food IS a theme park
Last month we shared some new concept art for the 15-story tower being built at Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort — and today we have even MORE news to share!

We’re getting ready to celebrate the 90th Birthday of Mickey Mouse! All over the Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts, specialty treats will be available to mark the very special occasion.
Mickey’s Birthday Cupcake
If you’ve perused the list of all of the snacks on the way, you’ll notice that the treats are scheduled to be available throughout various locations all around Disney World from November 16th through 18th. However, Disney World’s Polynesian Village Resort is getting ready to celebrate Mickey’s birthday a few days early with Mickey’s Birthday Cupcake, which is now available at Capt. Cook’s, the Resort’s quick service location! [Read more…]
Alert, alert: a new flavor of Wine Slush has arrived at Walt Disney World! This is not a drill! Don’t worry: we’re here with the details. Cue the confetti! We also have a review of the beautiful, seasonal Apricot Peach Verrine dessert for you. (So many verrines this year.) It’s all part of the Holidays at Disney Springs.
Apricot Peach Verrine
You probably want to start with the wine, right? Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs introduced the world to the magic of Wine Slushies a little over a year ago, so we were pretty jazzed to find a new seasonal wine slush flavor on the menu: Cranberry Chardonnay.
4R Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck rolled into Disney Springs this past summer,
and since then has given us a pumpkin flavored WonderFall twist on their Churro Balls, and now we’ve got news of a Holiday twist on these popular desserts!

You’ll always find their “standard” Dolce de Leche Churro Balls on their menu (but these are far from standard), and now this holiday season you’ll find a new flavor!
(Anybody else thinking of the Alec Baldwin Schweddy Balls sketch? No, just me? Anyway.)

We’ll be the first to admit we love the new tater tot based menu at Friar’s Nook in Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, but as much as we enjoy the tots, we were missing this location’s Mac and Cheese — and many of you told us you missed it too!
We have good — no, make that GREAT — news for you! Mac and Cheese dishes are back at Friar’s Nook — and with a tater tot twist.
Friar’s Nook
We couldn’t stop ourselves, before we knew it we had these new Mac and Cheese items in our hands!
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.
Our handy (and portable!) ebook guides make sure you get the best deals and can plan a vacation of a lifetime.
