food IS a theme park
We’re eating our way through the 2026 EPCOT International Flower & Garden Festival, and we’re taking you along with us!
Line at Swirled Showcase
This year, in addition to all the food booths, there is new merchandise, fun activities, and exclusive entertainment (like the Garden Rocks concert series!). We’re here to see and do as much as possible. What’s next on our to-do list? Going to Swirled Showcase for another food review!
There are LOTS of options for getting your DOLE Whip while you are at Disney World! Of course, there is always the classic and beloved Pineapple DOLE Whip that you can find across Disney World, and it is available in lots of variations. You can get Pineapple DOLE Whip in a float, on top of a pineapple upside-down cake, made with alcohol, and more. But the DOLE Whip possibilities don’t stop there, as there are also a variety of flavors you can try!
Dole Whip
Some of the flavor options you can find around Disney World include pineapple, strawberry, orange, lemon, vanilla, coconut, and more. We recently stopped by Disney’s Old Key West Resort to grab a delicious DOLE Whip treat, and we are bringing you our full review!

Happy Friday! Who’s ready for a classic Walt Disney World treat?!
Ever since the real Citrus Swirl came home to roost a few years ago, we can’t get enough. We were never fans of that Orange Sherbet concoction that masqueraded as Citrus Swirl for a while.
And today, this fan favorite treat is the star of our latest DFB Video!
Citrus Swirl
Swirls of icey cold frozen Orange Juice yum, plus Vanilla Soft Serve. Sigh. I’m so ready for another one of these right now. It’s the perfect treat to enjoy on a sunshiney Florida day. And it’s the very next way we’re bringing you the best food that Disney has to offer via our new DFB Channel on YouTube. [Read more…]
The countdown is ON!
We are just WEEKS away from the beginning of the 2016 Epcot Food and Wine Festival — and I know you’re as excited as we are!!
While we love Special Events and the Festival Seminars and Demonstrations, our favorite way to spend a Food and Wine Festival Day is Eating — and Drinking — Our Way Around the World at the Marketplace Booths.
And while the plethora of beer and wine choices are always awesome, we have a soft spot for the inventive and delicious Grown Up Slushies that the drink team comes up with! We love these so much that they’ve made it #OnTheList as some of our favorite must-have Disney treats.
This year, we’ve already spied several that we think you MUST try if you haven’t already. But we’ve also seen a couple new options that we’re anxious to sample ASAP! And then there are a few old favorites that deserve your time and attention if you get around to them.
Let’s head out for some refreshment, adult-style, with All the Frozen Grown Up Drinks Ya Gotta Try at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival!
If you plan to make a serious study of Grown Up Slushies in Epcot, then the France Pavilion has to be the first stop on your list. While the Grand Marnier and Grey Goose Slushies are perennial favorites available year around, there’s always something special to try at the Epcot Food and Wine Festival.
This year, the La Passion Martini Slush, a vibrant red mix of Vodka, Grey Goose Le Citron Vodka, Cranberry, and Passion Fruit Juice returns once more.

In recent years, France has given us another delightful twist on a childhood favorite: Frozen Grown Up Push Pops! [Read more…]
