A review of TEN of the finest drinks WDW has to offer. My wife disagrees with the order, but we agree on the selections!
10. MYSTERY DRINK (O'Hana, Polynesian)
Ok, we start with a mystery drink. It comes in a pineapple. It's got 151 in it, which you can't taste, pineapple juice, and, that's all we can think of. But...it comes in a pineapple! The downside, it's really expensive. (PRICE: approx. $15.00)
9. Cherry Coke (Sci-Fi Dine In)
It's just a Coke with cherry syrup and a cherry. Hard to find these anymore, and this one is made perfectly. Best part, free refills! (PRICE: $3.09)
8. Milkshake (Sci-Fi Dine In)
I recommend the chocolate. This is the best milkshake I've ever had. The atmosphere makes it even more enjoyable! (PRICE: $4.29)
7. Orange Creamsicle (Barefoot Pool Bar, Polynesian)
Basically, the Frozen Sunshine (See Below), with some vodka. The taste of vodka is not noticed. This is a great drink, with a little kick :animwink: This would rank higher if it weren't so expensive. (PRICE: $9.99)
6. Kungaloosh! (PI - RIP)
Not sure what's in this thing, but it's good. Part daquari, part nostalgia, all good. "We lov'em!" (PRICE: Moot
)
5. Smart Watermelon (Cool Club)
If you can make your way across the sticky floors, grab a Dixie cup of this stuff. It wasn't there last time I visited, sadly. There was a family of 6 huddled around the machine with a resort mug, perhaps they've run it dry? This stuff is good. (PRICE: FREE!)
4. Coton-Tini (T-Rex)
So my wife got one of these on our first visit to this place. They take a martini glass, and they put in a big, fluffy piece of cotton candy. Then, they pour over the cotton candy a full glass of martini of your choice (5 variations). Excellent presentation, and, who am I kidding, cotton candy + liquor = happy people. (PRICE: $9.99, but you keep the shaker!)
3. Mojito (Polynesian)
Bias warning: I am a huge Mojito fan. That said, there are two places in the World that serve excellent Mojitos. The first location is Bongos. When you dedicate an entire outside tiki bar to the drink, it's going to be good. The second location is the O'Hana bar at the Polynesian. Maybe it's the atmosphere, but I don't think so. The mint to sugar ratio is just right. A little pricey, if I could afford it (financially or physically), I'd listen to the eukele and drink these Mojitos all day long! (PRICE: unknown)
2. Frozen Sunshine (Beaches & Cream)
If you've never had one, this thing is unbelievable. Basically, it's orange and vanilla bean ice cream, seltzer, milk, whipped cream, and little orange-shaped candies (best as I can reverse-engineer). They pour it in a glass and give you the milkshake cup! Folks, these things are outstanding. I'll warn you, they generally don't let you order them to go (unless they're really slow), so you'll probably need to wait the 45 minutes for a seat. It's well worth it. :slurp: (PRICE: $4.99)
1. TINKERBELL TWIST SLUSH(Sleepy Hollow, Liberty Square)
I'll admit it. I'm embarrassed to order it. In fact, I used to make my wife order it for me :lookaroun. This drink is a combination of sour apple and watermellon slush. That's it. But, on a hot day, this is the best thing in the World. It's not even quenching, really. In fact, plan on shelling out another $2.50 for a Coke, or asking for a water with it, because it will probably make you more thirsty. However, it's worth it. This drink is absolutely incredible! Give it a try next time! (PRICE: $3.29)
