Walls have gone up around Sleeping Beauty Castle in Disneyland marking the beginning of refurbishment season in Southern California.
Walls up around Sleeping Beauty Castle
During the slower months of January and February, Disneyland frequently closes some rides and attractions for refurbishment. In addition to Astro Orbitor and Splash Mountain closures scheduled for this Spring, the iconic Sleeping Beauty Castle will also get some much needed repairs.
Mickey Mouse’s official 90th birthday celebration might have been in 2018, but the fun is continuing this year with new parties, merchandise, and more!
Celebrate Mickey merchandise
We spotted some new items from the Celebrate Mickey merchandise collection and it’s so cute we just HAD to share it!
Walt Disney World
is never shy to jump on the bandwagon of snack trends, and we love them for it! Edible cookie dough is one such trend — and it’s popping up all over the place! We first spotted it at All-Star Sports back in July, then it arrived (in Mickey style!!) at AristoCrepes in Disney Springs. Now there’s a second Disney Springs locale getting in on the action: B. B. Wolf’s!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Flavor combinations in edible cookie dough can be as diverse as cookies themselves, and AristoCrepes offered the most unique combo we’d seen thus far with Gingerbread Butterscotch. But B. B. Wolf’s is taking it there with Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Bacon in dessert can be a little hit or miss for us, but this one looks promising enough with lots of crispy bacon bits on top of the otherwise ordinary-looking cookie dough. The bacon, sadly, isn’t caramelized or sweetened in anyway, so it’s just a serious savory bomb. This creates a really stark contrast to the otherwise sweet dessert.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
For us, this uber-savory addition didn’t work. It’s too salty and overpowers the (relatively nonexistent) maple and chocolate, both of which take a backseat to the super-salty bacon. There are plenty of chocolate chips in there, but they can’t compete with the bossy bacon. And the cookie dough flavor itself just isn’t there.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The concept we do not dispute, but it’s a little clunky and thus out of balance. If you’re spending $4.50, find a snack that’s hitting all the right notes, not one that needs to be edited.
What kind of cookie dough would you love to see the Disney Parks try next? Let us know in the comments!

Purple Potion Ears
We’ve been spotting purple cupcakes and gelato shakes in the latest Disney Minnie Mouse Ears hue of Potion Purple (also called Purple Potion), and we had a feeling there were more on the way… and starting today in Walt Disney World — unless otherwise noted — and January 11th in Disneyland, that is indeed the case! (And note that Potion Purple Spirit Jerseys will be hitting the scene on January 11th as well.)
Here’s the list of all the places to keep your eyes PEELED FOR PURPLE in the parks… and beyond! [Read more…]
