Butterfinger Cupcake Returns to Trolley Car Cafe

Butterfinger Cupcake Returns to Trolley Car Cafe. I’m happy to say this is no joke!

Disney Foodies rejoice! The Butterfinger Cupcake has returned and is currently avialable at the Trolley Car Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

As a huge fan of the Disney Parks Cupcakes I was so excited to hear these were back! They can even be carried around the park in a covered container! I would not put this one into your bag of choice while traversing Hollywood Studios though, just a fair bit of warning.

Let’s take a closer look at the butterfinger cupcake! This chocolate and butterscotch flavored treat looks positively mouthwatering. I’m not sure if I should eat the chunk of candy first or last. How could I choose???

This chocolate sauce filled chocolate cupcake is topped with a peanut butter flavored buttercream frosting, dipped in chocolate, and rolled in crushed up Butterfinger candy bits. And O. M. Goodness, is it amazing!

Be sure to get a Butterfinger Cupcake from Trolley Car Cafe before they dissappear again!

Joffrey’s Mini Donuts Now Avaiable at Magic Kingdom

April 1, 2019

Nom, nom, nom. What could possibly be better than one big donut for those who love the round sweet treats? For this donut lover, the answer is easy, four bite-size poppable breakfast favorites. For those who crave donuts, but also like variety an option is now available at Magic Kingdom Park. Joffrey’s Coffe and Tea Company in Tomorrowland now has four packs of these darling two (or maybe three) bite donuts available for purchase.

These miniature donut versions are perfect for a sharable dessert, snack or breakfast on the go. The four pack is priced just right at $4.99 and those with one of the three dining plans will be pleased that the pack is just one snack credit.

So just what flavors are available? From sugared to frosted, to candied and covered in cereal options are available from classic to well, loaded. Topping options are fun and add additional flavor and maybe even a little crunch. Some of the options include the beloved and nostalgic cereal Capt’n Crunch, sprinkles, candies, cookie pieces and more can be found crowning the frosting. There are also adorable designs available, including a unicorn and this little bumblebee.

For a more classic option, sugar-dusted donuts are available. If you like a more unique and possibly adventurous experience try the frosted donut topped with popping candy.

The Joffrey’s Revive kiosk is located in Tomorrowland close to Space Mountain. The kiosk features snacks, beverages, specialty drinks, and of course Joffrey’s coffee.

New Night Blossom Banshee Has Flown Into The Rookery In Pandora

April 1, 2019

If you happen to be on an expedition through the Valley of Mo’ara in Pandora at Animal Kingdom, you might want to swing by the Rookery at Windtraders. It seems a beautiful new Night Blossom Banshee has taken up roost, and is now available for adoption!

Shades of purple, fuchsia, green and orange cover this new banshee which shares the name of the popular Night Blossom Drink. Just like the classic Banshees found at the rookery it will contain authentic sounds and include three ranges of motion – mouth, head, and wings – that are controlled by hand.

If you haven’t been the The Rookery to make a pledge to protect Pandora and Earth with a baby Banshee, you can stop by Windtraders anytime during park hours. Don’t forget when you see other banshee keepers to use the traditional Na’vi phrase of greeting and respect, “Oel Ngati Kameie” which means “I See You”.

In addition to the new Banshee, Annual Passholders can now receive a 20% discount and Disney Vacation Club members can receive a 10% on all banshee purchases. Disney Visa Cardmembers also receive 10% off select merchandise purchases of $50 or more at Windtraders when using a Disney Visa Card.

Will you be adopting a gorgeous new Night Blossom Banshee from The Rookery at Windtraders?

Donut-lovers and chocolate-lovers rejoice! Isle of Java is now offering the perfect snack. Isle of Java is located in Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park and now offers Chocolate Donut Holes. They sound absolutely amazing!

The Chocolate Donut Holes are chocolate donut holes rolled in sugar and spice (and everything nice)! They are freshly fried and served warm with a chocolate orange glaze. Yum! I have a weakness for chocolate donuts and this sound absolutely delightful. They are 3 donut holes in a serving. I love that they are served on a skewer. Hello, mess-free snack (especially for little ones)!

The Chocolate Donut Holes are being sold for $4.99 (sales tax not included). Those on one of the three dining plans may use a snack credit to purchase this tasty treat as well.

Isle of Java is located in the Discovery Island section of Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park. This dining establishment also serves drinks such as fresh-brewed espresso and cappuccino, including The Island Cappuccino contains white chocolate and Captain Morgan’s Original Spiced Rum. There are more than enough drink options to choose from that go perfectly with The Chocolate Donut Holes!

The chocolate orange combination seems to be popular in Disney’s Animal Kingdom lately. Restaurantosaurus is currently serving a chocolate orange snack called the Tiger Cupcake. With so many chocolate snack options being offered, sweet tooths everywhere should have no issues being satisfied. Enjoy chocolate fans!

Disney to build footbridge from Transportation and Ticket Center to Magic Kingdom

April 1, 2019

Getting from Disney’s Transportation and Ticket Center to the Magic Kingdom can be a little tricky, especially after Wishes lets out. With the new Skyliner coming to Hollywood Studios just in time for the opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge I am happy to report a new transportation option to help guests get from the TTC to the MK. (Click here to learn our favorite Disney Acronyms)

A recent permit filed with Reed River Improvement District shows a proposed walkway/footbridge that will take guests from the Transportation and Ticket Center to the Magic Kingdom, the best news it will be sponsored by LEGO!

As you can see from the photo, construction has already begun at the TTC and from what we hear the project is expected to complete on February 30th, 2020. You can also see some of the island construction photos here.

No word on what the bridge will look like but we hope it looks like the Golden Gate bridge or the Lego-Brücke in Germany.

We are HUGE fans of LEGO and are super excited to hear about their involvement in the project.

We have many of their playsets such as:

I really want the Marvel’s Shield Helicarrier but it is really expensive and I bet would take a week to build. I find that building the LEGO sets are very relaxing but also challenging, especially the Lego Castle one.

I really wish I would have kept all of my LEGO’s when I was a kid, I literally had boxes and boxes of them.

I don’t even remember what happened to them, maybe my mom threw them out.

I need to call her…

I am hungry I think I will go get something to eat…

Mmm bacon… that was really good.

I like my bacon more on the crispy side myself. How about you?

Oh, you are still here reading this? You have to know by now this was an April Fools joke.

Gotcha 🙂

April Fools!

Thank you, everyone, for being such good sports every year!
