Take a Closer Look At The Roarsome Treats at the Rivers of Light Dessert Party
Here at MickeyBlog we love a good dessert party! We think they’re the perfect way to enjoy a bit of VIP treatment, sample delicious and creative Disney treats and enjoy incredible sightlines for some of your favorite evening shows!
Our MickeyBlogger was on the scene yesterday having a totally roar-some time at the Rivers of Light dessert party and snagged some awesome images of the amazing food and drink you’ll find at this event.
Let’s take a look!
The Rivers of Light Dessert Party takes place at the Rivers of Light Asia Viewing Area terrace entrance.
This Dessert Party location is just across from Expedition Everest – Legend of the Forbidden Mountain.
The Dessert Party is open for about 90 minutes during which guests can enjoy an impressive spread of beverages including alcoholic and soft drinks!
We’re huge fans of the Asian Chai Tea made with Absolut Citron Vodka, Sweet-and-Sour and Chai Tea!
There’s also the Tiger Lily made with Bacardi Superior Rum and Strawberry With Orange, Lime and Pineapple Juice.
These Tiger Cake Push Pops had to be one of our favorite treats of the night!

And these stunning Chocolate Pots De Creme were almost too beautiful to eat!
The Pineapple Bars were a lovely (almost Dole Whip) flavored taste of the islands!
There were even mini green tea cakes fashioned after Animal Kingdom’s iconic Tree of Life.
The Lotus Blossom cupcakes added a stunning splash of color and pay homage to Rivers of Light!
The Yoghurt Panna Cotta was another highlight and came doused with honey and topped with coconut almonds!
For those looking for a light bite, cheese and nuts were available.
As well as a nice selection of seasonal fruit!
Last but not least there was a wide array of Mickey cookies in stunning exotic patterns.
Here’s a quick look at the drink station featuring iced tea, water and juice.
