Disney World’s Red, White, and Blue treats are back, and here’s what I tried

Disney World brought out a bunch of red, white, and blue treats for the season, and I did my best to try as many as possible. Limited edition snacks are on of my favorite parts of exploring the parks. They’re always so fun and creative, and I had a blast taste testing all of them.

USA Mix Popcorn

First up- the USA Mix Popcorn. It has blue raspberry popcorn with M&M’s, mini marshmallows, sprinkles, and a white chocolatey drizzle.

This ended up being one of the biggest and BEST surprises of the day. Even the people with me who don’t usually like blue raspberry didn’t want to try it at first. Then they had a handful and couldn’t stop eating it.

The blue raspberry flavor wasn’t overpowering, but you could definitely taste it. My favorite bites were the ones with the mini marshmallows because they just went so well with the popcorn. We had leftovers, but the kids found them the next day and finished the entire bag before anyone else could.

Patriotic Mickey Cinnamon Roll

This oversized Mickey-shaped cinnamon roll is topped with bright red, white, and blue icing and is available at several Disney resort hotels.

Ours came warm from the hot case, and that’s definitely the way to eat it. The center stayed soft and gooey while the outside became a little firmer as it cooled. It was still really good, but I’d recommend eating it while it’s warm.

Fourth of July Cake

This dessert was advertised as a strawberry and lemon mousse with confetti cake inside a hard chocolate shell, all sitting on top of a buttery crust.

The strawberry and lemon flavors both came through really well. The strawberry was more of a layer inside than blended throughout, while the lemon balanced everything nicely.

For me, the chocolate shell was a little too thick. I also wished there had been more confetti cake because I couldn’t really tell where it was. The crust on the bottom was one of my favorite parts, and I actually would have loved a thicker layer of it. I enjoyed trying this one, but it was rich enough that I couldn’t eat much. The rest of my group really liked it.

Sam Eagle Star-Spangled Shortcake

This dessert comes with vanilla cake, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, whipped cream, and a Sam Eagle chocolate coin.

Mine didn’t have the star sprinkles that were supposed to be on top, and it looked much messier than the photo Disney released, but the flavor more than made up for it.

The berries tasted fresh, and the mix of strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries worked perfectly together. Even with all the fruit and sauce, the cake somehow didn’t get soggy. There was a huge amount of whipped cream, which the kids happily ate by itself. I probably would have preferred a little less fruit and sauce, but overall this was one of the best desserts I tried.

The 1776

The 1776 is a non-alcoholic drink made with blue raspberry, Sprite, and strawberry fruit juice-filled pearls.

This was perfect on a hot Florida afternoon. I expected it to be much sweeter than it actually was. The Sprite kept it light, while the blue raspberry added flavor without being too crazy sweet.

Disney also loaded the bottom of the cup with strawberry pearls. Drinking it through the oversized straw meant you’d get a burst of strawberry every few sips, which made it even more fun to drink.

Sam Eagle Popcorn Bucket

I also picked up the limited-edition Sam Eagle popcorn bucket celebrating America’s 250th anniversary.

It’s a really cute souvenir, and it comes filled with Disney popcorn, which is still one of my favorite snacks in the parks. If you’re already planning to grab popcorn, this is a fun bucket to bring home.

Patriotic Summary

Overall, I thought this was a fun collection of patriotic summer treats. The lineup had a nice mix of sweet desserts, shareable snacks, and a refreshing drink, making it easy to find something for everyone!
