It’s time for another installment of What’s New at EPCOT but here’s the thing — there is ALWAYS something new at EPCOT, because EPCOT is in the middle of a massive transformation. Construction at EPCOT We’re not even sure when the transformation will be over — we’ve already seen SO much, including TWO new rides (Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind). Meanwhile, work is still being done on the upcoming Moana attraction and so much of EPCOT is still under construction. But let’s take a look at what ELSE is new at EPCOT, shall we?

Connections Cafe We tried the Chocolate Halloween Cupcake for $5.99, made with Dark Chocolate cake, topped with dark chocolate mousse, covered in sprinkles, and decorated with a little chocolate spider and matching spiderweb. Yep, there’s a spider on our cupcake! SPOOKY! We liked it, even if the spider melted in the Florida sun. This cupcake is no longer available, though. We’ll watch for it to possibly return next year! Read our full review! Sunshine Seasons The Monster Mousse Dome Cake for $5.99 is made with silky caramel mousse floating on top of an island of spiced caramel apple bites, all balanced on a flakey pie crust.

This snack, too, was only available through the end of last month. Here’s our full review. Regal Eagle Smokehouse We also tried out the S’mores Brownie with a Mickey Pumpkin decoration for $5.29. This is just like the normal brownie, a graham cracker crust and fudgy chocolate brownie base, topped with chocolate frosting and toasted marshmallow whip.

Smores Brownie This is one of those snacks we always thought was a little TOO sweet, and the pumpkin Mickey didn’t really change that. Check out our review here.

A new month means new ice cream flavors at Salt & Straw, and this chain with locations in Disney Springs and Downtown Disney is pushing our palates with unusual flavors once again. Salt and Straw is bringing five new flavors for November! After experiencing ice cream flavors including honey fried chicken, BUGS, and deviled egg, is it any surprise that for the month of November, Salt & Straw is bringing us a full Thanksgiving Dinner in frozen form? Tyler Malek, the co-founder of Salt & Straw, describes the new flavors as a “5-course Thanksgiving Tasting Menu.” Let’s take a look at the new ice cream flavors! ©Salt & Straw If you believe that the ROLLS are the best part of Thanksgiving dinner, you may be interested in this ice cream flavor. It’s made with a buttery, salty ice cream base. Parker House rolls are toasted and then coated in buttercream frosting and folded into the ice cream. ©Salt & Straw The stuffing from your Thanksgiving table is represented by this ice cream. It’s a sweet, cornbread base with a peach jam infused with honey vinegar and warming spices. “It’s savory, but just sweet enough,” Malek said in a video posted to the company’s Instagram. ©Salt & Straw TURKEY Ice Cream?! Yes. You’re reading that right. This ice cream has a base of salt and pepper flavor. The turkey here is turkey bacon (OK, maybe we’re warming up to the idea…), folded into a brittle with lots of thyme. There’s also cranberry sauce stirred into this concoction. ©Salt & Straw The classic Thanksgiving dessert of pumpkin pie is a coconut-based, vegan pumpkin pie ice cream with crumbled gingersnaps representing the pie crust. ©Salt & Straw Like many of us who indulge in multiple desserts at Thanksgiving dinner, Salt & Straw’s tasting menu includes two dessert offerings. Mom’s Mango Pie is a collaboration with musician Hrishikesh Hirway — an ice cream interpretation of Hirway’s mother’s mango pie recipe. It starts with a base of mawa (a type of evaporated milk) and mango, with a graham cracker crust and mango pie filling swirled in. Salt & Straw says the new flavors will be available at its Disney Springs and Downtown Disney locations now through November 23rd. Salt & Straw Disney dining changes are a lot to keep up with!

It’s been quite the week in Disney World! Magic Kingdom at night The holidays have arrived in a BIG way, we’ve got all kinds of food news, and some things that haven’t been back in YEARS have finally returned. So sit back, relax, and pull up a chair, as DFB proudly presents…your weekly news roundup. The Holidays Are HERE First, we start with massive holiday news. The first holiday decorations (some snowflakes!) have arrived in EPCOT and Disney’s Hollywood Studios has started to celebrate the season with garlands, ornaments, and more. Over at Magic Kingdom, the holidays are truly in full swing as festive decor, including the MASSIVE Christmas tree, has officially arrived! We’re so excited! When it comes to shopping, there are lots of holiday items to pick from. Online you’ll find Christmas Crocs and all kinds of other goodies. And we’ve seen a whole bunch of holiday merchandise arrive in Disney World as well. There are even some new holiday ears to pick up (and they’re pretty epic). Hello Gorgeous If you’re a massive Starbucks fan, then it’s time to celebrate! A Disney holiday Starbucks tumbler has arrived and it’s decked out in Christmas ombre. Plus, you’ll find a new Disney x Starbucks holiday travel tumbler and ornament too. Some of the Starbucks holiday cups are online, but act fast before they sell out! Speaking of Starbucks, the Starbucks holiday drinks are back in Disney World. You can choose from the Iced Sugar Cookie Almondmilk Latte, the Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino, and the Caramel Brulee Latte, as well as some other sweet creations! New Christmas Starbucks cups! Continuing with sweet treats, some holiday treats have arrived in Magic Kingdom, including festive cookies and cupcakes. And if you’re wondering what holiday snacks will be available at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, we have that FULL list for you right here! Santa Cookie! In terms of other updates, within Magic Kingdom, the Jungle Cruise has officially gotten its seasonal overlay and is now the Jingle Cruise! Click here to see what that experience is like. Holiday theming And you can’t forget about Disney’s epic gingerbread creations. At Disney’s Beach Club, the gingerbread carousel is on display and it is INCREDIBLE! Themed to the Disney princesses, made out of gingerbread, and the ability to actually spin?! This carousel has it all (plus, you won’t want to miss the treats nearby). Tiana And finally, at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa, the massive gingerbread house is under construction and we’re keeping a close eye on its progress. Once this beauty is open, there will be special treats to grab and all kinds of details to hunt for. It’s looking good!

Get ready to dance away with Mickey because Fantasmic! has officially returned to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! We got the chance to see the show during a preview event, but some of the show got canceled due to weather issues. That’s a good thing to keep in mind for your trips. Because Fantasmic! is outside, sometimes the show can be impacted by weather concerns so be sure to check and see what the weather will be like during your trip and watch for any updates. Fantasmic! scene Fantasmic! isn’t the same as it used to be though. There is a brand NEW scene with some popular characters and other changes that have been made to the show. Click here for a breakdown of the changes made to Fantasmic! Mirabel And finally, remember that Fantasmic! can get BUSY! We saw some massive crowds on the show’s official reopening night, so you’ll want to be prepared for that during your trip. Evening Fant Crowds You can choose to line up for the show very (VERY) early, or potentially pick up a dining package that’ll help you get reserved seating for the show (along with a nice meal). Click here for full details about the Fantasmic! dining packages COVID-19 Updates In terms of other big updates, there have been some COVID-19-related news items that popped up this week. First, the COVID-19 testing policy is changing in a big way for Disney Cruise Line. All guests (regardless of vaccination status) will NO LONGER be required to show proof of a negative COVID-19 test prior to sailings that start on November 14th, 2022. This only applies, however, to sailings departing from the United States (at least for now). Disney Wish In other COVID-19 news, COVID-19 concerns in China have caused Shanghai Disney Resort to CLOSE (again). ©Disney The resort has closed indefinitely and a reopening date has not been announced. We’ll be on the lookout for updates there. For more updates about travel and COVID-19, click here Disappearing Plastic Bags, McDonald’s News, and MORE And finally, we’ve got a bit of a mixture of remaining news items, so let’s check them out rapid-fire-style!

Food & Wine Classic: A Taste of Swan and Dolphin (2021) The Swan and Dolphin Food & Wine Classic is returning to the Walt Disney World Swan & Dolphin Hotels this year on November 11th and 12th.

We were invited to a special media event to try out this year’s dishes before the event officially opens to the public, so let’s get into what our experience was like! Atmosphere Although the main event will be held on the Causeway, the media preview was indoors. We were greeted by a host who had details about the various seminars and wine tastings that are available as part of the event. Entrance There was also a display of wine to check out! (It is the Food and WINE Classic, after all.) Wine And before we get into the eats, just look at this VIEW! Swan & Dolphin Hotel Okay, NOW we can get to the eats.

The Il Mulino booth had Baked Ricotta Cheese Custard, served with carrots, radishes, tomatoes, and pine nut “gremolata.” Baked Ricotta Cheese Custard The Cabana booth had an interesting dish — it was compressed late-harvest watermelon with spiced labneh, marinated tomatoes, frisee, and marinated feta cheese. Cabana dish Now on to the bluezoo booth! Bluezoo This was Dynamite Shrimp, which came with tempura fried crispy seasoned sushi rice, fried shishito peppers, and a tentsuyu sauce.

There have been a TON of things returning at reopening in Disney World lately, even more are on the way! Kona Cafe We’ve recently seen Monsieur Paul reopen in EPCOT, buffets return to Tusker House in Animal Kingdom, and characters come back to places like Crystal Palace in Magic Kingdom. Another spot that recently reopened is Kona Cafe because the spot underwent some renovations. So, come along with us to check out what’s new and try some breakfast food! Atmosphere Kona Cafe is located at Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort and is a table service restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Kona Cafe is right next to Kona Island The restaurant has a whole new look to it now after the renovations! Entrance We’re going to take a look at some of the before and afters! Here is what the restaurant looked like before: Before And, here’s it after! Kona Cafe now It has a totally new entrance. The inside also looks quite different. Take a look at it before: Kona Cafe And now, after: Inside Even the tables have changed! Here’s before: Kona Cafe And after! After! It has a very different vibe, with new tables, chairs, carpet, and even light fixtures. These lights actually represent the fishermen’s baskets that are used on the real Kona in Hawaii. New lights The booths have changed, too. Here’s before: Closed Table And, after: New look Check out the bar area before: Sushi Bar And, after. We learned that a Kona tattoo artist actually designed the new look for the ceiling, which shows water meeting the land, the teeth of sharks in the water, the land meeting red lava form the volcano, and the hardened lava that is creating more land. No chairs! We also saw some very cool new wall art on a wall filled with new stone work. Awesome How fun are these flowers? LOVE! If you look closely, you might even find some hidden Mickeys! There’s one! These flowers are a great backdrop for the new look over here. A splash of color! Now that we’ve seen the new look, let’s talk about the FOOD! Menu The menus even got a new look over at Kona Cafe! Here’s what the new outside of the breakfast menu looks like. So pretty On the inside, you’ll find familiar favorites like Tonga Toast, as well as other breakfast items we’ve seen on the menu before the closure. But, there are seem new things, like a Spice-Rubbed Salmon Plate, a Ham & Cheese Omelet, and French Toast! Breakfast We’re only eating breakfast here for this review, but we’ll give you a look at the new lunch and dinner menus, too! This is the new outside of the lunch menu. Lunch Menu front Inside, you’ll find things like sushi, burgers, poke bowls, dashi bowls, and more. We also saw that the Crispy Cheddar Burger is no longer on the menu, but the Big Kahuna Burger has taken its spot! Lunch menu The dinner menu has a new look as well! Dinner menu front On the menu are appetizers like pot stickers, chicken wings, and more. And, there are also sushi rolls available! There are a few changes to the entrees with the addition of Sautéed Red Quinoa and Verlasso Salmon. Dinner Now, let’s eat some breakfast! Eats We got three breakfast entrees, because we gotta try as much as we can, right?! Full spread First, we started with the famous Tonga Toast with a side of bacon for $17. This is a banana-stuffed sourdough French toast rolled in cinnamon-sugar, served with a strawberry compote, and with your choice of ham, spiced ham, bacon, or sausage. The sauce comes on the side This portion size is hefty for sure, which is how Tonga Toast usually is. It’s a great one for sharing (unless you’re really hungry!). YUM Tonga Toast is like a super thick piece of regular French toast, but it’s stuffed with those delicious bananas, which is amazing. And, there’s definitely a generous amount of cinnamon-sugar! A look inside The strawberry compote was very tasty as well and really elevated the dish. But, this is SUPER sweet, it’s basically dessert for breakfast, so it’s nice to have a side of protein like the bacon to break up everything with some saltiness. It’s filling! Next up, we got the Ham and Cheese Omelet for $17. This entree is a ham and cheese omelet with home-fried potatoes. Simple, but tasty! The diced up ham in the eggs were delish! However, our eggs were super salty, so watch out for that. The portion was also a great size for a big breakfast! There was a biscuit on the side, too! The potato wedges on the side were tasty too, but we wish they had been a little more crispy. We needed more crunch from those potatoes! Finally, we got the NEW French Toast with sausage for $15. This is French toast with a caramel-banana sauce and your choice of ham, spiced ham, bacon, or sausage. The caramel-banana sauce added a ton of unique flavor to and otherwise standard French toast! Nothing wild here But, other than that, this is a pretty basic dish. The sausages on the side had a good flavor and were a decent size to fill you up if you were just getting this entree for your breakfast. Nosh or Not Book your breakfast at Kona Cafe if: You want a casual, laid-back atmosphere that’s been redone recently to give it a fresh look You’re staying at the Polynesian or another Monorail resort and want a convenient spot to grab a decent breakfast You want a spot where you can get standard breakfast fare as well as some more adventurous dishes. Kona Cafe has eggs and bacon, but they also have things like Loco Moco! Head to another breakfast spot instead if: You want a breakfast spot that has super unique offerings that are going to blow your mind with flavor. This spot is good, but not something we’d go super out of the way for. You want a restaurant with more Disney theming. The theming here is for the Polynesian Resort, not for anything specifically Disney. And, you won’t find any characters here! You want a spot with some more privacy and/or space. This is open so it can be seen from a lot of different spots in the lobby, and there are a lot of tables in here! You might be really close to some other people if it’s busy. Overall Overall, this is a decent breakfast option in Disney World! It’s not something we would suggest you have at the top of your list for your advance dining reservations though, unless you’re staying in a nearby hotel and want something convenient. It does have good portion sizes though, and it has options that should be good for picky and slightly adventurous eaters alike. The new look in here gives the space a fresh feeling compared to how it was before, and everything is basically new, so that’s a plus! The stonework and colors as well as the decor perfectly fit in with the Polynesian Resort. We also want to note that the service here was exceptional! But, like most places in Disney, it’s not the most affordable. In terms of Disney table service restaurants, it’s really not bad, though. But, just know that you can probably find some more unique offerings for a similar price at other places around Disney World.

It’s usually HOT in Orlando, and sometimes you just want a nice, cold snack to help cool you down and boost your blood sugar. Perfume for our…ice cream? We’re gonna dive DEEP into Disney World’s ice cream lineup and show you where you can find the best cold snacks during your vacation. Florida is well known for its intense heat, meaning ice cream, gelato, sorbet, and all other types of frozen treats offer delicious waves of relief. OooOooOo AaAaaAh There are a TON of ice cream stops available at Disney World, so we’re going to give YOU the full scoop on these spots and where to find them! EPCOT L’Artisan des Glaces EPCOT’s France pavilion is one of our required snack stops when we tour World Showcase, and L’Artisan des Glaces is usually the first spot we hit up on a hot day. L’Artisan des Glaces It offers a great selection of unique house-made ice creams and sorbets. Plus some unique ways to enjoy them, in a toasted Brioche bun, or in a martini glass swimming in your choice of liquor. The Croque Glace is a scoop of ice cream with your choice of sauce in a homemade brioche, pressed warm. L’Artisan des Glaces Croque Glaces Or if your gelato cravings lean toward the more sophisticated side, you can also get an Ice Cream Martini. Pina Colada Ice Cream Martini with Rum You can also just get a normal cup of your choice of gelato flavor. There’s no wrong way to enjoy this cold treat! And scope out the menu as this spot often serves up seasonal creations, too. Click here to see how to make your own Mickey Mouse ice cream in EPCOT! Gelateria Toscana Gelateria Toscana is right in front of the Italy Pavilion in EPCOT, so it’s hard to miss. And the truth is, this charming serves up some tasty ice cream (or gelato), but we’d love it a lot more if it wasn’t so expensive! La Gelateria Toscana The little ornate details of the stand itself are both simple and classy. This kiosk blends in with its surroundings so nicely that it already feels like it’s been around forever and a day. But, really, the Affogato Espresso Gelato is simple but has some powerful flavors that just work well together, the bold Espresso, creamy vanilla gelato, and topped with crisp Amaretto cookies. What’s not to like? Espresso Affogato The treats are creative and so tasty, but the portions are way too small for the prices we paid (again, in our opinion). So maybe you skip on the pricey gelato and opt for some delicious pizza instead! Our Best Strategies for Saving On Breakfast at Disney World Disney Springs Haagen-Dazs Kiosk With so many ice cream spots Disney Springs, it’s easy to forget about this Häagen–Dazs kiosk. We enjoy Haagen Dazs, and they have some scrumptious options — like the Dazzler sundaes. Birthday Cake Dazzler Sundae But when we’re in Disney World, we’re really looking for something unique, and this spot just has pretty standard options you could probably find back home. Perhaps you’re more in the mood for a Margarita? Learn about Dockside Margaritas at Disney Springs HERE! Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill Looking for gelato? Disney Springs has two gelato options, this one at Wolfgang Puck and over at Vivoli il Gelato (which we’ll get to)! When you approach Wolfgang Puck Bar and Grill you’ll find their outdoor counter service option. The menu here has an awesome variety of gelato creations that are so different from other gelato combos we’ve tried. Outdoor Gelato Bar One of our favorites is the Salted Caramel Banana Pudding. It’s made with banana pudding, banana chunks, vanilla wafers, and a scoop of salted caramel gelato. The pudding was smooth and rich and really went well with that gelato! YASSSS Menu offerings are seasonal, so be sure to check and see what they have available during your visit! Click here to see more about Wolfgang Puck! Vivoli il Gelato Vivoli il Gelato is our next gelato stop (see, told ya we’d get here)! And thank goodness for the bright orange tables and umbrellas in front, because this spot can be easy to just walk right past as your stroll along by Wine Bar George and Joffrey’s corner coffee shop. Vivoli il Gelato Vivoli offers some classic and some bold choices. On the classic side are the Bombolatos (gelato sandwiched inside a warm Italian donut) which are generally around $10, and are a surefire crowd-pleaser. But we’ve also seen bacon cannoli, and let’s just say that’s one of the snacks that bacon does not enhance. Nutella Tiramisu Bombolato We can always count on Vivoli for some creative flavors that they offer out for the season. One of our favorites was the Peanut Butter Explosion. Those change up, so make sure you stop by to see what flavors they have when you visit. Like most of the gelato spots, some of these treats will end up costing you more than a standard ice cream sundae, so plan accordingly! Click here to see one of our latest reviews of some items at Vivoli il Gelato! Swirls on the Water Swirls on the Water recently replaced another snack spot in Disney Springs, and here you can get classic Dole Whip as well as more unusual flavors, and even Dole Whip flights! Swirls on the Water Swirls on the Water is located just behind Goofy’s Candy Company, and they feature Dole Whip treats like soft-serve swirls, specialty flavors, and floats. The 50th Celebration Cone comes with DOLE Whip Lemon and Cookie Dough soft-serve swirled together in a cone with EAR-idescent sprinkles and a white chocolate Mickey decoration. And best of all? It works! Some weird flavor combos work! You can also get a Dole Whip flight if you can’t choose only one flavor! In the past, we tried the Habanero Lime, Pineapple and Vanilla Swirl, and Cookie Dough and Lemon Swirl (which is the same as the Celebration Cone). Dole Whip Flight at Swirls on the Water This is also the new home for the DOLE Whip Nachos. The DOLE Whip Nachos are loaded with waffle cone chips topped with DOLE Whip, mango boba pearls, fresh pineapple, strawberry sauce, whipped cream, and rainbow sprinkles. Such fun flavors in every bite! Click here for our review of Swirls on the Water! Marketplace Snacks The Bubble Waffle that was previous housed at Aristocrepes has found a home at Disney Spring’s Marketplace Snacks! There are five different Bubble Waffle sundaes available centered around the Fab Five themselves! If you want something tart and fruity, try the Donald Lemon & Blueberry Waffle Sundae, or if you want ALL of the chocolate, then grab the Mickey Cookie Waffle Sundae. Donald Bubble Waffle Each sundae is currently priced at $8.99, so no matter your taste buds, everyone can find a flavor here to enjoy — just be sure to grab some napkins! 9 of the Best Snacks Under $10 in Disney Springs Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop You can’t help but be tempted into Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs just for the scents alone. As soon as you start walking past the World of Disney gift shop, the sweet and warm aromas of Ghirardelli will waft past your nose, enticing you to come on in. Ghiradelli One absolute favorite is the Crissy Field Cookie Bits Sundae: vanilla and cookies-and-cream ice cream, a TON of homemade hot fudge, and big, soft, buttery, half-baked chocolate chip cookies crumbled up and topping the entire thing. Oh, and some whipped cream. Crissy Field Cookie Bits Sundae It’s beyond worth the stop when it’s available! Word of advice — be prepared for a bit of a wait at this ice cream spot. You’re not the only guest that’s going to be enticed by the smell of fresh-made waffle cones… . You can see the NEW take on another Ghirardelli favorite HERE! Salt & Straw The newest, and maybe one of the best ice cream spots we love in Disney Springs is Salt & Straw! Salt & Straw just opened on the West Side of Disney Springs in April 2022, and it changed the way we think about ice cream. Salt & Straw in Disney Springs Salt & Straw is known for SUPER unique ice cream flavors, made with handmade ice cream sourced with local, organic, and sustainable ingredients. We’ve tried flavors like Mathilde’s Hibiscus and Coconut Sherbet, Honey Lavender, Strawberry Honey Balsamic with Black Pepper, and lots more unusual flavors! Devilled Egg Ice cream! Salt & Straw also features special monthly flavors available for limited time periods, and in June, we tried Cinnamon and Honey Fried Chicken and Deviled Egg Custard with Smoked Black Tea — and we enjoyed them! There ARE traditional ice cream flavors available at Salt & Straw, but why not step out of your comfort zone to try some of the more unusual flavors? Check out our most recent Salt & Straw review here! Magic Kingdom Plaza Ice Cream Parlor The Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Magic Kingdom’s Main Street, U.S.A. is the quintessential idea of Disney ice cream. Plaza Ice Cream Parlor If you’ve been following DFB for a while now, you know that an old favorite of ours is the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich WITH peanut butter drizzle. Note that the peanut butter sauce no longer appears on the menu, but some of our team have been able to ask Cast Members there for some, and they’ve been able to get it. So it never hurts to ask! Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich with Peanut Butter at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor Or you can get a traditional ice cream cookie sandwich with toppings like hot fudge or caramel. So. Much. Goodness. Plus, the outdoor seating around the Plaza gives you the most epic view of all — a view of Cinderella Castle. Disney World’s Latest Character Ice Cream Cone Has a BOLD Flavor Combo! Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies serves up your standard soft-serve sundaes, cups, and floats. And the spot itself isn’t particularly memorable. You can’t even eat inside! Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies Because we love Auntie Gravity’s for its seasonal offerings! For a period of time, we even got to grab a 50th Anniversary treat here that was served IN a bathtub. Not sure if what part we loved more, the sundae or the tub — but it’s all GOOD. The sundae is gone again! We find ourselves often peeking in at this location just to see if there’s anything new on the menu, and you should, too! Click here to see photos and reviews of the 50th Anniversary eats and treats in Disney World! Sunshine Tree Terrace If citrus flavors are your game, then you’ll want to head over to Adventureland in Magic Kingdom. Sunshine Tree Terrace is just ONE spot serving up citrusy cold treats! It has a nice variety of soft-serve, DOLE Whip, and float options. Sunshine Tree Terrace is home to none other than the unique-to-Magic-Kingdom Citrus Swirl. In case you’re wondering, there is a difference between “Citrus Swirl” and orange DOLE Whip. Citrus Swirl is actual frozen orange juice, and orange DOLE Whip is… well, orange DOLE Whip. Citrus Swirl This is the only spot to offer that famous Citrus Swirl, and it can sometimes be hit or miss on if you can find here, but check Mobile Order to see if it’s on the menu, and then you can save some time from waiting in line. We were definitely surprised by the Powerade Mountain Berry Blast Float — Find out more about it HERE! Storybook Treats Over in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, Storybook Treats sells a few standard soft serve ice cream treats. But sometimes, this quick service location comes up with an exclusive flavor or float themed around our favorite Disney characters. For the 50th Celebration, we’ve seen some Seven Dwarfs inspired goodies here, and more are on the way! Bashful Cone Right now, you can also grab the Snow White Cone (made with DOLE Whip lemon!) is one we could eat EVERY DAY. The fairest cone of them all? Perfect spot to hit up after you ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train! Play *This or That: Fantasyland Edition* with us HERE! Aloha Isle THIS is the OG DOLE Whip spot in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland! Aloha Isle is colorful, tropical, and an all-around nice little quick service stop for all your DOLE Whip needs. But this spot serves so much more than the classic Pineapple DOLE Whip and DOLE Whip Float. The Tropical Serenade features Pineapple-Orange-Guava Juice (a.k.a. the famous POG juice), Coconut Soft-serve, and an Upside-down Pineapple Cake Pop. Hello Beautiful Tropical POG juice flavors + coconut soft serve = parade in the middle of a hot Florida day. Not gonna lie, hope this becomes a permanent feature on the Aloha Isle menu! Mmmm…Read about the DOLE Whip Swirl of our dreams HERE! Disney Resorts Beaches and Cream Soda Shop Looking to step back in time to a classic soda fountain shop of the 50s? Then we present to you, Beaches and Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort! This is a CLASSIC ice cream stop for Disney guests who are staying on (or off) the Beach Club property. If you have a reservation, you can eat inside, but if you don’t, there’s a walk-up window to pick up mobile orders or place a to-go order. The No Way Jose Sundae has long been one of our favorite sundaes on Disney property. It is made with chocolate and vanilla ice cream, peanut butter(!!), hot fudge, peanut butter and chocolate morsels, whipped cream, and (of course!) a cherry on top. No Way Jose at Beaches and Cream It’s a hefty sundae, for sure, but it’s not NEARLY as big as the famous Kitchen Sink that serves FOUR people for $35! The classic Kitchen Sink has scoops of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, cookies and cream, and mint chocolate chip ice cream; then, it’s smothered in basically every topping you can get at Beaches and Cream. Kitchen Sink Sundae It’s definitely a crowd-pleaser and a WHOLE bunch of fun. Oh! AND you can get it in a Chocolate Lovers or Neapolitan version, if your group prefers! (Yep, you’ll need the whole crew to tackle it!) DIG IN to a Kitchen Sink — click here to learn more! The Fountain If you don’t have reservations at Beaches & Cream, but still want to experience that 50s soda fountain shop vibe, hit up Disney World’s Swan and Dolphin Resorts to dine at The Fountain, . The Fountain The Fountain offers a great variety of shakes and sundaes from your classic vanilla… to the Grasshopper with Minty Chip Ice Cream, Bailey’s, Creme de Cocoa, Whipped Cream, Creme de Menthe, and a grasshopper cookie on top! Grasshopper Shake at The Fountain in the Disney World Dolphin How about sundaes? Yep, they’ve got plenty of those, too! The Caramel Apple Sundae is an absolute star. Caramel Apple Sundae You know how we love Beaches and Cream around here (yep, we haven’t forgotten it on our list!), but The Fountain is a more-than-solid option all its own, and quite a hidden gem! Learn about the other Swan and Dolphin Restaurants HERE! BoardWalk Ice Cream If you want to do an ice cream crawl around the EPCOT area resorts, then this one will be on your list. BoardWalk Ice Cream is located at — can you guess? — Disney World’s BoardWalk Inn. BoardWalk Ice Cream We’ve enjoyed our experiences at BoardWalk Ice Cream well enough, but again, it’s mostly standard ice cream options. The Kids’ Mickey Mouse Sundae, priced at $4.99, comes with a scoop of your choice of ice cream, chocolate cookies (Oreos), and a cherry. (AND It looks like Mickey, so it does earn a few extra points for that!) Anyone Want Some Ice Cream? Our favorite offering at this location is easily the Thundering Surf Peanut Butter and Chocolate Sundae, which has chocolate and vanilla ice cream, peanut butter and chocolate chips, whipped cream, and a cherry for $7.99. Time for Some Ice Cream! (But that might just be because we’re HUGE peanut butter fans around here… .) Overall this spot is good, but nothing that’ll knock your socks off. Click here to read our FULL review of BoardWalk Ice Cream! Pineapple Lanai Pineapple Lanai is a quick service location right outside the Great Ceremonial House (AKA: the lobby) of Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort. We love you, Pineapple Lanai! In addition to serving up the classic pineapple DOLE Whip, Pineapple Lanai also gets creative and offers some seasonal treats. One of our favorites is the fun Stitch version served one-day only, on “Stitch Day,” June 26th (for Experiment 626)! Stitch Cone There’s just something about eating a DOLE Whip at the Polynesian that makes it all the more enjoyable. He’s so cute! And we especially love that there’s a constant stream of limited edition Dole Whip flavors & creations that pop up here! Who knows what they might come up with next? Disney RECIPE: Make Pineapple DOLE Whip At Home! Hollywood Studios Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction If you’re still in Hollywood Studios yearning for something cool, then look no further than Dinosaur Gertie’s Ice Cream of Extinction on Echo Lake. Good to see ya, Gertie! You can’t miss it! The giant dinosaur near the front of the park? Yep, that’s our ole pal, Gertie. She’s been serving up classic soft serve treats and Mickey Ice Cream Bars for a while. And we love her for it. But we love her MORE for the unique history she brings to Disney’s Hollywood Studios along with those ice cream treats! Vanilla and Chocolate Swirl Take it from us, ice cream tastes better when it is served from a giant dinosaur! This place can be closed sometimes, so just be sure to check and see if it’s available during your trip. Click Here to Read All About the Story Behind Dinosaur Gertie’s! Hollywood Scoops Your family forced you on the Tower of Terror — and you survived! So, what better way to reward yourself than with a hand-scooped ice cream cone from Hollywood Scoops. Sounds pretty perfect, right? Hollywood Scoops BUT! You can also order sundaes OR a not-so-little seasonal shake from this spot. The shakes vary in terms of flavors but are usually topped with something extravagant like a mini-bundt cake or donut (or both!) for $9.49. Candy Corn Milkshake When fellow guests see you walking around with this decadent ice cream concoction, you may find that you’ll have your own paparazzi as inquiring minds ask where you got this! What a way to wrap up a Hollywood Studios day, right? Click here to see our FULL review of the explosion shake! Animal Kingdom Dino-Bite Snacks This little nook in DinoLand U.S.A. in Animal Kingdom has wormed its way into our hearts. Because we really adore Dino-Bite Snacks! Come get your ice cream! We love its quirky retro facade and its small selection of sundaes, floats, and ice cream scoops. But what we REALLY love are those ice cream cookie sandwiches. Freshly baked cookies and creamy vanilla ice cream… . Can’t go wrong there! Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches But Dino-Bites really stands out thanks to the Seasonal Ice Cream Sandwiches that go well beyond the norm. And it might be called Dino-Bites, but these beauties are small meals! Make sure you don’t order one right before your reservation at Tiffins or Yak and Yeti, or you might find yourself too full for your dinner! Click HERE to learn ALL of the Dinoland U.S.A. secrets! Anandapur Ice Cream Truck If you evaded the infamous Yeti that lingers on the Expedition Everest attraction, then it might be time for a soft-serve ice cream from Anandapur Ice Cream Truck in Animal Kingdom’s Asia. Did you ever think that you’d be ordering ice cream out of a work of art like this snack bus? Gorgeous! The usual vanilla and chocolate soft-serve flavors at Anandapur are interspersed with especially fun seasonal treats like that Yeti Sundae with chocolate soft-serve topped with vanilla soft-serve, blue cake crumbs, sugar, sweet snowflakes, and a chocolate Yeti Image. Yeti Sundae While the Anandapur Ice Cream Truck’s traditional menu can be very standard, it’s those specials you’ll want to keep a special eye out for! Click here to see our rankings of the lands in Animal Kingdom by their snacks! Tamu Tamu Refreshments In Animal Kingdom’s Africa, you’ll find a little snack shop that has a tucked-away courtyard where you can enjoy your treat of choice. Tamu Tamu Refreshments at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Tamu Tamu Refreshments has specialty DOLE Whip floats (that can be spiked with coconut rum)! Our must-have at this location is the Simba Sunset made with pineapple DOLE Whip and topped with watermelon, strawberry, and coconut-flavored syrup. So. Much. Dole Whip. When we’ve ordered a Simba Sunset at Tamu Tamu in the past, we’ve received it in the same-sized cup typically used for a float — meaning you get more DOLE Whip at a price that’d normally get you a smaller DOLE Whip serving at other locations around Disney World! Ready to work out AND watch The Lion King at the same time? Then click HERE! Water Parks Happy Landings/ I.C. Expeditions/Snack Shack We’re grouping the ice cream stops from Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach together since Happy Landings and I.C. Expeditions both sell very similar options, including that MASSIVE Sand Pail Sundae. Happy Landings This signature sundae has chocolate and vanilla soft-serve ice cream, waffle pieces, sprinkles, cookie pieces, hot fudge, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry on top — all served in a GIANT bucket with a shovel! I.C. Expeditions Ice cream AND a beach toy!? Sounds like a win to us! Sure, the shareable concoction gets a little soupy toward the end, but you gotta give it points for the massive quantity and added souvenir. Aside from the Sand Pail Sundae, both locations serve tasty hot fudge brownie sundaes, ice cream in waffle cones, and some other limited items. Yup, It Definitely Has That “Wow” Factor And we have to give a VERY special shout out to Snack Shack at Typhoon Lagoon. When Typhoon Lagoon is open, be on the look out for the the Hei Hei Cone or… We love Hei Hei and we love this cone! …try the beautiful Motunui Island Twist… Montunui Island Twist If you’re at Typhoon Lagoon and looking for a fun DOLE Whip treat, THIS is the place to go. Click Here to Learn More About Disney’s Typhoon Lagoon Water Park! Are you craving ice cream yet?
