What do Te Fiti, Mrs. Incredible, and Princess Tiana all have in common? They’re just a small sample of the many STRONG and powerful females in the Disney cinematic universe. (And we get excited every time we see each of these ICONS in the Disney parks, too!)
OK, so why are we talking about iconic Disney women? Well, it’s officially Women’s History Month! To celebrate the occasion, Disney is releasing a TON of new treats around the parks and resorts, including cupcakes, shakes, and more! With all these tempting treats to try, it can be hard to decide what’s worth it. Luckily, we’re here to help! Come with us on a snack-filled JOURNEY around Disney World as we try TONS of new Disney treats.
Let’s start our food tour at Magic Kingdom. Over at the Main Street Bakery, you can try the NEW Minnie Mouse Cupcake! This is a chocolate chip cupcake with cheesecake filling topped with chocolate buttercream, chocolate “ears,” and a chocolate bow! You can try it for $5.99, and it will be available through March 31st.
Okay, so if you’re a frosting person, this has a VERY fudgy, chocolatey, rich, and creamy frosting (can we just get a cup of this icing, please?). We also thought the chocolate chips inside the cheesecake filling provided a nice little crunch. You get plenty of cheesecake filling, and it gives the cupcake a nice cream cheese flavor.
BUT…the cupcake we got was VERY dry. The whole thing is also exceptionally rich, which might be too much for some people. But we think chocolate lovers will appreciate this treat. If you can handle a lot of SWEET flavor, this cute little cupcake might make a fun treat during your day in Magic Kingdom.

Next stop: EPCOT! We visited Sunshine Seasons to try the Moana Milkshake — an orange cream milkshake with whipped cream, seashells, pearls, and a Moana coin. This one is $8.99, and it’s available through March 31st. Everything worked for this snack. The top is just a colorful Cool Whip, but it’s nice and thick and holds up pretty well.
Did we mention how pretty this shake is?
There is a LOT to get through here, though, but once you make it to the actual shake, it’s got a nice Creamsicle-like flavor. The pearls add a nice crunch, but the starfish, shells, and Moana coin are white chocolate pieces that melt in your mouth.
Would we order this again? YES!!!

Time to head to Connections Eatery for the new Lychee Green Tea! This one is a sweet pomegranate-hibiscus green tea with lychee, lime juice, and pomegranate boba pearls, available for $5.99. You have until March 31st to give this one a try! Even if you’re not a fan of lychee, this drink could convince you otherwise. But honestly, the lychee taste is mild, and most of what you get is the pomegranate and hibiscus flavors.
All three work well together to create something floral and fruity at the same time (yes, that doesn’t sound like it should even work, but Disney pulled it off).
The pomegranate boba petals add a splash of bright flavor here, too.

After EPCOT, it was time for Disney’s Hollywood Studios where you can find the Princess of Alderaan Shake at Dockside Diner! This is a salted caramel shake topped with whipped cream, edible glitter, and Leia’s hair buns… ah, we mean cinnamon rolls.
Besides being super cute, this shake is perfectly smooth, sweet, and rich. It’s a great ice cream treat on a hot day! The downside to this snack is the cinnamon rolls. They seemed like the same ones we tried at Ice Cold Hydraulics which we thought were super dry.
If you’re getting this because you love cinnamon rolls, we would suggest hopping over to Magic Kingdom instead. If you want it for the shake, then we think you’ll love it! For $9.79 we did think it was a total bummer that the rolls weren’t better.
Dockside Diner has a special offering for Women’s History Month:

Before we headed to Disney Springs, we stopped by Creature Comforts at Animal Kingdom for the Feathered Friends Mousse Dome! This $7.99 dessert has lavender-white chocolate mousse, orange blossom cake, chocolate coating, chocolate flakes, white chocolate feathers, and buttercream. This treat is beautiful, just like the women we’re celebrating!
Moms, this may be your new nemesis, because it will stain anything your child touches after they’ve been holding this cake! But the “blurple” coloring aside, we noticed a neat flavor we don’t think we’ve tried in Disney before. It reminded us of Fruit Loops and blueberry in the lavender-white chocolate mousse.
It is very sweet because of the buttercream that is in it along with the mousse. It is a very colorful dessert like our feathered friends are, and that means that you’re mouth and fingers are likely to be stained the fun colors as well. We’re pretty sure this is going to be a kid favorite (it will certainly catch their eye with the gold flakes)! It’s good, but you’re gonna have to weigh the pros (yummy new treat) vs the cons (stain everywhere) on this one.

This is a seasonal burger, and it’s one of the reasons we will keep coming back to D-Luxe. The burgers here are consistently good, but this one is elevated by the addition of pork belly, slaw, cilantro, and jalapeño jam, which is what makes it a Banh Mi sandwich. The high-quality pork belly is thick, which made us feel like were getting our money’s worth with this burger.
The veggies, which are SO important in a Banh Mi sandwich, did not disappoint. The slaw added freshness and acidity to cut the fat of the pork burger and pork belly. But the REAL hero of this sandwich is the jalapeño jam because it just ties everything together. It wasn’t a heavy flavor, but it helped meld the sweet and spicy flavors. It’s not SUPER spicy, so don’t let that keep you from trying it (unless you’re completely spice-averse).
There are new offerings in Disney Springs this month too! At D-Luxe Burger you can get this:

We also made our way over to Amorette’s Patisserie to try the new Mardi Gras Petit Cake. It’s made with layers of chiffon, cinnamon cream cheese mousse, bourbon-caramel mousse, and salted praline crunch. Like almost EVERYTHING that Amorette’s creates, it’s also got some gorgeous details, but the best part might be the framed photo of Tiana and Lottie on top! ❤️❤️❤️We also love the bead necklaces that drip down the sides of the cake.
The sponge on the chiffon cake is light and airy. The vanilla buttercream underneath the purple fondant is more battery than sugary, which is a nice balance of frosting that we really enjoy. However, we weren’t entirely sure why it’s vanilla buttercream because, with all those other rich flavors, it almost seems like a salted caramel or cinnamon would’ve worked better. We did taste each element separately, and we thought each flavor fell flat. However, when you mix it all together, it creates something nice.
We would’ve liked it better if the bourbon, caramel, and cinnamon flavors were more spread throughout the cake. We’ll say that it’s good, but it’s not the best cake we’ve had at Amorette’s. It is, however, pricey for how little you get, at $22, so it feels like you’re paying an upcharge just for some pretty Instagram photos.
