The Drink of the Month at the Coca-Cola Store Rooftop Beverage Bar in Disney Springs is the Simply Refresher! Simply Refresher Pretty, isn’t it? This blend of Simply Orange Juice, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and elderflower liqueur is topped with prosecco. Simply Refresher on the menu We’re happy to share that the Simply Refresher lives up to its refreshing name! You can definitely pick up on the taste of the Jameson, but it doesn’t overpower the rest of the drink. Though the elderflower was not very pronounced, the Prosecco is also present in the flavor and it all comes together very nicely. Simply Refresher You can enjoy it along with the views from the rooftop bar! Simply Refresher You’ve got through the end of June to try the Simply Refresher, and we’ll look forward to what’s to come in July!

Did you know it’s National Pollinator Week? Here at Walt Disney World Resort, we celebrate all animals, even the tiniest ones. While they may be small in stature, pollinators, such as bees and butterflies, are doing big things. These helpful insects move pollen from one part of a flower to another, helping the plant to produce fruit or seeds. This is good for the environment, and for us, because pollinators help fruits, vegetables, and even chocolate grow. In fact, more than 75 percent of the world’s crops rely on pollinators, but unfortunately, pollinators are experiencing a global decline due to habitat loss. At Walt Disney World Resort, pollinator-friendly gardens surround our new 270-acre, 50-megawatt solar facility, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions by more than 50,000 tons per year. In fact, more than two-thirds of the facility is pollinator-friendly and offers a nurturing and welcoming habitat for butterflies, bees and other insects, including endangered and at-risk species. Each week, the team of Disney Environmental and Horticulture experts visits the garden and methodically examines their test plots, observing their attractiveness to pollinators based on a variety of native plants and soil types. The team has spotted over 50 pollinators thus far, which is super encouraging for the team, as the garden is still early on in its growth. Check out this video from Conservation Program Manager Rachel Smith to see what she and other members of Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment team are doing to help pollinators at our solar facility. Be sure to keep reading the Disney Parks Blog and follow the Disney’s Animals, Science and Environment Facebook page all year long for other exciting environmental projects. View the full article

For this summer, the Disney After Hours extra-ticket event in Magic Kingdom has received a villainous makeover. Villains After Hours What’s known for the summer as Disney Villains After Hours is filled with wicked treats, an all-new show, limited edition merchandise, and more! Disney After Hours events, which are also offered at Animal Kingdom and Disney’s Hollywood Studios, are kept at a low capacity to offer lower wait times for popular attractions like Seven Dwarfs Mine Train. We recently explored the new Villains After Hours event, which you can view our full review of here. After Hours events can be pretty pricey, but luckily there is a discount in place for Annual Passholders! Passholders can actually save $30 on event tickets when purchasing them in advance. A standard ticket for Disney Villains After Hours is $148.04 after tax, so this brings that price down quite a bit. Maleficent at Night BUT, the discount isn’t the only perk that Annual Passholders will receive, because starting June 27th, Passholders attending the event will also get a complimentary ornament! The ornament will feature Hades and it can be picked up at Mickey’s Star Traders in Tomorrowland during the event. Passholders will need their photo ID, a valid Annual Pass card, and your Disney Villians After Hours event wristband to claim your ornament. One ornament will be given per Passholder while supplies last! This perk comes at a great time since the company has recently increased the cost of an Annual Pass.

In January of this year, Disney World and Disneyland introduced park-specific reusable shopping bags as part of their many efforts to eliminate single-use plastics. We love that the designs on the bags are specific to the parks where they’re purchased! Reusable Shopping Bags But if you love these merchandise bags like we do, we have a bit of not-so-great news to share. The totes we saw in Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery have all increased in price by a dollar. Magic Kingdom Reusable Shopping Bags When the reusable bags initially debuted, they were $1, $1.50 and $2.00, depending on size. Now, they’re $2.00, $2.50, and $3.00 respectively. That’s a pretty significant price increase in the span of five months! So far, we’ve only seen the new prices in Magic Kingdom, but we assume we’ll see the same price increase in the other parks as well. Reusable Shopping Bags This week is certainly a big one for price jumps, as we’ve already seen increased rates for Disney World Annual Passholders AND overnight parking for Disney World resort guests. What are your thoughts on the reusable bag price increase? Let us know in the comments!

It seems to me like Roaring Fork in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is kicking things up a notch when it comes to cupcakes… Candy Cupcake … as evidenced by the new Candy Cupcake we found today! The first thing to greet your eyes is a heaping helping of super sweet vanilla buttercream icing topped with what looks like all the best scores out of a Halloween trick-or-treat bag! Candy Cupcake Snickers, M&Ms, and Hershey’s minis all make up the toppings. AND, just in case that’s not enough, it’s all drizzled over with caramel sauce! Candy Cupcake A delicious and moist marble cake base has another whole heap of chocolate right in the middle, which is kind of like a mousse in consistency… maybe just a smidge thicker. Candy Cupcake We brought ours outside for pictures for you all, but we recommend keeping this inside for the high melt factor with all that chocolate! That said, it’s a messy cupcake no matter where you eat it… but we mean that in the best and most delightfully messy way possible! The Candy Cupcake — $5.99 or Disney Dining Plan snack credit — is such a fun and sweet treat for kids and for the kid in all of us!

It’s all in the name at Flame Tree Barbecue… at least, that’s how it seems at first. Flame Tree Barbecue You often smell the tempting fragrance of smoky barbecue on Discovery Island as it wafts from Flame Tree, drawing you in to enjoy some St. Louis Ribs, smoked chicken, or pulled pork (either in a sandwich or on top of some baked Mac and Cheese or French Fries!). But today, we’re talking about one of the non-BBQ items on the menu. In fact, we’re at Flame Tree for a sweet treat: the Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake. Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake The Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake ($5.99, or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit) has been considered a “seasonal” option. But this seasonal treat has been available for a few months now, and we figured it was high time to give it a try. Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake A vanilla cake base is topped with caramel buttercream, streusel crumbs, and a drizzle of salted caramel sauce, all topped off with a house-made apple chip. Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake The caramel buttercream, which is also packed with lots of cinnamon, is wonderfully flavorful. And the streusel crumbs lend some variety in the texture, along with a bit of buttery flavor. The vanilla cake base itself is filled with sweet apple pie filling Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake It’s a taste of fall in the middle of a hot summer’s day! Like I said, we figured it was finally time to try the Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake… and now I don’t know what took us so long. It’s one of the top Disney cupcakes out there, as it turns out! So, my advice? Don’t pass this one by the next time you’re passing through Discovery Island! Would you like to try the Salted Caramel Apple Crisp Cupcake? Please let us know with a comment!

We previously noticed the Harambe Market construction last month and we still aren’t sure what the purpose is. We’ll keep you posted as we find more news about this! Harambe Market Construction Harambe Market Construction At Zuri’s Sweets Shop we spotted the Pecan Maple Fudge we recently found in Magic Kingdom’s Big Top Treats!

Orange Blossom Cocktail The newest specialty Orange Blossom cocktail ($12.75) is a delicious mixture of Sauza tequila, Vanderhum, orange juice, and agave. It is a super refreshing drink to sip in the hot summer sun. Orange Blossom Specialty Cocktail Check out our full review of the Orange Blossom Cocktail here! In addition to introducing a new drink, the Dawa Bar has also changed its line location. Guests now line up on the outside of the seating area instead of directly in front of the bar. Dawa Bar Line What’s New in Animal Kingdom’s Asia In Animal Kingdom’s Asia section, we were so sad to see there are still no monkeys at Monkey Island. The signs are still displayed, though, so hopefully they will return soon! Monkey Island Monkey Island Sign What’s New in Animal Kingdom’s Shops and Stores – New Merchandise!

Grumpy Character Mug Ain’t that the truth? These mugs didn’t have price stickers, but the Cast Member we spoke with said they are $16.99 each. Also at Riverside Depot, we noticed some out-of-this-world Guardians of the Galaxy notebooks! These are modeled after the Awesome Mix tape and you can purchase one for $17.99! Guardians of the Galaxy Notebooks Guardians of the Galaxy Notebooks School may be out for the summer, but it’s never too early to stock up on supplies! Riverside Depot had a lot of great merch when we were there, including these Disney hats! New Disney Hats They are $27.99 apiece and feature Hei Hei, Orange Bird, and the Queen of Hearts! We like them all, but we particularly love the adorable Orange Bird hat! We ALSO found super cute Themed Headbands ($14.99) at Riverside Depot! Disney-themed Headbands These headbands are inspired by Mickey, Minnie, it’s a small world, and Haunted Mansion, and I’m pretty sure I need one of these ASAP. Disney-themed Headbands Disney-themed Headbands At Mombasa, Island Mercantile, AND Discovery Trading Company, we found the fun and colorful Special Edition Nala and Simba Plushes ($19.99). Special Edition Simba and Nala Plush For each plush sold, Disney will donate $5.00 to the Wildlife Conservation Network in support of the Lion Recovery Fund (and its local partners). Special Edition Simba and Nala Plush sign Learn more about the Special Edition Lion King Plushes here!

We have been on merchandise OVERLOAD lately with the release of new items like the Mickey bubble baton, the Imagination Pink collection, and the JUMBO Minnie bow. Disneyland Backpacks And today, we’re adding to the hefty new merch list with a few new and super fun backpack options. Now — before you ask — let’s clarify: these are NOT the same as the Loungefly backpacks we typically chat about — and they’re not going to require you to take out a second mortgage the way those Loungeflys (Loungeflies?) do! Instead, they’re just standard sized backpacks with really fun prints! REALLY. FUN. Srsly. Our favorite of these happens to be covered is Disney SNACKS! We’re talkin’ Dole Whip, Mickey premium bars, Mickey pretzels, donuts, churros…the works! Disney SNACK Backpack This backpack is simply a foodie’s dream. You can now show off your snack passion everywhere you go — Disney or otherwise. AND we can virtually guarantee you’ll have 50 people stop you to ask where you got it. (That may be a good or a bad thing, depending on your introvert tendencies.) Now, even if you don’t feel like wearing Mickey waffles on your back, that’s cool. There are plenty of other super cute themes to choose from. Mickey Backpack I love the crazy Mickey print on this one! Mickey Backpack Your little ones can both rock their favorite characters since one can get a Minnie backpack and another can get a Mickey backpack! Minnie Backpack Are you a Haunted Mansion lover like me? Then, you have to see the Mansion print backpack! It’s every hitchhiking ghost lover’s dream. (: Haunted Mansion Backpack Each of the backpacks are $29.99, so, a much cheaper alternative to the smaller Loungefly backpacks you’ll typically see throughout the parks, as we mentioned. These new styles can be found at Disney Clothiers as well as other merchandise shops throughout the park. We assume that they should be making their way to Disney World very soon.

Disney merchandise has been super on trend lately, with new collections like the Imagination Pink and Magic Mirror Metallic popping up just last week. Disney-themed Headbands There have also been a lot of new, fun options like the JUMBO Minnie Bow and the Dooney & Bourke Cat Collection. But, these new Disney-inspired headbands really have us hooked. The headbands are a much more casual option when it comes to Disney headwear. These are perfect for a day in the park, heading to the gym, or relaxing at home. Disney-themed Headbands The headbands are inspired by Disney characters like Mickey and Minnie along with beloved Disney attractions like it’s a small world and Haunted Mansion. Disney-themed Headbands The Minnie Mouse option even has a little bow — making it totally Minnie-approved. Disney-themed Headbands We have spotted these in Disneyland and Animal Kingdom for $13.00. Disney-themed Headbands Along with these new headbands, we also noticed some super cute hair tie options ($9.99) that we thought were worth mentioning.

Disneyland Annual Passholders should make a note to stop by AP Corner from June 20 to September 2, 2019 in Disney California Adventure to celebrate “The Lion King” and have a chance to purchase a unique musical sipper — the Ocarina Mug — while supplies last! Ocarina Mug ©Disney Walt Disney World guests may remember when this fun piece used to be available in Animal Kingdom. In addition to the beautiful design made to look like carvings, the Ocarina Mug boasts an Ocarina (wind flute) handle! Musical Tumbler You can see in Disney’s promotional photo that it looks like it will come with a music sheet. For reference, when the mug was sold in Animal Kingdom, it came with music sheet with instructions on how to play “it’s a small world” and “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King”! Ocarina handle This thing is seriously fun, and you can check it out here. For AP Corner, the mug will be available only while supplies last. Other fun at AP Corner will include a Lion King-themed photo backdrop, and Passholders will also receive a Lion King-themed keepsake button (also while supplies last).

Hey, food-lovin’ friends! If you know us, you know we are quite fond of Troubadour Tavern in Disneyland. We love stopping here to grab some delicious German food like a bratwurst sausage or stuffed potato. BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato Well, when stopping by on our most recent visit, we noticed a new-to-us menu addition that we got pretty excited about! The new BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato is somewhat akin to the bbq chicken stuffed potato that we saw a while back at Harbour Galley. We often find that these two locations switch menu items back and forth, so if you don’t find something previously on the menu at one location, you just might find it at the other. BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato The BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato ($8.49) is filled with BBQ chicken, butter, chipotle sour cream, and cilantro. BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato It’s got a great tangy yet mild BBQ sauce, plus a hint of smokiness from the chipotle mayo. We also enjoyed the size of the potato for the price, especially since the shredded chicken brings an added heartiness to the whole thing. Overall, we really enjoyed it! BBQ Chicken Stuffed Baked Potato You can use your Annual Passholder discount on this potato delight which will bring your spud’s price down to $7.78! And if you’re looking to grab a quick bite at this spot, make sure to check out our full Troubadour Tavern review. Do you have a favorite stuffed potato treat? Let us know in the comments below!

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar will celebrate its 4th anniversary this fall and it continues to be one of my favorite watering holes at Disney Springs. If you haven’t been, there’s never a bad time to visit. Walt Disney Imagineers did an incredible job creating this 1940s-era plane hangar filled with themed décor from ceiling to floor all based around fictional character, Jock Lindsey. Who is Jock Lindsey you ask? You’ll spot him in the film “Raiders of the Lost Ark” portrayed by Fred Sorenson who’s an actual airline pilot. Although Fred only appeared in the film for about a minute, his character inspired Imagineers to develop a whole lounge and menu dedicated to his global adventures with Indiana Jones. When I heard Fred was planning to spend his 70th birthday at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, I just had to meet the man who inspired one of my favorite spots at Disney Springs. I had the pleasure to chat with Fred this past weekend and ask him a few questions about his career and his thoughts on how the Imagineers captured his beloved character. Check it out! It’s been a while since you were in Raiders of the Lost Ark, but obviously, that was a huge part of your life. When you visit Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, does it bring you back to those days? “Yes! Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar represents the essence of what I’ve done and continue to do every day. I’m still an active pilot for a charter company and I also help deliver airplanes all over the world. That’s actually how I got the role of Jock Lindsey—I was helping the film crew look for a plane to use in movie and they also needed someone to help deliver and get it set up, then I was asked if I would be interested in portraying Jock Lindsey!” What’s your favorite item on the menu at Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar? “That’s a tough one—I’d have to say the Reggie’s Revenge cocktail.” Walt Disney Imagineers are known for their storytelling and attention to detail. Do you think they got it right with Jock Lindsey’s Hanger Bar? “They nailed it! The fact that it looks like exactly like an old airplane hangar and it’s located right on the water where you can hear the water and boats, it’s just perfect.” Do fans still recognize you? If so, what’s that like? “Sometimes. My favorite interactions with fans sometimes happen by accident. We’ll be talking about Indiana Jones and then I mention something like “Well you know, I was Jock Lindsey…” and they say “You mean…”Jock start the engine?!” It’s amazing how many fans remember that small scene.” You’ve had a full career and travel has been a big part of your life. When you travel to Disney Springs, what’s your favorite go-to spot? “I actually love just watching those amphicars at The BOATHOUSE! I almost bought one.” Of all the places you could have picked to celebrate your birthday, you came here – why was this spot the right choice for you and your guests? “I wanted to pick a venue that reflected 70 years of my life and Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar truly represents everything I enjoy about my life and the career I’m so passionate about.” Anything else you’d want to share with readers of the Disney Parks Blog? “I appreciate the fans so much. Jock Lindsey represents the idea of adventure and dreams and being able to bring that to others and see their faces light up is simply amazing. I would tell readers to never stop dreaming and taking adventures in life—you’ll never know what will happen!” View the full article
