Another delectable Adventureland treat are the egg rolls from the egg roll cart. I have yet to enjoy one of these delicacies and the day I went on this particular photo trip, the cart wasn’t even open yet! Someday, I will try one of these tasty tidbits.

The Sunshine Tree Terrace is the place to find your citrus swirl, a once extinct Disney classic that made a comeback in the spring of 2012. The citrus swirl is a swirl of frozen orange juice and vanilla soft serve ice cream. If a pineapple Dole Whip isn’t for you, maybe the Citrus Swirl is a better fit. Also available at the Sunshine Tree Terrace is the the classic Orange Bird souvenir cup!

The best smelling snack in Adventureland are the cinnamon nuts. I am not a nut eater but the smell as I walk by the cart gets me every time. This cart area also offers popcorn, sodas and fresh fruit.

Tortuga Tavern, the only counter service restaurant in Adventureland is only open seasonally and the menu has been know to vary a bit. The most recent menu can be found on AllEarsNet.

As you can see there is plenty to snack on in Adventureland and it is home to two classic Disney treats the Citrus Swirl and the Dole Whip. What is your favorite Adventureland snack? Leave me a comment and let me know.

Next week’s post will be full of topiaries, this week I want to focus on the rest of the festival. We ventured into the Festival Center where we always must first have a moment of silence for one of our favorite extinct attractions…Cranium Command, then we were free to check out the new festival merchandise and catch part of a seminar on how Disney decorates the parks for Christmas!

We also visited two of the new “try it” kids areas, Radiator Springs and The Land of Oz.

Radiator Springs is a Cars themed play area that featured a playground, a garden of car parts and an area with pictures of car parts for you to look for in the garden.

The Oz play area included games of chance, fun house mirrors, a hot air balloon photo op, a playground and an ice cream sand”witch” cart! The area was beautiful and  fun respite for kids who needed a break from gazing at flowers.

Of course, this is the Flower & Garden Festival so there are 4 of my favorite flower pictures from our visit.

The other new addition to this year’s festival were the Garden Marketplaces and Festival Farms which were located around World Showcase, think mini Food & Wine Festival.  There were several new food choices available and I think the favorite Garden Marketplace was the Pineapple Promenade sponsored by Dole. Here you were able to purchase Dole Whip and other pineapple foods and beverages in Epcot. Jordan was very excited about this and even wore his Dole Whip shirt to celebrate.

We always enjoy the Flower and Garden Festival and I am sure we will spend a few more days there before the Festival ends on May 19th.

Kyle & Jordan sharing a Dole Whip

Dole Whip is the quintessential, must-have snack of every trip to the Magic Kingdom. What is Dole Whip you ask? It is a soft serve pineapple sorbet available at Aloha Isle in Adventureland. It is available in a cup or as a float with pineapple juice. Most Disney die-hards that I have spoken to are split 50-50 on which is better, but I prefer it in a cup. I like Dole Whip so much I dressed as a cup of Dole Whip for last year’s Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party!

Have you tried Dole Whip? Do you like the float or cup better? Leave me a comment and let me know.

After the parade we had the opportunity to meet with some of the servicemen who were the parade Grand Marshals and it was refreshing to hear the say that being in a Disney parade was a real exciting moment for them.

Part of the fun for the day was being able to spend some time with some of my bloggy friends Suzannah, Amanda, Shellie, Leigh and of course Laura from Disney. While chatting on Twitter we had discovered that Shellie had never had Disney’s delectable treat…the Dole Whip. We decided that once our media duties were complete we would head to Aloha Isles and introduce her to the refreshment she had missed for years. Leigh created a video of our exploits and I want to share it with you. Do you love Dole Whip? Pineapple or Orange-which is your favorite? Have you NEVER tried a Dole Whip? Why not? Leave me a comment and let’s chat about Dole Whip.
