The Drop Off Pool Bar
We got to sip on a St. Patrick’s Day-themed drink called the Good Luck Charm. It’s made with Svedka Vodka and Baileys Irish Cream Liqueur, blended with vanilla ice cream, and topped with fresh whipped cream and cookie ears for $14.
Let’s just say that this drink made us forget that the Shamrock Shake ever existed. We are in LOVE.

All-Star Movies Food Updates
World Premiere Food Court
Who’s up for some Encanto-inspired treats? We ARE! There’s a Mirabel Cupcake, which is a Cinnamon cupcake stuffed with custard and topped with coconut buttercream and toasted coconut, and Mirabel-inspired fondant garnishes for $5.79. It’s super delicious and kinda’ reminded us of coffee cake!
There’s also a Luisa Push-Up Cake Pop made with layers of vanilla cake and tres leches pastry cream, all topped with a donut “boulder.” This treat, which costs, $5.29, was delicious, but it’s kinda weird in push-up cake form. Kids will love it, though!
Finally, we tried the Encanto Cholado for $6.99. This treat is made with Crushed ice topped with sliced fresh fruit, sweetened condensed milk, and shredded coconut. It’s VERY refreshing AND it looks really cool. See?
All of these treats are available for a limited time RIGHT NOW, so be sure to check them out!
