food IS a theme park
Salt & Straw in Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort always comes up with some unique and fun seasonal ice cream flavors!
Compartes’ Coffee and Love Nuts Ice Cream
The ice cream shop impressed us most recently with their spookalicious Halloween flavors, but now Salt & Straw has announced their holiday flavors, and they sound so joyful, merry, and bright!
A couple of days ago, we noticed the Disney Springs’ food trucks had rolled back into town!
Disney Springs Food Trucks
But with the exception of 4 Rivers Cantina Barbacoa Food Truck, all these mini-restaurants (on wheels!) have remained closed in Disney Springs — until TODAY!
We’ve got a very important matter to discuss with you today!
Cinderella Castle and Main Street USA in Disney World
We know we’re always talking about our favorite foods at the Disney theme parks, BUT did you know many of our favorite snacks don’t even require a park ticket?!
Is there anything better than Disney fireworks?!
Happily Ever After
If you have a sweet tooth, then Disney fireworks with unlimited desserts might just be up your alley! Magic Kingdom Dessert Parties can be a great way to make Magic Kingdom fireworks even more special, as they provide some level of reserved viewing, plus tons of sweets and treats.
A big change (keep reading!) recently arrived at Magic Kingdom’s Fireworks Dessert Parties, but so did price hikes. Would this upgrade, along with reserved seating and unlimited sweets justify the high price of the event? We recently attended the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party to find out!
There are SO MANY exciting changes happening around the Walt Disney World resort!
Spaceship Earth
Between new attractions (hello- Rise of the Resistance!), Epcot’s amazing transformation, and new resort openings, it can be hard to keep up with the latest and greatest restaurants to hit the Disney world scene.
Something seriously SWEET rolled into Disney Springs earlier this year — the Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet Food Truck!
Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet
Located near the other food trucks in Disney Springs West Side, this spot has satisfied our sweet tooth-cravings with such creative bites as the Halloween Cookie Dough Taco and the Celebration Parfait!
It’s the season of chills and frights at Disney World as the resort celebrates the Halloween season this month!
Mike & Sulley Cookie Butter
And guess who has just arrived to take part in the festivities? Why, it’s Mike and Sulley from Monsters, Inc.!
So, is it just us, or is the cookie dough better than the actual cookies??
S’mores Cookie Dough at Blizzard Beach
Obvs we could eat an entire bowl of cookie dough to ourselves, so we looove that there are so many great spots for edible cookie dough in Disney World! It’s been spotted at the All Star Resorts and several locations in Disney Springs (not to mention that cookie dough ice cream at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in Magic Kingdom).
And, one of our DFB readers just sent over a shot of a brand NEW cookie dough extravaganza in Disney World!
Is there anything better than Cookie Dough?! Yes there is — cookie dough on top of a delicious Ice Cream Sundae of course! Cookie dough lovers rejoice and say hello to the brand new Minnie Cookie Dough Sundae!!
Minnie Cookie Dough Sundae
You can find this cutie at Storybook Treats in Fantasyland.
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.
