food IS a theme park
Another snack spot is open again in Disney World!
Warung Outpost in Animal Kingdom
The Warung Outpost in Disney’s Animal Kingdom had their hours listed for today, so you should be able to stop by today to grab a frozen drink!
Because ranking the lands of Magic Kingdom by its snacks wasn’t torturous enough for us, we’ve decided to do the impossible yet AGAIN!
Animal Kingdom
That’s right — we’re going to delve once more into these strange, uncharted waters of ranking all the Disney snacks we love for sheer entertainment purposes ONLY! (We not-so-secretly love most of these snacks, so it’s too hard to choose!) Let’s see how the rankings work out for all the lands in Disney’s Animal Kingdom.
If you know us, then you know that we love a yummy cocktail — especially when it comes from or is inspired by the Disney Parks!
Avocado Margarita
We’re ready to cool off from a long day with a delish homemade Disney cocktail and the perfect Disney movie to pair alongside it. We have compiled the perfect list of DFB cocktail recipes and movies to watch while you sip away!
Well…you COULD just put green food coloring in a beer today… .
Or you could make THIS!!!!!!!!!!! The Triple Yeti Blast at Disney’s Animal Kingdom from Upcountry Beverages in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Triple Yeti Blast from Upcountry Beverages at Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Is it St. Patrick’s-Day-y at all. No. Does it matter? Not at all!
Create three different margarita flavors — Mango, Lime, and Strawberry — and layer them into a tall glass for a beautiful, refreshing treat with a terrific WOW factor!
Note that this recipe requires two different fruit purees. You may be able to find these in a liquor store, but if not, you can always just blend or mash up fresh fruit! 🙂

How often do you find yourself in the shade of the mammoth Tree of Life at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and think: “Gosh, a tasty beverage would sure hit the spot right now.”

If you’re anything like me, that happens pretty often, actually! Ever on my quest to try everything in all the parks, today I’m heading back to Upcountry Beverages in search of refreshment. [Editor’s Note: Since the writing of this post, the name of Upcountry Beverages has been changed to Warung Outpost.]
Haven’t heard of Upcountry Beverages? It’s on that trek between Harambe Village in Africa and Anandapur in Asia. You’ll find Upcountry situated just outside of the Flights of Wonder attraction.

The cute little kiosk has a sort of rustic Asian theme happening, so it’s the perfect decor for blending into this area — the Africa-Asia crossroads.

There’s no real seating right next to the kiosk, but you’ll find [Read more…]

Lots of you will remember when I spotted Upcountry Beverages in Animal Kingdom for the first time — I sampled some yummo frozen drinks, braved the pouring rain, and ended up with the Maharaja Margarita! 🙂 [Editor’s Note: Since the writing of this post, the name of Upcountry Beverages has been changed to Warung Outpost.]
Well, on my recent visit I was interested to note that the daiquiris are gone from the menu, and the whole thing is margaritas now!! So I just had to try all three…
