We’ve got a new refreshment for you to try in Hollywood Studios at Hollywood Scoops!
Hard root beer floats have been popping up EVERYWHERE recently around the World – including Beach Club’s Beaches and Cream and Epcot’s Fife and Drum, not to mention the upcoming Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
Now, Hollywood Studios is joining in on the fizzy fun! Hollywood Scoops, if you’re not familiar, is a tiny, early 1900s style house on Hollywood Boulevard just before Tower of Terror and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. When you get tired of all those Mickey Premium Bars (HA!), Hollywood Scoops is known for serving hand-scooped ice cream sundaes and other chilly treats.

The line gets pretty long when it’s hot out, and after adding this delicious treat, we wouldn’t be surprised if it gets longer!

Let’s see that float!

The float sells for $12, which may sound steep, but it’s served with a full bottle of Coney Island Hard Root Beer and two big scoops of vanilla ice cream! (And, honestly, most alcoholic drinks around WDW are going to run you between $10-$15 these days.)

It’s a larger portion than the Epcot version, and it’s my favorite! I think the Coney Island Hard Root Beer has a less alcoholic taste than the Not Your Father’s Root Beer, which makes this more like a traditional float.

I’m happy to see this treat in Hollywood Studios. It’s the perfect way to cool off (and take the edge off after telling your kids to keep their hands to themselves for the last half-hour) in the dog days of summer!

Have you tried a Disney World hard root beer float yet? What did you think?!
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
that sounds rather good!
I agree. The Coney Island makes for a better float. I usually opt for more unique Disney treats that I can’t get/make at home but I can see myself enjoying one of these on a late night while people watching & listening to the BG music in that area.
I’m a sucker for soda floats — root beer and cherry coke floats in particular. Can’t wait!!
Not really a drinker, and I did not know it was an alcoholic beverage when I ordered it, but it was really good. I do like root beer floats and this was one of the best I’ve ever had. My only regret, is not getting another before I left the park.
Just read that this float contains alcoholic? Does anyone know if you can get it with just plain root beer anywhere in the parks? I would love to have a root beer float but not interested in having any alcohol in it! Also, why is Disney so intent on making so many alcoholic drinks available in their parks? This could end up being a real disaster. Not everyone can handle their alcohol and when it gets hot in the parks and crowded people tend to get edgy as it is. I really don’t think it’s a good idea to serve so much alcohol everywhere in Disney World! What happened to this being a “family” park? Just my opinion.
Arlene, the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in the Magic Kingdom, KRNR The Rock Station at Hollywood Studios, and Ghirardelli in Disney Springs offer root beer floats with Barq’s Root Beer, and floats are available at lots of ice cream locations (with various fountain beverages). Hope this helps!
