Cool Kids Summer is officially here, which means it’s time to dance, play, and most importantly, snack your way through Walt Disney World!

Sips from Outer Space to the Outback

Space Rangers of all ages have two stellar new galactic treats waiting for them at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Magic Kingdom. First up is the Zurg Overload Shake, a rich vanilla milkshake featuring a bright cherry coating, marshmallow whipped cream, sprinkles, and a signature chocolate piece. If you prefer something a bit more refreshing, the Space Ranger Float is a spectacular, vibrant swirl of lime DOLE Whip and vanilla soft-serve floating in Sprite and topped with green apple pearls. The sweet, tart combination of lime and green apple makes it an elite tier park refresher.

If your kids are obsessed with a certain famous Australian heeler family, the snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom are going to be a massive hit. You can head over to Eight Spoon Café or Pizzafari to grab Bluey’s Berry Lemonade, a frozen Minute Maid Lemonade packed to the brim with blueberry, blackberry, strawberry, and raspberry flavors. It is quite literally summer in a cup. While you’re hanging out at Pizzafari, you can also pick up the Wackadoo Fruit Freeze. This one is a frozen twist on Bluey’s beloved fruit salad, blended perfectly with Simply Fruit Punch and garnished with actual fresh fruit salad.

Over at EPCOT, you can take a breather between dance parties and stop by GRAB-N-GOOF for a total fan-favorite: Goofy’s Gone Fishing. This whimsical drink features a blue raspberry lemonade loaded with strawberry fruit juice-filled pearls and your choice of fun fish or shark gummy candies swimming inside.

Next-Level Theme Park Sweets

If you want to celebrate the summer with a playful, down-under inspired dessert, look no further than the Fairy Bread Cake at Pizzafari. This treat turns a classic Australian childhood staple into a vanilla birthday cake that is dipped in rich white chocolate, heavily coated in rainbow sprinkles, and served alongside a tart raspberry dipping sauce.

For something a little more mischievous and completely Goofy-approved, make your way back to GRAB-N-GOOF for the Gawrsh! Worms Everywhere Cake. This decadent little dessert is piled high with chocolate cake, smooth chocolate ganache, crunchy cookies and cream pieces, and plenty of gummy candy worms crawling out of the top. It’s messy, chocolaty, and belongs at the very top of your must-try checklist.

Savory Bites & Familiar Favorites

When you need a break from all the sugar and savory snacks are more your vibe, Disney has you covered with some heavy hitters. You can sink your teeth into the brand-new Chicken Goof-ups, which feature juicy, lightly breaded chicken breast bites paired with crispy fried cheese curds and a side of signature Goofy Sauce. If you are a cheese lover, you can double down with the Goof Troop Mac Snack, an ultra-satisfying order of fried macaroni and cheese bites served with warm marinara for dipping.

Don’t worry if you have some incredibly picky eaters in your crew, either. If you are just looking for comfort options that your kids already know and love, standard favorites like classic chicken strips, personal pizzas, gooey macaroni and cheese, golden fries, and fresh fruit cups are readily available in kitchens all across Walt Disney World properties. Make sure to snag a physical Cool Kids Summer map right when you walk into the parks to get a complete, easy-to-read list of all these go-to bites throughout your magical summer vacation!
