REVIEW: Get in the Holiday Spirits with Maple Bourbon Eggnog at Disney Springs

The Polite Pig is serving up a cup of cheer over at Disney Springs with their new Maple Bourbon Eggnog.

A boozy bit of fun, even for those who may not love eggnog, this cocktail is not overly heavy on cream or very thick. It goes down smooth, with the bourbon and eggnog playing equal companions to each other as long as you remember to stir every so often. Also, while a straw is provided, don’t skip out on the cinnamon and brown sugar rim, which adds a unique tang we’ve found nowhere else at Disney Springs.

Make sure to try this festival glass while it lasts. The eggnog will be available until the end of December.

REVIEW: Gingerbread Churro Balls are a Perfect Disney Springs Seasonal Snack

With all the holiday offerings at Disney Springs, it’s hard to find a treat that tickles the seasonal seeking tastebuds without also leaving you in sugar coma. Four Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck, parked near World of Disney, has found just the right balance with their warm and freshly fried Gingerbread Churro Balls and, upon the time of review, there wasn’t even a sign letting you know they were there!

Formed in quarter-size round nuggets, the gingerbread is rolled in sugar, sprinkled with a dash of powdered sugar, and served with a side of cream cheese frosting for your dipping pleasure. Though sweet, they never overpower on their own, leaving the cream cheese to add an extra buzz if the eater so desires. Crunchy on the outside yet soft in the middle, the balls are an excellent texture and just the right size for sharing or pairing with a cup of coffee.

Though one might think a chocolate or confectionary shop would host the best seasonal snack at Disney Springs, leave it up to this barbacoa food truck to ring in the holiday the right way. Just don’t forget to ask if you don’t see it on the menu!

Price: $6.38 (including tax)
