REVIEW: We’re Petitioning For Disney World’s New Year’s Dole Whip to Be Around All Year

It’s New Year’s Eve, and we’re ready to celebrate BIG in Disney World!

Happy New Year!

We’ve got fireworks to watch, dance parties to enjoy, and some delicious snacks to chow down on. And right now, we’re heading to Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort for a fan-fave — Dole Whip!

Last year, Pineapple Lanai had a pretty spectacular Dole Whip Float for New Year’s Eve, and we’re hoping that they do it again to ring in 2022. We’ve got a hankering for some dessert!

Pineapple Lanai

And to our giddy surprise, they’re back again for more! This year, we’ve got the New Year’s Float, made with POG juice, pineapple Dole Whip, popping candy, and pineapple bubbles for $6.49. It’s topped with a tiny umbrella and a white chocolate “2022” topper.

New Year’s Float

As far as looks go, we think it’s beautiful! With the colorful popping candies and the cute lil’ umbrella, it’s a perfect celebration treat for Polynesian Village Resort.

It looks so yummy!

But the taste is the most important thing here! It was DELICIOUS. How can you go wrong with POG juice and Dole Whip? We received a swirl even though the sign says pineapple, so you may want to say whether you want pineapple or swirl when you order.

We love it!

We didn’t really taste the pineapple bubbles, but we love how the swirl balances the tartness of the pineapple with the vanilla. And the POG juice gave it just the right amount of sweetness. Our only complaint is that we wanted MORE popping candies!

Popping candies!

We wish this treat would be around all year — this location offers regular Dole Whip floats so they would just have to switch the pineapple juice for POG juice. That’s all for now, but stay tuned to DFB tonight for more New Year’s Eve coverage of Disney World! We’ll keep you updated with everything you want to know!

DIY FUN: A runDisney Tutorial That Will Have You Racing to the Finish Line!

runDisney has supplied us with some great tutorials in the past, so it’s no surprise that they are at it again with this new Do-It-Yourself project!

We recently found a shiny new tutorial for a running skirt inspired by Minnie Mouse’s EARidescent celebration outfit. Grab your measuring tape, because you’re going to want to run to create this fun new DIY from runDisney!

With the Walt Disney World 2022 Marathon Weekend quickly approachingrunDisney has shared their latest tutorial to help you get ready for the race. We’ve got all the information you’ll need to complete this EARidescent running skirt below!

©Disney

Supplies:

Let’s start by grabbing our supplies. You’ll need:

  • Tulle fabric, in pink, light blue, and dark blue
  • Thick gold ribbon
  • Thin gold ribbon
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape

Instructions:

To make the skirt, follow these instructions:

  • Using your measuring tape, measure around your waist where you want the top of the skirt to sit.
  • Cut two strips of the thin gold ribbon to the waist measurement you just took. Set these aside.
  • Taking the thick gold ribbon, measure out the length of your waist PLUS 40-50 inches (so you can tie your skirt in the back!). Set this aside.
  • Using your measuring tape again, measure from your waist down to where you want the bottom of the skirt to be — then double this measurement.
  • Now, grab your tulle and begin cutting strips. Like, A LOT of strips. They should be 6 inches wide by however long you want the skirt to be. Repeat until you have a big ol’ pile of tulle!
  • Wrap the thick gold ribbon around your waist, and tie a knot at each end where the two ends meet at your back.

©Disney

  • Next, you’ll want to layer your tulle strips in groups by grabbing a few.
  • Grab your first grouping and fold it in half lengthwise, then place the fold underneath the thick gold ribbon as shown in the photo above. Taking the bottom of the tulle, fold it up over the gold ribbon and through the little loop at the top. Pull tight!
  • This part is up to you — keep adding groups of tulle until your first layer is as voluminous as you’d like it!

©Disney

  • For the next color layer, you’ll keep repeating the process but will cut these strips to be about four inches from the top.
  • Repeat the same step, but this time cutting the strips to be eight inches from the top.
  • Once your skirt is nice and fluffy, take your thin gold ribbon, weave it through the tulle knots at the top and tie at each end!

Tie your skirt around your waist and strut your stuff because you are all done. We are always keeping our eyes peeled for the latest projects and news from Disney, so make sure to check back here for more!

REVIEW: You Can EAT Fireworks With Disney World’s Newest Cupcake!

Happy New Year’s Eve! Can you believe it’s almost 2022?

It’s almost 2022!

There are plenty of ways to celebrate whether you are at Disney World, Disneyland, fan-favorite restaurants, or on your couch! We’ve already given you a look at the return of New Year’s fireworks in Magic Kingdom and we’ve tried a returning New Year’s cupcake, but now we’re checking out another 2022-inspired treat!

If you want to countdown to 2022 with a sweet treat, head over to BoardWalk Bakery! We picked up the 2022 Mickey Cupcake and it’s SO festive!

2022 Mickey Cupcake!

This cupcake is made with vanilla cake and a root beer gelee, and it’s topped with vanilla whipped cream and a red white chocolate Mickey covered in stars and2022.” AND it has the most adorable white chocolate red and gold sparkly “fireworks!”

It’s time to ring in 2022!

The topper looks pretty similar to the New Year’s Eve cupcake from Disney’s Animal Kingdom last year but has completely different flavors. So let’s see how this New Year’s cupcake tastes!

So cute and festive

We loved the vanilla whipped cream! It was super light and not too sweet, but we did kind of wish there was a lot more of it. In fact, we’d take more whipped cream over the chocolate toppers!

That’s whipped cream on top!

This cupcake was really moist and fresh and the root beer gelee was surprisingly good! It did add a bit of an odd texture to the cupcake but it worked well anyway because there wasn’t a ton of it.

Happy New Year!

Overall, the 2022 Cupcake was a bit on the bland side so some people might wish it had more flavors than vanilla and root beer. But the root beer gelee was really fun and if you’re a root beer fan you might really enjoy it!

Root beer gelee

This cupcake is perfect for someone who prefers more cake in their cupcakes, but if you’re a big chocolate or icing fan this cupcake might not work for you. We think kids would really love the root beer flavor and the fun glittery chocolate fireworks!

This treat won’t be around for long, so be sure to head over to BoardWalk Bakery soon if you want to try it! You can grab it for $5.99.
