What’s New at Disney World Hotels: Chef Mickey’s Plushes and Key Lime Dole Whip!

When’s the last time you stayed in a Disney World hotel?!

Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Disney World hotels are almost like theme parks themselves — they have a ton of activities, entertainment, great food, and shopping! That’s why we visit the hotels often to check and see what’s new at each one. So let’s get on with the updates.

Grand Floridian Food Updates

Grand Cottage

The Grand Cottage, an Easter-themed pop-up shop, has arrived at the Grand Floridian, complete with an amazing chocolate Easter egg display, and loads of fun treats.

You can get a chocolate Easter egg full of jelly beans!

After its grand opening, we visited the Grand Cottage AGAIN to try out the Plant-Based Baby Chick Lemon Cupcake. The plant-based cupcake has a Lightly Lemon-flavored Buttercream on top and a Lemon Curd Filling. You know what? This cupcake was SUPER tasty — even the plant-based buttercream tasted great!

Our chick looks a little bit angry?

We grabbed this cupcake for $5.99 and we would totally eat it again!

Gasparilla Island Grill

Speaking of Easter treats, we tried the Peanut Butter Bunny Cookie at the Gasparilla Island Grill. It’s a Peanut Butter Cookie Cup with buttercream, sugar bunny, and spring sprinkles. We thought this treat was adorable, but…

Peanut Butter Bunny Cookie

…it was extremely dry and loaded with chopped peanuts, which did not work for us. If you want to try it for yourself, though, it’s $4.99.

Contemporary Merchandise Updates

Bayview Gifts

If you love Chef Mickey’s, you might want to take a deep breath because you can now get Chef Mickey and Minnie Plushes!!! These are plushes of Mickey and Minnie in the outfits they wear at the restaurant. Aren’t they AMAZING?

Aren’t they so CUTE?

You can grab these plushes for $24.99 each — we expect these might sell out quickly, so hurry on over to the Contemporary while they’re still around!

Old Key West Food Updates

Good’s Food to Go

Hold the phone — did you know you could get a Key Lime Swirl Dole Whip at Disney World? You can! You just have to head on over to Old Key West to find it! It’s vanilla soft serve and Key Lime Dole Whip swirled together with graham cracker crumbs sprinkled on top. Yes, it is as delicious as it sounds.

YUM!

We loved how the vanilla really balanced the tart taste of the Key Lime and this could be one of our favorite new Dole Whip snacks. Grab it now for $4.99.
