While we’ve been joining the ranks of Agent P to defeat Dr. Doofenshmirtz around Epcot’s World Showcase the past few years, it’s looking like it may be time to say goodbye to one adventure and hello to a new one!

Dude. Kid heroes extraordinaire Phineas and Ferb (and, of course, P the P) are everywhere (ahem, Doofenslurper) in Epcot. And now you can find ’em even closer to home!
I was excited about trying the new Perry sugar cookie and the Doofenslurper on my next trip to Epcot.
But if you can’t wait that long, check out your local Subway to find some cool P&F gear — and a healthy kids’ meal, too.
Just in time for Platypus Day on March 2, Subway and Disney have announced a partnership that will bring Phineas, Ferb, and Perry to reusable lunch bags.
The bag comes as part of the sandwich chain’s Fresh Fit for Kids meals, and includes a download code for a Phineas and Ferb episode, app, or song.

If you’re a fan of the show (or your kids are) head to Subway for the cute bags!

Several Epcot kiosks, including Promenade Refreshments where these came from, have some special offerings for Phineas and Ferb fans.
The three special items include an Agent P sugar cookie on a stick, a kids’ “Power Pack,” and the “Doofenslurper.”
The Power Pack, $7.99, includes an Uncrustables sandwich, carrot sticks, a Danimals yogurt, and a juice box, all served in a souvenir Agent P lunch box. This is a relatively healthy child’s lunch plus a great takeaway for one reasonable price.
But the thing I really wanted for me was the Doofenslurper, because how could you not want something called a Doofenslurper?
The Doofenslurper is frozen lemonade (more like a slushie) topped with a now ubiquitous fruity foam.

As for the actual consumable, the lemonade plus foam concoction tasted like [Read more…]
