Beginning Oct. 1, Disney foodies can sip and savor more than 150 items throughout the 18-month celebration.
“Walt’s personal recipes, Walt Disney World Resort attractions (past and present), beloved Disney Characters, and nostalgic dishes from 1971 were inspirations for the tasty offerings created for this anniversary celebration,” said Karen McClintock, Food & Beverage Content Relations Manager on Disney Parks Blog. “And many of the treats (including the fun EARidescent Sip-a-bration) are infused with EARidescent shimmers to add glimmering touches to the celebratory creations.”
