Over 150 NEW food and drink items will be available throughout Disney World’s theme parks and resorts as part of the big 50th Anniversary celebrations.

We’ve already shared the FULL list of new treats coming to Disney World, and we got a special first look at the ones over at EPCOT. Today, we got a first look at some of the new items coming to Magic Kingdom. If you love Mr. Toad, the Haunted Mansion, and really all things related to Disney snacks, you aren’t going to want to miss out some of these!

Let’s go through Magic Kingdom land-by-land and get a sneak peek at some of the NEW eats!

Main Street, U.S.A.

On Main Street, U.S.A. at the Plaza Restaurant you’ll find quite a few new dishes. Today, we got a sneak peek at the Monte Cristo Sandwich. This dish is made of deep-fried funnel cake batter with bacon, roasted turkey, and provolone sprinkled with EARidescent and powdered sugar served with a side of strawberry jam.

We also got a look at the Cheers to 50 Years! sundae coming to the Plaza.

This treat features chocolate and vanilla ice cream, brownies, cupcakes, cookie crumbles, pretzel rods, and hot fudge topped with whipped cream, EARidescent sugar, and a Mickey pretzel drizzled with caramel and chocolate icing (serves 4-6).

You’ll definitely want to bring some friends to share this!

Over at Tony’s Town Square Restaurant you’ll find the Five Alarm Wings. These wings are tossed in a sweet-and-spicy heat served with ranch dressing for dipping.

Want some dessert? You can hop over to Casey’s Corner for the Pressed Penny Silk Pie.

This is made of a chocolate tart shell, silky chocolate filling, sweet whipped cream, and a chocolate-pressed penny.

We love that pressed penny design in the middle!

Fantasyland

At Be Our Guest Restaurant, you’ll find the Squids Revenge Drink!

This is a michelada with a salted rim and garnished with charred octopus and cucumber. Watch out — the octopus is back and ready to attack!

At The Friar’s Nook you’ll be able to grab The Toad Burger, which is a brat burger served on a bun with lettuce, tomato, pickle, and American cheese. We cannot get over how this one looks — this is a treat you’ll want to get on Instagram for sure!

At Pinocchio Village Haus you’ll be able to grab a specialty flatbread. The flatbread that Disney has shared details about so far is the Korean Short Rib Flatbread which features Korean barbecue, shredded beef, mozzarella, and red cabbage slaw drizzled with spicy ginger mayonnaise.

But, during our media preview event today, a Cast Member indicated that the flatbread is based off of “it’s a small world” and will actually change over time to represent different countries and cultures!

Liberty Square

At Columbia Harbour House, Haunted Mansion fans will find the Happy Haunts Milkshake. This treat is made with a blackberry milkshake topped with a purple chocolate-glazed doughnut covered with black sprinkles.

We especially loved the themed straw that was featured with it!

You can get more of those Haunted Mansion vibes at Sleepy Hollow with The Doom Berry.

This colorful drink is a Blackberry and Ginger Beer.

Tomorrowland

At Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies you’ll be able to snag the Uncle Orville Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Sundae. Yes, that is a sundae in a bathtub!!

The sundae is made of chocolate and vanilla soft-serve, brownie pieces, hot fudge, and whipped cream topped with red, white, and blue sprinkles served in a “bathtub”.”

If you’re in the mood for a burger, you can stop by Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for the Mission to Mars.

This is a burger topped with bacon and macaroni & cheese served on a bun dusted with crushed cheese-flavored puffs. Cheesy!

Outdoor Kiosks

At outdoor kiosks around Magic Kingdom, you’ll want to look for the Dumbo Churros.

These are churros rolled in peanut dust and served with chocolate dipping sauce in a Dumbo-themed churro bag. We have a feeling our elephant friend would approve!

And finally, we got a look at something that will actually be available at select table-service restaurants, lounges, and pool bars throughout the four Disney World Theme Parks and Resorts — the EARidescent Sip-a-bration! 

This is a non-alcoholic beverage that consists of Minute Maid Premium Lemonade and fruity strawberry punch, and it is served in a souvenir 50th Celebration Cup.

Each drink is served with a surprise character! What you’ll do is dunk that character into the drink…

…and that will cause the drink to change colors!

That’s just SOME of the food coming to Magic Kingdom and Disney World overall as part of the 50th Anniversary. For a FULL list — click here!

We’ll keep an eye out for more updates about the 50th Anniversary and we’ll let you know what we find.

The post PHOTOS: First Look at the 50th Anniversary Treats Coming to Magic Kingdom first appeared on the disney food blog.

In case you missed it, Disney World had some BIG announcements this morning.

We learned when the new Star Wars hotel is opening, got an opening timeline for the Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind roller coaster, and learned about new, interactive MagicBands called MagicBand+. The huge news drop included all kinds of updates, but one MAJOR update was missing from these announcements.

After we heard all the news, we just had one question: What about TRON? 

Disney World started building the TRON: Lightcycle Run roller coaster in the Magic Kingdom back in 2018. Since then, we’ve kept a close eye on the construction progress, anxiously waiting for the announcement that it’s close to finished.

But Disney has been mysteriously silent about the roller coaster. Their announcements today addressed a lot of other major projects going on, but conspicuously did not include an update for the Magic Kingdom ride. We’re assuming that, based on Disney’s silence and how the construction looks now, that the opening timeline of the ride is fluid.

Although we’ve seen some progress on the construction, it still doesn’t look close to finished from the outside.

So when could the new TRON ride open in Disney World? Right now, we can only speculate. Hopefully, we get more information soon! But we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as we hear anything, so keep following DFB!

The post One MAJOR Update Was MISSING from Disney World’s Big News Drop This Morning first appeared on the disney food blog.

In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of Walt Disney World, each of the monorails has received a special glowing light enhancement.

Each train has received a lighting color that matches its painted stripe.

We think the new lighting is pretty cool. Do you like it?

Disney World’s newest hotel, the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser (also known to us as the Star Wars hotel), will be a unique 2-night, immersive experience fit for even the biggest fans of Star Wars.

Today we learned not only the day reservations open for the Star Wars hotel, but also when the first “voyages” will commence! Select people have access to a special early window for reserving a spot on the Galactic Starcruiser, so here’s what you need to know if you want to be among the first guests of the Galactic Starcruiser.

As Disney hinted in the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser announcements, there are a few groups of people who will have access to make reservations before they’re open to the general public. Disney Vacation Club Members will be eligible to book a reservation at the Star Wars hotel from October 7th through October 9th for voyages on March 1st through May 4th (Star Wars Day!). Reservations will open to the public on October 28th.

Active Disney World Annual Passholders are also eligible to book reservations during the same pre-sale window. The very first “voyage” at the Star Wars hotel will be on March 1st, so this pre-sale is a great opportunity for Annual Passholders and DVC members to be among the first to experience this immersive hotel. Reservations are limited during this pre-sale window and we expect them to go FAST, so don’t forget!

Disney has also hinted that Disney Visa Cardmembers may also receive a booking opportunity, so we’ll be watching closely for more information. If you’re a DVC member or a Disney World Annual Passholder who wants to book a trip on the Star Wars: Galactic Starcruiser, mark your calendar for October 7th! And keep reading DFB for all your Disney World news!
