Today we're going to take a look at another one of the tasty cocktails on Disney's standard drink menu for 2013, the Citrus Infusion.

DFB Mini-Guide to Animal Kingdom and Disney's Hollywood Studios Snacks

One of the most useful tools I took along with me on a recent trip to Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom was the Disney Food Blog's Mini-Guide to Magic Kingdom Snacks. With the ebook's pdf file loaded on my iPhone, the kids and I always knew where to head for the most delicious and cost effective snacks available. All the information I could ask for and then some was right at my fingertips, and that's a good thing because we used this reference a lot. I only wished I had one to use on our day at Disney's Hollywood Studios.

Disney Cocktails: Godiva Liqueur Flight

Last October I saw this cute little Godiva Liqueur Flight on Disney's cocktail menu. I had wanted to try them, but shots of anything really aren't my thing, in fact I can honestly say I had never before "done a shot" of any sort of alcohol. I was purely a sipping wine and cocktails sort of girl. However, I loved the look of the shapely little glasses, and the bright strawberries sitting on top appealed to me.
