Creator's Key Takeaways
The Carousel of Progress is officially closed at Disney World. Disney hasn't announced an official reopening date, but has said to expect a reopening in 2027.
The vanilla and strawberry cake layers are light and fluffy, and the buttercream has a hint of cotton candy flavor without being overpoweringly sweet.
The coconut raspberry cake for $6.49 was unfortunately a miss. The cake was dry, the frosting had a bitter flavor, and the raspberry filling only made it taste even more sour.
