But don’t let it overwhelm you, we’ve got you covered with everything you need to know. And now we’re heading to Refreshment Outpost — to give you the FULL scoop! Is it worth a try? Let’s find out! Menu This year, the Refreshment Outpost is serving up a couple of plant-based dishes, some new brews, and a returning drink. 2025 menu Now that we’ve taken a look at the menu, let’s dive into the food itself! Time to visit Refreshment Outpost! Jamaican Beef Patty featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef with spicy papaya syrup (Plant-based) Seasonal Fruit Parfait with sweet chili sauce and DOLE Whip Mango (Plant-based) pic.twitter.com/8BsdKHAjio — Disney Food Blog (@DisneyFoodBlog) March 5, 2025 Eats First up, we grabbed the Jamaican Beef Patty featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef with spicy papaya syrup for $6.75. Last year, this dish was at La Isla Fresca and was a Best of the Fest! Jamaican Beef Patty featuring IMPOSSIBLE Beef with spicy papaya syrup This year, the Jamaican Beef Patty remained outstanding! We found it to be stuffed — arguably even overstuffed — with filling in the best way, all with delicious papaya sauce on top. Yuuuum One note about this dish: it is spicy! In fact, it may be something that’s too spicy for many visitors. Honestly, we’d recommend skipping if you have any sensitivity to heat. That said, if you can handle a little heat and a lot of seasonings and flavors, the balance between the rich, savory filling, the delicious flaky crust, and the sweet, spicy papaya syrup is just perfect, and this may be ideal for you. The other dish at Refreshment Outpost this year is another plant-based item, the Seasonal Fruit Parfait with sweet chili sauce and DOLE Whip Mango for $7. Seasonal Fruit Parfait with sweet chili sauce and DOLE Whip Mango This dish first debuted in early 2024 at the non-Festival Refreshment Outpost, and it stuck around for the 2024 EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival. This year, it’s one of the dishes you can buy for the Garden Graze food crawl. Pretty We were pleasantly surprised at this parfait. The mango DOLE Whip gives an intense, concentrated mango flavor that complements the Tajin, making for a really pleasant and balanced flavor. The fruit inside was just… there. They didn’t add much to the treat, but didn’t take anything away from it either. Drinks The Boyd & Blair Lavender Martini is back on the menu again this year for $12. Lavender Martini: Vodka with lavender and lemon This drink is made with Boyd & Blair Potato Vodka with lavender and lemon, and has been around for a few years. New to the Refreshment Outpost this year are a few news beers and hard ciders. The beers are the Crooked Can Brewing Company Pollinators Paradise Lager and the Gulf Stream Brewing Humble Bumble. A new cider rounds out the drinks for 2025 — the Keel Farms Strawberry Hibiscus Hard Cider, all for $12 a pop. OVERALL We really liked everything about Refreshment Outpost this year. While our highest recommendation would be for those looking to avoid meat or animal products, honestly, we’d go as far as to say that even those who are usually carnivores should make it a point to stop by!
