Disney4me Posted May 11, 2024 Report Share Posted May 11, 2024 Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are celebrating all things Pixar now through August 4th at Pixar Fest! You can enjoy special parades, fireworks, characters, and all-new food booths! The booths are all inspired by Pixar films and you don’t want to miss them! The Spark Booth The Spark inspired by Soul is one of the six brand new booths at this year’s Pixar Fest, and if you’re a fan of soul food and beer, this is the booth for you! Let’s go check it out! Menu The Spark inspired by Soul menu is drink-heavy with just two food items — and the food and drinks are new for 2024! The Spark Menu You’ll find Supper Club Chicken & Potato Waffles, Half Note Jazz Cake, The Great Beyond, the SPARK-ler, and four beers you can purchase individually or try them all in a beer flight! Full Spread except for the beer First up you can check out the Supper Club Chicken & Potato Waffles for $8 with peach cobbler sauce and cinnamon-herb crumble. So, yes, this is an odd combo and some people didn’t seem to enjoy this. However, we think it’s worth trying. The chicken is like chicken nuggets, but the potato waffles are cooked perfectly (we just wish there were more). The crumble adds a nice crunch. We appreciate what Disney was going for here, but it’s too sweet for chicken. Supper Club Chicken & Potato Waffles And for dessert, a traditional red velvet cake named the Half Note Jazz Cake for $7.25. THIS is worth visiting this food booth for. It’s incredibly moist and melts in your mouth. You might think that red velvet cake needs a thick layer of cream cheese frosting, but let us tell you, this was perfect. The icing adds the perfect amount of sweetness. Plus, the keyboard icon is so adorable for this booth! We will be ordering this again, for sure. Half Note Jazz Cake Two drinks and four beers round out the Soul-inspired menu! First up we have The Great Beyond for $18.50 made with gin, maraschino liqueur, violet & blue curaçao syrups, lemon juice, and pear nectar topped with butterfly pea flower tea and garnished with a white orchid. The Great Beyond It’s pretty, that’s for sure, but we feel like we paid nearly $18 for a watered-down drink. We mean, it’s refreshing with a strong tea flavor, but it doesn’t have any kind of kick, although it does have a strong bitter and tart aftertaste. The Great Beyond Next is the SPARK-ler for $13.50 made with cotton candy & blue curaçao syrups, mango purée, and pineapple & lime juices garnished with a glow cube. SPARK-ler Why is this non-alcoholic drink almost $14? The glow cube, that’s why. However, we didn’t think the flavors really blended together at all. You can taste each one and it’s like eating a whole bag of Gushers at once. It’s not bad, but it’s tart and sweet, and there’s just way too much going on here. Maybe kids will like it! SPARK-ler And then, there’s the beer! You can sample them all in the Inspirational Flavors Flight for $18.50 or each individually. Dust Bowl Brewing Company Porch Punch Imperial Fruit IPA ($15.25) Ballast Point Brewing Company Grunion Pale Ale ($14.00) Bottle Logic Brewing Aurora Borealis Honeydew-Lime Hard Seltzer ($15.25) Garage Brewing Co Prickly Pear Hefeweizen ($15.25) Inspirational Flavors Flight Of course, we gave the flight a try! The Porch Punch didn’t have much hops or actual beer flavor. It’s fruity and tart with hints of a malty flavor with a pleasant fruity aftertaste. Like its name, though, it does pack a punch with 10.4% ABV! Porch Punch The Grunion Pale Ale tastes similar, but the fruity flavor isn’t as strong. This one is drier and more tart. We’d say it tastes more floral than fruity. Grunion Pale Ale The Honey Dew Line Hard Seltzer has a lovely sweet honeydew flavor. It’s like a sweet fruity soda. Although it’s pretty strong (8% ABV ), we couldn’t taste the alcohol. The aftertaste is also sweet and pleasant. Honeydew Lime Seltzer Finally, the Prickly Pear Hefeweizen has a strong pear odor, but it tastes nutty with hints of pear. So you’ve got a smooth fruity and nutty beer with a nutty aftertaste. Prickly Pear Hefeweizen Overall, these beers could please even non-beer drinkers. OVERALL The Spark inspired by Soul booth is probably not where you want to go for drinks, but we’ll be eating that cake every day while it’s still available. So maybe come for the cake and skip the drinks. Stay tuned for more fun from this year’s Pixar Fest at Disneyland! To see ALL the details about Pixar Fest 2024, CLICK HERE!
