It’s no secret that when it comes to food, we’ll probably choose Disneyland over Disney World, especially when it comes to snacks. One word: churros. Need we say more?

Now, Disneyland is ALWAYS dropping some kind of new food and drinks in the parks, so we’re always getting to try new things. Well, Disneyland just dropped some MORE new foods and drinks, and you KNOW we were there to try them. So let’s see what we thought!

First, we headed to Royal Street Veranda in Disneyland Park to grab the New Orleans Mint Julep Float for $9.79. Now, we’re already big fans of the standard Mint Julep, but this one is topped with Mango Sorbet. Now, that means you’re getting a drink that has a lot of fresh mango flavor. The mint is more of an aftertaste, but it still adds a light and refreshing element. It’s even better once it melts a little, and you can just combine everything. Honestly, if we had to choose between this and a regular mint julep, we’d choose this!

You can also pick up the Cajun Caesar Chicken Po’Boy for $12.99 here. It’s made with Kale-Romaine Mix tossed with House-made Caesar Dressing, Cajun Chicken, and Croutons on a French Roll. Even if you don’t like Caesar dressing, this has some Cajun spices in it that make it super tasty. This sandwich has a lot of well-cooked chicken on it, so you’re getting your protein. We also loved the crunch the croutons added…we wanted more!

The bread has a nice crunchy exterior with a chewy interior and didn’t get soggy, even after sitting for a little while. It’s a great sandwich to grab on a hot summer day, and it comes wrapped so you can take it and munch on it while standing in line for a ride. It’s easy to eat on the go. It’s also filling, and maybe even shareable.

How is this so good?

After all that, we moseyed over to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge to try some new offerings in honor of the release of The Mandalorian and Grogu at Docking Bay 7. We started with the Bounty Bun with Spiced Beef and Pork with Tomato Chutney, Golden Aïoli, and Sautéed Blue Onions for $15.99. We were really surprised by all the flavors we tasted when we bit into it!

The meat is cooked well and has some really nice spices. We got both savory and sweet, and just a tiny bit of heat. The flavors melded so well together that we really couldn’t separate them, which is a good thing. It’s also so unique and has that fun galaxy-inspired look.

It looks fun, too!

We also tried the Adelphi Cheesy Noodles with Fried Chicken Tip-Yip with Pancetta, Toasted Herb Breadcrumbs, and Sweet and Spicy Chili Sauce for $18.99. Um…you had us at “noodles” and “cheese.” It’s similar to the regular Chicken Tip-Yip you can get here, but this is a larger portion, so you’re getting more bang for your buck. It’s also a heavier meal, with the chicken and the super creamy noodles. The chicken has a lovely breading and seasoning.

The sweet and spicy chili sauce comes separately, so you can choose to add it or not, and if you do, it does have a kick. It also adds a lovely extra flavor to everything, though. But this dish doesn’t really need it. It’s a hearty meal, and we’d say this one is worth the price.

Now, it’s time to head on over to Disney California Adventure to visit Willie’s Churros, which is pretty much the first churro cart you’ll see when you enter the park. There, you can get the Apple Pie Churro for $7.50. It’s a churro rolled in graham cracker sugar and topped with apple pie filling, whipped topping, and caramel drizzle. This is summer and the 4th of July as a dessert. The tart apples with the apple pie filling and sweet cinnamon churro really make it taste like apple pie in churro form. The only thing that didn’t work for us was the whipped cream because it just didn’t add much to the dessert. With that being said, though, who needs a pie crust when you can have a churro instead?

Speaking of Americana vibes, we ran over to Smokejumpers Grill to grab the Red, White, and Blue Punch for $7.79. It’s made with Sprite and White Cranberry Juice with Blue Raspberry & Cherry Syrups, and topped with Cold Foam. You know those frozen firecracker popsicles? This tastes just like that, except in liquid form. In fact, it surprised us, considering the ingredients, that it tasted just like that! The cold foam adds a nice creamy touch. The strongest flavor is the blue raspberry, so if you love that flavor, you’ll love this. The Sprite adds a nice carbonation. It’s festive, fun, and refreshing.
