Attention all Disney World Annual Passholders: this news is for YOU! Every once in a while, Disney likes to release Passholder-exclusive treats, merchandise, and discounts. And now that the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays celebration is HERE, Passholders have a new reason to visit EPCOT.

Refreshment Station
Who’s ready to celebrate the EPCOT Festival of the Holidays? The event brings tons of special food booths, shows and storytellers, souvenirs, and a cookie stroll to the World Showcase. But now we’re back to talk about a NEW Passholder-exclusive menu item available at Refreshment Station during the 2023 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays! Wanna know the best part? It comes with a bonus souvenir! Okay, now let’s share the DELICIOUS details with you!
Menu
Over at the Refreshment Station, there is only one Festival of the Holidays-specific menu item: the Annual Passholder exclusive Frostbite Slushy. During our visit, there was no dedicated sign or festival menu for this treat, but we’ll keep our eyes out for an update in the future.

Refreshment Station
Now, let’s dive into our little treat!
Eats
Here it is in all its glory! The Frostbite Slushy is a frozen Fanta blue raspberry slushy with candy snowflakes on top, and it’s served in an Annual Passholder-themed souvenir cup. The slushy (with the cup) is available for $6.25.

Frostbite Slushy
This is a NEW treat for the 2023 holiday season, but we have seen similar other Passholder-exclusive treats served in EPCOT in the past. In terms of the treat itself, this is basically just the Blue Raspberry Fanta slushy they normally serve here, with some sprinkles of “snow,” a.k.a. powdered sugar and hard candy snowflakes. If you can imagine the taste of a Blue Raspberry Fanta slushy, congrats! You know exactly what this tastes like.

It’s cute, right?
Let’s be honest: the selling point of this dessert is the free souvenir cup and the fact that it comes with cute winter-themed toppings. It’s a wintery wonderland in a cup! They didn’t reinvent the wheel here, obviously, but hey — it’s fun. The cup is roughly the size of a juice glass. It’s not gonna hold your venti-size Starbucks drink, but it’s big enough to fit some liquid even with a generous scoop of ice. Best of the fest? No. Cute little treat for Annual Passholders? Yes!
OVERALL
If you like that classic blue raspberry flavor in candy, drinks, or slushies, go ahead and give this a try! Otherwise, you might be better off paying for a full-sized souvenir cup from a gift shop. We loved the presentation of our slushy, but we’re not going to sit here and tell you this is the best thing we’ve ever had. Admittedly, there’s not a lot happening over at Refreshment Station, but there’s a LOT more happening elsewhere in EPCOT!
