Congrats to This Disney World Drink on Its Glow-Up

While visiting Disney’s Hollywood Studios today, we decided to grab an afternoon pick-me-up.

Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge 

We stopped at the Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge and noticed that a cocktail we had previously tried seemed like it had gotten a little glow-up, so we decided to investigate.

We tried the Hollywood Lights cocktail over the holidays last year, and it was a pretty eye-catching drink! But, could it be true that it’s gotten a little makeover? In the menu photo, it looked a much different color than we remembered.

Here’s the drink from last year, just for reference.

Hollywood Lights circa November 

While the ingredients appeared to be exactly the same, the picture on the menu still looked much more vibrant than the cocktail we remembered trying in November, so we decided to give it another taste today.

So, she’s pretty

At first glance, this drink does look different in comparison to the last time we tried it. We also noticed there was a pinker color — originally this cocktail was a lovely orange color, and now it’s giving us sunset vibes.

Gotta have that glow cube

We suspect this color change could be a result of adding more cranberry into the mix since there weren’t any actual ingredient changes. Plus, the drink still looked pinker than before once we took the glow cube out!

Definitely picture-worthy!

And by now we know what you’re thinking — how did it taste?? In our opinion, the drink tasted almost identical to the first time we tried it last year, though we suspect there may have been less pineapple flavor this time.

This is still a fairly sweet drink, and could be a good choice for those warm Florida nights. If you need us, we’ll be intensely scrutinizing other Disney snacks and drinks to see if they’ve changed at all 😂. Check back with us for more updates from Disney World!
