    Edy’s is partnering up with Disney’s Pixar to release four new ice cream flavors that celebrate Pixar’s classic animated hits “Toy Story,” “Finding Nemo,” “The Incredibles” and “Monsters, Inc.”

    The limited-edition flavors can be found at participating stores (such as Publix and Meijer) now, but they won’t be around forever, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy these yummy additions to the Edy’s family.

    First, there is Coral Reef Orange and Cream, which pays homage to “Finding Nemo.” The light orange and vanilla sherbet include the sweet addition of little chocolate fishes.

    Then, there’s Cookies and Scream, a yummy cookies n’ cream combo that is a nod to “Monsters, Inc.” It’s made with light vanilla ice cream, chocolate cookie pieces, a fudge swirl and little Mike and Sully chocolate pieces.

    And then there’s Jack-Jack Cookie Crumble, which is a combo of light chocolate and vanilla ice cream mixed with chocolate cookie pieces and little chocolate masks (to mimic the superhero masks worn by the characters in “The Incredibles”).

    Last but not least is Edy’s new Chocolate Peanut Butter Toy Chest. Made with light chocolate ice cream and a peanut butter swirl, the dessert is made even more decadent thanks to chocolate “Toy Story” pieces that are filled with peanut butter.

  • ‘Moana’ Inspired Dole Whip Float Now Available All Day At Walt Disney World

    ‘Moana’ Inspired Dole Whip Float Now Available All Day At Walt Disney World

    The Moana inspired Dole Whip float is now avaiable all day long at Disney World!

    This yummy treat takes its inspiration from the Kakamora who are a savage tribe of pirates, donning armor made of coconuts, that Moana and Maui encounter on their voyage in Disney’s 2016 animated feature film Moana.

    The Kakamora Float is Coconut soft-serve served on top of pineapple juice and non-alcoholic blue curaçao syrup topped with a chocolate Kakamora cake pop as you can see below:

    The Kakamora Float was first introduced exclusively for Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but the delicious treat was so popular it’s sticking around even after the party is over.

    The Kakamora Float costs $6.99 at Aloha Isle in the Magic Kingdom and we’re guessing will only be available for a limited time.
