Cake, Pie, AND Cheesecake? In One Dessert? Disney World Went ALL OUT

You know what’s fun about Easter in Disney World?

Easter Bunny in Magic Kingdom

Well, the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival Egg-Stravaganza is a BLAST, but we also love seeing the Easter bunny on the day. However, the BEST part — and you know where we’re going with this — is the SNACKS. Because we are here for all the bunny butts and carrot-inspired treats! Now there’s a NEW Easter treat to try!

Meet the Carrot Cake Cheesecake Tart for $6.99, which has Carrot Cake in a pie shell on the bottom and then Pineapple and Vanilla Cheesecake on top. It’s like our favorite snacks — carrot cake, pie, AND cheesecake — have been combined into one delicious treat! We will point out that the orange color looks a little off, but, please, don’t let that deter you.

It’s very orange, though

This is because this baby is the epitome of DELICIOUSNESS. The carrot cake in the pie shell was moist and rich. The crust was soft and flakey. There was a delicate and creamy texture to the cheesecake. There was just something about the combination of flavors combined with the pineapple that just worked so well.

DELICIOUS

Even so, these flavors almost made us think of fall, but the pineapple added a lot of brightness to the snack, making it great for a hot spring day in Florida.

A peek inside

If you’re looking to try this snack for yourself, it’s available at The Mara at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge through April 9th. If you’re looking to try even MORE Easter snacks, be sure to check out ALL our reviews of the Easter treats in Disney World!

WE KNOW – there are SO many great snacks at Disney World! How do you choose (we don’t want to choose but will blow our budget on Day 1 otherwise)? We’ve got you covered! We have reviewed nearly EVERY snack available at Disney World, and we’ve written a series of DFB Guides about them!

ALERT! Tomorrow Is the LAST DAY To Book This Disney World Deal

We don’t know about you, but our Disney trips revolve around food!

We love Disney food!

While some guests might be waiting for the return of the Disney Dining Plan, there is still one way to save on dining for your Disney vacation. The Disney Dining Promo Card is a new offer this year for guests who book a minimum 5-night stay at a Disney World Resort with at least 4 days of tickets. But hurry, because this deal is ending tomorrow!

So what is the Disney Dining Promo Card? The Dining Promo Card is basically a gift card that you can use at select Disney World restaurants. If you have a qualifying Disney hotel reservation, you’ll receive the promo card in your email once you check into your reservation. The card’s value depends on your vacation arrival date, how long you’re staying at the hotel, and which hotel you choose.

Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort lobby

The offer is good for up to a $750 Dining Promo Card. Here are the values based on travel dates and resorts:

  • At value resorts — $35 per night if your arrival date is between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $50 per night if your arrival date is between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th
  • At moderate resorts — $75 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $100 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th
  • At deluxe resorts — $125 per night if your arrival date falls between June 25th and June 30th or July 11th and the 31st, and $150 per night if your arrival date falls between July 1st and the 10th or August 1st and September 14th

Food from Capt. Cook’s at Disney World

You must book at least a 4-night stay, which means the gift cards start at $140 total for value resorts, $300 total for moderate resorts, and $500 total for deluxe resorts. Remember, you get one gift card per ROOM, not per person.

To book the promotion, it’s basically the same as booking a Disney World Resort Hotel. You’ll need to visit the Dining Promo Card Special Offer page and click “Check Availability.” From there, you’ll need to select which dates you want to book your trip — of course, be sure to select dates within the promotion and hit the 4-night minimum. Once you select your hotel choice,  The Promo Card offer should automatically be selected, but if it isn’t, you can click on it. The rest is exactly like booking a typical Disney vacation, choosing room type, the number of park days, and adding in magical extras.

Again, this deal ends on March 27th so you will want to hurry! You can book the promotion yourself through Disney or through a travel agent.

Pop Century Dining!

What’s New at Magic Kingdom: The 50th Anniversary Is Disappearing!

We’re heading back into Magic Kingdom because there’s a LOT happening in this park.

Magic Kingdom

Love the new sign!

A new TRON experience is coming here soon — learn more about it here!

Adventureland

Lastly, we noticed some touch-up painting happening on one side of the Adventureland bridge. Didn’t seem like a major change, but definitely keep an eye on the wet paint signs at Disney World so you don’t accidentally bump into it!

Painting time!

And that’s all the construction updates from Magic Kingdom!

Magic Kingdom Miscellaneous Updates

50th Anniversary

We know that the 50th Anniversary is ending soon (on March 31st to be exact), which means that lots of the decorations themed to it are disappearing. We noticed this past week that some of the 50th Anniversary banners have been taken down from light posts in the park.

The banners are gone!

We also noticed a pressed penny machine with 50th Anniversary designs with a sticker saying it’ll be taken away soon.

Grab them while you can!

While we’re sad to see them go, it’s been a great 18-month celebration.

Will Cinderella Castle Go Back to Its Original Colors After the 50th Anniversary?

And that’s everything new in Magic Kingdom! As always, be sure to stay tuned to DFB for all the latest Disney news.

Bright Paint Job Continues on Transformers: The Ride Façade at Universal Studios Florida

A teal color scheme is being incorporated across the building housing Transformers: The Ride at Universal Studios Florida. We previously reported first spotting blue stripes Thursday on the side directly behind construction for the new Minion Café in Production Central — soon to be transformed into a Minions-dedicated land.

Color Transformation at Transformers

transformersblue4

We assume the painting is related to the new Minion Cafe and will not over other sections of the building not facing the “new” land.

transformersblue5
transformersblue2

Starting off as a mere few stripes, it seems the entirety of the building may in fact be receiving a new coat of paint.

transformersblue1

Roughly half of the Minions Café-facing wall is now teal.

The Supply Vault portion of the façade remains unchanged on the approach to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
