Disney Rings In Spring with New Tasty Treats

Disney Spring Bites

Disney Spring Bites

Spring is just around the corner and Disney foodies will be delighted to know that the end of Winter means a new array of tasty springtime treats at the parks over the next few months.  Disney released a sneak peek this week of some of the fantastic new bites that will be on offer.  Here’s your first look at these delightful snacks.

Beauty and the Beast-themed Treats – To celebrate the new opening of the live action version of Beauty and the Beast, Disney has created a special Beauty and the Beast-inspired cupcake which you’ll find at the Main Street Confectionery.  Over at Amorette’s Patisserie at Disney Springs you can celebrate the film by tucking into an Enchanted Rose cake.  Hollywood Studios will also be offering a themed cupcake of their own which will be served up at ABC Commissary, The Trolley Car Cafe, Rosie’s All-American Cafe and Catalina Eddies.  Over to the West Coast, at Disneyland,  the newly themed,  Red Rose Taverne (formerly Village Haus) and Maurice’s Treats will be serving up their own version of The Grey Stuff (see pictured).

 

Spring Tasty Bites

New Joffrey’s kiosk to open at Magic Kingdom with exclusive specialty latte.  A new coffee kiosk will be springing up in Tomorrowland giving coffee-lovers a chance to refuel without having to head back over to Main Street.  Joffrey’s Revive will open in march and will serve up the same coffee, tea and espresso beverages that have made the chain a Disney crowd-pleaser.  Exclusive to this location will also be the decadent S’mores Latte which will feature artisan-roasted espresso, chocolate sauce, sweet marshmallow syrup and will be topped with whipped cream, graham cracker sprinkles and more marshmallows.  The drink will come in both hot and iced versions.  Yes please!

Disney Spring Treats

Triple Chocolate Treats at Disneyland Resort – The theme of  March’s gourmet candy offerings over at Disneyland Resort is Triple Chocolate.  Guests have an opportunity to sample both a candy apple triple threat as well as a crispy treat.  Both snacks feature milk chocolate, semi sweet chocolate, white chocolate chips and dark and white chocolate drizzle.  These items are a chocolate lovers dream come true and can be found at Candy Palace (Main Street U.S.A), Trolly Treats (Disney California Adventure) and Marceline’s Confectionery (Downtown Disney).  But act fast on April 1st, they’re gone.

 

Disney Spring Treats

Jumbo Pretzels Now Available at Germany Pavilion – Pretzel’s that are meant to be eaten family style are now available at Sommerfest, Germany Bierline and the Germany Pretzel Cart at Epcot’s World Showcase.   So take a bite and pass it around.

Chuck Wagon Food Truck now Open at Fort Wilderness –  Disney World’s Resort & Campground debuted a new food truck this week in the form of an RV.  The kiosk, known as the Chuck Wagon is now serving up a range of rustic goodies from the Smoked Beef Brisket Sandwich to the Fort Wilderness Smoked Pork Belly and Tillamook Cheeseburger.  The kiosk can be found in the Meadows Recreation Area and is open from 5 to 9pm on weekdays and 11am – 9pm on weekends.

A Frozen Perfume Will be Debuting Soon at Epcot

A Frozen Perfume Will be Debuting Soon at Epcot

Do you want to build a snowman, or build a palace of ice? If you’re Frozen obsessed you’ll be delighted to know that a Frozen Perfume will soon be making it’s debut at Epcot. This essence of “Frozen in a Bottle” will arrive just in time for guests visiting Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival.

A Frozen Perfume Will be Debuting Soon at Epcot

Geir Ness, a perfume designer who crafted this icy scent says “It’s a scent for people that love the movie, first of all, the nature of the movie. The scent is to capture the nature of the movie and not just the princesses.”  Geir also said “I wanted to try to get this fragrance close to what the scent is of Norway. It’s not easy to create something … it’s one thing to have it in your head,” Ness says. “If you like all different flowers by themselves, but put them together — maybe not smell so good.”

Ness crafted the perfume with notes of Lily of the Valley, Rose, Amber, Wild Mountain Flowers, and Lavender. He wanted something clean and fresh, that would make you feel like you were part of the movie. To prepare, Ness watched the hit animated film about 20 times!

I love this concept, it’s like adding another layer to the film, like when we smell oranges on Sorain’!

You can see a glacier of Norway, like the steep mountains. I want the feeling of ice into the bottle,” Ness says. “The packaging is blue, the same color you see in the movies. … You feel something — the effects of cold and ice when you see the packaging.

Ness has also created another Disney perfume that is inspired from Norway. The incredibly popular and loved “Laila” eau de parfum, which is sold at the Norway Pavilion. This perfume is named for his mother. If the Frozen in a Bottle fragrance is even half as lovely as Laila, I’m super excited!

A Frozen Perfume Will be Debuting Soon at Epcot

The “Frozen in a Bottle” perfume debuts Wednesday at Epcot’s Norway pavilion. Ness, will even be at the theme park for autographs till Sunday, amazing!

The Frozen Perfume will sell for $70 for a 3.4-ounce spray bottle and $50.00 for a 1.7-ounce spray bottle.

Disney Wins At The Oscars

Disney Wins At The Oscars

Disney took both animation categories and visual effects at Sunday’s Academy Awards.

The studio’s smash “Zootopia” won for best animated feature; Disney/Pixar’s charming “Piper” won for animated short; and Disney’s CGI/live-action hybrid “The Jungle Book” won for visual effects.

Zootopia” filmmakers Byron Howard, Rich Moore and Clark Spencer mentioned the degree to which politically divisive times have lent a lens through which to view their anthropomorphic satire. In accepting the award, Moore expressed gratitude that audiences embraced “this story of tolerance being more powerful than fear of the other.”

Disney Wins At The Oscars

Alan Barillaro and Marc Sondheimer won for “Piper.” For all its success, Pixar hadn’t won for animated short since 2002 (“For the Birds”).

Disney Wins At The Oscars

It was no surprise that “Jungle Book,” directed by Jon Favreau, won for best visual effects. The cutting-edge technology that went into creating so much of the film was breath-taking and seamed so well with the live-action.

Walt Disney World Star Wars & Toy Story Land Construction Update

Walt Disney World Star Wars & Toy Story Land Construction Update

Many of us are eagerly anticipating the debut of Star Wars Land in 2019.  This new land, at 14 acres, will be the largest “Land” at any of the Walt Disney World Parks.  Here are some updated photos of the Walt Disney World Star Wars & Toy Story Land construction at Hollywood Studios.

Walt Disney World Star Wars & Toy Story Land Construction Update

If you stand at the entrance to Tatooine Traders at the entrance to Muppets Courtyard, you can zoom your camera and get an idea of all the work that is going on behind the Star Wars Land construction walls.

The former Streets of America is now a dirt road.  The Star Wars Land construction area contains mounds of dirt, storage containers, a backhoe vehicle, and of course the infamous cranes.

The far side of the construction, bordering Mama Melrose and the exit for Muppet Vision 3D, still has a building standing with the ever-present snowman.  There is also one building facade standing along the former Streets of America, as seen from the Muppets Courtyard.  We are wondering if this building will remain, as an iconic memory of days past, and somehow become part of the new Star Wars Land.  Most of the underbrush and smaller trees have been removed from the area that used to be the surrounding  grenery for the New York City building facade. There is now a clear view straight across to the Sci-Fi Dine In as you exit, and enter, the walkway to Muppets Courtyard.
