We LOVE finding new sweet treats in Disney World. Salt & Straw We just heard of one that is coming soon and… our mouths are already watering. This dessert is nothing short of a monster (in the best way) and is a collaboration with someone that you may not have expected. Salt & Straw announced that they’ll now be selling ICE CREAM CAKES! You can find this masterful creation available for catering at Salt & Straw beginning on November 17th. This massive dessert is an ice cream cake made in collaboration with none other than Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson — more specifically, his holiday alter ego, Dwanta! It’s The Rock! That’s right, y’all. We get not one, but TWO ice cream cakes inspired by Dwanta’s favorite cheat meals. These two ice cream cakes are massive! Each being 7 layers, they can easily be cut into 20 generous portions to share (or eat them all yourself, we don’t judge). ©Salt & Straw The two ice cream cakes have very distinct flavor profiles. One is titled “Naughty,” and the other is titled “Nice”– which is perfect for the holiday season! ©Salt & Straw The “Naughty” ice cream cake sounds like a dream. With Coffee-spiked chocolate cake, dark-burned caramel chocolate fudge, whiskey caramel ice cream, peanut butter chocolate chip cookie dough, and crunchy chocolate-peanut butter puff topping, this will please any crowd with a sweet tooth. ©Salt & Straw On the other hand, the “Nice” ice cream cake is based off of Dwanta’s all-time favorite cheat meal. It showcases Coconut cake, Oregon marionberry jam, bananas foster ice cream, peanut butter chocolate ganache, and a coconut streusel topping. Now, we can’t quite put our finger on what meal this is exactly, but we’re not complaining. ©Salt & Straw These flavors do nothing short of make our mouths water and wish we got our hands on one during the pre-sale, which has unfortunately sold out. However, we’ll be keeping an eye on the Salt & Straw website for a restock! ©Salt & Straw Not only can these cakes feed a crowd, but the box also comes apart to be used as a serving tray!

There are lots of traditional holiday eats that we love, but now we’re going to a festival booth that’s adding a little TWIST! A Twist on Tradition Booth It’s officially time for the 2023 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays! This festival lasts from now through January 7th, 2024, and it brings lots of tasty eats and drinks to the park. Wondering just what you can eat at the Twist on Tradition booth? Well, we’ve checked it out and now we’re sharing our FULL thoughts. Menu Over at the Twist on Tradition booth, you’ll find a variety of available items. The menu includes one mac and cheese dish and a couple of drinks, including a brand-new margarita. A Twist on Tradition Menu 2023 Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed Savory Kugel Mac & Cheese with herb breadcrumbs, sour cream, and chives. This new snack costs $8.50. So creamy! This mac & cheese dish is SO creamy! That sour cream is definitely giving it an extra creamy boost. It’s very rich and savory. And the chives aren’t just for looks; they add a nice accent to the cheesy flavor. Cheesy and Chivey! Drinks There’s one returning drink and one new one this year. The new drink is the Glacier Margarita, which is made with blanco tequila, blue curaçao, coconut and rosemary syrups, and white cranberry and lime juices garnished with champagne bubbles candy. It costs $16. This is a fun drink! This fun alcoholic drink is very sweet and fruity! The rosemary syrup was not a big part of this drink, we didn’t notice it at all. The flavors at the forefront of this margarita are the coconut and lime. And the fun “champagne” bubbles candy are actually little gumdrops. We love how photogenic it is and we would consider this one of the best of the fest! This drink takes beautiful pictures! The returning drink is the Guava-Melon Lassi, which we LOVED last year! This is a non-alcoholic drink made with guava nectar, rock melon syrup, yogurt, and honey garnished with cinnamon whipped cream and honey-flavored cereal. It costs $7.50. Guava Melon Lassi from 2022 Last year, we thought that the melon and guava flavors were deliciously sweet, while the yogurt and cinnamon whipped cream cut through the sweetness and added a great depth of flavor. OVERALL We would highly recommend this booth! From the mac & cheese to one of our best of the fest picks –the Glacier Margarita– we would wait in line at this booth, for sure. If you don’t care for sweet drinks or rich meals, then this might not be your jam. But both of those things sound great to you, stop by this booth to give it a try.

It’s that time of year again, friends — the holidays are here! Hollywood Studios That means there are tons of decorations to admire at all the parks, holiday snacks and merchandise have arrived, and holiday parties are starting. But it also means that one of our favorite projects returns — the Contemporary Resort Gingerbread Display is now OPEN for guests to admire and buy treats! That’s right, the massive gingerbread display is complete and ready for business. We were there on opening morning to check it out! Gingerbread Display This is a yearly tradition put on by many of Disney World’s hotels where guests can admire gigantic gingerbread houses (made entirely out of gingerbread!) and even buy treats from the shop inside. The details This is the 12th year of the display and the stunning Cinderella Castle look-alike features 12 hidden Mickeys, along with two large Mickey and Minnie sculptures. It’s a Mary Blair-inspired design, which is very fitting for the Contemporary! There’s a hidden Mickey way up at the top! Along with the opening of the gingerbread display, you can grab some special treats and some unique merchandise! Next to the registers, we spotted these Contemporary gingerbread display ornaments and pins. Ornaments and pins If you’re in the mood for some snacks, there are quite a few choices! They’ve got classic choices like Peppermint Bark and gingerbread cookies, as well as more unique treats and a few that are exclusive to the Contemporary. Peppermint Bark The Five-Legged Goat Sugar Cookie is a classic nod to a Contemporary icon… Five-Legged Goat Sugar Cookie …or you could go for something fancier and snag the Hot Chocolate Caramel Fudge Bar! Hot Chocolate Caramel Fudge Bar And of course, they have a selection of gingerbread shingles if you’re a traditionalist. There’s a little something for everyone!

Well, we got a nice surprise today, and that surprise was all about FOOD! 2023 Grandma’s Recipes Booth The 2023 Disney California Adventure Festival of the Holidays has officially started and we are checking EVERYTHING out, including the entertainment, the food (of course!), and more! Now we are READY to dive into some delicious food and drinks, so let’s head on over to Grandma’s Recipes to order up some grub! Menu Over at the Grandma’s Recipes booth, you’ll find food and drinks inspired by things your Grandma might make. There’s one food item here this year that’s new plus some wines and a brand new cocktail to try. 2023 Grandma’s Recipes Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the Barbacoa Tamal de Res with Oaxaca cheese, tomatillo salsa, and crema for $9, which is new this year. Barbacoa Tamal de Res This had SUCH a good flavor — we loved the tomatillo salsa verde. It was fresh and spicy but had a mild spice level overall. The masa shell isn’t dry at all — it was moist and was a nice complement to the beef inside. And there was a lot of it! Our only complaint is that it was a little cold, but other than that — this was a hit. We need to know where this grandma is so we can personally thank her and give her a hug. SO GOOD Okay, well, now we have to get something to wash it all down with, right? Let’s look at drinks! Drinks As we mentioned, there’s a new cocktail available here that we HAD to try. It’s the Berry Pomegranate Paloma for $16. It’s made with Blanco Tequila, blueberry purée, lime, cranberry, and pomegranate juices, and agave syrup topped with fresca mixed vodka spritz and garnished with an orange wheel and chile lime seasoned rim. This was also a hit — it reminded us of a berry sangria! We loved the addition of the Tajin-seasoned rim. It was really fruity, but we didn’t get much blueberry flavor. It was heavier on the lime and cranberry. We’d definitely get this one again. Berry Pomegranate Paloma We also ordered the Winter Wineries Flight for $17. You get three wines, including Wither Hills Sauvignon Blanc, which you can also order separately for $13. Nothing really stood out to us in this flight. The sparkling rose was our favorite — it was sweet while still being dry. The cabernet was your typical flavor profile — fruity and dry. Winter Wineries Flight The Sebastiani Cabernet Sauvignon is also available to be ordered separately for $14. Finally, the McBride Sisters Sparkling Brut Rosé can be ordered separately for $14. So, what’s the verdict overall? OVERALL If you’re looking for a bit of spice and flavor, we’d recommend stopping by this booth to grab the tamal and the Paloma! Other than that, though, we think you can find more exciting finds and foods elsewhere. Grandma’s Recipes Spread That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!

It’s TIME!!!! Yes, the holidays have arrived at Disney California Adventure and we are THERE. 2023 Winter Sliderland Booth The 2023 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays has officially kicked off and we’re checking out EVERYTHING. You’ll be able to visit the festival from now through January 7th, 2024, to enjoy some amazing food and drinks, check out some holiday entertainment, and more! We’re going to focus on food right now, though, because we’re heading over to the Winter Sliderland booth. Menu If you haven’t figured it out, the Winter Sliderland booth is ALL about sliders. This year will have one brand NEW slider, plus a returning one. Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First up, we grabbed the Togarashi Karaage Chicken Slider with furikake mayo slaw on a Hawaiian roll for $9. This is a brand-new item this year, so we couldn’t wait to try it out. We’re going to warn you now — this is not going to be something everyone will like. Furikake, which is a condiment that includes dried fish and seaweed, is an acquired taste. This sandwich is also moderately spicy and might be TOO spicy for a lot of folks, too. Togarashi Karaage Chicken Slider With the warnings aside, though, we liked the heat and the crispy chicken. It is an overwhelming flavor, though, and the chicken’s flavors overpower the Hawaiian roll. The cucumber also cuts through the fishy taste of the furikake. We’d say it reminded us of what fried chicken sushi might taste like. But there was still something about the sandwich as a whole that seemed off to us, and we’re not sure we’d get it again. We’re still not sure about it You can also get the returning Beef Brisket Slider with smoked onions and horseradish ketchup on a pretzel roll for $9. We tried this last year and it was a bit of a “swing and a miss” for us. This year, though, we thought the brisket was hearty and packed with flavor. Beef Brisket Slider The horseradish ketchup is light with a slight kick (so be warned) and gives the brisket a more barbecued flavor. The pretzel bun, though, is the real star here, as it was for us last year. We are a little biased, though — a pretzel bun is always going to elevate a snack for us. The bun steals the show We will say that you do need to enjoy smoked meat and a lot of flavors to really appreciate this slider. Drinks In terms of drinks on this menu, there’s just one available here and it’s new this year. The Spiced Pear Mule for $16 is made with Pear vodka, gin, apricot liqueur, house-made spice syrup, pear nectar, and lemon juice garnished with a white orchid. This one is DANGEROUS because you can barely taste the alcohol. It’s very light and refreshing and tastes almost like a Vitamin Water but without the artificial flavors. Spiced Pear Mule This drink also has a subtle floral aroma and some hints of lime. The pear and spice flavors come through the most with a citrusy aftertaste. We will say we’re not sure it’s worth $16, especially since you can drink it like water and it goes down smoothly. This is one for those who love light and fruity cocktails. OVERALL As far as the sliders go, we’d skip the Togarashi Karaage Chicken Slider (unless you’re feeling really adventurous) and go for the Beef Brisket Slider if we visit this food booth again. It’s a solid slider that we’d certainly return for. We also liked the Spiced Pear Mule, especially if you’re looking for a light fruity cocktail that’s perfect for a warmer day.

Planning a Disney World vacation can be complicated. Cinderella Castle If you’ve ever done it, you know that it can involve a LOT of thinking ahead. Not only do you need to make your dining reservations 60 days before your trip, but you also still need to make park pass reservations ahead of time, too — if you don’t, you might discover you can’t visit certain parks on the days you want. If you’re visiting Disney World this weekend, you might find some parks with NO park pass reservations available. So it looks like it’s going to be a VERY busy weekend in Disney World over the next few days. When we were looking at park pass availability, we noticed that EPCOT is completely sold out of park pass reservations for today, November 10th, for Disney World hotel guests… ©Disney …and ticket holders. This means that if you did NOT make a park pass reservation for EPCOT today and you fall into one of those two categories, you cannot visit the park today. Note that Magic Kingdom, Disney’s Animal Kingdom, and Disney’s Hollywood Studios still have availability. ©Disney But we also discovered something else when we checked park pass reservations for Disney World Annual Passholders. Magic Kingdom is completely full today THROUGH the weekend, November 10th-12th. So if you want to go to Magic Kingdom this weekend and do NOT have park pass reservations, you are out of luck. ©Disney This is why we always advise making those park pass reservations as soon as you can finalize your plans. This is especially important now going into the holiday season when we expect to see more days fill up quickly. The good news is that as of January 9th, 2024, most Disney World visitors will NOT have to make park pass reservations if they have date-based tickets. If you’re still hoping to get into Magic Kingdom or EPCOT soon, keep an eye on those park pass reservations — sometimes Disney will add more reservation availability later on. EPCOT We’ll continue to keep an eye on park pass reservations through the holidays, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

It’s Festival of Holidays time in Disneyland, and we couldn’t be more excited! 2023 Making Spirits Bright Booth The 2023 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays starts now and runs through January 7th, 2024, There are so many tasty eats and drinks to try that it can be tough to narrow down exactly which ones you should have on your list. Come with us to the Making Spirits Bright booth to find out if this one is worth a visit! Menu Over at the Making Spirits Bright booth, you’ll find a variety of available items, including some IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Curry Bites, a pumpkin-flavored cheesecake, and a couple of drinks. 2023 Making Spirits Bright Menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Eats First, we grabbed the IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Curry Bites with lemon raita and coriander chutney. These cost $7.50. We’re big believers that sauces can make or break a dish, and in this case — they were the stars of the show. The nuggets had a good flavor thanks to the curry, but the texture is a little strange if you’re not used to eating meat substitutes. The curry flavor is strong and enjoyable if you like that flavor, we just wish these were actual chicken nuggets! IMPOSSIBLE Chicken Curry Bites Then it was time for dessert! We got the Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake for $6.50. This is layers of New York-style cheesecake, pumpkin gooey cake, and graham cracker topped with spiced Chantilly and a chocolate decoration. Pumpkin Layered Cheesecake This was REALLY good — we loved this one. It might be a Best of the Fest dessert for us! It was incredibly creamy and the pumpkin spice flavor wasn’t too overpowering; it was nice and balanced. YUM Onto the drinks! Drinks To drink, we grabbed the returning Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail, which is made with vodka, hazelnut liqueur, oat milk, tiramisu syrup, and chocolate bitters garnished with chocolate shavings. You can get one for $17. Last year, we thought this drink was like Christmas in a cup. It had just a hint of chocolate, and all the flavors mixed well together. We decided that our ideal situation would be to be sipping on this tasty cocktail in front of a warm fire while it’s snowing outside. So is it still just as good in 2023? Y’all, this was SO good. We were surprised by how much we liked it! It’s minty and creamy and really unique. We did taste a bit of the alcohol on the back end, and the texture reminded us of a White Russian thanks to the oat milk. This was a really interesting cocktail and one we’d get again — maybe as dessert! Tiramisu Yule Log Cocktail Next, we got the new drink! This is the Chocolate Mint Stout Shake for $16. It’s made with Garage Brewing Marshmallow Milk Stout, coffee liqueur, crème de menthe, horchata cream liqueur, vanilla ice cream, and chocolate syrup garnished with cookie crumbles. This one definitely tasted like beer in a milkshake — but the coffee and mint flavors are definitely the most prominent. It was thick and creamy thanks to all the creamy liqueurs and ice cream. We didn’t get much of a marshmallow flavor with this one, and we have to admit a lot was going on. It was interesting but probably not something we’d get again. Chocolate Mint Stout Shake Is this booth worth a visit? OVERALL We definitely recommend stopping by this booth for the eats — but the drinks aren’t too bad either! We like the Yule Log cocktail the best, and that Pumpkin Cheesecake is worth a stop alone! Making Spirits Bright Spread That’s it for this booth, but there’s a LOT more where that came from!

Okay, we know a lot of you out there are Bluey fans or have kids who are Bluey fans, so we’ve got some big news to share. ©Bluey.tv So we bet you’re not surprised that Bluey is one of the most-watched shows on Disney+. We’ve already told you about how a Bluey video game will be released on November 17th (yes, mark those calendars).

A NEW special extended 28-minute episode of Bluey will premiere on Disney+ SOON.

You won’t have to wait very long for the new episode either: it’s coming in 2024. ©Disney So be sure to keep an eye out for an official premiere date — we’ll let you know as soon as Disney announces it.

With our name being Disney Food Blog, you can bet we’ve seen and tried MANY Disney snacks over the years. Sunshine Tree Terrace And just like always, we’re here to give you our unbiased opinion, whether it be good or bad. We’ll admit that while we’ve had plenty of snacks recently that we’ve loved, we’ve also had a few that eating them ever again will be too soon. These are two snacks that our team NEVER wants to eat again. Powerade Float with Chocolate Soft Serve Yes, we also cringed just reading that title, but the truth is, we’ve tried it. A few months ago for an “experiment,” one of our reporters got the Powerade Mountain Berry Blast Float from Sunshine Tree Terrace, which comes with your choice of Dole Whip or soft serve ice cream. To make the grossest combination possible, we got Powerade with chocolate soft serve. What were we thinking? As you can imagine, this was a TERRIBLE combination. The fruit flavor of the Powerade did NOT mix well with the chocolate, and it was overall a disaster. So yeah, zero stars, do not recommend it. Read our full review here! Cinnamon Roll From Main Street Bakery This one might be controversial, but hear us out. If you like dry, crusty cinnamon rolls that you’ve paid $7 for, we guess the Mickey-Shaped Cinnamon Roll from the Main Street Bakery is okay — you know what, we can’t even fake it. PLEASE don’t get this cinnamon roll. All we did was love you, Mickey cinnamon roll It’s not even just that this cinnamon roll is bad. What makes it even worse is that there’s a MUCH better option available that so many people forget about! There’s a FANTASTIC cinnamon roll just over at Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland. That massive cinnamon roll is gooey, delicious, warm — everything a cinnamon roll should be. Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll Yes, just like all Disney food, it has its off days sometimes, but we’ve very rarely run into that, whereas the cinnamon roll from Main Street Bakery has never been good to us.

The Disney World gingerbread displays are an iconic part of the holiday celebration at the resort. 2023 Grand Floridian Gingerbread House All around the property at several hotels, you can find life-sized gingerbread displays. From the most iconic display– the gingerbread house at Disney’s Grand Floridian –to the baby giraffe and baby zebra at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, there’s so much to see! These displays add a warm, cozy, Christmas ambiance to each location they’re in. This year, an all-new gingerbread display will be joining the group and construction has started! Each year at Disney’s Beach Club Resort, you can find an in-motion gingerbread carousel with all new themes every year. This year, the Beach Club’s sister resort, Disney’s Yacht Club is joining in on the gingerbread fun by bringing to life an exact, scaled, replica of the lighthouse on Crescent Lake! Construction has begun! The lighthouse, fully composed of gingerbread, stands nearly two people tall! As you can see, it takes a couple of ladders to ensure this fun display comes to life. So tall! It is being built next to their Christmas Village, which makes for a very pretty Christmas view! So much joy in one picture! The train that roams around the Christmas Village is set to depart at scheduled times throughout the day. Be sure to stop by to see the full effect! Train departures Usually, at each gingerbread display, there is a Holiday Pop-Up Shop that goes along with it where you can purchase gingerbread and other holiday treats. While the lighthouse was set to have a pop-up shop with a new lighthouse fudge (which is available at the Beach Club), a Cast Member mentioned that it would not be opening due to staffing issues. So we’re not 100% sure what will happen; we’ll have to wait and see as the season goes on! It’s going to be so cool! We look forward to seeing the completed display for its Disney World debut! Usually, these take about two to three days to be completed, so we’ll be keeping our eye out. In the meantime, keep following DFB!

Popcorn buckets are a THING, and yes, we’re really into that thing. Popcorn Cart in Magic Kingdom Disney just keeps dropping some really good ones and we’re almost always going to end up buying them. For example, we just recently got the Holiday Musical Tin Popcorn Bucket — and we have no regrets. We also can’t wait to get our hands on the Mickey Toy Soldier Popcorn Bucket. For Halloween, we added the new Nightmare Before Christmas Popcorn Bucket to our collection. Well, now a NEW popcorn bucket is coming soon, and WE NEED IT. In celebration of Disney’s new animated movie Wish releasing soon, a new popcorn bucket of the character Valentino from that movie is coming soon. Valentino is a goat who can talk thanks to magic — of course! Can we also note that the character is voiced by the always-awesome Alan Tudyk (AKA Hei Hei from Moana). ©Disney See that sipper beside it? That Star Sipper will also be available soon. Isn’t it adorable? The star is also a character in the movie. If you want to get your hands on these souvenirs, they’ll be available on November 22nd at Disneyland (which is the day the movie debuts), and soon at Disney World! Star Wish follows the story of a young girl, Asha, who seems to be the only person aware that King Magnifico, who grants the wishes of the kingdom of Rosas, isn’t as nice as he seems. She calls out to the stars to guide her, but one star comes down to join her with its own power to grant wishes. ©Disney So keep an eye out for these new souvenirs.

Walt Disney, a name synonymous with creativity, imagination, and innovation, had a profound vision that extended far beyond the enchanting tales of animated characters. While he is best known for the creation of Mickey Mouse, this man’s dreams culminated in the concept of EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow. For a devoted fan of […] The post History of EPCOT: Walt’s Original Vision That Never Came to Be appeared first on Military Disney Tips Blog. View the full article

Let’s go try a NEW treat at Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! There’s a lot to do at this holiday party, like watch the parade, view the holiday fireworks show, and get free cookies and hot cocoa around Magic Kingdom. But right now there’s a specialty treat that’s caught our eye, and we’re heading to Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Café to try it out. Over at Pecos Bill, there are a few exclusive treats available during the holiday party. Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe These items are ONLY available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party: Chicken Tamale served “Christmas-style” with mild red chile and green chile-pumpkin seed sauces, cilantro rice, pinto beans, and queso fresco (Available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party only) Chocolate Eggnog Reindeer: Chocolate tart topped with eggnog mousse and chocolate antlers (New) (Available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party only) Orange-Cranberry Pineapple Punch with a hint of “smoke” from the fireplace (Non-alcoholic beverage) (New) (Available during Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party only) Right now, though, we’re just trying one thing: DESSERT! Let’s grab that Chocolate Eggnog Reindeer. This treat is a chocolate tart topped with eggnog mousse and chocolate antlers, and it costs $6.99. This little reindeer is the cutest! If you’re not an eggnog fan, just know right off the bat that when they call this an eggnog dessert they mean it. The eggnog mousse definitely tastes like eggnog. But it goes really well with the thick and rich chocolate tart it sets on top of. We would consider the chocolate more of a dark chocolate; it’s more bitter than it is sweet. It’s fluffy! The mousse is light and fluffy, giving us an almost gelatinous feel. If you like dark chocolate and/or eggnog then you definitely need to head to Pecos Bill to get your own!
