Hi Jenny!
I cannot resist a Walt Disney World specialty drink, and love the magic that a glow cube or souvenir cup adds. When dining, ask if there's a glow cube on the menu, because if they have glow cubes, you can usually add them to any drink at a small additional cost.
I checked in with my fellow panelist and Queen of the Glow Cubes, Kristen N., who shared her recent glow cube finds. Availability can't be guaranteed, and offerings change all the time, so part of the fun will be
glowing out there and searching - make sure you sing "at last I see the light" when you find one!
At Disney's Animal Kingdom, find a seed pod glow cube at Pongu Pongu in Pandora – The World of Avatar and a gorgeous lotus blossom glow cube at
Thirsty River Bar & Trek Snacks, located near the entrance to Rivers of Light.
In Disney's Hollywood Studios, a Star Wars glow cube (Millennium Falcon or Death Star) may be available at Backlot Express. I would expect to see more Star Wars specialty items as we get closer to the opening of Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge, so check the drink carts around this park. At The Hollywood Brown Derby, Kristen found a super cute derby hat glow cube; check at their lounge to see if this is still around.
On kids' menus around the theme parks and resorts, there's often a Specialty Character Drink with a character clip-on light; I've seen Buzz Lightyear and Tinker Bell, and I've heard Lightning McQueen may be available. My kids and I got Ariel and Pascal clip-on lights at the Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at
Trattoria al Forno, and Pascal is one of my very favorite souvenirs.
Have
glow much fun on your glow cube hunting adventure!
Wishing you a magical vacation,
Robyn
