food IS a theme park
Disney has been known to rotate its cocktails every now and then, and we’re not just talking about seasonal sips like the new (refreshing!) Earth Month cocktail at NoMad Lounge!
Mother Earth Cocktail
They’ll also bring back old favorites from time to time, and today we spotted a welcome friend at Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Guys. Disney World just put a spin on an ICONIC Disneyland treat.
Animal Kingdom
We’re gonna take a trip wayyy back to 2010 in Disneyland. That’s when the Matterhorn Macaroon arrived at Blue Ribbon Bakery! It quickly became a west coast staple — people (yup, including us) loved this little guy! In fact, we loved it so much that we figured out how to make it at home. And you can still enjoy the coconut-y, white chocolate goodness at Jolly Holiday Bakery! But Disney World just came out with its OWN version of the Matterhorn Macaroon…and we’ve gotta say, we’re impressed.
Hello to all our DFB Friends!
Tree of Life — it’s so magnificent!
Guess where we’ve been? Disney’s Animal Kingdom! And we’ve been looking for all the new stuff that’s popped up since we were last there, so you can stay updated! So let’s go!
Hello from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Animal Kingdom
We’ve been BUSY trying all the St. Patrick’s Day food around Disney World, but that doesn’t mean we’ve forgotten about the parks’ other eats and treats! Among St. Paddy’s cupcakes, ice cream sammies, and shakes, we still found time for an off-the-menu sip at Animal Kingdom!
We LOVE snacking our way around Disney World. But even though we find plenty of winners when it comes to Disney eats, they don’t ALWAYS hit the mark!
Mickey Waffle Sundae
With over 400 dining experiences around Disney World property, there’s something for just about everyone to enjoy! Whether you’re looking to celebrate a special occasion at a place like California Grill or you’re just swinging by a spot like Friar’s Nook for a snack, there are countless eats to choose from. We’ve had plenty of incredible food in Disney World, but every now and then we find something that flops — HARD. These are the three WORST Disney World food fails we’ve encountered!
The Simba Pretzel made a triumphant return to Disney’s Animal Kingdom in August, after having been unavailable for a few weeks upon the park’s initial reopening. But then…
Simba Pretzel
… at the end of October, we noticed the snack had vanished from its two usual spots in the park: Harambe Fruit Market and Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks. Today, however, brings happy news that the Simba Pretzel has returned (to one of his two usual locations, in any case)! [Read more…]
JAMBO from Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
We’re taking you along on our most recent trek around this beautiful park — from Discovery Island to DinoLand U.S.A. and everywhere along the way — to check out what’s NEW in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
We hope you’ll join us… [Read more…]
No matter how many times you’ve been to Disney World, it seems there’s always something new to enjoy!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Currently, we’ve been sampling all kinds of Halloween treats and finding LOADS of new Minnie ears. Today, we thought it’d be a perfect day to take a trip around Disney’s Animal Kingdom to see what new things we could spot there. Come along with us!
We’re making our way around Disney’s Animal Kingdom today, and having a fun adventure (even if it’s raining)!
Tree of Life
While we made our way to Expedition Everest to say hello to our old pal Disco Yeti, we found a bit of a pleasant surprise in the park. Although Thirsty River Bar and Trek Snacks has been half closed since the parks reopened (Trek Snacks has been open, but Thirsy River Bar has been closed), it had a random re-opening today for guests!
We made a special trek through the jungle of Animal Kingdom today to see if the Pumpkin Pretzel we’d reported to you earlier about had returned. In case you’d forgotten, here’s what it looked like the first time we got it:
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel
Yeeeeeesh! This was one knee-jerkingly rough-looking Disney snack! Quite the departure from the Mickey Celebration Donut or all of the highly photogenic Arendelle Aqua treats that have been released at Disney World as of late!
