To celebrate the release of Walt Disney Animation Studios’ new film, “Wish,” a lineup of new treats is coming to Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Paris.
‘Wish’-Inspired Treats
Starting today, November 22, guests at Walt Disney World Resort can find a variety of “Wish” themed treats across property, including the Wish Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa at Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs.
Over at Disney’s Contemporary Resort, the Ready to Sparkle Cookie is available from Contempo Café, featuring golden star sprinkles and a square image of Valentino and Star on top.
The So Many Wishes non-alcoholic beverage can be found at various locations throughout Walt Disney World starting today. It can be purchased alongside the Wish Star Sipper — which we found at EPCOT.
Finally, starting Friday, November 24, guests taking part in the Holiday Cookie Stroll at the EPCOT International Festival of the Holidays can get the Star Cookie as their completer treat. This cookie can be obtained from the Holiday Sweets & Treats Holiday Kitchen after collecting all five Holiday Cookie Stroll stamps in your Festival Passport.
Starting November 29, guests at Disneyland Paris can enjoy the Twinkle, Twinkle Treat. Featuring passion fruit and milk chocolate set atop a coconut biscuit and served with mango coulis, “Wish” fans can order this dessert exclusively at Walt’s – an American Restaurant.
‘Wish’
“Wish” is an animated musical comedy that uses a mix of traditional and 3D animation. The film follows Asha (Ariana DeBose), a sharp-witted idealist who makes a wish upon a star that changes the fate of her entire kingdom. Alan Tudyk voices Valentino, Asha’s friend and a talking goat. Chris Pine voices King Magnifico, the ruler of Rosas and the film’s villain. Also starring are Angelique Cabral as Queen Amaya, Victor Garber as Asha’s grandfather Sabino, Natasha Rothwell as Asha’s mother Sakina, Jennifer Kumiyama as Asha’s best friend Dahlia, Evan Peters as Simon, Harvey Guillén as Gabo, Ramy Youssef as Safi, Niko Vargas as Hal, Della Saba as Bazeema, and Jon Rudnitsky as Dario. The latter seven were each inspired by a different dwarf from “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.”
The film is directed by Chris Buck (“Frozen,” “Frozen II”) and Fawn Veerasunthorn (“Raya and the Last Dragon”) from a script penned by Buck, Allison Moore (“Night Sky”), and Walt Disney Animation Studios Chief Creative Officer Jennifer Lee (who also worked on both “Frozen” films). According to its directors, “Wish” will feature several legacy nods to films from the Walt Disney Animation Studios library.
Asha actually debuted in the “Once Upon a Studio” short film honoring 100 years of Disney animation, which is now available to stream on Disney+. Asha appears near the end of the short and takes Snow White’s hand as they sing “When You Wish Upon a Star.” The song is an appropriate choice for Asha as “Wish” tells the origin story of the wishing star.
An Asha meet and greet opened at EPCOT this month and opened at Disneyland today, Wednesday, November 22.
