This is a fabulous and entertaining recipe book! The author offers photos and detailed information about the Disney parks themselves as well and the origin of the drinks covered. I can't wait to try various recipes with my grandsons; they will be sure to enjoy making and drinking them! Thank you to Netgalley for this free ebook in exchange for an honest review.

I really enjoyed this Unofficial Disney Parks Drinks recipe book! The few recipes I have tried so far have been delicious! The recipes have easy to follow steps and beautiful pictures accompany them.

My only complaint is that some of the ingredients have proven difficult to find or there are just a lot of ingredients involved that I wouldn’t use often and would have to buy just for the drink.

I really appreciate the large variety of drinks included in this cookbook and would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a way to experience the Disney parks drinks without being able to travel there!

I really enjoyed this book of unofficial Disney drink recipes. The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book by Ashley Craft had more drinks than I could possibly imagine.

It started off with the history of drinks and alcohol at the Disney parks. At first, I did not think it would be that exciting, but it was actually quite fascinating.

I loved that it included recipes for all the different kinds of syrups. Something I have always been fascinated by, but I have never made. Then there was a great selection of all the different drinks that Disney has to offer. Honestly, there were so many I had never heard of and I thought I will have to hunt them down the next time I am at Disney World. I am excited to be able to recreate so many of the drinks I love in the comfort of my own home, and of course a fraction of the price.

As with most cookbooks or similar books that I review, I always wish there were a lot more photos.

I think I would prefer a hard copy of this book, and I do plan on buying myself a copy.

I received an eARC from Adams Media through NetGalley. All opinions are 100% my own.

I’m a huge Disney parks fan and love how these books are coming out! I will say I was skeptical of this book because my husband and I do not drink but most of the drinks do not feature alcohol or have non alcoholic versions. I was pleasantly surprised by this! My biggest struggle with this book is knowing how some specialty syrups and items may be needed to make our favorite drinks and we are the kind of family that doesn’t have most of these around and also has limited stores around us to find different syrups and special items. That was my biggest struggle with this cook book but it is definitely fun for anyone who enjoys drinks at Disney! It’s also good to remember that this is an unofficial cook book.I really appreciated the history added to the front part of the book.

Thank you Net Galley for the opportunity to review this book!

I love traveling and visiting the Disney Parks especially for the food and drinks. This cookbook does not disappoint because after you've been to the parks and you've found that drink you love, most likely you won't be able to enjoy until your next visit. For me I have made several different drinks out of this book with my most recent one being the Cinderella Latte. I made it yesterday and it was absolutely amazing! I believe the next one I'd like to try is the Peter Pan Float which is a favorite for me inside Magic Kingdom. I highly recommend this book if you too have that favorite drink and you want to recreate it at home until your next trip.

I enjoyed learning all the background information behind the history of drinks at Disney parks. It just felt very wordy and I found myself skimming for interesting bits. I wish there were more pictures of the drinks in the first several pages since the actual pictures of drinks didn't start showing up until after the syrups. The only other thing I would like would be a glossary of terms or notes at the sides explaining less common terms/terms the beginner mixologist wouldn't necessarily know. Like muddle, I have an idea what you mean when you say that but I don't know if that's what would get the same result as what you mean. I would totally check this out from my library and possibly buy it for a friend that's super into Disney Park's food and drink but I don't think I'd want to hold onto it myself.

How I wish to taste every single drink in this book! I truly love this kind of subjects about Disney Parks(Wich is one of my dream travel) and I'm looking foward to try some of these recipes in here! Good Job, guys!

This is a fun book. I enjoyed making the moon milks and am making a few others to share with Disney obsessed coworkers at our next in office retreat. I appreciate that the majority of these recipes are non-alcoholic. They would be great to serve at a baby shower or at any party where you will have kids and non drinkers. Many are very very sweet. I'm not sure how similar they taste to the "real thing" but everything we tried was tasty and relatively easy. You don't need major cooking skills to make many of these. There are a few that require additional baking/cooking skills, but are mostly in the dessert drinks chapter. You will need some odd ingredients that can be easily sourced through Amazon or through your local coffee shop. Overall a fun book that I will use at least 2x a year.

Just incredible recipes. I WISH this book had been around when i was pregnant looking for non alcoholic drinks! A true treasure trove of fun!!
Thank you to Netgalley and publishers for the free e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

I can’t recommend this book enough. I love this book. It has recipes for drinks that are served at most Disney Parks and some of their Resorts and at Epcot. It has drink recipes from a Cinderella Latte to Canadian Apple Slushy and with or without alcohol. The book tells which ride or area the drinks are from and also in the back it has a map listing where you can find the drink. Again I would highly recommend picking this one up you will definitely impress your friends.😊

There is not enough drink recipe book! This is so much fun, especially since most of those have no alcohol in them. Which is very rare in drink books which have a tendency to all be about cocktails.
This book is about re-creating an experience. I've never been to Disneyland in America so I can't compare, but I love being able to taste it from a distance! My only criticism is that there isn't many pictures, I would have definitely liked more, especially the ones with a more elaborate topping and presentation. Also the recipes are very sweet so you might want to cut down on the sirups even if it makes them a little different from the park. Warning: Many of the recipes have very American ingredients, and I am not sure they can be found in supermarkets all over the world.

Amazing!! I have the cookbook and now I’m obsessed with the drink recipes!! There is an AWESOME mix from all over the parts. I especially like all the new Star Wars drinks (blue milk whaaaat)?! It’s nostalgia and memories of Disney without leaving the comfort of your home. You may not be able to afford the new annual passes, so this book is perhaps a much more affordable option! Can’t totally erase the ambiance of the Parks, but this recipe books comes close! Laid out nicely, easy to read, definitely recommend! I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

I'm a big cocktail buff and a sucker for all things Disney, so this book was right up my alley. It gave me terrific ideas for creating non-alcoholic drinks too. Pictures were bright and attractive. (The only con is that not everyone could probably afford to get all of the cocktail accessories at once.) Fabulous ideas, though!

A great, comprehensive book with delicious recipes. Some of these are easy, and some are quite complex. The recipes are easy to follow, and the book does a good job of giving the syrups, etc at the beginning of the book. Most times, the recipe will call for a syrup that you have already made in advance. I love that the book ended with an index of drink as they correspond to the park maps. This is really helpful as my family is planning a park trip next month.

I admit I never reviewed a recipe book and it was great fun! I live near Disney World and now I know how to mix some of my favorite drinks. Love that Ashley tells you how to make the various syrup is right in that beginning of the book. Also the background history was interesting and not long winded. One does want to learn how to mixed the drinks, right! Now the problem is which one to try after I make the Dole whip, The pictures are a great visual aid, but maybe a few more would nice.
Thank you NetGalley for this ARC. I am voluntarily posting an honest review after reading an Advance Reader Copy of this story.

Thanks to NetGalley and Adams Media for the digital copy of the book in exchange for an honest review. In times of pandemic one way to travel without leaving the house is through food and beverages. This book is great to transport you (back) to Disney. The book's layout is beautiful. It has beautiful pictures of some of the drinks. It covers from cocktails to dessert drinks, so there's something for everyone's taste. I also loved they included a standard US/Metric measurement conversion table, that will definitely be very useful to me. Now I must check out The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook.

This book was a page turner from beginning to end. Do you want a taste of Disneyland without making the trek? This book is amazing. It will allow you the ability to make amazing drinks in the comfort of your home, and maybe even play with some modifications depending on your dietary needs! I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

THANK YOU Adams Media for the ARC to read and review.

Well, I didn't think you could top the Unofficial Disney Cookbook, but I was wrong. I felt quite giddy when I saw The Unofficial Disney Park Drink Recipe Book was available for preview. I have been trying to perfect the Jedi Mind Trick cocktail from Oga's Cantina for a while now with internet recipes. Guess what's in this book. Uh Huh! Jedi mind trick. Did I make it immediately? Yes. Is it really good? You betcha!

This book is for Disney mega foodie fans. There is a short history of food and drink in Disney Parks that is excellent. A supply list is noted for everything needed for the kitchen and pantry to make these drinks.

I was pleased to see that the majority of these drink recipes are non alcoholic and span all Disney parks worldwide.
