This book was so fun! I love the little bits of Disney trivia interspersed throughout the book. I also really appreciated that the author listed where each drink could be procured at the park, and had maps at the end! IT was really thoughtfully laid out.

Some of the recipes involved making something from a previous recipe in the book, and those just struck me as a bit too labor and time intensive for the at-home chef. Maybe if you were making a big batch for a group, but to just make one drink...not so much.

Overall the photos were great and there were plenty of helpful tips and tricks listed. It would be a great gift for any Disney park enthusiast! Or even for a family with kids who are looking for fun new mocktails.

If you love Disney Theme Parks drinks, this is the cookbook for you! It has a huge variety of drink recipes. The recipes are simple to follow and the pictures of some of the drinks are gorgeous. I liked how there was also some background information before each drink recipe as well. Some of the recipes call for an ice cream machine, which I do not own, so that was a little disappointing. Overall, it’s a splendid little cookbook. Thanks to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of the arc in return for an honest review.

I requested this book because I’ve loved Disney cookbooks as gifts for friends and wanted to see if this one was worth while.

Overall, I expected there to be significantly more in the way of cocktails, but it would be easy enough to add (or remove) alcohol from any of the recipes.

The early section has a number of fun syrups that I’ll definitely want to add to my rotation. Overall, this seems like a great cookbook for Disney lovers and I plan to purchase once it is available.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book by Ashley Craft is an amazing cookbook. The drinks are organized into six parts: lemonades/fruity drinks, slushes, coffee/tea/hot chocolate/cider, mocktails, cocktails, and dessert drinks. There are drinks for every age and for every preference it is easy to find the recipes you want. Some of the drinks have ingredients that are slightly hard to find, which is not the author’s fault, but once you have the ingredients the recipes are also easy to follow. Most of the recipes have beautiful photos that accompany the recipes.

Craft’s Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook already holds a special spot in my kitchen. I can’t wait to be able to buy a hardcopy of this cookbook to add to my collection.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the opportunity to read this book for an honest opinion.

I expected more alcoholic beverages. It was odd because there were sections for “mocktails” and also “cocktails” but there were also other categories and all those ones were also actually mocktails and alcohol free .Some would even randomly say “virgin” drink or some sort implying that one was alcohol free while most were. It all just seemed odd and misleading

I am loving this book! There are so many recipes to try that are so close to the ones at the parks! I love too that drinks I was curious about (like BLUE MILK), I now know if I would like it! There are some syrups at the beginning that you will want to make ahead of time. Also cool nuggets of trivia are interspersed.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book is a Disney inspired drinks book with recipes developed by Ashley Craft. Due out 5th Oct 2021 from Simon & Schuster on their Adams Media imprint, it's 224 pages and will be available in hardcover and ebook formats.

What an exuberant and fun book full of creatively concocted drinks. The layout is easy to understand and the drinks themselves are colorful and inventive. The introduction includes a lot of background info (including some neat trivia about themes and concession placements at Disney parks, origins and inspirations for drinks and other facilities, and a little history. The author has included a good beginner primer on bar tools and supplies. The drinks recipes (and there are a plethora) are arranged thematically: lemonades & fruity drinks, slushes, coffee tea hot chocolate & ciders, mocktails, cocktails, and dessert drinks.

Recipes have an introduction and explanation including some history, ingredients in a bullet point list, followed by step by step mixing directions. Ingredients are given with American standard measurements only (no metric). The ingredients will mostly be accessible at any well stocked grocery store ( -or liquor store for the boozy ingredients), although there are some ingredients which are more exotic and will require more diligence to acquire (such as dry ice). The drinks as pictured in the book are photographed in Disney proprietary glassware, though the author lists alternative presentations and serving suggestions. Roughly 25-30% of the drinks are accompanied by color photos.

There are a lot of very attractive recipes included here and the author has even included extensive colorful maps in an appendix, showing the locations of vendors in Disneyland, Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, and others. It would take a concerted effort to visit all of the theme parks and try all the drinks, but now it's easy to make them at home.

Five stars. Definitely one for the foodies.

Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.

Yes! Finally a book on disney park drinks that I can taste and savor! Being from Hawaii, travel is expensive on top of an already expensive Disney vacation so this is perfect!

This has been the most fun recipe book I've gone through, maybe ever. If you want a taste of Disney Parks, either for nostalgia's sake, or for pretending you're on vacation, then you need to pick up this book! It is very accessible, and offers plenty of drink options from seasonal to every day, mocktails to cocktails, and hot chocolate to fancy milkshakes. There's bound to be something in here you like. A lot of the recipes have similar base ingredients, like pineapple juice or coconut cream, so with a few ingredients you can conquer a lot of recipes. On the flip side, a lot of recipes have very specific ingredients, like flavored syrups that you'll likely either have to buy special or make yourselves-which I think is still worth it when you find the drinks you like!

I've tried about 10 of the recipes so far and they've all been fantastic, with some favorites being the Lava Smoothie, Sultan's Colada, Kiama Mama, Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake, and the Hyperdrive. The coolest part of the book is that Craft tells you where you would find each of these drinks on the Disney properties, and there are even maps at the end that highlight exactly where.

Highly recommend if you're a Disney fan of any sort, like to try new recipes, are looking for something fun to do and make with your friends or family, or want to pretend you're on a fun vacation.

Thanks to Netgalley and Adams Media for the e-ARC.

This is a pretty cool collection of drinks that would be great for small get togethers and parties. I also liked that it had a map of places at the park to find them. Can't wait to try some of these.

I really enjoyed this book. I am a big Disney fan and this book was a lot of fun. It had recipes for every Disney drink I could think of and then some. I will definitely be purchasing this book for myself, as well as my friends who are Disney fans too!

I have been to both Disney World and Disneyland, and have plans to go to Disneyland Paris in December, so I absolutely love Disney parks and everything you can do them including all of the creative food and drinks, What I really liked about this book is that it also included drink recipes from the Disney Resorts, so there are an abundance of options to choose from when you can't be at a Disney Park or Resort. There were so many drinks that I haven't been able to try that I will be able to make at home, and also that I will be on the look out for the next time I am in Orlando or Anaheim!

This recipe collection was quite extensive. I really appreciated the variety. It was all clearly presented and well explained.

Very nice book! I don't usually get the drinks at Disney as much as the snacks and other food but I enjoyed reading these recipes. They're copycats of the drinks you can find around all the Disney properties (parks and resorts). The drinks are very fun and colorful and they all look very appealing. A great gift option for Disney fans.

I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

This is a cute book, but didn't quite sit right with me.

This book is full of Disney-inspired drinks including cocktails and sugary shakes. There are some great pictures of some beautiful drinks. The names of some of the drinks are questionable and while I get the author was trying to be clever some seem to miss the mark. Some of the drinks are also very time intensive! Some of those shakes require a lot of ingredients and some of the recipes have hard to find ingredients. I did like the Star Wars drinks for the most part.

There's also a map in the book that points to where there are drinks inside the Disney parks.

While Disney is open again, that doesn’t mean that everyone is willing to head there right now. We’re not, so I thought this would be a great way to bring a little flavor of the parks home. While I was hoping for the Tropical Mimosa from Disney’ World, no such luck in this book. But there are so many other great recipes that I will be busy trying them out when my daughter is here. A great book for Disney lovers!

MY DISNEY HEART !!!!!!!

I cannot wait to try every single one of these recipients!

I miss my weekly Disney trips before COVID and now I can have a piece of that at home with me!!

This is the BEST

This made me want to hop on a plane to the happiest place on earth! I loved reading through this. I especially loved the additional tidbits of history and the additional disney parks fun facts. Some drinks are very unique and some are simple and tasty!! I will definitely be adding the hard copy of this to my other unofficial cookbooks! A fun and whimsical and MAGICAL 5 stars from me:)

The Unofficial Disney Parks Drink Recipe Book by Ashley Craft is the book we have been waiting for! I love everything about it. So many recipes for every drink you could want. Coffees, iced drinks, and cocktails galore! If I had to say anything negative it would be that I wish there were more pictures. This is a great guide to making lots of your favorite Disney drinks when you can’t be at the parks.

Thank you to NetGalley and Adams Media for the opportunity to read this book for an honest review.

If you’ve ever been to Disney on holiday you will remember the drinks from the various carts and food outlets.
This book gives you the recipes needed to recreate those memorable refreshments. Easy to follow recipes and a description of where the drink was found in the parks.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to see an arc
