REVIEW: The Ingredients List Sounds Better Than This Disney World Snack Tastes

Tis the season for lots and lots of holiday treats!

Once Upon a Toy

The past several weeks, we’ve been trying dozens of seasonal snacks in Disney World, from offerings at the hotels to party-exclusive snacks to Festival of the Holidays menu items. And now, we’re taking you to Disney Springs to check out one of their limited-time options!

Marketplace Snacks is located in the Marketplace area of Disney Springs, and they’re known for serving up delicious and creative waffle sundaes. Ice cream lovers rejoice!

Marketplace Snacks

For the holiday season, they’ve got a new waffle on the menu inspired by Frozen! Say hello to the Sven Reindeer Food Waffle Sundae. It’s $9.49 and made with vanilla and chocolate soft serve, white and dark chocolate covered pretzels, mini M&Ms, cinnamon cereal, marshmallow sauce, and a white chocolate coin.

New waffle!

When the waffle comes out, it is absolutely LOADED in toppings. We happened to stop by when they were making a fresh batch of waffles, so they were quite warm and it caused the ice cream to melt SO fast. The chocolate ice cream wasn’t quite as creamy as the vanilla part of the swirl, and it melted a bit faster, making a pretty messy snack.

There she is!

The toppings on this are really fun and definitely reminded us of reindeer food like you’d make at home, but in execution, they don’t work super well. The M&Ms melted quickly like the ice cream did, and with everything turning into one big soup, you even lost some of the crispy and crunchy elements because they got soggy fast.

Ultimately, the flavors were fairly good, but you’d definitely need to order this at a time when the ice cream machine is pumping out high quality soft serve and the waffles aren’t super hot.

A scoop

And with all that soupy mess, the marshmallow sauce gets really lost amongst the other flavors. There didn’t seem to be very much of it. Great idea with the flavors here, but not exactly 100% on the execution.

We’ll make sure to keep you in the loop with more snack reviews and updates on the holiday celebrations in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB!
