Our Favorite 50th Anniversary Treats

Just last week we were at the Walt Disney World Resort enjoying the sights, sounds, and treats from the World’s Most Magical Celebration! We found all of the 50th Anniversary statues, we saw the new Mickey’s Celebration Cavalcade, I watched Disney Enchantment on Main Street U.S.A., and we tried a few on the new 50th Anniversary Celebration eats and treats.

Throughout the celebration, there will be 150 food and beverage items to celebrated the 50th Anniversary of Magic Kingdom. During our most recent trip we tried six Celebration exclusive treats, and today we’re going to rank them in order from our favorite, to our least favorite.

 50th Celebration Ice Cream Sandwich (Dino-Bites) – Vanilla soft-serve ice cream sandwiched between two giant, fudgy chocolate cookies, all rolled in EARidescent sprinkles, and topped with a 50th medallion. The cookies were rich and chocolatey, and just firm enough to hold the sandwich together without crumbling. This was the overall favorite.

Pressed Penny Silk (Casey’s Corner) – Rich, smooth chocolate filling inside a chocolate tart shell, topped with fluffy whipped cream and a chocolate pressed penny. This was rich, creamy, chocolatey, and amazing.

Glimmer and Shimmer Blondie (Fairfax Fare and Backlot Express) – This coconut and toffee blondie is topped with salted caramel buttercream and gold nuggets. It is also quite large, and easily sharable. It is delicious! The only thing that could make it better is some chocolate chucks to break up the richness.

50th Celebration Sandwich Cookie (Rosie’s All-American Cafe) – A crunchy pretzel shortbread cookies is topped with strawberry jam, peanut butter-chocolate fudge, and Hollywood Studios images. We had really high hopes for this cookie – we all LOVE peanut butter. Sadly, the peanut butter-chocolate fudge was overpowered by the thick layer of strawberry jam.  

Celebration Hot Dog (Casey’s Corner) – When we first saw this menu listing even before the Celebration started, we were intrigued. We had to try it. For science. An all beef hot dog is topped with strawberry-bacon jam, funnel cake pieces, and powdered sugar. The jam was more like a strawberry sauce and soaked the bun, the strawberry was also a bit overpowering. The funnel cake pieces were really good. Overall, the hot dog/ dessert experience was slightly weird, but not totally bad.

Celebration Cupcake (Restaurantosaurus) – This lemon cake has lemon filling, vanilla frosting, celebration sprinkles, a chocolate Mickey, and a 50th anniversary medallion. The cupcake wasn’t bad, but it had A LOT of frosting, and the kids weren’t big fans of the very lemony flavor.

 

We’ve only scratched the surface of all of the 50th Anniversary Celebration eats that are available at Walt Disney World right now. We’re looking forward to going back again, and trying enough more eats and sweets!

We Used Genie+ for the First Time. What did we Think?!

Back in June my sister, Sharon, and I took a girls trip to Disney World! It was a fun trip, and for the first time since it came out, we used Genie+. Today, we're going to share our thoughts about the experience.  What is Genie+?!  Genie+ is the paid for "skip the standyby line" option that replaced Fastpass+. It debuted on October 1, 2021 on the first day of the 50th Anniversary Celebration. This is what the Walt Disney World website says about the service, " Use the Lightning Lane entrances offered through Disney Genie+ service and save time waiting in line. On average, Guests can enter 2 to 3 attractions or experiences per day using Lightning Lane entrances, if the first selection is made early in the day." There is also a second option, Individual Attraction Selection. The Disney World site says, " You may also purchase individual—or à la carte—Lightning Lane entry selections for specific attractions that aren’t offered through Disney Genie+ service. Pu

Dinner at Royal Court on the Disney Fantasy

We’ve mentioned more than a few times that each of the four Disney ships has three main dining rooms. All four ships have the fun Animator’s Palate that we talked about a couple of weeks ago, as well as a themed dining rooms on the Magic and Wonder (Rapunzel’s and Tiana’s) and Enchanted Garden on the Dream and Fantasy. We’ll talk about Enchanted Garden in our next Disney Cruise Line focused post! This week, though, we’re excited to talk about the third main dining room on the Disney Fantasy, Royal Court. Royal Court, like Royal Palace on the Dream, Triton’s on the Wonder, and Lumiere’s on the Magic is the most upscale of the three main dining rooms. Located right off the main lobby Royal Court is a grand dining room that celebrates Disney’s royal couples. Throughout the dining room there are mosaics of Disney Princess and their princes including Belle and Beast,  Jasmine and Aladdin, Tiana and Naveen, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Aurora and Phillip, Ariel and Eric, and Snow Wh
