll use every day at home to items you’ll forget about for years until you finally clean out your closets (not speaking from personal experience or anything😉).
So many things!
T-shirts, stuffed animals, purses, balloons, bubble wands…the list goes on and on. And now, a popular souvenir is BACK in Disney World!
We’re in the midst of a hot, humid summer in Walt Disney World, and that kind of weather calls for a cool, refreshing drink! Disney has been showing off several new treats and desserts this week for World Princess Week, but we must interrupt our scheduled princess content to bring you a new slushy!
Flame Tree Barbecue
While we were in Disney’s Animal Kingdom this morning, we noticed a new drink available at a popular quick-service dining location on Discovery Island. Let’s take a look!
Here at DFB, we understand that some of our readers are on special diets and can’t always eat the things we eat at Disney World.
Orange and Raspberry Dole Whip Swirl!
But we want to help you in choosing some of the best food that you CAN eat, so we’re putting together some lists to help you choose.
We’ll admit it — sometimes we forget about certain dining and beverage locations at Disney World, especially if they haven’t been open for a while.
Cool Wash
That’s especially true now that so many places have reopened recently, including Epic Eats and KRNR The Rock Station at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and Harambe Market at Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
Our stroll around the world today had us sipping on a brand new spiked slush — a Troll Kreme. With a name like that you can guess we spotted this picture-perfect slush in Epcot’s Norway pavilion!

You know, a drink is always a lot more fun when it is topped with whipped cream…but was this Troll Kreme a delight or not?
Along with the debut of a lot of Christmas and Holiday themed food and drinks around the parks, we are also seeing the debut of some new “treats with character”! While we were in the Magic Kingdom for the first night of Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party (can’t wait!), we stopped at The Lunching Pad to try out the new Space Ranger Slushy.
Space Ranger Slushy
This Buzz-worthy 😀 layered slushy comes with a rock candy coated straw and is made up of layers of purple grape and green apple slushy.
Do you remember, by chance, how much we loved the Iced Coffee Float at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies?
If not, then lemme tell ya. We loved it a LOT. But since there’s a new sipping spot/coffee joint in Magic Kingdom’s Tomorrowland with Joffrey’s Revive Coffee Kiosk, the offerings at Auntie Gravity’s (also located in Tomorrowland) have changed up a bit.
Now, don’t get me wrong. I think Joffrey’s Revive is a terrific addition to Magic Kingdom. But I have to admit I was bummed to find that one of the subsequent changes was the removal of Iced Coffee Floats from Auntie Gravity’s.
So, with that, it’s time to find a different sipper from Auntie (who still serves up soft-serve ice cream, too, by the way).

Fortunately, she still has a few tricks up her sleeve, as Auntie Gravity’s is one of the few spots where you can find Smoothies, available in Raspberry or Strawberry. [Read more…]
