It’s fun to see celebrities that love Disney as much as we do!

From spotting John Stamos in the parks to watching the various performers during EPCOT’s Candlelight Processional during the holidays, it’s exciting when our favorite celebs share the same passion as us! And we can add another celebrity to that list! Grammy Award-winning recording artist Brandy is helping kickoff a year-long Disney celebration!

Brandy has recorded a song for The Walt Disney Company’s Ultimate Princess Celebration called “Starting Now!”

The celebration is a year-long event focusing on the kindness and courage Disney princesses inspire in people around the world. Disney is honoring the princesses through music, experiences, products, and a campaign to give back to children around the country!

Brandy starred as the title character in the Rodgers & Hammerstein’s Cinderella film, so she knows what it’s like to be in the shoes, or slippers, of a Disney Princess! “Starting Now” is available to stream online right now, and the lyrics are even inspired by classic Disney Princess songs!

The single was produced by Grammy Award nominee Oak Felder and written by Jason Mater, Jordan Powers, and Darren Criss. You can check out this video to see the behind-the-scenes of Brandy recording the anthem!

We think the song radiates girl power! The lyrics are a beautiful representation of how brave, heroic, and inspiring the Disney Princesses are. We’ll be playing the song on repeat all year long to celebrate!

Walt Disney World has a bunch of delicious desserts to offer all around the resort!

Some of our favorite sweet treats can be found over at Beaches & Cream Soda Shop at Disney’s Beach Club Resort! You can chow down on cookie fries or sip a root beer float, and the over-the-top milkshakes are super fun! But something was pretty different when we recently ordered a milkshake at Beaches & Cream — take a look!

We ordered the Mickey Confetti Shake from Beaches & Cream the other day, but can you tell what’s different about it?

Yeah, you can’t miss it, THEY’RE HUGE!! The shakes are currently being served in giant margarita glasses!

For reference, this is what the milkshake usually looks like.

The manager said they’ve had production delays with the jars they typically use for the milkshakes, but they hope to have them in a few weeks. She mentioned that no one has complained about the giant glass though!

Our server reassured us that we get the same amount of milkshake even though the containers are very different right now! To us though, it seemed like we got a little MORE than usual (which we won’t complain about)!

The specialty shakes are still $15, and the Mickey Confetti Shake we got today is made with a vanilla shake, whipped cream, rainbow sprinkles, and is topped with a Rainbow Confetti Cupcake. You also get to keep the souvenir cup the milkshake comes in, so if you want a Yacht & Beach Club margarita glass, now is the time to grab one of these shakes!

The jars the milkshakes usually come in are great, but we honestly don’t mind if these giant marg glasses stick around for a bit! Plus, the ginormous glass just SCREAMS “I’m on vacation!”

The milkshakes are still the perfect end to a meal at Beaches & Cream, or even a great meal on their own (we’re not judging)! If you head over to Beaches & Cream for a specialty shake soon, this is what you can expect to see!

While we wait for the new Chip ‘n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers film, we’re excited to be back at Gadget’s Go-Coaster in Disneyland Park. This junior coaster reopened with the rest of Disneyland with physical distancing measures. The queue for Gadget’s Go-Coaster has physical distancing markers to remind guests to stand six feet apart. Cast Members are loading every row of the attraction instead of leaving empty rows between parties. The queue is full of Rescue Rangers easter eggs. Guests were […]

If you’re on the hunt for unique drinks in Disney Springs, the Coca-Cola Store is the place to be! Once you arrive, head up to their Rooftop Bar for a variety of Coke-inspired cocktails.

Today, we stopped by to try one of their newest beverages: the Perfect Harmony Cocktail!

The Perfect Harmony Cocktail is part of the #Coke1971Collection, celebrating 50 years since Coca-Cola debuted their famous commercial about “singing in perfect harmony.” The drink is a mixture of Dry Gin, Orange Curacao Liqueur, Sweet Vermouth, Ginger Ale, and of course Coca-Cola. 

The drink is served in an adorable plastic cup that you get to keep with your purchase. The cup is decorated with fun illustrations like peace signs, suns, hearts, and other feel-good iconography.  There is a nonalcoholic version of this drink that also comes with the souvenir cup.

But did the ingredients sing in perfect harmony? Sort of, but not quite! While we definitely enjoyed this drink, we noticed the Gin flavor far more than any of the other ingredients — you really have to be into Gin to enjoy this beverage!

By contrast, we didn’t pick up much on the Orange or Coke flavors at all. The Ginger Ale was there, but it sat at the bottom so ya gotta stir it up! Overall, this is a fun cocktail with an even more fun cup!

Grab a cocktail for yourself to try on your next visit to Disney Springs! We’ll be back with even more of the latest food and drinks from around Disney World, so stay tuned for even more new discoveries!

The post Review! Did We Totally Dig This Groovy 70’s-Inspired Cocktail at Disney World? first appeared on the disney food blog.

We’ve tried a lot of super interesting snacks at Disney World.

We’re talking about fruity potato chips, a Bailey’s brownie sundae, fruit sushi, and more! But today, we tried TWO new snacks involving gelato, and one of them had a spider on it!

But we’ll get to the spider in a bit…

We popped into Vivoli il Gelato at Disney Springs and we noticed that the Burgerlato has officially made it on the menu! We recently learned that this new treat was coming to Disney Springs in honor of National Burger Day on May 28th, and we were excited to try it! Speaking of interesting snacks…this is a truffle brownie, cake batter gelato, strawberry sauce, and bacon inside an Italian doughnut for $11.

Interestingly enough, it doesn’t look as unique as it sounds. And the flavor is almost predominantly coming from the brownie, which is a very rich chocolate. Just after that, we could taste the donut (and this is an Italian donut, so it’s much lighter than a traditional American donut).

The strawberry sauce, though, gets lost when you get a bite of everything together, but if you can get a bite without any brownie, the sauce is quite good. It could probably use a little more of the strawberry sauce to balance out the flavors. The gelato is also great, but gets overpowered by the brownie and donut.

But what really caught our eye was a new menu item called the Scarlet Spider. It’s made with Cookies and Cream Gelato, Milk, Waffle Cone, Chocolate Sauce, Strawberry Sauce, Sprinkles, and Whipped Cream.

Like, we HAD to try it, right? It tastes like a cookies and cream milkshake, and well, we have no problem with that! The waffle cone also added a nice crunchy addition to the dessert.

Did we mention there’s a SPIDER on it?

By the way, the spider is NOT edible. It’s actually a spider ring!

And if you haven’t figured it out, the drink is an homage to Disney’s upcoming Black Widow movie! So pretty cool, right? It’s available now for $15. We’ll be back soon to try even more new stuff, so stay tuned!

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room has reopened at Disneyland Park with new health and safety measures. There is hand sanitizer available throughout the park, including at the entrance to Enchanted Tiki Room. The waiting area has markers on the ground and parties are instructed to stand on one. However, we found that it was difficult for larger parties to stay in the vicinity of their marker. Some of the distancing markers (which are beginning to peel) are in front of […]
