WDW 50th Anniversary Foodie Guide - Part 4


With so many great food specials for the 50th Anniversary, it takes multiple agents and trips to try them all.  Today I bring you the fourth installment of our foodie guide which brings maybe my favorite 50th item yet! 

Disney's Hollywood Studios - Rosie's All American Café

Disney’s Hollywood Studios 50th Celebration Sandwich Cookie
Celebrating the 50th anniversary with a pretzel shortbread cookie sandwiched with strawberry jam and peanut butter-chocolate fudge

This cookie was honestly such a delight.  The first bite is peanut-buttery and wonderful, but then you keep going.  Your next bite you get a little jam with the peanut butter cookie, wow it got even better.  Now your fully into the cookie, and your third bite has the chocolate fudge in addition to the cookie and the jam and it is just the perfect trifecta of salty and sweet.  I can't wait to have this cookie again!

Disney's Animal Kingdom - Dino-Bites Snacks

50th Celebration Ice Cream Sandwich

Dino-Bites is one of my regular go-to spots in Animal Kingdom for a quiet break with a tasty treat.  I'm a huge fan of the classic chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches.  I was excited to give this a try.  While the cookie had a great chocolatey flavor, it was a little too crispy to be a good vessel for the ice cream.  Each bite found the ice cream trying to escape out the other side.  It is quite pretty to look at and so festive, but I just couldn't get past how messy it was! 
Magic Kingdom - Sleepy Hollow

The Doom Berry
Blackberry and Ginger Beer with a specialty straw

I'll be honest, I usually find the specialty non-alcoholic drinks too sweet for my taste, but this one was surprisingly refreshing.  Blackberry isn't an overly sweet fruit to begin with and then the ginger is just the perfect punch to balance it out.  The straw was a big hit as well!
Disney's Hollywood Studios - ABC Commissary

Chocolate Mousse
Raspberry-dark chocolate mousse, chocolate-almond cake, and a layer of hazelnut crunch and whipped chocolate-hazelnut cheesecake

This dessert isn't as "in your face 50th" but it sure has elegance and class.  Not really what I expected from a quick service dessert honestly.  However, this was a chocolate decadence and if you are into that, you will love this dessert. The layers of mousse, cake and crunch played so nicely together.  I'm glad we split this, because it is definitely rich!
If you haven't read Part 1, Part 2, or Part 3 no worries! They don't have to be read chronologically but you may want to read those posts if you're looking for more reviews of all the new tasty treats for the World's Most Magical Celebration.

The celebration continues through March 2023 so you still have over a year to try the new food and drink options.

Cruising with a Baby: A Complete Guide

You took a baby on a cruise!? Yep, and I'd do it again knowing what I know now. So, say goodbye to months of research - Everything you need to know is here!! One of the biggest challenges of traveling with a baby is planning what you need to bring. I wanted to share what worked for us, and hopefully help others who are planning their cruise! Remember, babies can only cruise after their 6-month birthday on sailings from the U.S. If you are going transatlantic, or have more than three days out at sea, they must be 12 months old by the first day of your cruise. Pre-Cruise   We flew to the cruise port, and I couldn’t bring all the food and snacks I needed, so I placed an Instacart order for pick up near the port. I chose Publix in Cocoa Beach which is a few miles from Port Canaveral. I placed the order a few days before we left home, and set the pickup time to 11:00 a.m. I ordered formula, a box of diapers, swim diapers, bottle brush, dish soap, baby food, and baby snacks. I also broug...
