The Baseline: For theme park to-go food stands the food must be tasty, have an experience, reliable service, and be a part of the experience.
Food: A Schmoozie experience is a sweet experience because you are going to be gettin’ tha suga’! The signature offerings are sweet from the smoothies to the shakes to the Mickey Waffles. This trip I had the Lemon Pound cake shake, Mangonada, and the Mickey-shaped Confetti Waffles. The waffle was warm, crisp, and sweet as advertised. The lemon pound cake shake was lemony (with two actual lemon slices) and again… sweet. The Mangonada was sweet with tequila. If you get beer and coffee you can possibly avoid the sweet but you are not coming to Schmoozies for the coffee.
Service: Used the mobile app to order and the staff gave me a little extra magic on my shake with my lemon Mickey ears. Disney cast members are almost always awesome!
Ambiance: Schmoozies sits on the Hollywood Studios section of Disney California Adventure and feels like it is a part of movie magic and old industry Hollywood. Very easy quick access ordering and pick up.

Read moreBeware if you plan on ordering the seasonal Alpine shake- made with cherry, chocolate chip, & pistachio, it looks NOTHING like the picture and tastes just like a regular chocolate shake. I attached a picture of the advertised shake compared to what I actually received. First, there is no taste of cherry or pistachio. The color of the milkshake is supposed to be pink. However, halfway through drinking it, I realized it was all chocolate. I went to tell one of the staff members and she blew it off and said that it was an old picture it’s not pink anymore. Then why advertise it? Just take it off the menu if you can’t produce the actual product. Also, you can see in the picture it’s half whipped cream. Definitely NOT WORTH $13.28. Come on Disney, get it together. We are already spending an arm and a leg, if I buy a $13 shake I want it to...
Read moreWhat an incredible find! I just had the most amazing cold brew mocha milkshake at Shmoozies, and it was exactly what I needed on a hot day. The drink was perfectly ice-cold and so refreshing. The balance between the rich chocolate and bold coffee was absolutely spot-on—not too sweet, not too bitter. On top of that, the cast member who helped me was incredibly nice and helpful, making the whole experience even better. I can't wait to go back and get...
