Take the Toad Burger , which makes a bold statement on any plate . The burger was created to honor Mr . Toad ’ s Wild Ride , the much-beloved and sorely missed Fantasyland dark ride . You can find the Toad Burger at the Friar ’ s Nook , and I ’ m sure it will develop the same kind of devoted following among Disney fans as the ride from which it draws inspiration . The standard beef patty has been replaced with a brat burger ; add a couple of stuffed olive eyes and a jumbo pickle slice for a tongue and this WILD-looking burger is all set for your Instagram feed .
I ’ m most excited about the Korean Short Rib Flatbread ( Korean barbecue shredded beef , mozzarella , and red cabbage slaw drizzled with spicy ginger mayonnaise ) available at Pinocchio Village Haus . This dish draws culinary inspiration from “ it ’ s a small world ” and highlights the big flavors of Korean BBQ . In talking with Chef Edson , we learned that throughout the 18-month celebration , new flavors of flatbread will debut , highlighting different nations found on “ it ’ s a small world .” Give your tastebuds a global experience , and check this dish out on your next visit .
SWEET TREATS The 50th anniversary party brings a multitude of options to satisfy your sweet tooth . For guests looking to share their dessert , I strongly suggest the Cheers to 50 Years ! It ’ s chocolate and vanilla ice cream , brownies , cupcakes , cookie crumbles , pretzel rods , and hot fudge topped with whipped cream , EARidescent sugar , and a Mickey Pretzel drizzled with caramel and chocolate icing . Say that five times fast !

You ’ ll find this shareable sundae ( Disney recommends 4 to 6 people ) at The Plaza Restaurant , and I ’ d wager this new dessert could give the famous Beaches and Cream Kitchen Sink Sundae a run for its money . I love the salty contrast mixed into this sundae from the pretzel rods and Mickey Pretzel . The EARidescent sugar and decorative sprinkles are the perfect complement to the special 50th decor you see in the parks .
For a more modest ice cream treat , pick up the Uncle Orville Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow Sundae ( chocolate and vanilla soft-serve , brownie pieces , hot fudge , and whipped cream topped with red , white , and blue sprinkles served in a miniature bathtub ). You remember Uncle Orville — everybody ’ s favorite animatronic uncle enjoying a bath during Carousel of Progress . In all honesty , the inspiration
