food IS a theme park
Oh me, oh my… It’s Christmastime!
Mint Julep Bar
The Mint Julep Bar is the place to be if you’re looking for that famous Disneyland Mint Julep or the fan-favorite Mickey Beignets. This small counter-service location has joined in on the holiday fun with a special mint julep made just for the season — the Cranberry Julep!
For ages, the Mint Julep at Disneyland’s Mint Julep Bar in New Orleans Square has been something of a cult classic.
That said, even as a classic, it’s been through some changes. Just last summer, the classic bright green, uber minty version received a makeover into what it is now: a lemon-lime refresher with a more subtle mint flavor.
Now, you may be thinking: “Okay, fine. What does this have to do with Disney World, which is what I read about in the title?”
Well, let me tell you: Disney World’s Magic Kingdom now has its very own Mint Julep at long last, thanks to the arrival of the Mint Julep Lemonade Slushy on the menu at Casey’s Corner!
Casey’s Corner menu
Casey’s has been one among a myriad of locations in Disney World that have sold the classic Lemonade Slushy for years. But now, Casey’s has stepped it up!
Oh. My. Goodness! I have something that I have been absolutely ITCHING to share! And it’s something YOU can totally enjoy whether or not you are in Disneyland or Disney World. Because this amazing artwork by Donna Yan will help you celebrate many of YOUR favorite iconic Disney foods from your own home!
Donna Yan’s prints are, in her words, “Cute Food Art Inspired by My Travels.” And while those travels primarily take her to Disneyland, Hawaii, and Japan, Disney World frequenters will find plenty to adore here, too.
For instance, these too-cute-for-words Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bars can be appreciated on both coasts!
