As 2024 comes to an end, we can’t help but reflect on everything that happened in Disney World this year.

Okay, what we really can’t help reflecting on are all the delicious eats and drinks we tried in Disney World this year! We discovered new restaurants, and new snacks, and even said goodbye to some of our favorites. But, 2024 isn’t over quite yet which means we’ve got one final snack to try as we usher in the New Year!
We headed on over to Pizzafari at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to grab the New Year’s 2025 Cupcake for $6.29! This is a chocolate cupcake with cherry filling, almond frosting, chocolate crispy pearls, and a chocolate 2025 decoration on top. If this cupcake looks familiar to you, you’d be correct! Disney releases a version of this cupcake every year, and we try it… every year!

We’re not kidding — here’s the 2024 version…

But, how does the 2025 version of the cupcake taste?! We can definitely see why this cupcake has still stood the test of time. It’s a very moist, chocolate cupcake, which really isn’t anything to write home about. What we really love about it is that cherry filling — you’ve got the cherry pieces along with that pie-like glaze, so it’s almost like a black cherry feel when paired with the chocolate.

The whipped topping is really supposed to be like an almond flavor, but it kind of gets lost in all the cherry and chocolatey flavors, though the crisp pearls are a fun addition. They’re coated in colored chocolate so they may stain your fingers if you handle them too much, but overall this is just a nice fun treat. It tastes great thanks to the chocolate and cherry, and there’s a reason we get it again and again!
YUM
One thing is for sure, we can’t wait to see what 2025 has in store for Disney World and we’ll be keeping an eye out for the latest news and more!
