What’s your favorite Disneyworld Speciality Drinks?

June 21, 2010 by Chip 6 Comments

What better accompaniment to that Disney meal than a fantastic Disney Specialty Drink. Fruity, Creamy, Glowing, Sweet, Salty there is literally something for everyone. It would be impossible to list all the Disney Specialy drinks from all the Disney Resorts, Parks, and Shops, as Disney is constantly updating, changing and improving our choices.

What I plan on doing is highlighting some of the best I had while visiting the parks along with some of the all time classic Drinks that Disney has perfected over the years.

Lets dive right in.

10. Sci-Fi Dine in Milkshake – I honestly think the Sci-Fi makes one of the best milkshakes I have ever had. It goes perfectly with any of their meals and tastes even better at the Drive In watching movies.

9. Tequila – At Disneyworld? You are Crazy! La Cava del Tequila in Epcot’s Mexico Pavilion serves over 70 varieties of authentic tequila, from the simplest to the rarest.

8. Coca-Cola From Around the World – One of my favorite stops in Epcot is at Club Cool. I love tasting the different flavors of pop that is released throughout the world. Did I mention that it’s free too?

7. Lapu lapu – Who doesn’t like alcohol served in a pineapple? There are so many choices of specialty drinks to get at the Polynesian Resort. From the Backscratcher to the Pina Colova, just be sure to take Disney transportation back to your room.

6. Decadent Drinking Chocolate with Biscotti – My wife would be mad if I didn’t include a drink from Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop in Downtown Disney. If you love chocolate you will love this drink!

5. Magical Star Cocktail at The Wave in the Contemporary Resort. What is it? It’s X-fusion Organic Mango and Passion Fruit Liqueur, Parrot Bay Coconut Rum, Pineapple Juice, served with a souvenir Multicolored Glow Cube. Another choice for glowing drink would be the Glow-tini at the 50′s Prime Time Cafe. While both different in flavors they both have the Glowing ice cubes

4. Grey Goose Citron Slush or Grand Marnier Orange Slush – This was a tough call but since they are both from the France Kiosk in Epcot’s World Showcase I am going to count them as one.

3. Dole Whip Float – I love a Dole Whip Float. The Ice Cream, the pineapple juice. Just delicious. If I had to pick one cold drink at the parks to get it would be a Dole Whip Float. We spend many of our snack credits at Aloha Isle.

2. Pog Juice – This is a must for breakfast at Ohana’s or Kona Cafe. Give me some POG Juice and a Kona Coffee and I am set. I have made it outside the park and it is almost as good as what Ohana’s makes. So be sure to click on the link and try it out for your family. Speaking of Kona Coffee that leads me to the #1 Specialty Drink.

1. Kona Coffee French Press Pot – I love coffee. I drink it everyday. Hot or cold, over ice or in syrup format (shout out to my RI friends and turning me on to Coffee Syrup!) I can honestly say this is the best cup of coffee I have ever had. I know it says coffee for 2 but I always get a Press Pot for myself. Hands down best drink at WDW.

Top 10 Quick Bites in the Walt Disney World Theme Parks

June 17, 2010 by Chip 2 Comments

Great little top 10 list from Pam Brandon, Disney Parks Food Writer at Disney Park Blog:

We recently posted Top 10 favorite Walt Disney World restaurants and a reader asked for favorite quick-service restaurants. With four theme parks it’s not easy but we’re still sticking to Top 10. Forget hot dogs and hamburgers, here goes:

Sweet Potato Cart, Frontierland, Magic Kingdom. Vegans, vegetarians and carnivores love this filling snack that’s low fat and full of vitamins – and you can eat on the run. Sweet potatoes are seasonal, so if we don’t find them, we head to Columbia Harbour House for the Lighthouse Sandwich – hummus, broccoli slaw and tomatoes on whole-grain bread. Or we throw caution to the wind and order the restaurant’s fried shrimp platter.
Ditto for the veggie egg roll from the Egg Roll Wagon in Adventureland in the Magic Kingdom. Low fat, not so much. But satisfying and easy to eat when you’re dashing through the park.
Taco Salad, Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe, Frontierland, Magic Kingdom. Better than a burger and you can load up with jalapeños at the toppings bar.
Half slab of St. Louis Ribs, Flame Tree Barbecue, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. We’ve peeked in the kitchen to watch the chefs grill these tasty favorites – finger-lickin’ good.
Kung Pao Beef, Yak & Yeti counter service, Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Grab some chopsticks and dig in.
Pressed Tuscan deli sandwich with shaved smoked ham, smoked breast of turkey, provolone, Caesar dressing and Pesto marinated tomatoes on a Tuscan roll, served with apple slices or French fries at Studio Catering Company, Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Go for the fries.
Southwest salad with chicken, tortillas, black bean relish, avocado, and cilantro vinaigrette at Backlot Express, Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And since it’s relatively healthful, sometimes we sneak in a late-afternoon peanut butter and jelly shake at the bar at 50’s Prime Time Cafe.
Roasted Beets and Goat Cheese Salad with honey sherry dressing at Sunshine Seasons, The Land pavilion, Epcot. Plain delicious if you love beets. If not, go for the seared tuna salad with sesame-rice wine dressing.
Does a chocolate crepe count as a meal? We think so. Stop at the Crepes des Chefs de France kiosk in Epcot World Showcase.
Sit at the outdoor tables and people watch while you share a shawarma platter at Tangierine Cafe at the Morocco pavilion in Epcot World Showcase. Generous tastes of hummus, tabouleh, couscous salad and Moroccan bread. We suggest the chicken and lamb combo.

Walt Disney World Quick Bites – Fantasmic Lunches, ESPN Grill, and more

June 11, 2010 by Chip Leave a Comment

Here is our weekly Quick Bites Column from the Disney Parks Blog!

More World Cup . . . Raglan Road at Downtown Disney will open at 10 a.m. during the month of June to show the World Cup Soccer games with two 50-inch TV screens. They’ll serve a full Irish breakfast all day and offer happy hour drinks and food specials. We reported earlier than you can catch the matches at ESPN Club at Disney’s BoardWalk and ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill beginning June 11. ESPN Club will start serving at 10:30 a.m. for all early soccer game days June 11-29 and July 2 and 3. ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill will be offering a limited breakfast menu for the 7 a.m. game and lunch for the 10 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. games. Then, from June 26-July 10, ESPN Wide World of Sports Grill will offer a buffet with guaranteed seating to view the game. And on July 11, they’ll create a special viewing area. For reservations, call WDW-DINE beginning May 27.

Caramel Kitchen to open late September . . . the official name is Karamelle-Küche, German for “caramel kitchen,” and the new shop in the Germany pavilion at Epcot is themed like an Old World German caramel shop. A show kitchen will feature cast members making fresh caramel popcorn, caramel apples, caramel-covered strawberries and marshmallows. Werther’s Original candy will be on the shelves, and the shop also will include gourmet caramels, cookies, brownies, fudge and cupcakes. It’s the only free-standing retail location in the world for Storck, makers of Werther’s Original Caramels, and you’ll find some goodies on the shelves that you can’t find anywhere else. The shop replaces the Glas und Porzellan shop.

Fantasmic! lunch . . . The Fantasmic! dining packages now are available during lunch at The Hollywood Brown Derby and Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano. Just like the dinner packages, the lunch packages can be booked on all dates when Fantasmic! is scheduled and allow guests to arrive 30-45 minutes prior to the show time and enjoy designated seating. When there are two performances on the same night, the package is valid for the first performance only. Make reservations by calling (407) WDW-DINE or (407) 939-3463 up to 180 days in advance. Pick up your VIP voucher for Fantasmic! at the end of the meal.

Cordial cart . . . A beautiful wood cordial cart is now offering tableside after-dinner drinks at Artist Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge – the only Walt Disney World restaurant to feature the rolling libations. All sort of brandies and scotches are offered, but we were impressed to see the crème de la crème: Rémy Martin’s Louis the 13th cognac, officially registered as a brand in 1874. Sit back, sip and enjoy.
