Would You Pay $25 to Eat REAL GOLD in Disney World?!

We’re expecting a lot of sparkles and glitter during Disney World’s 50th anniversary, and in this case, you can actually EAT. GOLD.

Vivoli il Gelato

Vivoli il Gelato is located in Disney Springs, and they’re known for having more than a dozen flavors of gelato and sorbet. They also offer special seasonal flavors, like the beer ice cream we tried recently. Now they have a new special 50th anniversary treat, and it involves eating gold.

The Golden Jubilee is a new Vivoli il Gelato gelato shake made with white chocolate hazelnut with a waffle cone, caramel sauce, and whipped cream. Are you wondering where the gold is? It’s in the sprinkles, which are 23k edible gold sprinkles! It costs a whopping $25.

Golden Jubilee

Yes, that is real gold, and it’s safe to eat! Warning: You might feel extra expensive after eating this treat. Not only is the Golden Jubilee stunning, but it’s also delicious. We loved the hazelnut flavor and combined with the white chocolate and caramel sauce, this drink was nicely balanced, and it wasn’t overly sweet.

EDIBLE Gold

The shimmering white chocolate waffle cone added a nice crunch and was fun to eat after we finished the drink. The biggest issue we had with the Golden Jubilee was the $25 price tag, which is pretty steep for a single drink. But, it does have real gold sprinkles, so you decide how fancy you want to be during your next visit to Disney Springs!

Golden Jubilee

So if you want to eat gold, you might want to visit Vivoli il Gelato in Disney Springs and make sure you budget for the $25 price tag. And keep checking back with DFB for more 50th anniversary coverage!

Here’s a first look at the 50th anniversary treats coming to Magic Kingdom!

PHOTOS: A 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Collectible is Coming to Disney World!

Disney World’s 50th anniversary is mere HOURS away, folks!

Who is ready for the big day?!

And, we’ve just learned so much more about the celebrations that are in store. We’ve seen the food coming to EPCOT and Magic Kingdom, MORE new merchandise, and found out about a NEW interactive MagicBand coming soon! It’s such an exiting time for us Disney fans, and we want to make sure special things don’t get overshadowed. So, we need to show you something really fun coming to Magic Kingdom for the 50th!

Check out this 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea diver figure!

A bit spooky!

It was revealed today as Disney was talking about the food offerings coming to Magic Kingdom. The diver was shown with the Squids Revenge Drink coming to Be Our Guest (which is a michelada with a salted rim, garnished with charred octopus and cucumber), so, we think the diver might be coming to the restaurant as well!

A drink fit for a scuba diver!

The drink and diver figure honor 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Submarine Voyage, which was an opening day attraction in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland back in 1971. The attraction was based off of the 1954 Disney movie by the same name.

20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

While the attraction closed in 1994, its legacy lives on, and Disney is definitely making sure of that with these fun offerings! We’ll be on the lookout for the diver figure during the 50th anniversary celebrations and let you know more details, so stay tuned to DFB for updates!
