Butterfinger Cupcake Returns to Trolley Car Cafe

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.

Butterfinger Cupcake Returns to Trolley Car Cafe

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!

Butterfinger Cupcake Returns to Trolley Car Cafe

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

Joffrey’s Coffe and Tea Company in Tomorrowland now has four packs of these darling two (or maybe three) bite donuts available for purchase.

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.

New Night Blossom Banshee Has Flown Into The Rookery In Pandora

Night Blossom Banshee

New Night Blossom Banshee Has Flown Into The Rookery In Pandora

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?

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

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

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)

Walkway

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!

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

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.

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

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.

Lego Castle

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.
