50th Anniversary Foodie Guide to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Hop on the monorail next time you’re at the Magic Kingdom to head over to Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa for even more 50th anniversary magic! This flagship Walt Disney World Resort hotel is offering special menu items, new sweets and treats and more all for “The Most Magical Celebration on Earth.”

One of our favorite Walt Disney World restaurants to stop at for a lovely brunch experience, the Grand Floridian Cafe has a special new dessert on the menu just for “The Most Magical Celebration on Earth.” The 50th Anniversary Vintage Minnie’s Brown Betty Profiterole is a crunchy-topped cream puff filled with one of Walt’s favorite flavors of cinnamon-spiced apples and Chantilly cream. It sounds incredible, and when paired with garden-side views and the Victorian theming and decor that make Grand Floridian Cafe a unique experience, we just cannot wait to give it a try!

For a new grab and go option at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa, head over to Gasparilla Island Grill, the resort’s quick service dining location. There you will find the 50th Anniversary Mickey EARidescent Cupcake. This special treat is a vanilla cupcake filled with lemon curd topped with blueberry mousse and enrobed in an EARidescent glaze- It’s almost too pretty to eat!

On top of the new sweets and treats at the resort, Guests visiting this holiday season will find the return of the fan-favorite life-sized gingerbread house display in the lobby. For more 50th anniversary specials, you may just happen to find some of your favorite characters strolling through the resort grounds. And, your transportation to and from Walt Disney World theme parks may be even more magical with wrapped buses and monorails departing from Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort and Spa daily throughout “The Most Magical Celebration on Earth.”
