Ready to visit some Disney World hotels?!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

We’ve been gathering the latest hotel news for ya all week, and now we’ve got LOTS of updates on food, merchandise, and more! Let’s get started.

Disney’s Art of Animation Resort Food Updates

The Drop Off Pool Bar

The Drop Off Pool Bar at Disney’s Art of Animation Resort serves up some of the most creative sips — and earlier this week, their limited-time June drinks debuted! We grabbed the Bacon and Bourbon Spiked Shake for $13. It’s a sweet ‘n’ salty vanilla bean milkshake with Jim Beam bourbon, topped with whipped cream and a piece of candied bacon!

You can also opt for the Seafoam Refresher! It’s $13 and made with Malibu Coconut Rum, Bols Blue Curacao, pineapple juice, and fresh pineapple.
