Look who we found! Mickey Mouse is the center of attention right now, even more so than usual, for his 90th birthday year. And everything seems to be taking the form of the main mouse these days!
Over at Pop Century’s Everything Pop, we spotted him (and his bae, Minnie) as a whoopie pie!
Chocolate Mickey Whoopie Pie
The chocolate Mickey whoopie pie has two chocolate cakes shaped like Mickey and dusted with sparkly edible glitter. Inside you’ll find sprinkle-decorated frosting!
at Walt Disney World’s BoardWalk Inn and Villas has a massive following, owing to some pretty spectacular ice cream and its convenient location (Yacht and Beach Club Resorts, Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Epcot’s International Gateway, and the Swan and Dolphin hotels are all within walking distance!).
Ample Hills Creamery
We’ve been enamored since our first visit just over two years ago, and we’re not too proud to admit that we still daydream about this sweet frozen treat on a pretty regular basis. :p

Welcome!
