Since I’d never been to Everything Pop or even to Pop Century until I stopped in to try The King Cupcake, I figured I should pick up one of their food items for something new.
After perusing the menus, there wasn’t really anything that stood out to me. The fare was primarily standard to counter service restaurants around property: burgers, pizza, pasta, chicken nuggets, stir-fry… I needed to make a decision, though, and decided on the Mediterranean Flatbread served at the Sandwich Station.

Tuesday on Disney Parks Blog, they mentioned “The King Cupcake” being served at the bakery at Everything Pop at Disney’s Pop Century Resort.
We aren’t at Graceland to celebrate Elvis Presley’s birthday today, but you can bet we’re making a beeline to the Bakery Shop in the food court at Disney’s Pop Century Resort at Walt Disney World Resort for an excuse to dig into The King Cupcake, a tribute to the King of Rock ‘n Roll.
Disney Pop Century Resort celebrates pop culture from the 1950s onward, so it’s a perfectly themed dessert fit for, well, a king. One of Elvis’ favorite sandwiches was peanut butter, banana and bacon, so this sweet is a riff on that unusual combo. Even better than a sandwich, this is a moist chocolate cupcake filled with banana custard and topped with a whipped peanut butter icing. And just for Elvis, there’s a flourish of candied bacon and a chocolate Pop Century logo atop.
Cost is $3.99 and counts as a snack on the Disney Dining Plan.
Needless to say, I had to get over to the resort to give it a try!
