I for sure remember the orange and the grape. I am tickled to see the new Orange Bird sipper. I will have to get one of those next trip.

Orange Bird sippy cups on sale at the Sunshine Tree Terrace!!!!
- Thread starter asianway
- Start date
The grapes ones were not Disney themed so a little more generic. They were sold at Enchanted Grove.
The Orange Bird ones were mostly sold in the 70s, two different Mickey Mouse designs were sold on the oranges in the 80s until they stopped.

I had one of these little guys when I was a young boy during the 70s.... long since lost. I will for sure be purchasing one of these drinks in one of these the next time I am in Adventureland!

In the past they were on all of the time. I believe the torches were turned off in the early 2000's or late 90's...I'm not too sure of the date.

I'm confused as to why they'd cover up the sign if they're still willing to feature the Orange Bird in things for sale? Wouldn't it make sense to have him up on the sign so people who don't know WDW history can be like, "Look at that cute little bird ... oh look, a cute little cup, I think I'll buy it!"

I can't believe people are this excited over sippy cups.
But, to each their own.

Meanwhile, didn't I read that food was supposed to be served there now? Like orange chicken and asian salad? When I went there this afternoon, it was just ice cream and snacks...

If you look very close at the back of the sign, it appears that one of the Orange Bird's little leaf feathers is broken and glued back on. It broke off with the grain of the wood. Maybe they are keeping it covered up temporarily until they can fix that slight but noticeable problem. That's what I'm sensing. :wave:

They did mention that it may have broke off before installing it. But they installed the metal cover as a temporary slip on.. possibly waiting for the go ahead before they can reveal.

Curious. D23 is doing a meet up tomorrow morning at Sunshine Terrace for a surprise. Wonder if they'll unveil the sign.

Excellent news!
No, it's not a big deal, but it is an original character and it is historic for Disney, in Florida. This is something unique to us. Very cool to see WDI/TDO recognizing that and using it to their advantage.

Me too and i believe there were some other fruit shaped cups. I remember getting them at Busch Gardens but I can't remember if WDW had them.
