We get SO thrilled about new food in Disney World!

Animal Kingdom Lodge

We had a blast hanging out just recently at Disney’s H2O Glow Night Event at Typhoon Lagoon andtrying some new food However we just recently found some brand-new food hiding at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, so we felt it was essential to leave the parks and go attempt it out. So join us as we head to The Mara for some brand-new sweet deals with– and a brand-new beverage!

The Mara is the fast service area at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge. You’ll typically discover enjoyable seasonal deals with here, however in some cases, the desserts alter out, too. Well, the very first thing we observed was that our cherished Nyala Brownie had actually been gotten rid of from the menu. This is the Peanut Butter Brownie we have actually been raving about for several years. We hope it will reverse up … ultimately.

Farewell, Nyala Brownie

In the meantime, however, a brand-new brownie has actually taken its location: the Coffee and Coconut Brownie, which costs $4.99. Yes, it appears like Mickey! It’s a brownie topped with coffee buttercream dipped in chocolate-coconut ganache. Okay, Disney, you have actually got our attention. However is it a deserving follower to the Nyala brownie?

Coffee and Coconut Brownie

The response is “YES!” If you’re not a coffee individual, you can prevent the coffee beans on the top since you do not otherwise get much of a coffee taste. We tasted more of a tip of coconut, however not a lot to subdue the brownie. The brownie itself is really wet, which’s aided with the chocolate and mousse on top. We might consume 10 of these! It’s decadent and chocolatey.

So great

We likewise got The Mara Cupcake for $ 6.29 It’s a yellow cupcake with a POG (enthusiasm fruit, orange, and guava) filling and vanilla and guava buttercream icing. If you’re a POG juice enthusiast like us, you may believe this sounds quite fantastic right? Well, we were dissatisfied since this wound up being a standard Disney cupcake. Then you get to the middle with that filling … and the texture is rough with an offputting taste. How unfortunate!

The Mara Cupcake

The icing is simply routine icing colored green, so your mouth and fingers will likewise most likely turn green as you’re consuming it. The cupcake was wet, however, and if you simply desire a standard cupcake, this might be best for you. For us, well, we anticipated more. The filling was an overall miss out on.

A bit of POG filling?

Successive is the Sunflower Cake for $ 5.99, which is referred to as a marbled chocolate and vanilla cake with vanilla buttercream and chocolate chips. As you can see, it’s rather pretty. However then we discovered that this cake wasn’t precisely as explained.

Sunflower Cake

Inside, we didn’t see any sort of marbling, and the taste was not vanilla. It in fact tasted like carrot cake to us, so we’re not exactly sure what’s going on here. The cake itself is really wet and abundant, however if you get this believing you’re getting a marbled chocolate and vanilla cake, you might be a little stunned. The chocolate chips on top do not do much however include some crispy texture. However yeah, this cake is not how it’s explained, so beware.

Where’s the marbling?

Lastly, we needed to attempt a brand-new beverage. Okay, it’s a POG beverage. We’ve currently had one POG thing let us down, however what about the Enthusiasm Fruit, Orange, and Guava Frozen Slushy for $ 6.29? YAY– it’s actually great since it tastes like POG juice. It’s likewise really revitalizing, particularly on a hot day. However it will likewise melt actually quick on a hot day (nevertheless, it’s still great all melted).

POG slush

Now, this beverage is really sweet, so some may believe it’s TOO sweet, however if you enjoy POG juice (which is likewise sweet), you’ll value this one.

So, should you head to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge for treats? Well, why not? If you currently have an appointment for Boma, for instance, why not pop by The Mara and a minimum of get the brownie for later on? You can even get some Zebra Domes, too.

Stay tuned to DFB for more.
