Disney4me Posted July 16, 2018 Report Share Posted July 16, 2018 Hello from the Monorail Resorts! Nothing makes us happier than boarding the Monorail on our way to the Magic Kingdom! This time we stopped at each resort along the way and collected a bunch of updates for you! Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort Aloha! If you’re catching the rays at the main pool and need a nosh you can now go to the Barefoot Pool Bar and order food from the Oasis Pool Bar and Grill. This is for a limited time only during the busy season. Polynesian Village Resort’s Barefoot Bar Menu The Barefoot Bar will also at times have a Frosty Pineapple Slush (think a slushy version of the Spiked Dole Whip) here. You won’t find it on the official menu since it isn’t offered consistently. The slush is $11.00 when offered. Cool off with a Spike Dole Whip Slush at Polynesian Village Resort’s Barefoot Bar And speaking of Spiked Dole Whip…grab your Dole Whip with Coruba Pineapple Rum at the Pineapple Lanai! Dole Whip with Rum sign Kona Island Coffee Bar added some more grab and go options including cookies and cupcakes from Captain Cook’s, and Erin McKenna’s gluten-free snacks! Grab-and-Go Items at Kona Island Tambu Lounge is still open (it was rumored to close after July 4). We were told it will now be closing August 5 with a planned re-opening in early November. While Tambu is closed there will be two temporary bars set up to fill the void. During the day the location will be by the windows to the left of the monorail station entrance. At night it will be by the windows of the ‘Ohana waiting area. Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Our next stop was Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort where we found some new treats and merchandise! Next Stop: Disney’s Grand Floridian! Gasparilla Island Grill joined in on The Incredibles fun this summer by adding a Dash cupcake to their menu. Be sure to catch this soon because we’re guessing this will be gone in a flash! Dash in to Gasparilla Island Grill for this cupcake You’ll also find some new wines by the glass or bottle options at Gasparilla Island Grill as well.

Check out these cute summer soaps! Summer Soaps at Basin! Disney’s Contemporary Resort You know our next stop – the Contemporary! It is home to one of our go-to counter service locations – Contempo Cafe, distinctive art work, and great shops! Let’s jump in with what’s happening at Contempo Cafe. New Cupcake at Contempo Cafe Topped with a Mini Macaron They aren’t being left out of the iridescent craze at Contempo Cafe! There are two new sparkly cupcakes available – take your pick – one topped with a mini macaron or one topped with sparkly Minnie Mouse ears. Either one is $5.99 and Disney Dining Plan snack credit eligible.

We absolutely fell in love with all of the new Contemporary Themed Merchandise available at Buena Vista Gifts! You’ve got to get your hands on this stuff! New Contemporary Merchandise We can’t wait to drink out of this AMAZING mug! They picked up on Mary Blair’s style perfectly! New Contemporary Merchandise Check out the back of this mug! Ahh, cuteness overload! New Contemporary Merchandise Plus, they have this awesome hat! New Contemporary Merchandise It features the five-legged goat — an “easter egg” Mary Blair put into her mural to remind us that nothing created by a human is perfect. See if you can find him on the actual mural! He’s hiding… . New Contemporary Merchandise And shot glasses! Seriously, we are going broke here. New Contemporary Merchandise And there’s more – this adorable ornament we are putting out all year! Plus keychains and magnets! New Contemporary Merchandise Not be outdone – Edna Mode has made her appearance on a super-stylish (of course) tote bag Edna Mode Tote She also pops up on this mug and plate set. You can find these in the parks as well. Edna Mode Mug and Plate Set If you’re exhausted after all this eating and shopping there are some new soft and comfy chairs outside of the Fantasia Market Shop by the windows facing the Magic Kingdom. Perfect for fireworks viewing! New comfy chairs in the Contemporary Disney’s All Star Sports Resort We were so excited we already shared with you one of the new items at All Star Sports Resort’s End Zone Food Court – the edible cookie dough! Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cup Yes! You can get your cookie dough fix at All Star Sports Resort for $3.99. We checked and it is egg-free, so dig in friends!

The iridescent and the Stitch cupcake are each $5.99. All Star Sports End Zone Stitch Cupcake Disney is also working on a refurbishment on the back portion of the seating area in the End Zone Food Court.
