Last week, we introduced you to the Class of 1971 — the cast members who are celebrating 50 years of service alongside the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort. Today we’d like to introduce you to one of those inspiring cast members: Forrest. Forrest Bahruth has spent his entire career in Disney Live Entertainment.

It’s official! Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration has kicked off! Animal Kingdom Lodge Not only have we been in all four theme parks today, but we’ve visited the resorts to see how they are getting in on the celebrations! A good amount of Disney World’s long list of 50th anniversary treats are at the resorts, so let’s check out one of the sweet treats at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge! For this new treat, you’ll want to head over to The Mara — a quick service restaurant in the main area of the resort. Here you’ll find a Chocolate Mousse with a cardamom financier! It looks gorgeous, but let’s talk about the taste. Chocolate Mousse with Cardamom Financier We loved the light and airy mousse on the top — it was a great texture. It’s really rich in chocolate flavor, so if you’re a chocolate fanatic, this is definitely for you! However, if you don’t like chocolate (like…a LOT), then you may want to pass on this one because it may be overwhelming. There are also quite a few sprinkles. How fancy! You can find it for $5.49 at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, so make sure to check it out on your next visit. We will be all over Disney World today — stay tuned for the latest updates on food, crowds, and more! Click here for ALL of our 50th anniversary snack reviews!

But what’s more iconic than Disney World balloons? YES! Even the famous Disney balloons have become part of the big celebration. We saw the brand NEW 50th Anniversary Balloons TODAY while we were strolling down Main Street, U.S.A. New 50th Balloons! The new balloons look just like the classic Mickey ones, with a Mickey-shaped balloon inside a round one! The Mickey head is dark blue, and it has a 50th logo on the Cinderella Castle silhouette in metallic gold print on the front. So pretty!! The balloon surrounding Mickey is EARidescent, with transparent swirls of pastel colors all over. That’s some serious Disney magic if you ask us. WOW There are still lots of other Disney balloons available, including more classic Mickey ones in lots of different colors and some sparkly ones with Mickey and Minnie Mouse pictures on them. What a lovely bunch of balloons So Happy Birthday, Disney World! And here’s to many more to come! Check Out The New Scenes the Electrical Water Pageant Is Getting for the 50th!

Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations have officially begun! 50th Anniversary Banners There are lots of new things to enjoy as part of The World’s Most Magical Celebration, including new fireworks shows, new merchandise, new statues, a new cavalcade, and much more! But, you can’t forget about those new snacks! Over 100 new food and drink items will be coming to Disney World as part of the 50th Anniversary (stretchy pants WILL be necessary). Today, we made our way over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios to try one of the shimmery new treats! Looking to glimmer and shimmer just like Disney’s EARidescent decor or like those old Hollywood celebrities? Then you’ll want to head over to Disney’s Hollywood Studios for the brand NEW Glimmer and Shimmer Pineapple Mousse! You’ll find this item over at Trolley Car Cafe. Glimmer and Shimmer Pineapple Mousse The Glimmer and Shimmer Pineapple Mousse is made of golden pineapple mousse on a toasted coconut crisp with caramel cream and matcha sponge cake. Does it remind anyone else of Spongebob Squarepants? Isn’t it pretty? It might be September, but we’re glimmering and shimmering in what feels like the summer sun with this new treat! This treat had us feeling like we were out on a tropical holiday with its combination of fruity pineapple and coconut. The mousse itself was also so incredibly smooth, we were shockingly impressed! It’s even shaped like a little pineapple. Disney has made a LOT of mousses in the past, but this one honestly makes it near the top of our list of favorites. If you want to grab this snack, you can get it right now at Trolley Car Cafe for $5.49. Here’s what it looks like on the inside. We’re making our way through all kinds of 50th Anniversary treats and sweets, so be sure to check back with us for more photos and reviews!

What a food-filled day this has been at Magic Kingdom! We’ve been trying brand-new food and drink items in celebration of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary, including treats from Aloha Isle, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn & Cafe, and Columbia Harbour House! Westward Ho Our next stop is Westward Ho Refreshments in Frontierland where we ordered a rather unassuming snack (especially compared to some of those extravagant cupcakes we’ve tried today). We ordered Wendell’s Bear Claw, which is a Traditional Bear Claw dipped in Chocolate Sauce and sprinkled with Hazelnuts! If you’re unfamiliar, a Bear Claw is a yeast-raised pastry like a type of Danish in a shape that resembles a bear claw. Wendell’s Bear Claw It also comes served in the new 50th Anniversary paper! We seriously cannot get over how cute the paper is! We LOVED this simple but amazingly executed treat. We actually ate this pretty darn fast we loved it so much. The texture was nice and flakey and we would absolutely order this again. Wendell’s Bear Claw It was also filled with chocolate, making this treat even more delicious! It pairs wonderfully with a cup of coffee first thing in the morning! Wendell’s Bear Claw At $5.99, this is a great example of why sometimes less is more in Disney World! Be sure to follow along a we cover more of the newest treats that have arrived for the 50th Anniversary Celebration in the coming days and weeks!

Disney World sure does know how to throw a birthday party! Figment! And, while we typically settle for a small dessert table at our birthday parties, Disney World has outdone themselves and brought OVER 150 new eats and drinks to the parks and resorts for the 50th Anniversary! So far we’ve tried a funnel cake hot dog, a bathtub of ice cream (yes, really), and more, but, it wouldn’t be a real party without some cake, right? Well, that’s why we’re headed over to EPCOT to have our cake and eat it too! Gelateria Toscana is a new gelato kiosk tucked away between the Italy Pavilion and The American Adventure. And, it’s here that you’ll find the NEW 7-Layer Cake for $10! Gelateria Toscana Disney describes this cake as a blue-and-white 7-layer cake topped with chocolate ganache and gold dust. Um. Disney? What is happening here. We don’t count 7 layers, and would you describe this cake as “blue and white”? Are we counting wrong or…? The cake is made up of a dark blue layer, a blueish-greenish layer, and a yellow cake layer, topped with dark chocolate ganache and gold sprinkles. The cake was moist and we tasted flavors of almond, raspberry and dark chocolate. We noted a strong almond liqueur flavor, and the raspberry filling had real seeds in it. How many layers do you count? We didn’t really like this particular flavor combination. It was very rich and heavy on the dark chocolate and almond flavors, and it was a bit too much for a hot Florida day. If you love those kinds of flavors, you might really enjoy this treat! If you hate rich desserts, steer clear. “7 Layer” Cake You can find the “7-Layer” Cake at Gelateria Toscana in EPCOT. Keep in mind that it can also be found at the Via Napoli Donkey Cart and Via Napoli Ristorante e Pizzeria if you’ll be dining there during your trip. Now, we’ve got MANY more treats to try today, so be sure that you’re following along with DFB for all of the latest must-try snacks!

It’s Disney World’s 50th anniversary and Disney is celebrating with tons of FOOD! Cinderella Castle There are over 150 treats coming to Disney World for the 50th anniversary including a sundae with an ENTIRE Mickey pretzel on top and treats featuring edible gold. Today, we’ve been giving you live updates and reviews of each 50th anniversary treat as we try them, but now it’s time for a SPOOKY treat! If you’re a fan of bread and the Haunted Mansion, then you’ll want to head to Columbia Harbour House in Magic Kingdom ASAP. We stopped by today to try two new Haunted Mansion-themed treats (but let’s be honest, we’re here for the bread bowls!!!). We’re so happy there’s officially a bread bowl at Columbia Harbour House and we hope it’s a trend that sticks around. Columbia Harbour House The bread bowl creation is called Spoon For One More (a play on the iconic quote from Haunted Mansion), and it is a black sourdough bread bowl with New England clam chowder. Sounds pretty simple, looks pretty epic — how does it taste? Spoon for One More The New England clam chowder was really good, and the bread bowl only made it yummier. The black in the sourdough bread is just food coloring and it didn’t change the flavor of the delicious sourdough. Did we mention the bread bowl was delicious? Because it was. SO good If you enjoy New England clam chowder, you’d love this. The bread bowl makes it feel like a heftier meal, and it would be perfect for a chilly day in Disney World. Ahhhh That said, if you’re not a New England clam chowder fan, you probably want to skip this dish. You can find the Spoon for One More at Columbia Harbour House for $7.49. Check out ALL of our 50th anniversary treat reviews! Also at Columbia Harbour House, we grabbed the new Happy Haunts Milkshake! This sounds like a must-have for any diehard Haunted Mansion fan, and it is a blackberry milkshake topped with a purple chocolate-glazed doughnut covered in black sprinkles for $7.99. It comes with a Haunted Mansion straw! Happy Haunts Milkshake We’ve tried plenty of milkshakes at Disney World, but blackberry is a flavor that we don’t see very often! Still, this milkshake was more like a blackberry smoothie in terms of taste and texture. We love the Haunted Mansion straw, but it was a bit disappointing that had less of an ice cream vibe than we expected. The straw! The chocolate donut was the star of the show because it was SO good. It had a rich chocolate taste and it wasn’t soggy from being on top of the milkshake. We just wish this milkshake had a stronger ice cream taste. So good If you like chocolate donuts and blackberry smoothies then you’re really gonna love this! We think it could be a big hit with kids who love smoothies too. After a ride on the Haunted Mansion to celebrate Disney World’s 50th, head to Columbia Harbour House to try some haunted treats! We’ll continue to bring you live updates all day and stay tuned for more food reviews! Decorate Your ENTIRE House with Disney Halloween Merchandise for Under $100!

We are having a BLAST exploring Disney World’s 50th Anniversary today! 50th Banners Disney World is abuzz today as the 18-month anniversary celebrations kick off in all four parks. We’ve seen new entertainment, crowds, and (you know it) new EATS. We’ve also found that each of the parks has its own little change that helps to bring the birthday magic — a new park map! First thing this morning, we snagged the brand-new 50th Anniversary Magic Kingdom Map. Honestly, this might be the classiest park map we’ve ever seen. New Maps! This commemorative guidemap features a beautiful royal blue cover with the 50th logo in shiny gold on the front. Inside, you’ll find all the usual tips and information about Magic Kingdom, plus a two-page fold all about the World’s Most Magical Celebration. 50th Insert Now, this map is dated October 1st, 2021, and is an exclusive offering today only! In fact, most (if not all) of the maps were gone by late afternoon! Want to see more of this commemorative map? Click here! But don’t worry! Magic Kingdom is getting a new regular map for the 50th too! This one is available today and will continue to be available going forward. It features Cinderella Castle in its Beacon of Magic form. Magic Kingdom Map It might not be quite as classy as the 50th map, but it’s still positively gorgeous and will make for a great keepsake! Plus, the other four parks have similar designs so you can look to snag them all. Magic Kingdom Map EPCOT’s map features the new Beacon of Magic lighting on Spaceship Earth. The shimmery blue of these maps really puts us in the festive, 50th mindset. EPCOT Map Like the commemorative map, the standard maps have notes about the 50th Anniversary as well! EPCOT Map No surprise here, but Disney’s Animal Kingdom’s map features the Tree of Life with its Beacon of Magic lighting. We can’t WAIT to see the tree all lit up later today. The art looks beautiful! Animal Kingdom Map Aaaaand last but certainly not least, the Disney’s Hollywood Studios map has Tower of Terror looking positively stunning! The gold on this one really stands out! Hollywood Studios Map And there you have it! Those are the brand-new maps in Disney World today. What beautiful ways to get around the parks and then remember your trip afterward. Stay tuned to DFB as we continue to celebrate Disney World’s 50th! We’re LIVE from the 50th!

It’s finally the BIG day! Wilderness Lodge Today is Disney World’s 50th anniversary! We’ve been taking you LIVE with us around the theme parks and resorts to show you the latest in food, decor, merchandise, entertainment, and more. Right now, we’re checking out the celebrations happening at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge and they’ve got a brand new treat to celebrate the anniversary! The Roaring Fork is a quick service location at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, but now it is also home to the new Petit Stump Cake! While we’re used to seeing petit cakes at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs, it looks like Wilderness Lodge has made its own spin on these mini cakes. We got it! This petit stump cake is made with Chocolate Cake, Birthday Cake Buttercream Filling, and is surrounded by Chocolate “Bark” Fondant. It’s also topped with a 50th Anniversary Chocolate Coin! The cake matches the resort’s theme very well, so let’s dig in and see how it tastes! It’s time to dig in! This cake was moist and when you get the right ratio of cake and filling, it tastes similar to an Oreo! The filling and frosting were VERY sweet and there was a little bit too much frosting on top. Regardless, the filling had a nice birthday cake flavor and went well with the cake. The Stump Cake! The frosting, on the other hand, was pretty much flavorless outside of being super sweet. The fondant was as good as fondant could be (which isn’t too good, but at least it’s edible!). It wasn’t particularly mind-blowing, but it wasn’t a terrible cake either! Inside the cake! If you’re a frosting lover, this treat is for you! However, if you like lots of cake in your cake…maybe steer clear. You can grab this mini cake for $5.99. We’ll continue to try 50th Anniversary treats throughout the day, so stay tuned for more food reviews! Check out ALL of the 50th anniversary treat reviews from DFB here!

We’ve been keeping track of all the Halloween treats available around Disney World. Cinderella Pumpkins So far we’ve seen some chocolate Haunted Mansion eclairs, an adorable Halloween lunch box tart, just about all the pumpkin spice we can handle, and much, much more. Now we’re checking out an old favorite that’s returned to Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so…be prepared. (Sorry. We had to.) Last year, the Scar Cupcake was new in Disney’s Animal Kingdom, appearing at Flame Tree Barbecue and Restaurantosaurus. This year, you’ll find the villainous treat at Flame Tree Barbecue and Creature Comforts. Flame Tree Barbecue We stopped by Flame Tree Barbecue to see if the treat has changed at all since last year. The Scar Cupcake is made with a Red Velvet Cake that has a Toasted Marshmallow filling. It’s topped with Chocolate Marshmallow frosting, Chocolate Pebbles, and White Chocolate flames with an edible icing picture of Scar. Scar! Last year, we thought the cake was a little bit dry, but overall it was a tasty, albeit very sweet, treat. This year, we found him quite refreshing, maybe because of all the blue 50th anniversary cupcakes we’ve been eating lately! Be prepared! There are LOTS of cupcakes all over Disney World, but we thought this one was pretty tasty, even if you’re NOT a red velvet cake fan. The marshmallow filling is the highlight of this dessert, although there was almost too much of it. On the other hand, we would’ve loved more frosting! Inside the Scar cupcake You can find the Scar Cupcake at Flame Tree Barbecue and Creature Comforts for $5.99 now! It’ll be available from October 1st through November 4th this year.

New snacks, merchandise, and fireworks — Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebration has all that and MORE! We love you, Mickey! We’ve been making our way through the parks and resorts today to check out some of the brand new offerings. And while there are lots of new snacks that are quite unique, sometimes there’s nothing wrong with getting a classic snack that has a bit of a 50th Anniversary twist. That’s just what we found over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort! At the bakery case inside of Bay View Gifts at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we noticed that some classic Disney treats have gotten a bit of an EARidescent makeover! The Mickey Crispy Treat there was looking particularly special with ALL of those EARidescent sprinkles on it. Rice Crispy Treat! We grabbed one (of course) and took it with us on our adventures in Magic Kingdom. While we got this creation at Bay View Gifts in Disney’s Contemporary Resort, we expect it may be available at other bakery cases around Disney World, so you may want to check at those bakery cases as well. That’s a LOT of Sprinkles! The crispy treat itself was delicious!! It is covered in white chocolate and lots (and we mean LOTS) of EARidescent sprinkles. And let us just say, those EARidescent sprinkles are so pretty. We’ll take a bucket of them to just sprinkle on everything, please and thank you. The Perfect Shot! The crispy we got was wonderfully fresh, very tasty, and a great sweet treat — perfect as mid-day pick-me-up or a snack at any time (you could even eat it for breakfast, no one is judging!). Regular Mickey Crispy Treats are usually a great snack to grab photos with, but this one is particularly photogenic. Forget the fancy treats, sometimes there’s nothing wrong with a faithful classic that’s gotten a mini makeover! If you’re not a fan of white chocolate, sprinkles, or sweet treats, then this might be a skip for you. But, if you like crispy treats and white chocolate, this could be a tasty snack to enjoy during your time in the parks. We Love It! If you want to grab something with EARidescent sprinkles from the bakery case that isn’t a crispy treat, we saw that there were some candy apples also covered in white chocolate and more of those colorful decorations. What an Adorable Apple!! The crispy treat is priced at $5.49, while the apple is priced at $10.99. At Bay View Gifts, we also spotted a sugar cookie with EARidescent sprinkles… Cookie …and a Marshmallow Wand covered in the same sprinkles. More Treats There was also a cupcake available with a few of the sprinkles on it too. Cupcake We’ll keep an eye out for more 50th Anniversary news. Be sure to check back with us for more updates!

We’re at Disney World checking out a bunch of the food for the 50th anniversary! Flame Tree BBQ! While there are SO many things to look forward to today like new shows, entertainment, fireworks, decor, and more, we’re excited about the food (shocking, we know)! There are over 150 new treats to celebrate 50 years of Disney World and 3 of them are located at one of our favorite quick service spots! We’re talking about Flame Tree Barbecue over at Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Not only does this spot offer some awesome barbecue, but there is a new drink AND meal here! We tried both, so let’s talk about them! We’re starting with the non-alcoholic drink called the EARidescent Firefly for $8.49.The drink is made with pineapple juice, Powerade Mountain Berry Blast, a splash of Sprite, and garnished with pineapple “ears.” AND it comes with a glow cube. Although this drink was super sweet, it also had a nice tartness to it. It has Ears! It’s almost too sweet, though, but if you love sweet drinks, you’ll probably dig this one. But we think maybe this should’ve had an alcoholic version — a little alcohol could have tamed down all that sweetness a bit. But we still love the Pineapple EARS! (Although this was a dried pineapple and not at all what we were expecting!) EARS! Next up is the Smoked Meatloaf Platter! The platter is supposed to include barbecue-glazed house-smoked meatloaf, garlic bread, fries, baked beans, and coleslaw for $13.99. Or at least that’s what it’s SUPPOSED to include. What we got for sides was fries, macaroni and cheese, and chili. Not sure what happened there, but we’re not complaining!! A meatloaf that even non-meatloaf people will love. So here’s the thing — our reporter isn’t a huge meatloaf fan, but still found this meatloaf very enjoyable. And the sides were also all delicious. I mean you can’t really go wrong with fries and mac and cheese, right?! So if you ARE a meatloaf fan, put this platter on your “must try” list! Meatloaf Well, if you weren’t planning to stop by Flame Tree Barbecue before, you definitely should now! You can have a FULL meal with special 50th anniversary food at this location, which we can’t say for a lot of Disney World restaurants! We’ll continue giving you our honest reviews of the specialty eats around Disney World, so stay tuned for more! Want More Disney World 50th Anniversary Food Reviews? Click here!

As Disney World rolls out 150+ food and drink items over the next 18 months, from popcorn buckets and sippers to snacks and treats, we’re eating our way through the 50th anniversary. Today we tried a new space-themed food and it wasn’t at Space 220, so let’s dig in! In Magic Kingdom, Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe is a quick-service spot with a menu that features classic counter service food like burgers, hot dogs, and chicken nuggets, and now there’s a new burger to try. So far we’ve seen so many delicious foods at Magic Kingdom today, and one dish we tried was the new 50th anniversary Mission to Mars Burger at Cosmic Ray’s! Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe After a LONG 100 minute wait for our mobile order, we finally got to try the Mission to Mars burger! This treat features a Burger topped with Bacon and Macaroni & Cheese served on a Bun dusted with Crushed Cheese-flavored Puffs and served with French Fries available for $12.99. Time to Dig in! We thought this burger was a little bit dry (most Cosmic Ray’s burgers are a bit on the dry side!) but the mac & cheese was creamy and gooey! The bacon had a nice crunch and the cheesy dust on top was a nice (but messy!) touch to the burger. This is definitely an Instagram-worthy treat, but it’s not necessarily the best burger you’ll find at the 50th Anniversary! We also got the Burger to the Moon, which is an Impossible Burger with Guacamole, Tomato and Cabbage Slaw, served with French Fries for $11.49! Burger to the Moon! We thought this burger was a bit of a dusty mess. Yes…DUSTY. The flour on top of the bun was VERY prominent and the burger itself didn’t have much flavor. It didn’t seem like this one had much salt or seasoning in general. The only flavor we got was the Impossible patty followed by the taste of flour. We definitely don’t recommend this one (we mean, unless you want to eat a dusty burger). VERY Dusty! So if you want to try a space burger without visiting Space 220, this is the place to be!

Hello from Disney World, where we’re celebrating the start of the resort’s 18-month-long 50th Anniversary Celebration ! Happy 50th birthday, Disney World! And we’re doing EVERYTHING we can today: eating all the snacks, checking out all the new merchandise, watching the new character cavalcade, viewing the TWO new nighttime shows, and more! And we’re not alone, because we’ve got a lot of fellow Disney World fans celebrating with us! In case you missed it, it’s a busy day at Disney World, especially at Magic Kingdom. And, well, it’s so busy today that we saw the park reach capacity for the first time IN A LONG TIME. Our team has actually not experienced Magic Kingdom hitting capacity since before the closures due to the pandemic. 50th Anniversary Crowds When we called the Walt Disney World Park Hopping capacity hotline phone number, we heard a recorded message saying, “We’re experiencing a very busy day at WDW Resort and the Park Hopper option is no longer available for Magic Kingdom Park.” LOTS of people here! It went on to say, “We invite guests who have a ticket or annual pass with park hopper benefits to visit Hollywood Studios, EPCOT, or Animal Kingdom, which are currently available for park hopper access.” So, you CAN still park hop to the other 3 Disney World parks! The message also mentioned that Disney’s Blizzard Beach Water Park is available. Wow! It’s not like we didn’t expect this — it’s a big day at Magic Kingdom. You only turn 50 once, right? Park hopping could open back up for Magic Kingdom later today if the crowds thin out a little. So, we’ll keep you updated! As always, we’ll continue to cover all the 50th anniversary celebration goings-on and keep you updated, so stay tuned!

Disney’s PhotoPass is a great way to get awesome pictures of your vacation. Say cheese!! There are PhotoPass photographers all around the parks, and you’ll find photo ops (and maybe even some extra magical photo spots) during special occasions. Since today is the first day of Disney World’s 50th Anniversary celebrations, it definitely qualifies as a special occasion. But Disney is going even further than some fun backdrops today! It’s free to have PhotoPass photographers take your picture, and you can use your MagicBand or smartphone to link them to your My Disney Experience app. But you usually have to pay to download any of the pictures from the app. PhotoPass Photographer NOT TODAY. As a special 50th Anniversary gift, Disney World is giving all the guests free PhotoPass downloads of all their pictures throughout the day! We got this notification on the Disney app while we were in the parks. ©Disney That’s not all, though. There’s a new 50th Anniversary-themed wallpaper that’s also free to download! It should load automatically to your PhotoPass gallery on the My Disney Experience app if you’re in the parks today. ©Disney Isn’t that beautiful?? The wallpaper has all the park icons lit up as Beacons of Magic. So if you’re in Disney World today, make sure to grab some great 50th photos, because you can download them all for free. Thanks, Disney! Photos in front of the Castle But you’ll want to get in line to get your PhotoPass picture taken soon because we’ve seen some LONG lines in Disney World today — especially in the Magic Kingdom!

Hello from the BoardWalk at Disney World! BoardWalk We’ve been running around Disney World today to give you the latest updates on crowds, attractions, entertainment, decor, and more, but we’re making a quick stop at the BoardWalk now. Not only are the views gorgeous, but there’s a new 50th anniversary dessert here, so let’s go check it out! We’re headed to one of our favorite bakeries on property — the BoardWalk Bakery. There are a good amount of 50th anniversary cupcakes on the long list of 50th anniversary treats, but let’s see how this location’s cupcake stacks up! New BoardWalk Bakery Cupcake The 50th Celebration Cupcake is made with vanilla cake, marshmallow cream, birthday cake mousse, and gold crispy pearls around the border. There’s also a milk chocolate “50th” icon medallion on top. WOW that sounds sweet. Looks yummy! It’s such a cute idea to use birthday cake-flavored mousse for Disney World’s 50th birthday today. This adorable cupcake will cost you $5.99 — let’s dive in! 50th Celebration Cupcake We called it on this cupcake — it was VERY sweet. The vanilla cake was really good and moist, but it was sweet even by itself. Add that to the marshmallow cream and birthday cake-flavored icing, and we really couldn’t eat more than a couple of bites. VERY sweet The marshmallow tasted pretty fake to us as well, and the birthday cake icing just tasted like normal vanilla icing. Our favorite part was actually the milk chocolate medallion on top, which doesn’t really bode well for the cupcake. The crispy pearls were good as well — and we always like that extra crunchy texture with soft desserts — but most of them fell off when we took off the wrapping around the base. A look inside If you have kids (or kids-at-heart) who love super sweet treats, this cupcake will definitely fit the bill. But if you prefer more balanced flavors in your desserts, we recommend trying something different! There are plenty of 50th anniversary treats around Disney World — you can read our reviews here to help you pick the best ones for you! We’ll continue making our way around Disney World today, so stay tuned for the latest updates! Want to read more 50th anniversary food reviews? Click here!

When Walt Disney dreamed up his “Florida Project,” I think he had days like this in mind. I was standing at the gates of Magic Kingdom Park this morning as guests cheered with joy as they entered the park to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney World Resort. This was a moment five decades […]http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/DisneyParks/~4/FiDeyy17_a4View the full article

Welcome to Disney World’s 50th anniversary celebration! Tree of Life We’ve been checking out the parks all day to give you a look at the crowds, new entertainment, decor, merchandise, and specialty treats! In case you missed it, there are about 150 new treats for Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and we’ve been giving you our thoughts on them throughout the day. Now, we’re headed to Disney’s Animal Kingdom to check out a new snack and margarita! Nomad Lounge is one of our favorite places to hang out at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, so we’re excited that this spot has some new 50th anniversary treats! We love Nomad Lounge! First up is the Firefly Margarita which is made with Casamigos Reposado Tequila, ancho reyes liqueur, lime juice, simple syrup, and pineapple juice. It’s on the menu at Nomad Lounge, but we actually picked ours up nearby at the Dawa Bar instead. The drink is a bit on the pricier side at $16, so let’s see how it tastes! Firefly Margarita It’s a beautiful color, but don’t let that fool you — this thing packs a PUNCH. It’s legitimately spicy with a pineapple dunked in red chili pepper and that red chili liquor. We see why it’s called a “firefly” margarita, because it definitely lit up our taste buds. It’s so green! Don’t mind us, we’ll just be drinking lots of water in the next few hours to try and recover. Ouch. Nomad Lounge is already one of our favorites for unique food and drink, so these additions to the menu are very fitting!

Happy Birthday, Disney World! Cheers to 50 Years! The 50th Anniversary Celebration has officially started, and yes, we are running around Disney World right now, checking out TONS of new things. We’ve already gotten a look at the new fireworks shows, the new merchandise, the new golden statues, and some of the new food. A LOT of new food is coming to Disney World for the 50th. For this particular food adventure, we’re heading to Disney’s Yacht Club Resort to grab a sweet treat! At The Market at Ale & Compass in Disney’s Yacht Club Resort you’ll find the brand NEW 50th Celebration Tart. This new tart is made of a Birthday Cake Mousse Dome on top of a Milk Chocolate Mousse-Filled Vanilla Tart Shell with Buttercream and Chocolate Decor. The Celebration Tart also featured little globs of more buttercream icing underneath the top layer. The bow on top is made of white chocolate and is dusted with gold powder. We’ll start with looks. The tart is totally adorable and we love the mix of blues, pinks, and golds that have been used. In terms of taste, the actual tart shell itself is tasty and has a nice shortbread taste and consistency. The chocolate mousse featured in the tart is fluffy and tastes really good. Celebration Tart But, all in all, the treat was just WAY too sweet for our taste. It was essentially icing on top of icing on top of mousse on top of more mousse — it was…a LOT. We wish that one of those mousse or icing components would have been swapped for a berry component or something that could have added a little bit of tartness to balance things out. Celebration Tart If you love chocolate, especially chocolate mousse, milk chocolate (which you get from those ears), and white chocolate, then you might really enjoy this treat. You’ll have to also LOVE icing and really sweet treats too though. Basically, this is a treat for icing and chocolate lovers. Celebration Tart If you don’t like chocolate mousse or only like your sweets to have a thin layer of icing, this is a snack you’ll want to stay far away from. Our reporter who tried this noted that they love chocolate mousse, but they said the treat was one they couldn’t eat too much of because it just had SO much icing and sweet components. Celebration Tart One thing we want to note is that when we went to grab the treat the Cast Members were unsure of the price. They tried to look for a label for the item, but they couldn’t find it. At the time, the item was provided to us for free. Be sure to ask about the price for this item if you stop to grab it.

The 50th Anniversary is here and we’re covering EVERYTHING going on around the Disney parks and resorts, which means spotting a TON of new snacks! Timone, Pumba, and Simba Character Statues We’ve already tried some attraction-themed food, a very classy cake, and a bath tub full of ice cream. Now we’re stopping by Animal Kingdom to try a new cupcake that’s a bit on the wicked side. Over at Restaurantosaurus, you can grab the Maleficent Dragon Cupcake for $5.99. This treat is a purple velvet cupcake with “dragon blood orange curd” inside and vanilla frosting on top. It’s decorated with an edible picture of Maleficent as a dragon, white chocolate flames, and green and purple crispy pearls. Maleficent Dragon Cupcake We were intrigued by the fact that this is a purple velvet cupcake, so we were excited to try this! Maleficent Dragon Cupcake The most unique thing about the cupcake actually wasn’t the cake — it was the dragon blood orange curd inside. We thought this citrus-y curd had a delicious flavor that paired really well with the moist cake. Details The cupcake had a LOT of FROSTING piled on top. So this one is for our Disney frosting fans — you know who you are! Overall this treat has some unique flavors. And it’s just a really cool-looking treat with those chocolate flames coming out of it! A look inside If you’re hoping for a more rich or exciting dessert, this probably shouldn’t be your top choice. But it’s a tasty treat and the curd inside makes it a little more interesting than your average cupcake. LOTS of frosting We’re covering EVERYTHING from the big 50th Anniversary celebration, so stay tuned with DFB for more!

Howdy, folks! Welcome to Disney World’s 50th Anniversary Celebration! Pecos Bill There is SO much going on right now. There are 50th anniversary decorations up everywhere, we’ve seen the golden character statues in all four parks, we’ve thrown money at a ton of new 50th merchandise, and we trying out ALL the 50th anniversary foods we can because that’s what we do! And our latest quest to eat EVERYTHING has brought us to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe at Magic Kingdom. Here we’re trying two new 50th anniversary menu items. So let’s get to it! We started with the EARIdescent Nugget Churro for $5.89. Churro Nugs! Except…we are often disappointed with Disney World churros. They’re okay, but they’re nothing like the fresh ones we’ve had at Disneyland. These are pretty much the same mini churros Pecos Bill always has, so there’s nothing THAT special about them — even the “EARidescent” sugar looked like regular sugar to us. Where’s the EARidescence? We washed that so-called EARidescence down with the Bear Tracks Slush for $5.99. This is a Barq’s Root Beer and Vanilla Slush topped with Whipped Cream, Chocolate, and Peanut Butter Pieces. Okay, well, look at it first because we have some things to say here… . Um…there’s this… It looks fine, but this slush is…well…not great. It doesn’t taste like Root Beer at all, and it leaves a strong aftertaste in your mouth that will have you quickly reaching for a mint. It was an odd (and BAD) fruity aftertaste. So far, this might be the biggest fail of Disney World’s 50th anniversary foods for us. It probably sounded great on paper, but in reality, it’s a “no” from us. NOT a fave Like we said, we’re eating ALL THE FOOD Disney World has released for the 50th anniversary, so stay tuned for more reviews!

Today’s the 50th Anniversary of Disney World and it’s SUPER busy at Magic Kingdom today! Crowds We’ve been giving you live updates on the crowds, the new map, tons of new treats, and so much more! This is great news if you love the hustle and bustle of a busy theme park, but bad news if you love using Mobile Order! Here’s what’s happening with Mobile Order wait times at the Magic Kingdom. We’ve Mobile Ordered from several different restaurants in the Magic Kingdom today and had a pretty similar experience with most of them: LONG wait times. We placed an order at Pecos Bill and waited about 90 minutes for our food after we hit the “prepare my order” button! There are tons of guests in the park right now, so restaurants are overflowing with orders. We heard a Cast Member offering refunds to anyone who wanted to cancel their order after hearing about the wait times. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn Cafe So keep that in mind if you’re looking for the Widow Maker Sandwich or any of Pecos Bill’s other 50th Anniversary offerings! Check out that skewer of bacon! Craving something from Friar’s Nook? When we ordered, it took just over 50 minutes for our food to be ready. The Friar’s Nook So if those Mr. Toad treats are the apple of your eye, be sure to factor in that wait time! Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride-themed Food Over at Cosmic Ray’s in Tomorrowland, our Mobile Order took 100 minutes (!!!). Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe Be sure to remember that when you’re looking for the ooey-gooey Mission to Mars burger!

During our previews of Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the expanded area of the France pavilion, we were able to spot all kinds of adorable Ratatouille-themed merchandise being sold at a green kiosk within the expanded area. Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure Merchandise We expect that this kiosk will likely be utilized in the future to sell the merchandise themed to this area. CHEESE Necklaces! Today, however, this particular merchandise kiosk was closed. Instead of heading into the expanded France pavilion to grab the new Ratatouille merchandise, guests were being directed to the World Showplace building, which is located between the Canada and United Kingdom pavilions. This arrangement could have been set up due to the large number of expected guests as it is the opening day for Remy’s Ratatouille Adventure and the start of the 50th Anniversary celebration. This set-up could continue for a period of time though, so during your visit you’ll want to check and see whether Ratatouille merchandise is being sold at the kiosk in the expansion area or in World Showplace. Waiting to Shop! There was quite the line of guests waiting to grab Ratatouille merchandise inside World Showplace. If you’ve got your eye on a cheese necklace or a remote-controlled mouse, be aware that you’ll likely have to do some waiting. Once we got inside World Showplace, we were able to check out all of the new Ratatouille merchandise. While we didn’t go inside ourselves, we were able to look at a list of items that will be available, as shown to us by a wonderful Disney World Cast Member. The items you’ll find inside include the Remy Bump and Go Toys that are designed to look like the attraction vehicles ($14.99)… Vehicle Toy …a WEARABLE Remy Remote-controlled Buddy ($34.99) (he can crawl all over you and it’s kind of awesome and also terrifying)… Remote Control Remy Buddy …an Emile Remote-controlled Buddy ($34.99)… Emile …Remy and Emile Cheese Plushes ($24.99)… Cheese plush!! …and more (including a cheese glow necklace — a must for cheese lovers!).
