“Is This Place Ever Open?”: Sunshine Tree Terrace

There are three places in Walt Disney World where you can order the coveted pineapple Pineapple Float: Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland, Captain Cook’s quick service restaurant at the Polynesian Resort, and here…Sunshine Tree Terrace, also in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland. (Note: Sunshine Tree Terrace no longer serves Pineapple Dole Whip, but the Citrus Swirl is back as of early 2012.)

Sunshine Tree Terrace

Sunshine Tree Terrace was an original fixture in Walt Disney World. With the Florida Citrus Growers (FCG) as a sponsor of the pavilion, this was the place to get orange juice and citrus-based concoctions, including the Citrus Swirl.

Sunshine Tree Terrace Open for Business

The FCGs’ Orange Bird mascot became a well-known fixture in Adventureland, and he appeared as both an audio-animatronic at Sunshine Tree Terrace and as a costumed character outside of the restaurant. The little Orange Bird has been removed from the restaurant’s decor in the years since the FCGs’ sponsorship expired in 1986.

Florida Citrus Growers' Orange Bird

Today, the Sunshine Tree Terrace is the place to get your pineapple float (a “dole whip float” with vanilla soft serve), along with other ice cream floats, slushes, milkshakes, and snacks. You can still get orange juice here, I’m happy to note.

Sunshine Tree Terrace Menu circa 2009

Sunshine Tree Terrace is probably open a bit a bit more often during the year than the other two restaurants highlighted in the “Is This Place Ever Open?” series, but it’s a seasonal restaurant and has rarely been open when I’ve been in the World.

A lot of fantastic “vintage Disney” posts have been written about the Sunshine Tree Terrace and the Orange Bird recently, and I’m going to send you over to one of my favorite websites, Widen Your World, to read up on the extensive history of Sunshine Tree Terrace and its Adventureland surroundings.

Halloween Treats in Disney World

Halloween Balloons at Disney World

While we all start stocking up on candy, cutting holes in sheets, and peeling grapes for home-made haunted houses, I thought I’d share the “spirit of the season” — Disney Foodie style!

Disney World has been setting the Halloween stage for two months now (remember those pumpkins on Main Street?), and I was so impressed by all of the fun Disney Halloween snacks and kitchen items at the World — I couldn’t wait until October 31st to share them with you!

WDW Halloween Display

Halloween foods like candy corn, brown and orange striped chocolate-covered pretzels, crisped rice treats shaped like candy corn and pumpkins, Mickey Jack-o-lantern and Jack Skellington candy apples, and more can be found spread throughout Disney gift shops and especially in Disney candy stores and bakeries!

The Main Street Confectionery even had a special fudge flavor for the season — Reese’s Pieces! Doesn’t it look so sweet your teeth start to hurt?!

And Minnie’s orange-and-purple witch hat was a big theme this year. I thought these little candy-filled Minnie ear hats were adorable. Perfect for halloween party favors. We also received Minnie witch hats on our “Celebration” cupcakes at Chef Mickey’s (notice the little eyes peeking out from under the hat on the cupcake)!

Halloween kitchen items and accessories were all over the place! I thought this was a great display in Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

You can even get the apron embroidered!

I also thought the paper products throughout the Resort were a great touch. Mickey looks so excited to be jumping into that pile of leaves on the haunted house-themed cup!

Happy Halloween!
For those of you heading to Disney World in time to celebrate Halloween, have a blast, be safe, and Bon Appetit! For those of you who get to wait another year to see Halloween at Disney World, I hope this has been a fun little foodie tour of how the parks celebrate this spookiest of seasons…

Animal Kingdom Picnic in the Park Review

By AJ 8 Comments

September 2012 Update:

Picnic in the Park in its original format stopped being offered in 2010. After, a grab-and-go option was offered from Beastly Bazaar in Discovery Island. The Grab and Go meal came with a reusable bag. Meal choices for two ($17.99), three ($24.99) or four ($32.99) persons. Meals included: choice of sandwiches, chips, desserts, plus a bottled water. Guests with the Disney Dining Plan could use quick-service credits.

Beastly Bazaar closed in August 2012. Therefore, we are unsure if the grab and go picnic option was moved to another merchandise location. Stay tuned for more information.

May 2010 NOTE: Picnic in the Park has had even more changes. Now, the picnic is available via a grab and go section in the Beastly Bazaar in Discovery Island. The picnic is sandwiches-only — no chicken or ham available any longer. To read more, see this Picnic in the Park post.
__________________

Note: Picnic in the Park service was discontinued as of January 2, 2010, and will become a “seasonal offering.” No word yet on when that “season” will begin.

Note: As of November 25, 2009, some changes have been made to the menu posted below. Changes are as follows:

Ham is no longer available as an option in the Animal Kingdom Picnic in the Park. It’s sandwiches, chicken, or nuthin!
Sides for Tier 1 meals have been whittled down to only: Chips, Coleslaw, Seasonal Fruit Salad, or Tomato Cucumber Salad.
Sides for Tier 2 meals have been whittled down to only: Macaroni & Cheese, Seasonal Fruit Salad, Mashed Potatoes & Gravy, Tandoori Spiced Tofu and Zucchini Squash, and Oven-Roasted Potato Wedges.
Orders can be made at either Island Mercantile or Guest Relations, prior to 2:30pm.
Tier 1 orders are now retrieved at Dino-Bites in Dinoland. Tier 2 orders are still retrieved at Kusafiri Bakery.

_______________________________________
You guys remember waaaaay back in April when I posted about the new Animal Kingdom Picnic in the Park option — I couldn’t wait til it was my turn. Well, I finally got to try it!

Re-useable Picnic Bag

How Does Animal Kingdom Picnic in the Park Work?
You can have a picnic in the park any day of the week. It’s an inexpensive alternative to restaurant eating, and a way to enjoy the Animal Kingdom in a way you might not have otherwise.

Ordering is easy. Head to the counter outside Island Mercantile between 8:30am-1pm, check out the menu, and order up! (Note: As of November 25, 2009, you can also order your picnic at Guest Relations.)

Ordering Station for Picnic in the Park

You can choose a designated time to pick up your meal (after 11:30am), at which time you bring your receipt over to Kusafiri Bakery just outside Tusker House in Animal Kingdom’s Africa. (Note: As of November 25, 2009, Tier One orders pick up at Dino-Bites in Dinoland; all other Tiers pick up at Kusafiri.)

Kusafiri Bakery Pick-Up for AK Picnic in the Park

They’ll hand you your trusty totebag and a map with picnic spots marked. We like the picnic spots in Camp Minnie Mickey and along the pathway between Africa and Asia the best. Which do you prefer?

AK Picnic In the Park Picnic Spots Map

On this day, though, I was picking up our lunch and taking it back to the hotel room in time for a meeting. We’d ordered the rotisserie chicken meal for two people, mac and cheese for a side, and a brownie and a cookie for dessert. All meals come with small bottles of Dasani water.

We were starving (no breakfast…tsk tsk tsk…), and found the chicken we ordered to be some of the best rotisserie chicken we’d ever tasted!

AK Picnic in the Park Meal -- Rotisserie chicken, mac and cheese side, brownie, cookie, water

The mac and cheese we ordered as a side was good as well — let’s say it was better than KFC and not as good as Jiko. 😉 Unfortunately, we weren’t impressed with the desserts. They were pretty dry and probably not worth the calories. When we do the Picnic in the Park again, I’ll order the “crisped rice treat.” Disney does those very well!

Worth it?
The cost is pretty similar to a counter-service meal in the park, and you might actually get more food for the money (we had plenty left over!); also, you can use one quick-service credit on the dining plan for this meal.

The cost is both a pro and a con, I think. If you’re in the Animal Kingdom on a beautiful day, taking the picnic to a quiet corner of the park and enjoying the outdoors in a completely different place than you ever have before can be both relaxing and peaceful. However, if you’re in the Animal Kingdom on a hot, crowded, humid day, sitting outside with your food instead of in an air-conditioned Pizzafari can be downright frustrating! Choose accordingly.

In my opinion, the Picnic in the Park can be a great value. If you get the sandwich meals, you can easily save leftovers in the fridge for the next day’s lunch. Also, if you are able to use the reusable totebag when you get back home, all the better!

Info and Details
For more information, here are some scans of the picnic in the park brochure with all the details! NOTE: As of November 25, 2009, some changes have been made to the menu posted below. Changes are as follows:

Ham is no longer available as an option in the Animal Kingdom Picnic in the Park. It’s sandwiches, chicken, or nuthin!

Dining In Disney World With Kids: Part 1

By AJ 3 Comments

Introducing the Disney Food BlogDining in Disney World With Kids two-part series! Thanks to Zannaland for guest blogging Part 1, where she includes a few of her favorite family secrets. And stay tuned for tomorrow’s Part 2 in the series, where Disney World Moms Panelists determine the best dining locations for kids of certain ages. There are some very informative and surprising ideas that I think you’ll enjoy!

Parent or not, the wonderful dining options and experiences for kids at Disney World are no secret. But what if you don’t want to spend your entire vacation doing character meals? (Not that there’s anything wrong with those — they offer some of the best food on property!) What I’d like to share are some of the dining secrets we’ve discovered over the years as the best options for something different. They may just become regular favorites for your family!

Best Location For a Nap

Maya Grill – This restaurant became a favorite of ours during a stay at Coronado Springs Resort when we were unable to secure a breakfast reservation anywhere else. We had been to Maya Grill for dinner on its opening night, but hadn’t tried it for breakfast. We were so pleasantly surprised by the food as well as the fact that it was not crowded at all. It was nice to enjoy a peaceful, leisurely breakfast for a change. For that reason, it makes it a great location for a stroller-bound child to enjoy a nap without interruption. The location also makes for some lovely scenery as you walk off your meal.

Columbia Harbor House – Magic Kingdom’s hustle and bustle excitement is sometimes too much for the littlest guests, and all the over-stimulation leads to not wanting to nap at all. Columbia Harbor House is a respite from that stimulation. The dark paneling and dimly lit interior ensure no distractions for tired kids. Even on the hottest of days, it’s always cool and calm inside. Sometimes, the second floor is open for even more secluded dining. Once they wake up, there are some great kids’ favorites here like Mac & Cheese and Chicken Nuggets.

Best Entertainment

Sanaa – Animals are perhaps the most engaging entertainment for little kids. Young kids are just learning different animals’ names and habitats, but even older kids will be fascinated by the on-going show happening just outside the dining room windows at Sanaa, located in Disney’s Kidani Village in Animal Kingdom
Lodge. The best part is the show is completely unpredictable and different each time you visit. Your server is also able to tell you more about the animals as well as the unique cooking options offered at Sanaa, making it a great learning experience for all.

Germany’s Biergarten – One of my fondest childhood memories at Disney World is seeing the German Ocktoberfest show in Epcot’s World Showcase for the first time. More than just the great music and singing, guests are invited onto the dance floor to show off their best polka moves. Wonderful memories and photo opportunities are to be had here watching kids dance with parents and grandparents. It’s also an easy-to-walk-in location if you don’t have reservations.

Best Kids’ Activities

Olivia’s – Disney Food Blog’s recent entry about Olivia’s reminded me of this favorite spot, located at Disney’s Old Key West Resort. Amazing food and scenery aside, Olivia’s offers a special treat for all children – Olivia’s Artist of the Day. Upon arrival, kids are given a coloring sheet and crayons to color however they wish. Then they turn in their masterpieces, and twice a day – morning and evening – cast members choose an Artist of the Day. The chosen artwork is displayed at the front hostess stand, and the winning child gets to ring a bell in celebration. Despite the sibling rivalry when my son was chosen first, both kids were chosen during our stay and it made for quite the memorable experience.

Whispering Canyon Cafe Warnings

Whispering Canyon Cafe – This is perhaps not a real secret to many Disney World fans, but I couldn’t pass up talking about it. Whispering Canyon Cafe offers some of the best entertainment around, and there really isn’t a set show at all! Here, your servers are the entertainment, often yelling back and forth to each other and joking around. For even more fun, ask for ketchup. (If you’re shy, sit back and wait for someone else to ask for it; I’ve never been there when someone hasn’t asked for ketchup, and the fun ensues.) There are also several times when kids can engage in pony races using wooden hobby horses. There is definitely no shortage of entertainment for kids and adults here.

Avocado Margarita at the Epcot Tequila Bar!

By AJ 8 Comments

You remember from my first Food and Wine Festival post that I had the lucky opportunity to sample an Avocado Margarita in Epcot’s La Cava del Tequila, right?

No?

Here’s a reminder — Cast Member, Rafael, kindly posing with the sample shot!:

Thanks, Rafael!

I really enjoyed the sample, and I was looking forward all week to trying a whole margarita. I thought I’d virtually take you with me on my trip to enjoy one!

La Cava del Tequila
But before we order, I wanted to show you around the Cava a little bit. It’s truly an amazing addition to World Showcase. Warm, cozy, and comfortable, I could easily spend a couple of hours here chatting with friends and sampling many of the different Margarita flavors. Of course, the popularity of the place will have to die down before I can do that! Every time I returned to the Cava during my trip, the place was mobbed. Hopefully in the months “post-Festival,” there will be more available seats…or at least enough room to move around in there!

When you head into the Cava, you’re greeted by the bar to your left and a cozy little seating area to your right. There are bar tables in the middle of the room, as well. It seems to be “every man for himself” as far as seating goes here — from what I can tell, nobody’s actually controlling where and when folks sit.

Also on your right hand side (as you know from the Tequila Tasting Seminar blog) there’s a brilliant mural depicting the life cycle of Tequila processing.

A Section of the Cava del Tequila Mural

All in all, a wonderful place to spend an evening in Epcot. I really think you’ll enjoy it!

Avocado Margarita
So, back to the drink! When I finally found a day when the Tequila Bar was slightly less crowded than it had been all week, I perused the drink menu but decided on that Avocado Margarita that I’d sampled previously.

It’s called the Aguacate; here are the details (it’s the second one listed on the menu photo):
El Mayor Blanco Tequila, Midori melon liquor, fresh avocado mixed with fresh lime juice and agave nectar syrup, served frozen with a hibiscus Himalayan salt rim: $12.50

Avocado Margarita Recipe

I watched with anticipation as the bartender actually peeled and added two sections of an avocado to the blender in front of me! Is this thing actually going to taste as good as the sample?!?

Blender with Ingredients...Including Ripe Avocado!

While it was blending, I snapped a photo of some of the salt rimming stations. Apologies for the blurry photo! La Cava del Tequila has loads of salt flavors to add accents to the tequila drinks.

Salt Rimming Stations

Finally, my drink was ready! It was very smooth, which I don’t always expect from blender mixing. The only “chunks” in the drink were of avocado; these were tiny — you can see them in the photo below — and actually added texture to the drink, which was interesting. The margarita was very tart, which wasn’t something I expected in an avocado-based drink but was very welcome. As you know, I’m a big fan of sour drinks. And this margarita was the perfect antidote to the scorching day outside — very refreshing and flavorful. In my opinion, this is a great way to escape the Florida heat or just take a break and slow down for a while.

Aguacate

Again, I have nothing but high marks for La Cava del Tequila. The staff are knowledgeable and accommodating, and the atmosphere is very inviting.

I really look forward to hearing about your trips out to the Cava!

Disney Food Post Weekly Round-Up: October 11, 2009

By AJ 1 Comment

Hi all! The top story in Disney dining this week is that Disney World is trying out a new seating system at four Magic Kingdom counter-service restaurants.

Disney has been restricting seating to groups who have already received their food, hoping to cut down on the amount of people “saving tables” while the rest of their group is still ordering food. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be. In the meantime, Robert Niles at Theme Park Insider has discussed the issue in his blog post: Pecos Bill and the Prisoner’s Dilemma.

But while that debate rages on, there’s still plenty of other great Disney food writing going on. The Epcot International Food and Wine Festival continues, brand new hotels have opened (which means brand new eating establishments!), there’s a new food spot for the Alaska cruises, and more! Here we go!

“You Won’t Believe This!” Snack — Butterfinger Cupcake

By AJ 35 Comments

UPDATE!: See our 2012 re-review of this iconic cupcake here!

Guys, you know how much I love food. And you know by now that I can pack away some serious meals. But I think I’ve finally found a snack in Disney World that I wasn’t able to conquer. In fact, I bought it simply because I wasn’t sure it was even real!

A few months ago, someone posted a photo of a “butterfinger muffin” on the forum at WDWforGrownups.com. The photo looked like the “muffin” was a chocolate cupcake covered in icing, then dipped in chocolate and topped off with butterfinger crumbs. Being a HUGE frosting fan, I couldn’t wait to find out more about this thing. So we headed over to Starring Rolls bakery one early morning last week…

Starring Rolls Cafe

…and, sure enough, I find this:

Cupcake and Butterfinger Muffin

So, guiltily, I buy one. In the name of research, of course. I head outside, fully aware that this thing is simply monstrous, and grab a couple of forks and knives. (There’s no way one little plastic utensil is going to suffice for this thing.) And I cut into the mountain of toppings on the cupcake.

Butterfinger Muffin

First Incision

The frosting is magnificent, as we knew it would be. There’s nothing like a bunch of lard and sugar to start your day right, I always say. From there, I decided to cut the thing in half, just to get a good cross-section for those of you who might be curious, but unwilling to actually dig in yourselves:

Butterfinger Muffin Bisected

And what did I find?!? Chocolate Frosting! Chocolate Frosting in the middle of the cupcake! Oh my heavens! I’m pretty sure I died and went to heaven. Whoever invented this cupcake/muffin took all of my guilty pleasures and wrapped them into one ginormous mountain of happiness.

A Yummy Chocolate Frosting-y Center

Now, my friends, we had lunch reservations in a few hours, so I wasn’t able to finish off this muffin. In fact, I barely made a dent. But it feels good and right to know that the Butterfinger Muffin is there — waiting for me with all of its chocolate-y and frosting-topped goodness — when I need it.

Let me know if you try it — and if you are able to eat the whole thing!

Looking for something?
