Friday Favorites – Best Disney World Cocktails
For today’s Friday favorites, I would like to share with you my picks for the best Disney World cocktails – the Grey Goose Lemon Citron Slush and the Grand Marnier Orange Slush. The Grey Goose Lemon Citron Slush is like “grown up” lemonade. It is a tangy combination of frozen lemonade and Grey Goose Citron Vodka. The Grand Marnier Orange Slush is a sweet mix of orange, rum and Grand Marnier. It is like a tasty orange dreamsicle with a kick! Each of these yummy concoctions come in two sizes; 8 ounces for about $9.00 (excluding tax) or 12 ounces that includes an extra shot of the drink’s headliner liquor (Lemon Citron Vodka or Grand Marnier) for about $16 (excluding tax). To try one of these yourself, head over to the Vins de France kiosk in the France Pavilion at Epcot. They are a great way to cool off on a hot summer day. I hope you enjoy it!
So there you have it…my picks for the best Disney World cocktails – the Grey Goose Lemon Citron Slush and the Grand Marnier Orange Slush!

Throwback Thursday – Disney Style!
My mom & I in Magic Kingdom a long time ago!
Here’s a little “Throwback Thursday” Disney Style for your enjoyment today!
Back on October 1, 1971, Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World in Florida opened with only 26 attractions. They were Jungle Cruise, Swiss Family Treehouse, Sunshine Pavilion (now Enchanted Tiki Birds), Cinderella’s Golden Carrousel (now Prince Charming Regal Carrousel), Dumbo The Flying Elephant, Mad Tea Party, Mickey Mouse Revue, Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride, “it’s a small world”, Snow White’s Adventures, Diamond Horseshoe Revue, Frontier Shooting Gallery, Country Bear Jamboree, Mike Fink Keel Boats, Hall of Presidents, Haunted Mansion, Main Street Horseless Carriage, Jitney, Fire Truck, Horse-Drawn Streetcar, Omnibus, Main Street Cinema, Walt Disney World Railroad, Skyway, Tomorrowland Speedway and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
The general admission cost was $3.50 for an adult, $2.50 for a junior (ages 12 to 17) and $1.50 for a child (ages 3 to 11). Your general admission ticket only got you in the park though. Back in those days, you had to buy tickets for the individual attractions. That is where the expression “E-Ticket” came from, for all of you young people out there! For around $4.00, you could purchase a 7 Adventure Book that gave you one A, one B, one C, two D and two E tickets.
Here’s how the attractions lined up back in 1971:
