Disney World always has new, fun food offerings for special occasions, so it should come as no surprise that WDW will be offering fresh culinary concoctions throughout the resort for its 50th Anniversary. But Disney is going way bigger than slapping the 50th Anniversary logo on a cupcake and calling it a day (although, you’ll also be able to eat that as well). Disney Parks Blog has announced that Disney World will debut over 150 new food offerings for the 18-month-long 50th Anniversary celebration.

Here’s a look at some of the special food and beverages will be offered during Disney World’s 50th Anniversary.

Appropriately, there are a ton of cute easter eggs and nods to WDW’s history, so I’ll be breaking down all the Disney World references and calling them out as I find them throughout the menu in bold italic text.

Magic Kingdom 50th Anniversary Food

Disney World 50th Anniversary Desserts - Food Guide - Magic Kingdom Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies

  • Uncle Orville Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Sundae – Chocolate and vanilla soft-serve, brownie pieces, hot fudge, and whipped cream topped with red, white, and blue sprinkles served in a “bathtub.” (This, of course, references Walt Disney’s Carousel of Progress, and the bathtub bound Uncle Orville)

Be Our Guest Restaurant

  • Squids Revenge Drink – A michelada with a salted rim and garnished with charred octopus and cucumber. Watch out, the giant squid is back! (This is a nod to the defunct attraction 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, whose lagoon once stood where Be Our Guest and Seven Dwarfs Mine Train now reside).

Casey’s Corner

  • Pressed Penny Silk Pie – Chocolate tart shell, silky chocolate filling, sweet whipped cream, and a chocolate-pressed penny (This refers to the pressed penny machines found throughout Disney World. A great collectible, and one of WDW’s cheapest souvenirs!)

Cinderella’s Royal Table

  • Royal 50th Celebration Flight – Flight of Enchantée Champagne – a blend of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunière (Enchantée Champagne is sold exclusively at the Walt Disney World Resort)

Disney World 50th Anniversary Desserts - Food Guide - Magic Kingdom
