Walt Disney World Resort continues to provide more surprises as they prepare for the company’s 100th anniversary.
They have already announced a new nighttime show with Spaceship Earth at EPCOT, a unique popcorn bucket at Magic Kingdom, and enhancements to Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, and other character costumes. However, there are two more Disney Resort experiences to add to the list for the Disney 100 celebration.
New Character Surprises
Guests staying on property at Disney World Resorts may run into some of their favorite Disney characters even outside Magic Kingdom or another theme Park. Throughout the 100th anniversary celebration, Goofy, Donald, Pluto, and other friends will make surprise visits throughout the many Walt Disney World hotels. Although character meet-and-greets at Disney Resorts are nothing new, they will don their special platinum outfits for frequent visits this year. Guests will never know who, where, or when they will pop up!
New Food Arriving At Disney Springs
Walt Disney World’s 100th-anniversary celebration doesn’t stop with meeting classic characters at their famous resorts in central Florida. Starting next month (May 1, 2023), Guests at Disney Springs can stop in at Amorette’s Patisserie, where they can get, for a limited time, the Disney100 Petite Cake. This unique treat contains layers of vanilla chiffon, berry mousse, and berry compote, all topped with a signature Disney100 Medallion macaron.
According to Disney, this is just one of many delicious dishes debuting this year as part of the celebration throughout Walt Disney World. During an interview with Disney Parks blog, Chef Amanda described the thought process behind the unique treat.
“The culinary team has the wonderful opportunity to use food for storytelling,” Chef Amanda said. “We get to make special themed treats that bring Guests into the story, letting them feel immersed in a tangible and very delicious way. The inspiration of this cake pulls from the rich purple and platinum colors used for the Disney100 celebration. The drapery on the sides of the cake represents the traditional bunting that adorns Main Street, U.S.A. for special occasions. And of course, Mickey Mouse is proudly represented on the front of the cake because as we all know: ‘It all started with a mouse.’”
