food IS a theme park
We have some especially sweet news to share with you today!

Recently, we told you that a new food truck — aptly called Cookie Dough and Everything Sweet — would arrive in Disney Springs’ West Side this month. Well friends, according to Disney Springs’ Twitter account, that day is TODAY!
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!
I gotta say… you can really find some unexpected eats when you’re busy splishing and splashling the day away at Disney World’s Blizzard Beach Water Park!

Just like at Disney World’s theme parks, it’s not only burgers and fries. Sure, you can find your share of those, but there are also more unique items like Plant-based rice bowls and chocolate-dipped Key Lime Pie at Blizzard Beach.
And the latest case in point for surprising snacks in Blizzard Beach comes to you from the Warming Hut! That’s where you’ll find Edible Cookie Dough in your choice of S’mores, Hot Cocoa, or Sugar Cookie! [Read more…]
The All Star Resort Food Courts can make you feel like a movie star, singing sensation, sports champ, or now a princess with a new cupcake fit for, well, a princess! See all the updates from these three resorts!

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!
YES! You read that title correctly… ArtistoCrepes in Disney Springs is serving up Edible Cookie Dough!

You can pick your choice of three flavors: Gingerbread Butterscotch, Chocolate Chip, or Brownie Batter… or you can try all three in an Edible Cookie Dough Flight!
Each are complete with Mickey Ears in cookie form for dipping.
Keep in mind that AristoCrepes typically opens later than most Disney Springs spots. [Read more…]
