Tomorrowland’s Newest Mission: The Battle of the Treats
With the recent grand reopening of Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin this spring, Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom has become the center of the galaxy for many families. While the ride’s new handheld blasters and the arrival of the support-bot Buddy have fans talking, there is a new battle brewing just across the way at Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies. Two new limited-time beverages have landed for the 2026 summer season, and they couldn’t be more different.
The Space Ranger Float: A Refreshing Classic
If you are looking for the perfect post-mission cooldown after achieving Galactic Hero status, the Space Ranger Float ($7.49) is the clear winner. This treat brings together some of the best refreshing elements Disney has to offer. It features a swirl of Lime DOLE Whip and vanilla soft-serve, floating in a cup of Sprite. It is topped off with green apple pearls (popping boba), sprinkles, and a themed chocolate piece.
Our take? This is the ultimate Florida summer drink. The tartness of the lime balances perfectly with the creaminess of the vanilla, and the Sprite adds a crisp finish that keeps it from feeling too heavy. If you enjoy the classic citrus profiles found in Adventureland, this Tomorrowland twist is a must-try. The green apple pearls add a fun, interactive texture that fits the playful vibe of the Green Aliens.
The Zurg Overload Shake: For the Sweetest Villains
On the other side of the spectrum is the Zurg Overload Shake ($9.29). This vanilla-based shake is visually striking, featuring a bright red cherry coating lining the inside of the cup, purple marshmallow whipped cream, and a chocolate Zurg medallion. It is designed to be a showstopper, and it definitely delivers on the aesthetic front.
However, be prepared for a serious sugar rush. The cherry coating is thick and sticks to the cup, acting like a candy shell that requires some effort to mix into the shake. The marshmallow whipped cream is rich and adds another layer of density to the drink. While it is undeniably fun for photos and younger Rangers with a major sweet tooth, this is definitely an item we recommend sharing between two or even three people. It is a heavy dessert that might be a bit much if you are planning to jump right back on a high-speed attraction like Space Mountain.
Expert Strategy for Your Tomorrowland Break
When planning your snack stop, keep these expert tips in mind:
- Mobile Order is Key: Auntie Gravity’s can get incredibly busy during the peak afternoon heat. Use the My Disney Experience app to order your treats while you are still in the exit queue for Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin.
- Seating Secrets: There is limited indoor seating at Auntie Gravity’s, but you can often find a quiet, shaded spot near the Tomorrowland Terrace if the main area is full.
- Value Pick: At $7.49, the Space Ranger Float offers a more complex flavor profile and better refreshment for the price compared to the $9.29 Zurg Shake.
Whether you choose the refreshing citrus of the Space Ranger or the villainous indulgence of Zurg, these treats are a fantastic way to celebrate the updated ride experience. Just make sure you have plenty of napkins—things can get a little messy when you’re saving the galaxy!
