food IS a theme park
, located in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs and in Disneyland Resort’s Downtown Disney as well as other locations all over the country, has been known to use cupcakes as a vehicle to celebrate lots of occasions, from holidays to pride month to anniversaries. And now the cupcake palace has designed a tasty cupcake to commemorate breast cancer awareness month!

It’s that time of the year: pumpkin has firmly infiltrated all aspects of dining at Walt Disney World from pumpkin spice beverages to snacks and sweets (including this fabulous Pumpkin Spice Beignet at Port Orleans!).
And in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, a pop-up bar in the Town Center neighborhood is serving Pumpkin-Filled Churros!
Town Center Pop Up Bar with Pretzels and Churros
The Town Center Pop Up Bar was primarily a beverage cart until the recent additions of churros and pretzels. [Read more…]
Welcome to Halloween Time at the Grand Californian Hotel, where the lobby’s treat cart is now listed as an official Disneyland Resort dining locale! It’s called the Grand Californian Hotel Holiday Cart, and right now, it’s packed with spooky, cute eats!
Welcome to the Grand Californian!
Fun eats include a Halloween Mickey Whoopie Pie, a Chocolate-Dipped Pretzel Stick Trio, and a Halloween Cookie Box!
Halloween Time Treats at the Grand Californian’s Holiday Cart!
at Disneyland Resort is offering a sweet treat for Halloween Time — and it combines churros and cereal! Here’s the Churro Bites Cereal Sundae!
Churro Bites Cereal Sundae
If that sounds like an awesome combination of words, imagine how great it is in reality! These are fruity-cereal dusted churro bites, sugary glaze, a scoop of fruity ice cream, some raspberry sauce, and a smattering of fruity cereal! [Read more…]
, located on both coasts to the delight of Disney World and Disneyland guests, has not one but TWO limited time cupcake offerings — available only through this Sunday!

First up is the return of the Banana Split Cupcake! This is a banana cupcake topped with strawberry buttercream, filled with marshmallow, and dipped in chocolate ganache. The cherry on top?
Disneyland’s Donut (Doughnut?) Cart
near Sleeping Beauty Castle is a must-do if you like unique donut concoctions. After all, this is where the so-called Dole Whip Donut took up residence a few weeks ago!

And it’s where we found the Matterhorn Macaroon Donut, too! This donut featured the iconic Disneyland Matterhorn Macaroon, and it was awesome!
in the Land Pavilion at Walt Disney World’s Epcot is a great go-to for desserts — including the always incredible Red Velvet Mickey Whoopie Pie and the fruity Strawberry Shortcake!
Mickey Whoopie Pie at Sunshine Seasons
And since our expectations are high for Sunshine Seasons — and because we’re always on the lookout for new eats! — we like to check out the pastry case here as often as possible. (Maybe we’re just making excuses to eat more desserts…) On my most recent visit, I discovered the new Turtle Brownie. And let me tell you: this is a hidden gem!
Turtle Brownie
This is one indulgent treat! A layer of dense, chocolatey brownie is topped with serious. caramel. action! The layer of thick, gooey caramel on this thing was, like, half an inch thick!!!
And the whole thing is covered in chocolate frosting, pecans, and chocolate chips.
Turtle Brownie with Serious Caramel Action!
It’s true — a LOT of brownies in Disney World are dry little squares of waste-of-money. But this one? Don’t pass it by, my friends. DO NOT PASS THIS BY.
Consider bringing a brownie buddy… or just get yourself a bottle of milk, park yourself in a comfy booth, and take your time! This hidden gem is our favorite kind: sweet, delicious, and addictive!

Here at the DFB we love to be surprised (in a good way) by the eats we pick up at the Disney Parks. And when that surprise comes in the form of dessert, it’s even better! Such was the case with the Brownie Temptation at Main Street Bakery in Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom.
Cinderella Castle
Main Street Bakery is the park’s Starbucks location, and it can be found on Main Street, U.S.A. In addition to Starbucks beverages and Starbucks-branded snacks, guests can also find more unique items.

The Brownie Temptation is being advertised on a temporary sign, and the picture doesn’t elicit a ton of enthusiasm. It looks like a pretty standard brownie with (admittedly tasty) sauces.
Brownie Temptation
The reality is a nice, gooey bowl of sweetness, so an improvement over the photo. 😉 (An over-abundance of sauces is almost never a bad thing!)

The mound of whipped cream and drizzle of caramel are prominent.

The warm peanut butter and chocolate sauces spill over the sides and pool in the bowl, which is a good thing because the brownie is actually larger than I expected it to be. The choice of plating with the bowl contains all of those sauces.

The brownie itself is dense and moist, providing a lot of bang for the buck in terms of richness and chocolate flavor.

Overall, this one really surprised me! Why? Ha ha — I got a message on instagram asking “Why would you think a brownie with yummy sauces would be bad?” But the truth is, a LOT of Disney brownies are super dry and can’t be saved by the sauces in question.
So, the Brownie Temptation was much more tempting in person than in its signage, and it really delivered! Due to the richness of everything combined, it’s definitely share-able, but if you decide to attempt it on your own, might I recommend finding a cozy spot in the shadow of Cinderella Castle where you can linger over the classic combo of peanut butter and chocolate?

Yeah, I thought so. 😉

What Disney Parks food has surprised you (in a good way) when you tried it? Let us know in the comments!
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!
