REVIEW: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Is CROWDED Right Now, and This New Treat Explains Why

The holiday season is in FULL effect in Disney World. The decorations are OUT, the trees are lit, and the snacks and drinks are flowing.

Of course, our favorite part of this season IS the snacks, and there are a WHOLE lot of new ones to try this year — and the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays hasn’t even started yet and there will be even MORE snacks to try. However, we’re trying to make our way around Disney World hotels to check out those new holiday snacks, and we’ve got a sweet treat to tell you about at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.

OK, before we dive in, we should warn you: Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort is pretty crowded right now. Everyone is stopping by to try the fun holiday treats and admire the GORGEOUS holiday decorations, including the Gingerbread Display.

We headed over to Gasparilla Island Grill to try out something called the Let It Snow Cube. It’s a cube made with Almond-Praline Mousse, Confit Apricot, and Orange Chiffon for $6.49. There’s also a little Christmas tree on it.

So this thing has a LOT of flavors going on — sometimes Disney just tries to celebrate every flavor in one dessert, and this is the result. It can be overwhelming, though, because just the mousse alone has almond and praline flavors fighting it out. Even worse, they taste artificial, like you can taste the almond extract.

It’s cute!

The base of the cube is very orangey (it’s orange chiffon), but it’s also a little gummy and a touch dry. Then there’s the apricot filling above it that tastes like artificial apricot. But there isn’t enough of it — we think this flavor could’ve balanced out the whole if there had been more of it. Instead, you’ve got all these distinct flavors going to battle inside your mouth.

SO much going on

It’s not a BAD dessert, but it’s just…a lot, and we think there are better holiday snacks in Disney World. We probably wouldn’t get it again.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.
