You Can STILL Score This Drink Discount in Disney World…But It’s a Little Different Now!

Ya’ll know that Wine Bar George is one of our go-to spots in Disney Springs!

The Basket at Wine Bar George

And, now that the shopping and dining district is back open, we’ve been SO excited to get some flaming cheese at the restaurant and a Froscato next door at The Basket!

Even though we’ve told you all about those AWESOME Corkcicles available at The Basket, one of our favorite discounts at the quick-service stop is looking a little different nowadays.

Yellow Corksicle

You usually can get a refill of your pick of a frozen drink like Froscato, Frosé, or Freaujolais (choosing is so hard!!) for $10 after you’ve purchased a Corkcicle (usually $13). The Basket used to refill your cup directly and give it back to you. However, with the recent health and safety procedures at Disney Springs, The Basket is now putting refills in a plastic cup instead of directly in your Corkcicle!

New Corkcicle Procedure

Of course, you can pour the drink in yourself, but this prevents any extra cross-contamination between guests and The Basket. Since you have the option to just drink straight from the plastic cup, we asked if you can just bring your receipt from your Corkcicle to get the discount, but no dice. You must bring your Corkcicle and show it to the cashier to get the discount. Hey, we’re just happy we can still get our Dole Whip slush on!

Read all about the disappearance of the newest Corkcicle at The Basket here!

NEWS! Refillable Popcorn Buckets Are BACK at Disney Springs!

If you know us, you KNOW that chowing down on some classic Disney snacks are an essential part of our day!

Popcorn in Disney Springs

And while we’ve spotted Mickey pretzels, popcorn, and Dole Whip at Disney Springs since it reopened earlier this month, one HUGE thing was missing… refillable popcorn buckets.

Well, we are happy to report that refillable popcorn buckets are BACK, baby!!!

Popcorn buckets for sale at Disney Springs

We spotted the refillable Mickey birthday popcorn bucket on sale at a Disney Springs popcorn stand today. It’s available for $12.00 and refills are just $2.00.

And, yes, the popcorn stands will refill your popcorn bucket right now. When we went snacked around Disney Springs earlier this month, the cast member handled our bucket as little as possible, wiped down the handle, and, of course, filled our bucket with tons of buttery, salty popcorn!

Refillable Popcorn Bucket

These may not be the most mind-blowing popcorn buckets compared to something like the Millennium Falcon buckets we found at these carts earlier this year, but it’s a step in the right direction! So if you don’t have a refillable popcorn bucket yet, you can buy one yet again at Disney Springs!

Are you excited that refillable popcorn buckets are BACK at Walt Disney World? Sound off in the comments!

And Then There Were None! The NEW Corkcicles at Wine Bar George in Disney Springs Are Sold Out!

Disney merchandise comes and goes, especially when Disney Springs has just reopened to guests!

Disney Springs

Although we’ve already seen the Minnie Mouse: The Main Attraction collection sell out lightning fast, another fan-favorite has disappeared from the shelves!

When we visit Wine Bar George’s The Basket, we love picking up a Corkcicle to keep our frozen drinks chilly — in the cutest way.

The Basket at Wine Bar George

Although new colors roll out pretty frequently (hellooo, Neon Pink Corkcicle), they are subject to availability since the restaurant only gets a limited amount.

And, today, we had to bid adieu to the new teal and lime color block Corkcicle at The Basket (cue our tears)! Although it was only there for a short period of time, a Cast Member informed us that she doesn’t know when OR IF they will be restocked.

New Corkcicle

BUT, The Basket still has other Corkcicle colors available like white and hot pink! So, you can still a new sipper and your choice of a Frozcato, Frosé, or Freaujolais while you’re there!

And, while you’re visiting, you’re definitely going to want to check out the “Fries and Frozen” duo you can mix and match (you get an ENTIRE pound of fries with your purchase!).

Disney Recipe: Make These “Up” Inspired S’mores for Movie Night

From Mickey beignets to Totchos, there’s no shortage of fun new Disney recipes to whip up in your kitchen. And now, Disney has released the recipe for a fun twist on s’mores that’s almost (keyword: almost) too cute to eat!

While you may be spending more time at home these days, adventure is out there even in your kitchen with these Up-inspired s’mores from Disney Family.

These sweet treats mimic the look of the iconic My Adventure Book from Up, and they’re pretty much the ideal thing to make before having a fun Disney+ movie night at home.

Ingredients:

  • 12 large, rectangular graham crackers
  • 1-2 tsp vegetable oil (optional)
  • Your favorite homemade marshmallow recipe
  • 6 peanut butter candy melts
  • 1 Tbsp each of purple, red, blue, and white icing
  • 12 oz. of chocolate bar or chocolate candy coating, melted
  • Red fruit leather or fruit tape
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp each of tan, yellow, orange, and black icing
  • 7 piping bags fitted with #1 or #2 tips (for each of the colored icings), 1 piping bag fitted with #44 tip (for the white icing), toothpicks

Directions:

  • Make the covers. Using a serrated knife, cut 2 inches off the length of each graham cracker. The remaining cracker should be 2 x 3 inches. Dip each cracker in melted chocolate, thinning the chocolate with oil if needed. Allow to set.
  • Create the binding. To create the book binding, cut out a 2 x ½-inch strip of red fruit leather. Use a dab of melted chocolate to attach this on the left side of each “book cover” cracker.
  • Make the marshmallows. Make the marshmallows according to your favorite recipe. Pour the marshmallow mixture into a 9 x 13-inch pan heavily dusted with powdered sugar. Fill the pan evenly to a depth of ½ inch. Allow to set. Use a long, thin knife brushed with oil to cut out 6 rectangles of marshmallow, each measuring 2 x 3 inches.
  • Decorate with details. Use the tan colored icing to draw square and circular borders on each “book cover.” Flat side facing up, attach a peanut butter candy melt chip under the text area. Use black icing and a toothpick to lightly draw the shape of North and South America. Write “My Adventure Book” with colored icing fitted into piping bags. Pipe a black icing ribbon tie atop the red fruit leather “binding.” To finish, pipe a thick line of white icing “tape” on the top left side of the globe.
  • Enjoy your s’mores! Place a cut marshmallow in between one “book cover” graham cracker and one plain, chocolate-dipped graham cracker. You can toast the marshmallows or just enjoy them plain.

After you make these decorative s’mores, make sure you take a few photos for your personal Adventure Book! And if you’re feeling inspired, then you can try your hand at more s’mores-inspired recipes like these Mickey S’mores Cupcakes and the S’mores Bake from the now-defunct Big Thunder Ranch Barbecue in Disneyland.

Just make sure no matter what s’mores recipe you make, that you remember to have fun!

Review! We’re Making a Transaction at Sprinkles’ Cupcake ATM in Disney Springs

Happy Friday, friends! You made it through another LONG week!

Sprinkles Cupcake ATM

And we think you deserve a special TREAT! Let’s head to Sprinkles in Disney Springs to do a little caloric “banking!”

Sprinkles announced yesterday they would be reopening their Disney Springs location today but there’s a catch — they aren’t allowing walk-ins right now, which means you have to order your cupcakes in advance! (All of this is easy enough to do on their website, btw!)

Sprinkles in Disney Springs

But don’t worry if you lack cupcake foresight — there’s a delicious and easy solution: use the Sprinkles Cupcake ATM! This wonderful piece of machinery works just like a regular ATM, but instead of dispensing moola, it dishes out Sprinkles Cupcakes!

Just place your order on the touchscreen, swipe your payment, and VOILA! A perfect little brown package magically appears in the window!

See photos of what it’s like to dine at Disney Springs right now here!

And what’s inside this mystery box, you ask? Why, a Sprinkles Cupcake, of course! Delivered right to you WITHOUT ever having to ever step foot inside the store!

Sprinkles Cupcake

The cupcake flavor we picked up today is called Sprinkles! Gee, we wonder why?

JK — it’s pretty obvious! Check out what this fun guy’s got goin’ on with his frosting and all those rainbow-colored sprinkles!

Wanna pig out with us? Check out The Polite Pig’s new snack HERE!

Its flavors are truly CLASSIC! While we always appreciate Sprinkles’ more off-the-wall flavors like Flamin’ Hot Cheetos or Watermelon Mojito Cupcakes, this one simply reminds us of a nice, thick slab of yellow birthday cake! Plus the sweet, rich buttercream was super YUMMY!

Sprinkles Cupcake

You can access the Cupcake ATM while the shop is open and their cupcakes cost $4.95 to $5.95 depending on which flavor you get! Not sure about you, but we’ll be making A LOT more of these transactions in the months to come!

Check out some of the other snacks we’ve been FEASTING on at Disney Springs this week here!
