8 New Disney World Treats You Need to Try This Summer
Summer is bringing more than just new entertainment and attractions to Walt Disney World. Disney is also rolling out a lineup of colorful snacks and drinks as part of its “Cool KIDS’ SUMMER” celebration, with several limited-time treats debuting across the parks starting in late May.
From Bluey-inspired desserts to frozen drinks and over-the-top sundaes, here are eight new Disney World treats that deserve a spot on your snack list this summer.
1. Bluey Cupcake
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is embracing the arrival of Bluey with a themed cupcake that looks almost too cute to eat.
The colorful dessert features bright blue frosting inspired by the beloved animated pup and joins several Bluey-themed experiences arriving at the park this summer. For families with young children, this will likely become one of the most photographed snacks in Walt Disney World.
2. Bluey & Bingo Ice Cream Sundae
Another Animal Kingdom addition celebrates both Bluey and Bingo with a specialty ice cream sundae. Loaded with colorful toppings and themed decorations, the sundae is designed as a shareable treat for families visiting the park. Given the popularity of Bluey merchandise and character experiences, expect this dessert to become a quick fan favorite.
3. Cotton Candy Lemonade Slushy
If you’re visiting Disney World during Florida’s summer heat, this frozen drink may be one of the best ways to cool off.
The Cotton Candy Lemonade Slushy combines sweet cotton candy flavors with tart lemonade for a vibrant and refreshing beverage. The bright colors alone make it social-media friendly, but the frozen texture may be the biggest selling point when temperatures soar.
4. Campfire Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich
Disney is also introducing a new take on the classic ice cream sandwich. The Campfire Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich combines rich cookies with creamy ice cream and flavors inspired by a traditional campfire treat. Fans of s’mores-inspired desserts will likely want to add this one to their must-try list immediately.
5. Tropical Paradise Float
Disney and tropical flavors go together naturally, and the new Tropical Paradise Float continues that tradition.
Featuring fruity flavors and a refreshing frozen base, this drink offers another option for guests looking to beat the Florida heat while enjoying a classic Disney-style treat. Fans of Dole Whip-inspired flavors may find this one particularly appealing.
6. Cookies & Cream Funnel Cake
Funnel cakes have long been a Disney Parks staple, but this new version adds a decadent twist. The Cookies & Cream Funnel Cake layers classic funnel cake flavors with cookies-and-cream toppings, creating a dessert that feels like a combination of a theme park favorite and a premium ice cream treat. It’s not exactly light, but that’s rarely the goal when it comes to Disney snacks.
7. Berry Blast Frozen Drink
Another new summer beverage arriving at Walt Disney World is the Berry Blast Frozen Drink. Packed with mixed berry flavors and served ice-cold, it offers another colorful option for guests looking for something refreshing between attractions. Disney has increasingly leaned into specialty frozen beverages during seasonal events, and this one appears designed specifically for hot summer afternoons.
8. Summer Celebration Sundae
Rounding out the lineup is a massive Summer Celebration Sundae. Featuring multiple toppings, colorful decorations, and plenty of ice cream, this dessert embraces the over-the-top style Disney fans have come to expect from limited-time seasonal offerings. It is the type of treat that can easily become both a dessert and a photo opportunity.
Which New Disney Snack Will Be the Biggest Hit?
Disney fans love debating new menu items almost as much as they love riding attractions, and this summer’s lineup offers plenty of contenders.
The Bluey-themed desserts will likely attract families, while frozen beverages such as the Cotton Candy Lemonade Slushy and Berry Blast Frozen Drink could become essential purchases during the hottest parts of the day. Meanwhile, indulgent options like the Campfire Cookie Ice Cream Sandwich and Cookies & Cream Funnel Cake seem built for guests looking to satisfy a serious sweet tooth.
The good news is that Disney World visitors won’t have to choose just one. With these limited-time snacks rolling out across the resort this summer, there are plenty of new treats worth adding to your vacation food bucket list.
