food IS a theme park
People have gotten really creative over the last year, trying to bring a bit of Disney magic into their own homes.
Cinderella Castle
We’ve shared recipes, some of the best board games, and virtual ride videos to help Disney-fy your time away from the parks. Well, there’s one reader who took it to the absolute next level and we. are. impressed.
Attention: Dole Whip fans!
Aloha Isle
You may know how much we LOVE Dole Whip here at DFB. Watermelon Dole Whip, strawberry-chocolate Dole Whip, Dole Whip floats…we’ve tried it all. But when we stopped by Aloha Isle today in Magic Kingdom, we noticed yet another Dole Whip option that we HAVE to tell you about!
We’re about to blow your mind, because we found a way to take one of Disney’s classic snacks and make it even BETTER.
Sleepy Hollow Refreshments
You may remember we have a thing for showing you how to improve your favorite Disney dishes. We’ve hacked Everglazed Donuts and Cold Brew’s bacon grilled cheese donut, Animal Kingdom’s strawberry ice cream, and more. But this may be our most iconic hack yet!
When it comes to snacks in Disney World, there are LOTS of them!
Mickey Bar
Some snacks are meh, some are killer and must-eat, and others are just plain iconic to the Disney parks. We took to Instagram to let YOU battle it out between snacks, and we are shocked by some of the answers! We gave you some pretty difficult pairings to choose between, but let’s take a look at what the voters said!
We’ve already tried SO many holiday snacks, so we might as well add just one more to the list!
HOLIDAY TREATS!
Yesterday, we reported that the Fa La La La Funnel Cake arrived at Sleepy Hollow in Disney’s Magic Kingdom. This location is known for serving up all the delicious battered goodies: funnel cakes, waffles, and corn dogs! Today we stopped by to try out this holiday spin on one of their classic treats.
If you’ve been reading DFB for a while, you know that we’re all about those holiday snacks! We spent a whole day at Disney World last week trying out all the holiday snacks, but there still seems to be new additions every day!
Seasonal Wreath Cupcake
Even though we love the new and creative treats each year, we’re also suckers for holiday makeovers on classic Disney snacks. Classics like cookies, rice krispies, and Mickey-shaped cinnamon rolls still catch our eye, even though we’ve had them a million times! And today, there’s a new treat to add to that list — a holiday funnel cake!
UPDATE: On Friday morning, the Cheshire Cat Tail was NOT available at The Lunching Pad. We were directed to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to pick up our pastry. We were told it may only be available at one location or another at a time.
It’s no secret that the Cheshire Cat Tail is one of our favorite Magic Kingdom snacks!
Cheshire Cat Tail
When the parks first reopened, we went on quite the quest to find our beloved pastry snack! Cheshire Cafe, the snack stand where you can usually order this beauty, still hasn’t reopened — so the pastry made its way over to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe. For a while, Cosmic Ray’s was the only place you could order the cat tail…until now!
*Note that some of these offerings may be unavailable during the phased reopening of Walt Disney World.
Our love for Disney snacks goes waaaaay back!
Cake Pop at Magic Kingdom
In fact, some of our fondest childhood memories from trips to Disney World involve enjoying a sweet (or salty!) treat while strolling through the parks! But which of these eats have withstood the test of time? These are the Disney World snacks we had as a child that we STILL love to this day!
The Disney World parks are preparing to welcome back guests, with Magic Kingdom and Animal Kingdom set to reopen on July 11th, followed by Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Epcot on July 15th.
Magic Kingdom
As the restaurants around Disney World reopen, many of them have undergone menu changes, which has resulted in limited offerings at some locations. And we’re sad to see that one of our favorite snacks in Magic Kingdom has disappeared from the menu!
Walt Disney World is always so festive that even the classic confections receive seasonal makeovers.
Red, White, and Blue Krispie Treat for 4th of July
And we’ve really fallen for this Valentine’s Day twist on a beloved park snack: the Mickey Krispy Treat! [Read more…]
