food IS a theme park
Oh my gosh, you guys. White Water Snacks in Disneyland Resort launched its June Hot Dog of the Month and IT. IS. EPIC… especially for the heat seekers out there!
Jalapeño Pop-Dog
Aptly titled the Jalapeño Pop-Dog, each hot dog is covered in generous helpings of jalapeños, herbs and what appears to be the cream cheese-based filling of a classic jalapeno popper. [Read more…]
If you’re staying at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel this season, hop on over to White Water Snacks for a cheerful and colorful Easter Bunny Cupcake!
Easter Bunny Cupcake
This cupcake’s all about the details. First: the bunny ears made of sugar and tinted pink for added cuteness. 😉 [Read more…]
White Water Snacks in Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa was recently renovated (see our tour of the refreshed space here!), and we’ve already found some great treats in the quick service spot’s pastry case — including a sweet little Mickey Ears Cupcake for Get Your Ears On! And right now there’s a St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake that’s definitely got the luck of the Irish!

So many things going on here, and they’re all festive and fun! [Read more…]
White Water Snacks is the quick service spot at Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. It’s designed to reflect the spirit and style of camping, and after a brief refurbishment that began in September, we’re happy to report that White Water Snacks has reopened! Here’s a look at the refreshed space and the grub we can’t wait to try!
Whitewater Snacks has reopened!
Our Disneyland correspondent Heather (follow her adventures @DiningInDisney) took a stroll through White Water Snacks to grab a treat from the Get Your Ears On celebration (we’ll take a second look at that in a bit!). [Read more…]
This year is going to be BIG for the Disney Parks. Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is opening at Walt Disney World on August 29 and at Disneyland on May 31. Plus the all-new Skyliner transportation system will begin operating at Walt Disney World in the summer or fall! But that’s not all…

Happy Holidays from the Grand Californian at Disneyland Resort, where the gorgeous and festive gingerbread house stands tall and where guests can pick up loads of Holiday Treats in the lobby!
Completed Grand Californian
The pastry chefs at the Grand Californian aren’t messing around with their holiday offerings; the list of treats is small but mighty! You’ll find classic gingerbread alongside whoopie pies and truffles. Yup: there’s something for everyone!
Halloween Time is in full glory at Disneyland Resort, including at the Grand Californian Hotel! We already told you about the treat table in the lobby of the hotel, which is full of cookies and other spoooooooky goodies.
Welcome to the Grand Californian!
If you’re staying at one of the three Disneyland Hotels – Disneyland Hotel, Paradise Pier, or Grand Californian – this Halloween Time season you are in for some Halloween Time Treats!
Maleficent Cookie
Each Hotel has been decorated – one even taken over – for the season, plus there’s Trick or Treating, a Halloween Bakery Cart, and some special performances.
Just a few weeks ago, we shared that Tangaroa Terrace at the Disneyland Hotel would be closing for refurbishment.
Tangaroa Terrace Entrance
And now, Disney is revealing what’s to come as a result of the work! Look for the Terrace to reopen in early 2019 as the Tangaroa Terrace Bar & Grill!
A new outdoor bar and an updated patio will provide spots for guests to enjoy island cocktails and Asian-inspired cuisine. Inside there will be new details including light fixtures made of colorful fishing floats and netting, a tropical mural, and bamboo accents. But, don’t worry, the Tiki-inspired design will still be present in the renovated space.
And a new bar and patio aren’t all the changes! Guests will be able to enjoy Dole Whip throughout the day and coffee drinks in the morning from a dedicated service window. This will be great in the morning for the energy to tackle the parks, and of course to enjoy a Dole Whip while we’re at the pool! [Read more…]
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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
