Disney4me Posted Monday at 08:18 PM Report Share Posted Monday at 08:18 PM The latest treats at Disney World seem to be fit for a king! Regal meal! With all of the latest buzz surrounding Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King feature film in theaters, we figured it was only a matter of time until we saw the movie reflected in the Disney World parks. We knew to anticipate a few new treats coming (with one we already were raving about) but no one could have prepared us for the tasty journey we were about to embark on! An exclusive line of eats and treats has taken Disney World with a thunderous roar! We recently ventured out across Disney World to hunt down and try these newest snacks. Most of these snacks can be found at several restaurants in Disney’s Animal Kingdom. Disney’s Animal Kingdom So, we set out on a mid-day adventure to sample these latest additions to the menus and see if they’ll be worth your time to pick up, too! When we arrived we couldn’t ignore the call of our raging sweet tooth so it was off to Creature Comforts first! Creature Comforts is the resident Starbucks inside Disney’s Animal Kingdom and in addition to their familiar coffees and decorative drinks, they’re known to be a popular location for limited-time snacks and seasonal sweets. Creature Comforts Here is where we picked up the Mufasa Pride Rock Profiterole for $4.79. It’s a small treat made of cream puff filled with chocolate cream and whipped coffee ganache. Mufasa Pride Rock Profiterole Don’t let its tiny size fool you — this treat knows just how to be the leader of the pack! Sure it’s smaller than we would have liked but the inside of the profiterole is what really made this puffy treat. When you cut it open, the chocolate cream bursts out of the puff pastry casing and it is delicious! So goopy on the inside It doesn’t have a very heavy chocolate flavor to it and almost was more whipped than mousse-like in consistency. This flavor was complimented well by the light coffee-flavored whipped ganache that felt more like a whipped icing. The chocolate crisp pearls also helped provide a fun crunch to the bite and the white chocolate medallion was printed with the iconic Pride Rock where The Lion King roars from. You’ll want to eat it with a fork The only fault we could find with this treat was that we wanted it to be larger so its sweetness lasted longer than a few bites but we think it will be a hit with adults and kids alike. As we went about our day we decided we really should treat ourselves to something of a little more sustenance for lunchtime. Our search led us to Harambe Market! You can either wait in line to order at the window or place a mobile order for your meal and come to the middle window once the app shows your order is ready. Harambe Market We couldn’t get past how beautiful the Sunrise Of The Kingdom looked put together. It’s made of a blend of Freshly Brewed Green Tea, Strawberry, and Minute Maid® Premium Lemonade topped with Passion Fruit Boba Pearls for $6.49. Sunrise Of The Kingdom Honestly, it really wasn’t anything super special but the mixture of the ingredients in this one really worked for what they wanted to achieve for this drink. We were able to pick up the subtle notes of the green tea but most of the drink held strong to the strawberry and lemonade flavors. The passion fruit boba pearls were a fun fruity addition to the top but we’d recommend either swirling your drink around if you want a popping surprise every now and then with your sip or scooping them up with a spoon for a flavor explosion in your mouth! The Savory Tanzanian Pie was next up on our list! This dish was made of African-spiced beef and lamb stuffed in naan, drizzled with spicy ketchup, and served with house-made chips for $13.29. Savory Tanzanian Pie The entree itself seemed a bit pricy to us until we took our first bite! The meat pie was a hearty mixture of sauce, spices, and chewy bits of beef and lamb made all the better by the spicy ketchup drizzled on top! Just the pie We were shocked at how well it held its form and the naan bread was perfectly toasted to give it a taste and consistency like pizza crust surrounding the pie’s contents. Half of the pie It’s served with a side of house-made chips which tasted a bit stale but their saving grace was that they were tossed in spices which gave the chips a salty yet spiced zing to them! Spiced house-made chips It truly was almost a perfect movie-themed lunch! With critics already singing the praises of Disney’s newest film it’s clear that the choices made for its accompanying snacks and treats needed to be of the same quality. While there was a little room for improvement, we would totally have reordered everything we tried today time and time again.
