Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort has tricks and treats for every boo and ghoul. From perfect photo moments to enchanting experiences, here are some ways kids can enjoy the Halloween season at both Disneyland park and Disney California Adventure park! Cruise through Radiator Screams and take a spin around Mater’s Graveyard JamBOOree If you’re dying to do a spine-tinglin’ twirl, this special Halloween attraction in Disney California Adventure park is a perfect Haul-O-Ween hoedown for kids of all ages. Mater’s haunted hootenanny plays creepy country tunes infused with Halloween spirit, including “Welcome to Radiator Screams,” “Monster Truck Smash” and other frightfully delightful dark ditties. All van-pires and wheel-wolves are welcome to join! Pit stop and visit the Cars gang in their Halloween car-stumes The residents of Radiator Screams have not only decorated their homes for the season, but are also donning their Halloween best as they get ready for trunk-or-treating. The resident speedster Lightning McQueen is ready to save the day in his superhero costume while his best friend Mater is sucking up all the Halloween fun as a van-pire. Cruz and Red also get into the Halloween spirit as a pirate and a clown. Every character adds bumper-to-bumper kicks and tricks as kids cruise down Route 66. Dance it out with favorite Disney villains Even villains like to get down and boogie after a day of wicked fun. At the Villains Dance Party at Tomorrowland Terrace in Disneyland park, kids can show off their most dastardly dance moves along with some of Disney’s most evil villains. You never know which villains may stop by! Feast on fang-tastic treats To go with all the tricks at the Disneyland Resort, Halloween-themed treats are available at various locations. At Disney California Adventure park, kids can snack on a peanut butter and jelly Mummy Donut from Schmoozies or a S’mores Churro from the churro cart near the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail. Enjoy this churro rolled in graham cracker crumbs and topped with chocolate chips and a marshmallow drizzle. At Disneyland park, the Trick-or-Treat Sundae Duo at the Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor is a perfect cool-down treat for a beautiful day in the Southern California weather. Throughout the resort, kids can delight in delicious candy, including a Mickey-shaped Spider Web Crispy Treat which is available at Candy Palace and Hunny Spot in Disneyland park, Trolley Treats and Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff at Disney California Adventure park and Marceline’s Confectionery at the Downtown Disney District. Show off your Halloween spirit with seasonal merchandise Along with the memories they make at the Disneyland Resort, kids of all ages can be with their best pals Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse every day with a Mickey vampire and Minnie witch plush toy. Kids can show off their Halloween spirit with a “Happy Halloween” t-shirt. Also, kids can light up their trick-or-treating trail with a glow pumpkin spin toy. Smile and say “pumpkin” No Halloween season would be complete without pumpkins galore. Head on down to the pumpkin festival on Main Street, U.S.A to see the boo-tiful seasonal décor. Kids won’t be able to do anything but smile as they take in the Halloween spirit surrounding them. Be sure to capture the moment with a picture in front of the enormous Mickey-shaped pumpkin! Trick-or-treat at the Hotels of the Disneyland Resort If you are staying on property, the three Hotels of the Disneyland Resort offers the full Halloween experience with trick-or-treating fun on select afternoons in October. Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Disneyland Hotel and Disney’s Paradise Pier Hotel will have treat maps of locations, so little ghosts and goblins (and their parents) who are staying at the hotels can make the most of their candy collecting adventures! Head on over to the Disneyland Resort for Halloween fun that will cast a spell over kids of all ages. For ideas on Halloween experiences for young adults, check out our previous blog story!

Magic will soon be in the air at Walt Disney World Resort when the new Disney Skyliner transportation system opens to guests this Sunday, Sept. 29, 2019. Disney executives were joined by several other cast members this morning at Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort for a special dedication moment for the complimentary new transportation system. Today’s festivities featured Disney characters, fireworks and more in honor of this “most magical flight on Earth.” Take a look at this video to see some of the fun: Disney Skyliner connects Epcot and Disney’s Hollywood Studios to four Disney resort hotels – Disney’s Art of Animation Resort, Disney’s Pop Century Resort, Disney’s Caribbean Beach Resort and the forthcoming Disney’s Riviera Resort, a Disney Vacation Club resort set to open Dec. 16, 2019. The system serves as a magic carpet, floating guests through the air aboard approximately 300 gondolas, nearly half of which are wrapped in whimsical Disney scenes of beloved characters, fan-favorite movies, theme park attractions and more. While riding Disney Skyliner, guests are treated to never-before-seen views of Walt Disney World Resort as they float along the treetops and waterways alike. The system provides bird’s-eye vantage points of Disney icons such as the Hollywood Tower Hotel and Spaceship Earth. Keep checking the Disney Parks Blog for more on this high-flying new addition to Walt Disney World Resort! View the full article

While we’re excited to see Main Street, USA decked out for autumn every year, there’s another delightful Disney World tradition we always look forward to that you might not even know about! Fall at Magic Kingdom Come along with us to learn more about this little-known fall custom! If you’ve ever stayed at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort in the fall, you might have some idea what we’re talking about! Welcome to Fort Wilderness! Campers at Disney’s Fort Wilderness & Campground use golf carts to get around the grounds of this resort instead of cars. Many folks rent golf carts to use during their Disney World vacays, while others bring their golf carts from home. Fall Decorated Golf Cart But no matter the golf cart, it has become a customary practice for people to decorate their golf carts for the season. This week we spotted a bunch of golf carts sporting some adorable autumnal decor! Fall Decorated Golf Cart We also spotted some football-themed golf carts… Fall Decorated Golf Carts And some that were very decked-out! Fall Decorated Golf Cart A closer look at this golf cart’s crafty decorations reveals two hidden Mickeys! We see what you did there with those scarecrows! Very clever! Fall Decorated Golf Cart Some of these golf carts were pretty fancy-looking! We wouldn’t mind going for a ride in this golf cart that looked more like an old-timey automobile! Fall Decorated Golf Cart And it even had a little friend on the back! We just hope he’s not a backseat driver! Fall Decorated Golf Carts Want to swing by Disney’s Fort Wilderness & Campground and see the golf carts decorated for fall for yourself? They might not be worth a visit just to see them, but they’d be a fun bonus to dinner and a show at Hoop-Dee-Doo Revue! Have you ever decorated a golf cart at Disney’s Fort Wilderness & Campground?

It’s one of DFB’s favorite times of the year in Walt Disney World — greetings from the Epcot International Food and Wine Festival! Hello, Food and Wine Festival! We adore sampling our way around the booths, jamming out to the Eat to the Beat Concerts, and attending special events and seminars! And that last one is what we’re talking about today — we recently attended one of our favorite Low Cost Seminars and are excited to share photos and a review with you. Are you ready to Mix It, Make It, and Celebrate It? The Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshops are offered twice at week throughout the Festival: Mondays and Thursdays at 12pm. Each one offers you the chance to roll up your sleeves and get your hands dirty as you learn from an expert. Each Workshop is different — you may be shaking up cocktails, or making sushi, or decorating cupcakes. World Showplace The Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshops take place in World Showplace, which is between the United Kingdom and Canada Pavilions. (Previously most of the Festival Special Events took place in the Festival Center in the Wonders of Life Pavilion. Currently Wonders of Life is closed due to Epcot’s major transformation.) Read more about the changes coming to Epcot here! Workshop Table We checked in with the Cast Members and found our seat at one of the several round tables in the room. Each seat had the ingredients pre-portioned and (mostly) labeled, so everything you need is ready to go! Any guess what we’re making yet? Individual Workshop Setting If you guessed cocktails — you’re right! We attended the Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshop titled “Nolet Spirits: The Taste of Family Tradition.” Nolet Spirits is over 325 years old, and their notable spirits include Nolet’s Silver Gin and Ketel One Vodka. During our workshop we learned we’d be making two iconic cocktails with these legendary liquors. At each setting, there were several empty cups and glasses (soon to be full), as well as pre-measured amounts of gin, vodka, tonic water, and tomato juice. (I bet you can guess the cocktails we’re going to make!) Workshop Liquids We also had two plates with garnishes — one had a raspberry, mint leaf, and lime, and the other had celery, lemon, and an olive. Garnish Plate Each person also received little containers of Horseradish, Lemon Juice, Smoked Paprika, Salt, and Pepper, as well as pipettes of Tabasco Hot Sauce and Worcestershire Sauce. Individual Garnishes Lastly, in the center of each table were ice buckets and pitchers of water. The ice is intended for the cocktails, as well as ice water should you want some. Water and Ice The Workshop began with a short presentation on the history and heritage of Nolet’s Spirits by Vice President Brett Goering. The company is older than the United States (!!!) and currently 11th generation family members run the distillery. Workshop Presenters After a brief (and very interesting!) history lesson, it was time to start mixing! Gin and Tonic in progress First up, a Gin and Tonic featuring Nolet’s Silver Gin, which is distilled with rose, peach, and raspberries. We were asked to “give the gin a nose” (aka smell it) and sample a small sip straight up before making the cocktail. It was smooth and delicious! Our hosts then walked us through, step-by-step, how to make the cocktail — from which glass to use, to how much ice is needed, to which order you pour the liquids. Gin and Tonic We then discovered the use of our first garnish plate — it was time to kick up the gin and tonic! We were encouraged to choose what we liked from the raspberry, lime, and mint and to mix it into our cocktail. We got a little crazy and chose all three. Gin and Tonic After squeezing in the lime and swirling around the raspberry to release the flavors, we took a sip. This cocktail was delicious! I’m not even a HUGE Gin fan, but wow this was refreshing. *adds Nolet’s Silver Gin to grocery list* Even if you aren’t the biggest gin fan (and this didn’t convert you), we learned lots of important cocktail-making facts. For example, you must stir instead of shake anything with tonic or soda water as to not flatten the bubbles. Also, for the perfect cocktail, you must have elements of bitter, sweet, alcohol, and sour. In this case, the gin is obviously the alcohol, the tonic is bitter, the lime is sour, and the mint and raspberry are the sweet. Workshop Presentation Next, up our second cocktail: a Bloody Mary! (You had no idea right?! The tomato juice totally didn’t give it away!?) I was VERY excited about this one because I love Bloody Marys, and our presenters talked to us about how customizable they are! Bloody Mary Garnish Plate In fact, the customization starts with the glass! We were told we had the choice to salt the rim (or not!) by using our garnish plate and pre-measured spices. Or to get really crazy, you can salt AND pepper the glass. Sign me up! Salt and Peppered Glass Using the lemon slice as a sticking agent, I salt and peppered half of my rim. But the choice was totally up to you — salt the whole rim, none of the rim, don’t use pepper, only use pepper, whatever you like! Adding Tabasco We were then instructed to make our Bloody Mary, and most importantly, to make it our own! Beyond the Ketel One Vodka and Tomato Juice, the choices were all up to us. This is where the rest of the spices and ingredients came in handy. Personally, I added Worcestershire, Lemon, Smoked Paprika, and Tabasco for some heat. Finished Bloody Mary The biggest appeal of BOTH of these cocktails is the ability to make them your own. While they are incredibly simple, two-ingredient drinks on their premise, customizing them to your liking was super fun. It certainly made me change my mind about Gin and Tonics, and gave me some ideas for the next time I host brunch. *starts pintresting Bloody Mary bars* Cocktail Recipes Finally, we each had a recipe card at the table, which was a nice take away. We feel pretty confident we can remember the main ingredients, but this is great for garnish ideas! Workshop Stage Our Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshop lasted almost exactly an hour. The Workshop cost is $45 per person (plus tax) and the schedule for the remainder of the Festival can be found here. Overall, this a great Low Cost Seminar at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival. Not only do you get an hour or so inside air-conditioning, but you get to learn from the experts! We loved being able to literally get our hands dirty, and taste how our hard work pays off. I walked away with new knowledge of gin and vodka distilling, a new-found respect for a classic cocktail, and a new idea for entertaining at home. Plus, two cocktails! If you’ve been to the Food and Wine Festival before and you’re looking for something new to try out, we definitely suggest trying out a Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshop. Or if you check out the schedule and see a particular brand or item you’d love to learn more about, this is a great way to do it! Are you headed to a Mix It! Make It! Celebrate It! Workshop this year? Let us know in the comments!

It’s #FeelGoodFriday, and today, we’re celebrating our company’s deeply-rooted heritage in the arts that all started with a drawing of a small mouse. It’s no surprise that creativity and artistic expression is at the core of Disney storytelling, and as part of our longstanding commitment to the Central Florida arts community, we aim to encourage and empower children to step into the spotlight and chase their dreams every day. That’s why we recently surprised Central Florida Community Arts during their weekly choir rehearsal as the latest Central Florida nonprofit to be #GrantedByDisney with a $100,000 investment. This Disney Grant will fund the expansion of their existing programming to local students who might not otherwise be exposed to the arts. Central Florida Community Arts serves to build and strengthen communities through the arts and creative expression. Their mission is to provide accessibility to the arts at a young age, enabling enriching experiences that lead to lifelong engagement and appreciation for the arts. Through the organization’s unique programming, local students are learning how to express themselves in healthy, creative ways, while working with others in team-building environments. With their $100,000 Disney Grant, Central Florida Community Arts will be able to expand their existing programming to even more local students. As part of this expansion, arts-focused camps and curriculum will be introduced to select schools in the local Parramore and Pine Hills neighborhoods. During the surprise celebration, more than 175 members of the Central Florida Community Arts choir received a special serenade from a Walt Disney World Resort a capella group—it was such a touching moment to have a room filled with pure joy. The magic we felt during this surprise made for the perfect #FeelGoodFriday moment that will surely last us well into the weekend. Stay tuned to find out which local nonprofit organization will be #GrantedByDisney next. View the full article

Spider-man…Spider-man…is still a part of the MCU…land! (Hey, it’s hard to rhyme with MCU guys.) Spider-man: Far From Home ©Sony After months of back and forth between Disney and Sony, an agreement has finally been reached for the cinematic fate of Tom Holland’s Spider-man! Spidey has been a fan favorite since his introduction to the Marvel Cinematic Universe (or MCU, for short), but when Disney and Sony couldn’t reach a decision on the future of Spider-man in films, fans thought they might never see their Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man return to the big screen in his current form. Spider-Man ©Disney Late Thursday, Disney and Sony signed a deal officially agreeing to keep the next Spider-man film, starring Tom Holland and produced by Kevin Feige, in the MCU. This version of Spidey will also make one more appearance in an upcoming MCU film. So what does this all actually mean??? Avengers Infinity War Poster ©Disney Here’s how this all breaks down: When Disney acquired Marvel in 2009, it came with a bit of baggage. Disney owns Marvel, so they own Spider-man. But when they acquired Marvel, any contracts already in place were honored. This includes Marvel giving full film rights to Spider-man to Sony years before. Any Spider-man theatrical film that comes out, Sony will release and have creative control over. That’s why films like Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse could happen — Disney didn’t have a hand in its creation, only Sony did. Sony can do what they like with Spider-man in the movies without Disney’s involvement. The flip side is Disney had to get Sony to give them the rights to use Spider-man in all the Marvel films he’s appeared in thus far. Spider-man ©Sony Disney has full rights for Spider-man everywhere else including non-theatrical media use (we’re interested to see if this includes streaming services like Disney+), merchandise, and theme park rights…for the most part. The other hiccup in the Disney/Marvel merger was that Marvel had already made a deal with Universal Studios for theme park use of their characters. So in honoring that, Disney can’t have Marvel characters in Orlando or Japan where Universal has theme parks with those characters (hence why no Avengers Campus at either of those locations. Boo. ) Avengers Campus Art ©Disney So, at least Spidey will be played by Tom Holland 2 more times. One in the next Spider-man film, due out July 16, 2021, and once again in a yet to be named Marvel film. After that, it’s up to Sony how we will see Spider-man next on the big screen. But with Disney owning the crazy-successful Marvel Universe, if they want to tap into those characters (umm..please keep Happy Hogan and Nick Fury with Spidey!) and that world, more deals with Disney will have to be made down the road. But for now, fans can rest easy they get to see Holland on the big screen playing our favorite Peter Parker 2 more times. Are you pumped to see Spidey web-slinging in the MCU for 2 more films?!

Yesterday was World Maritime Day, and to celebrate, we’re spotlighting the incredible female Crew Members and Officers onboard our ships. Disney Cruise Line is dedicated to empowering our women at sea for the benefit of all of our Crew Members and the maritime industry at large. Take a look at this video to learn more about the contribution of women at Disney Cruise Line from our female officers. Disney Cruise Line is committed to inspiring the next generation of female leaders in the maritime industry. Earlier this year, you may remember that Disney Cruise Line announced that it will sponsor four scholarships at the LJM Maritime Academy for female cadets aspiring to become ship captains and shipboard leaders. The scholarships, one for each of the ships in the Disney Cruise Line fleet, will include tuition to the three-year program – two years of study at the academy and one year of service aboard a Disney ship. Other programs include the debut of Captain Minnie Mouse who will make the rounds on all Disney ships and visit port communities including those in The Bahamas. And later this year, Captain Minnie Mouse will also appear in an all-new, onboard youth activity being developed for Disney Cruise Line ships where young captain hopefuls will practice STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) skills in a fun, interactive marine-themed activity. As a woman, I’m proud to work with so many inspirational women across all levels of the organization and am grateful that Disney fosters a supportive work environment for everyone.

The snazzy designer ears are all the rage in the Disney parks these days. Between the Loungefly, Betsey Johnson, and SHAG Tiki Room ears, it seems like we’re chatting about new ears all the time. Loungefly Designer Ears But the pair set to debut on Saturday, September 28th just might take the prize for being the most over-the-top. That’s right, we’re talking about the Heidi Klum ears! Heidi Klum Designer Ears ©Disney According to Disney Style, these glitzy ears will set you back a whopping $600! The ears feature “over 150 Swarovski crystals” and weigh a half-pound. They are pretty spectacular looking, but we’re not sure if we could throw down that kind of cash for a pair of Minnie ears. Heidi Klum Designer Ears ©Disney If you’re planning to be in Disneyland this weekend, you can actually meet Heidi Klum herself at The Disney Dress Shop in Downtown Disney from 2 to 4 PM on September 28th. Otherwise, you should be able to find these ears in various locations around Disneyland, including Disneyana, New Century Jewelry, and Elias & Co.

Are you looking to get your drink on during your Disney vacay? Then we’ve got some great news for ya. Spike it UP! Some of our favorite classic (and NEW!) snacks and treats around Walt Disney World now come SPIKED! (And you don’t have to drink your way around Epcot to find them)! Let’s take a little look at some surprising options… . 1. Rodian Ration at Oga’s Cantina Oga’s Cantina Rodian Ration is basically a Batuuan jello shot! Rodian Ration in Oga’s Cantina The Rodian Ration is made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, Dekuyper Pucker Sour Apple, green apple, Sprite, boba balls, annnnnnnd pop rocks! Rodian Ration Get ready for an explosion of flavors and fun with this treat thanks to the juicy boba balls and the crunchy pop rocks! Though this thing looks like it’s from another world, it actually tastes pretty great. We enjoyed the tart flavor from the apple liqueur and appreciated that we could taste both the jello AND the vodka, without it being overwhelmingly strong. Rodian Ration We think this and the Fuzzy Tauntaun are both REALLY fun drinks to try if you find yourself hanging out at Oga’s Cantina. Though we feel like $13.50 is a little steep in price, we still recommend giving this thing a try at least once! Check out our full Oga’s Cantina review here! 2. Boozy Milk in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge Speaking of Galaxy’s Edge, did you know that you can actually get a boozy version of Blue and Green Milk in Hollywood Studios?! Well, ya totally can and they’re referred to as Blue and Green Milk Coolers! Alcoholic Blue and Green Milk Spiked or not, both Blue and Green Milk are non-dairy and plant-based frozen beverages made with rice and coconut milks. If you do go with the alcoholic option, Disney will simply add Bacardi rum to the Blue Milk and Corazon Blanco tequila to the Green Milk. Green and Blue Milk Coolers While these are fun things to try, we’ve always found the flavors to be a little bit dull. Though we do enjoy the boozy Milk Coolers over the standard Green and Blue Milk. You can read our full Boozy Blue and Green Milk review here! 3. Goofy’s Glaciers If you know DFB, then you know that we’re suckers for Goofy’s Glaciers. These slushies come in loooots of different flavors and are a great way to cool down when shopping your way around Disney Springs. Goofy’s Glaciers And guess what!! Many may not know, but you can NOW ADD BOOZE to these bad boys!!! Boozy Goofy’s Glaciers During our last visit, we had the choice between tequila, whiskey, vodka, or rum. So, naturally, we tried all four! And y’all, we were total fans of all of the drinks combinations we tried! Brrr-Banana Boozy Glacier Buuut, our fav combo had to be banana and whiskey. Strange, I know, but it was SO GOOD. Click here for our FULL Boozy Goofy’s Glacier review! 4. Dole Whip Spiked Pineapple Dole Whip We’ve known about Spiked Dole Whip since it starting popping up at Trader Sam’s as the Spikey Pineapple a while back. Spikey Pineapple at Trader Sams But, recently MORE locations throughout Walt Disney World have started adding versions of Spiked Dole Whip to their menus. Captain’s Pineapple Drink at Art of Animation Resort We’re suckers for a good Dole Whip float, but there’s something about adding rum that makes it EVEN BETTER. Find out where to get spiked Dole Whip here! Dole Whip Lime Margarita Did you know that you can get a freaking Dole Whip Lime MARGARITA at Disney’s Polynesian Resort? Well ya can, and it’s setting other margs to shame. Dole Whip Lime Margarita This drink is made with lime Dole Whip and Corazon Blanco Tequila. You can also get your choice of a salt or a Tajin rim. Personally, we go with Tajin, simply because we’re suckers for its spicy chili-lime flavor. Dole Whip Lime Margarita And if you aren’t a lover of the tequila, there’s no need to skip this drink because we honestly felt like the lime Dole Whip was the star flavor. Dole Whip Lime Margarita You can read our full Dole Whip Lime Margarita here! Dole Whip Froscato The Basket at Wine Bar George is servin’ up a drink that took the Internet by storm…a Dole Whip Froscato. Dole Whip Froscato This drink is made with pineapple Dole Whip and is blended with both vodka and Moscato for $13. Dole Whip Froscato And CALLING ALL MIMOSA LOVERS. The Dole Whip Froscato can also be purchased in the form of a mimosa! Simply ask them to substitute the vodka and Moscato for Prosecco! Read all about the Dole Whip Froscato! Lime Dole Whip Friezling And speaking of Wine Bar George, have you heard about their new Friezling?? Friezling This drink is made with lime Dole Whip, Selbach Riesling, and vodka. And friends…you may want to sit down because we think this drink BEATS OUT the Dole Whip Froscato. Put simply, it’s tart, boozy, and freakin’ good. You should probs add this one to your must-have list! Friezling And when purchasing one of these, also check out Wine Bar George’s Corkcicles. While the Friezling is $13.85 on its own, guests have the option to purchase a Corkcicle. These are fun little cups that are intended to keep your drink cold! If you choose to purchase the Corkcicle, you’ll be able to get a Friezling or other frozen drink of your choice and a Corkcicle in the color of your choice for $30. This is a HUGE plus because those who purchase the Corkcicle will receive $10 refills! Read our full Friezling review here! 5. Boozy Milkshakes Guinness Bailey’s Shake You can find the Guinness Bailey’s Shake at the Ireland Booth during Epcot’s International Food and Wine Festival. Guinness Baileys Shake This frozen, creamy drink packs one powerful punch! While the Guinness flavor makes an impact, we didn’t feel like it was overwhelming. Guinness Bailey’s Shake You can read more about the Guinness Bailey’s Shake here! The Smokey Bones Chocolate Shake The Smokey Bones Chocolate Shake ($10.00) is BACON us crazyyy. This shake, which can be found at Trilo-Bites in Animal Kingdom is made with bourbon (!!!) and bacon! What a dreamy combo, right? Smokey Bones Chocolate Shake This drink is fun for those adventurous bacon lovers and has a great mixture of salty and sweet. A nice blend of chocolate and bacon rarely goes wrong and we’re BIG fans of this iconic combo. Check it out the next time you’re in Animal Kingdom and let us know what ya think! Smokey Bones Chocolate Shake Read more about the Smokey Bones Chocolate Shake here! Adult Hard Floats and Milkshakes at Beaches and Cream And don’t forget that one of our favorite ice cream joints — Beaches and Cream — has boozy shakes AND floats. Beaches & Cream Even though Beaches and Cream is operating out of a temporary location at the moment, they’re still servin’ up a few of their famous adult-only options. Beaches and Cream Satellite Location These include the Stout Float, Grasshopper Float, Tropical Sunrise Float, and The Classic Root Beer Float. Adult Drink Menu at Beaches & Cream Sadly, if you’re looking to get one of their famous boozy shakes, you’ll have to wait until the refurbished Beaches and Cream location opens again! You can read our boozy Beaches and Cream review here! 6. Spiked Popsicles Wine Pops Wine Pops have recently made their way to both Italy in Epcot AND Pizza Ponte in Disney Springs. Pizza Ponte Wine Pops These boozy slices of heaven come in many different flavors depending on where you get them. This is one of our FAV options because it’s a refreshing snack and a boozy pick-me-up all in one! Sparkling Strawberry Wine Popsicle A few of our favorites are the Sparking Strawberry, the Back Porch Peach Pop, and the White Sangria Pop. Read all about these boozy pops here! Buzz Pop Cocktails Speaking of Boozy Popsicles!! Paddlefish in Disney Springs has their own version of a boozy popsicle, known as the Buzz Pop. Buzz Pop Cocktails ©Paddlefish Buzz Pops come in fun summery flavors like Peach Paradise Sorbet and Caribbean Breeze Sorbet! Try ’em out and let us know what ya think! Get boozy with the Buzz Pop Cocktails here! 7. Gelato Martini from L’Artisan des Glaces And we can’t talk about booze without mentioning one of our all-time favorites, the Ice Cream Martini! Ice Cream Martini in Epcot’s France This glass of greatness can be found at L’Artisan des Glaces in Epcot’s France pavilion. We love this sweet treat because it gives you the option to pick two scoops of gelato or sorbet. Your choices will then be placed in a fun little martini glass and topped with your choice of liquor. Ice Cream Martini from L’Artisan des Glaces in Epcot’s France Pavilion You can choose from Grand Marnier, imported Rum from Martinique, and Whipped Cream flavored vodka! We seriously LOVE this little treat and feel like it’s ANOTHER one to add to the must-have list for sure. Ice Cream Martini Read our latest Ice Cream Gelato review here! 8. Boozy Beignets Walt Disney World has stepped up their beignet game thanks to the introduction of Boozy Beignets! Oh yeah, my friends, Disney will add a pipette FILLED with booze to your classic pillowy beignet! Boozy Beignet And it’s not just any booze! You’ll have the option to booze up those beignets with Baileys, Kahlua, or Rumchata…such a DREAMYYY combo! OH, and don’t forget the SECRET MENU Godiva Chocolate spiked option! Boozy Beignet One might believe that this would make the beignet soggy, but NOPE, that’s totally not the case. Since you’re injecting the alcohol into the center, you will get a nice boozy flavor without the mess. Chocolate Boozy Beignets Inside So, I know you’re wondering where to head for these slices of heaven.

Spiked Arendelle Aqua Drinks OK, so maybe this isn’t all that SURPRISING per say, but they are a fun addition to the spiked stuff around Disney World so we wanted to include them! Plus — they’re TIMELY! ;-D Arendelle Aqua Frozen Lemonade from Sunshine Seasons We found a secret way to booze up the Arendelle Aqua Frozen Lemonade from Epcot’s Sunshine Seasons! We did this by requesting to add a shot of Bacardi Raspberry Rum to our frozen lemonade made with Monin Cotton Candy syrup. Arendelle Aqua Frozen Lemonade We suggest this drink because 1) it’s GORG 2) it’s boozy 3) it’s BOMB. We did have to stir the drink up a bit because our first sip was filled with sweet syrup. But, after mixing it, we found that this is a tart and refreshing drink. While the booze wasn’t super noticeable, we loved how the raspberry and cotton candy flavors blended together! Arendelle Aqua Frozen Lemonade You can find this tart boozy drink at Sunshine Seasons for $11.25. Take a look at our full Arendelle Aqua Frozen Lemonade review here! Arendelle Aqua Lemonade from Block & Hans Another NEW spiked drink is the Arendelle Aqua Lemonade from Epcot’s Block & Hans. This is a frozen lemonade mixed with Monin Cotton Candy and Ole Smoky Blackberry Moonshine. Arendelle Aqua Lemonade This is a GREAT option for moonshine lovers as that’s the most predominant flavor. Do not worry my fellow cotton candy lovers!! The flavor was still there, it was just very light! Arendelle Aqua Lemonade You can find this at Block & Hans in Epcot for $13.00. Read our full Arendelle Aqua Lemonade review here! Arendelle Aqua Drink from Amorette’s Patisserie If you find yourself looking for something both boozy AND pretty, head over to Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs! Here you’ll find a sparkly Arendelle Aqua drink perfect for your Instagram feed. Arendelle Aqua Drink at Amorette’s This shimmering sip is made with Nino Franco Rustico Prosecco, Bols Blue Curaçao, and Monin Cotton Candy. Then, it’s with sparkly white chocolate Minnie ears which look AND taste good. Arendelle Aqua Drink at Amorette’s Like the Arendelle Aqua Lemonade from Block & Hans, this predominantly tasted like alcohol. We’re not kiddin’…all we tasted was Prosecco. But heck, we love Prosecco, so we didn’t mind at all! You can find this drink at Amorette’s Patisserie for a WHOPPING $19! Read our full Amorette’s Arendelle Aqua drink review here! Arendelle Aqua Arctic Punch from The Daily Poutine If you’re looking for a cheaper Arendelle Aqua option in Disney Springs, head over to The Daily Poutine. Arendelle Aqua Arctic Punch This Frozen-themed drink is a combo of Malibu Coconut Rum, Bols Peach Schnapps, Bols Blue Curacao, and fruit juices. Arendelle Aqua Arctic Punch Not only does this drink SPARKLE, but it also tastes really good!! Even though the alcohol flavors aren’t very strong, we love how the fruity flavors blend together. Totes a great option for those looking for a light and refreshing boozy option. Check out our entire Arendelle Aqua Arctic Punch review here!
