food IS a theme park
It’s the holiday season in Disney World, folks!
Holiday lights in Animal Kingdom!
Decorations are up around the parks and hotels, festive food is popping up in different places, and the first Very Merriest After Hours event is taking place in Magic Kingdom tonight. We, of course, are trying out all of the holiday eats and treats around Disney World, so come with us as we check out a returning item in Hollywood Studios!
If you’ve been following along with us today, you know that Disney World’s 50th anniversary is officially underway and there’s a WHOLE LOT of food to try as part of the festivities!
It’s the BIG day!
There are actually OVER 150 new treats coming to Disney World to celebrate the big anniversary, including a twist on a classic Mickey ice cream bar, a sundae with a WHOLE Mickey pretzel on top, and Haunted Mansion-themed treats. Today we made our way to try one new snack that features a twist on one of the most iconic Disney snacks ever: the Dole Whip!
While we love the Disney World theme parks, there’s something EXTRA special about stopping by Disney resorts to see what’s new.

We love going to Isle of Java in Animal Kingdom for its delicious pastries — hellooo, Tiger Tail Chocolate Twist.

But today we’re here to tell you about something we haven’t tried before! The Party Parrot Slush has flown into Isle of Java, and it’s ready for a good time!
Picture it: it’s a hot day in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
(OK, that’s not the case right this minute, but LOTS of the time it’s a hot day in Animal Kingdom. ;-D) You need a beverage. Preferably one that is cold, sweet, and good for 5 o’clock somewhere. Even better if it has a groovy name.
We got your back. The Cretaceous Cooler found at the crowd-pleasing Restaurantosaurus may just check all of those boxes for you.
Aside from serving up consistently good Disney Counter Service classics like Chicken Nuggets and Bacon Cheeseburgers, Restaurantosaurus is also funky, fun, and kitschy enough to fit right in with its kitsch-central home, DinoLand U.S.A. (We say this with nothin’ but love.)

The paleontology students who — as the story goes — are responsible for the humorous décor all over the restaurant must’ve also felt the need for a cool drink to kick back with after a long week of study (well, those 21-and-over, that is). [Read more…]
