They may not be flashy, but sometimes you just need to grab a classic snack and drink while you’re at Disney World!
Animal Kingdom
Here at the Disney Food Blog, we love to try tons of different snacks and drinks, and then give you our thoughts. We love going for the unique stuff, but other times we go with the simpler snacks. We recently went to Animal Kingdom and picked up a couple of classics, and we’re sharing our review with you!
One of our favorite quick pit stop spots at Animal Kingdom is Drinkwallah! You’ll find it in Asia, and we usually like to stop by on our way to Expedition Everest or Kali River Rapids.
Drinkwallah
For this stop, we grabbed a Frozen Coke for $6.29 and Glazed Pecans for $5.99. Both of these items can actually be grabbed at any of the four parks at Disney World. There are a couple of staples when you’re looking for a tasty snack and a cold refresher to keep you going during a hot Disney day.
Frozen Coke
The frozen Coke was icy cold, just the way you’d want it on a very hot day. It truly is the perfect refreshing “pick me up”. For fans of a classic Coca-Cola, this will hit the spot, as the notes of the caramel and ginger do come through. Do be careful, though, because drinking it a little too fast may result in the classic brain freeze.
So refreshing!
Be aware that in the Florida sun, it will melt particularly fast, turning it into basically flat Coca-Cola. So, enjoy your drink, but don’t take too long to finish it. When you really need something cold to drink, this is the go-to. One problem we face is the paper straws. They degrade rather quickly and make it hard to drink. You may want to bring your own straw!
Frozen Coke!
Now, let’s talk about the snack, because nothing beats munching on glazed pecans at Disney World. They’re warm, crunchy, sweet, cinnamon goodness, with a nutty pecan finish. If you are craving something crunchy and not overly sweet, this is the perfect snack.
Glazed Pecans
Each pecan is roasted in cinnamon sugar, evoking warm, craveable flavors that we associate with childhood.
They’re so tasty!
Although they are served warm, they will cool quickly. We try to wrap them up well in the bag to sustain you throughout the day. Any fan of cinnamon toast or even cinnamon rolls will find that these little nuggets are incredibly satisfying and will tame a sweet tooth in the afternoon, without being too sweet.
These are a classic!
Like we said, sometimes you just can’t beat the classics. If you’re at Animal Kingdom, grab this pair at Drinkwallah; you seriously won’t regret it. For more Disney food and drink reviews, make sure to stay tuned to the Disney Food Blog!
