We love a good throwback, and this time, we’re throwing it as far back as we possibly can…to opening day of Walt Disney World!
Orange bird ornament
Orange Bird is a popular character in Disney World, with lots of merchandise and treats dedicated to him. But did you know when Magic Kingdom first opened there was a drink dedicated to him? And now you can make it at home!
Disney recently released a recipe for a long-extinct drink from the opening day of Magic Kingdom that you might not even know existed back then. They sent out the recipe to Annual Passholders, but now, we’re opting to pay it forward. Come with us as we walk you through the steps to make an Orange Bird Flip!

This used to be served in Adventureland from the Sunshine Pavilion, right where Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room and Aloha Isle Refreshments currently stand.

It’s pretty simple actually and only requires a handful of ingredients. For one serving you’ll need:
- 1/2 cup of Florida orange juice
- 1 pasteurized raw egg
- 2 tablespoons of lime juice
- 1 tablespoon of honey
- an orange slice
- a mint sprig

Here comes the hardest part of all… just kidding! You actually just throw the juices, egg, and honey into a blender together.

Keep blending at high speed until your drink is “smooth and frothy.”

This is best served straight from blended so be sure to line up your favorite cup or glass to hold your drink.

And there you have it!

Sounded yummy until U got to the “ Raw Egg” part 😱. No way would I drink that 🤮🤮🤮
A flip normally is only a raw egg WHITE….i haven’t heard on one with a whole egg….
Oops. NeverMind. A little googling corrected me.
With a little spirit, I’m sure this drink will be perfectly passable!!
