Greetings, Rebecca, and a warm welcome back to
planDisney! Or should I say, a cool welcome back? You might be asking this question with little ones in mind, but as an adult, I do love those Goofy Glacier slushies just as much. I don't love the brain freeze that comes with them, however. Thanks for asking your question. Let's give this a whirl!
Like you, I've been reading about research that indicates glycerol might not be safe for younger kids, so I totally understand why knowing the ingredients is important to you. I can share that Disney does a great job with
dietary needs. That being said, suppliers and ingredients can change, so it's best to check with a Cast Member before you make the purchase. Often, they have access to the ingredients list and can check to see if glycerol is included. Also, please know that ingredients can change based on location. So, it can't be assumed that whatever you find at one location is true for all others.
I know this isn't the definitive answer you were hoping for, yet I have some other ideas to help you beat the Florida heat as well. From ice creams to sorbets to shakes to fruit bars, there is no shortage of frozen desserts to help keep you nice and cool. There's also my personal favorite, Dole Whip. As with the slushies, you'll want to check with the Cast Members at each location to make sure glycerol isn't included.
Rebecca, I hope this has been helpful to you and that you'll be able to find a glycerol-free slushie to enjoy. Have a wonderful trip to
Walt Disney World, and visit us again if you have any other planning questions we can help with.
Let your dreams guide you!
Melanie
