They're signature, and you want them (there's a thing called a DoleWhip - Pineapple soft serve ice cream with pineapple sauce or something delicious -- that you can only get in Adventureland at MK or on the Dole plantation in Hawaii that is SO GOOD but.. so absolutely terribly bad for you) but might kill you. I've heard the butterbeer and pumpkin juice are kind of the same thing. You love them, you want them, but you know how sugar'd up you're gonna be afterwards. But totally worth it!

Good to know that we made the right choice! My dad and I were speculating on that — how we felt like if it weren’t a frozen drink the sweetness would be cloying instead of tasty.

Looks like that'll be a great place for me to start, and then hopefully I can somehow figure out how to make it into a frozen blended drink without 'sploding my kitchen. Wheee experimentation!

Oh nerts, looks like I'll have to go back again to experience the part I missed! ;) You know, I thought about that in hindsight — that they would have added stuff for the wait line and whatnot.

Check it out (at least the line) next time you're down here.

Heck, I'd go anyway- even if I didn't "get" any of the stuff. My friend Erika is a Harry Potter nut and made her own butter beer.... I remember her posting it on her blog a while ago. This was the recipe she followed: http://bakingdom.com/2010/11/butterbeer-oh-yes-friends-butterbeer.html She also advised me to tell you that it makes too much cream for on top and you can get away with half of what it calls for. :) Just looking at this makes me WANT to be a Harry Potter fan!

I am excited to go back again, even though I let my annual pass lapse...oops. I'm glad you tried the frozen butterbeer vs. non-frozen. The non-frozen just sits in your gut and makes you crampy and nauseous haha. I totally have not tried the pumpkin juice! Must do that next time. And I know you mentioned not riding the dueling coaster, but WHEN (not if, lol) you come back, you must! The walk to the actual embarking point is pretty awesome!!
