I am so excited about this edition of Best Bites! It has it all – from adorable “Raya and the Last Dragon”-inspired treats and over-the-top hotdogs and shakes to the return of Sangria University and breakfast with Disney Junior Characters. Check out all the yummy details below. Enjoy!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom Theme Park
To celebrate the upcoming release of Walt Disney Studios’ “Raya and the Last Dragon,” I have some very special treats to share. In addition to the experiences coming to Disney’s Animal Kingdom announced previously on Disney Parks Blog, three new creative sweet treats inspired by the film debut today in the Park.
- Baby Tuk Tuk Mousse – 5-spice mousse on top of chocolate cake, milk chocolate cream, chocolate velvet ”shell,” and chocolate crispy pearls (available starting Feb. 22 at Creature Comforts Coffee Shop and Isle of Java).
- Baby Tuk Tuk Ice Cream Sundae – Chai-spiced
caramel cake, chai caramel sauce, vanilla ice cream, green tea cake crumbs,
salted caramel crispy pearls, and edible image of Baby Tuk Tuk (available starting
Feb. 22 at
Dino-Bite Snacks).
- Mighty
Mist Soft-Serve – Twist of strawberry and vanilla soft serve with blue-tinted white chocolate-
dipped waffle cone rolled in sparkling sugar (available starting Feb. 22 at Anandapur
Ice Cream Truck).
And it gets even sweeter! As a Disney Parks Blog exclusive debut, here is a “foodie inspired” clip from the new film introducing Boun, the self-styled “owner, manager, chef, and captain” of his boat, the Shrimporium.
Don’t miss “Raya and the Last Dragon” releasing simultaneously in theaters and on Disney+ with Premier Access on Mar. 5, 2021.
