If you’re a Disney food aficionado then you’re probably very familiar with the famous DOLE Whip. But TRUE Disney experts also know to look for another delicious frozen treat when in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom — the Citrus Swirl.
A favorite even among Disney characters!
This much beloved treat features a mixture of Vanilla Soft Serve and Frozen Orange Juice Slushy. It’s tart, it’s sweet, it’s refreshing — and it’s themed to Orange Bird — what more could you want?! Well, if this snack was a staple item in your Disney World diet, you were likely VERY disappointed when it disappeared back in 2021. Recently, we were able to get a Citrus Swirl update, but it wasn’t exactly the news we wanted… . 
First, a quick recap. The Citrus Swirl has changed over the years. There have been some different formulas used over the years, but the OG formula (and the one that also came back to the park in 2012) is basically like frozen orange juice swirled with vanilla soft serve. Back in 2018, we saw it changed for an “Orange Swirl” that wasn’t quite the same. Things changed back to the way they were meant to be a few days later in 2018.
Back in July of 2020, we grabbed a Citrus Swirl — LOOK at that beauty! And we had it again in March of 2021 and May of 2021 (at which point we got in a very unique and fun way!).
Citrus Swirl
And then, the unspeakable happened. Around July of 2021, we noticed that the Citrus Swirl had gone MISSING.
It disappeared from Mobile Order and, at that time, we were told that the machines used for this delectable treat were down. The natural expectation was that the treat would return once the machines were back up and running. But then things got worse.
Citrus Swirl with Berry Blast
We checked again a few days later and noticed that the Citrus Swirl still wasn’t available on Mobile Order. The Cast Member we spoke with said “the product they use is on back order, and it’s still not available.” At the time, the Cast Member told us that they though the Citrus Swirl would be coming back soon. That’s good news right?!
Well, as you can tell, it’s been some time since July of 2021. This post is actually being written in February of 2022. And still, the Citrus Swirl has not returned to Sunshine Tree Terrace in Magic Kingdom. That’s right folks, we’ve been without our beloved Citrus Swirl for months now. Someone sound the alarms. 
This is a Citrus Swirl EMERGENCY.
Citrus Swirl Float
So recently we made our way over to Sunshine Tree Terrace to see if we could get an update. And we got one, but it wasn’t good news.
When we spoke to Cast Member at Sunshine Tree Terrace, they said that Disney has “discontinued” the Citrus Swirl. Not paused, not suspended, not temporarily put away — DISCONTINUED. We asked if they would be getting it back at some point and the Cast Member said not to their knowledge. Y’all. What is happening?!
Citrus Swirl in Orange Cone
As the Cast Member indicated, there isn’t anywhere else on Disney property where you can really get the Citrus Swirl right now (Sunshine Tree Terrace was truly its home). The Cast Member just continued to repeat the word “discontinued” when speaking with us, which wasn’t great.
BUT you do have to take this with a grain of salt. Our interaction was with just one Cast Member (and therefore just based on that one Cast Member’s knowledge) and things at Disney change constantly. You never know if or when the Citrus Swirl might just pop up (at least, we hope it does!).
Sunshine Tree Terrace
We’ll certainly be keeping an eye out for updates. In the meantime, you can still grab the DOLE Whip Orange soft-serve at Sunshine Tree Terrace , which is something we’ve seen offered here for quite some time. This is the version that sort-of replaced the Citrus Swirl for a tiny bit back in 2018. This version is much more sweet (since it is a soft-serve) and doesn’t have that same deliciously tart flavor that the Citrus Swirl had.

You can also get specialty floats here like the I Lava You Float (which we do love) or other unique items.

Still, it’s not the same as getting a Citrus Swirl. For OG Citrus Swirl fans, this is a serious blow. Like we mentioned, we’ll keep an eye out for updates and cross our fingers and toes that we hear some good news about this beloved treat soon.

The new “Steamboat Willie” collection by Dooney & Bourke is now available at Disneyland Resort. These black and white bags can be found in Disney Clothiers.
The bags are covered in film strip scenes from “Steamboat Willie,” including Mickey playing “Turkey in the Straw” on various implements, the steamboat itself chugging down the river, and the ship’s crane lifting Minnie onto the boat. There is a tote bag, mini backpack, and crossbody bag.
The bags have black handles and straps with red piping.
Each bag has a Mickey Mouse tag.
The tote has one large zip pocket and a small zip pocket on the side.
“Steamboat Willie” was the first appearance of both Mickey and Minnie Mouse.
There are some small pockets inside the tote, also. The lining is red.
The backpack has a small zip pocket on the front.
The zipper pulls are black with red piping.
The backpack straps are adjustable.
There’s also a small zip pocket on the back.
Like the tote, the lining is red.
The crossbody has a small zip pocket and a large zip pocket.
The crossbody is made to sit flat.
All three bags have golden Dooney & Bourke plaques.
Will you be carrying one of these three bags to celebrate the Mouse that started it all? Let us know in the comments.

There are all kinds of souvenirs at Disney World, from things you’ll use every day at home to items you’ll forget about for years until you finally clean out your closets (not speaking from personal experience or anything
).
So many things!
T-shirts, stuffed animals, purses, balloons, bubble wands…the list goes on and on. And now, a popular souvenir is BACK in Disney World!
Souvenir cups for Goofy’s Glaciers are BACK in Disney World!
They’re back!
We found them over at Big Top Treats in Magic Kingdom today. You can get it with a glacier inside for $10.99!
Take your cup home with ya
There are only 3 flavors to choose from right now, but you can mix them and layer them if you want! The options are Fruit Punch, Lemonade, and Powerade Mountain Berry Blast.
Which flavors are you mixing?!
We also saw these over at Zuri’s Sweets Shop in Animal Kingdom. Over here, you can add alcohol to your glacier, but you can’t get an alcoholic glacier in the souvenir cup. Disney won’t put alcohol in a cup with characters on it — so, you’ll have to be okay with a plain ol’ cup.
You can see the alcoholic options on the sign
You can also get these over at Candy Cauldron in Disney Springs. Here, you can add alcohol to your glaciers as well, but you still can’t get it in the souvenir cup.
They’re back over here, too!
So, happy slushy drinking! This is a fun souvenir that you can take home with you and use again and again to add a little Disney to your day. Stay tuned to DFB for more Disney merchandise news and updates!
