food IS a theme park
Disney World is feeding our Mermaid obsession again! What started out as one Mermaid cupcake became TWO Mermaid cupcakes… and SOON we’ll be getting a Mermaid Donut!

The folks at PopSugar had a chance to try this splash-tasic donut. As you can see, it’s for sure another Instagram-able treat from the pastry chefs at Disney. [Read more…]
When I told you about August’s Hot Diggity Dog of the Month at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom I, just like a lot of you, was intrigued. I just had to try this unconventional, cheesy concoction out for you! So at After Hours the other night, I did just that!
Casey’s Corner
This month’s Dog is for all of you fellow cheese lovers out there! The Cheesy Hot Diggity Dog is your choice of a regular or foot-long topped with Cheddar and Queso, and then I’ll say garnished with “Seasoned Cheese Puffs!” [Read more…]
Hi, there! We’re back with another DFB Video today, so get ready to come along with us to the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival Preview!

The Rivers of Light Dessert Party is a new offering in Disney’s Animal Kingdom!
Rivers of Light Crowd and Expedition Everest
Dessert Parties such as the Frozen Ever After Dessert Party and the Magic Kingdom Fireworks Dessert Parties offer guests the chance to enjoy a dessert buffet before taking in a park’s nighttime spectacular in a reserved viewing area.
Rivers of Light is Animal Kingdom’s nighttime spectacular, and while Rivers of Light Dining Packages have been available for some time now (which pairs a meal at a select Table Service restaurant with reserved seating), the Dessert Party is new to the scene! The experience starts with checking at the Rivers of Light Viewing Area directly across from the Expedition Everest attraction. (Your arrival time is set with your reservation — an hour and 15 minutes before the evening’s showtime.) [Read more…]
With so many creative and interesting snacks available at Disneyland Resort, it might seem like there’s no place for the simplest of treats: good ol’ fashioned Jell-o.
But that’s where White Water Snacks steps in — in the most magical way possible. Because White Water Snacks has Mickey-shaped Jello!
Mickey Jello!
Woo! Back it up! Our Disneyland correspondent Heather (follow her @DiningInDisney!) stopped in for a snack recently, and discovered these jiggly mouse-shaped treats in a cooler in the grab-and-go section.
Mickey Jello
Also in this cooler are cream for coffee and packets of butter for other dishes — right next to a whipped cream canister.
Mickey Jello and Whipped Cream!
Heather being the intrepid Disneyland snacker that she is spotted an opportunity immediately. The thick strawberry Jello was a decent portion and honestly as cute as one might reasonably expect Jello to be.
Mickey Jello
And now she had the perfect Jello food hack: cover that sweet treat in delicious whipped cream!
Whipped Cream and Mickey Jello!
From every angle this has childhood favorite written all over it — only it’s not just a bowl of hastily spooned Jello. It’s Mickey!
Mickey Jello
Okay, so technically this is called Mickey Strawberry Gelatin, but we like to keep simple things simple: it’s Jell-o. And it’s delightful!
Mickey Strawberry Gelatin
And that’s how Mickey Jello with Whipped Cream was born! And we love it in every way!
Mickey Jello and Whipped Cream is born!
We’re so happy that the simplest food pleasures persist, even in the face of the incredible creativity and skill that brings pastries and desserts to life at the Disney Parks. And a food hack involving Whipped Cream? Always a win!
