'Alice In Wonderland' taught us that you don't need to wait for your birthday to celebrate, which is precisely why Walt Disney World has debuted a new Un-Birthday Milkshake. While the treat may come with all the classic birthday fixings, you've got permission to enjoy it on any of the other 364 days of the year.
The Un-Birthday Milkshake is a decadent treat available from The Plaza Restaurant in Magic Kingdom. According to the Disney Food Blog, the vanilla milkshake is made "with an abundance of sprinkles," along with whipped cream and two mini Birthday cupcakes that create the look of mouse ears. The whole thing is then served in a sprinkle-rimmed sundae glass for an extra special un-birthday touch.
With it's new Un-Birthday Milkshake, Disney is finding clever ways to help people indulge year-round.
