New treats have arrived at Trolley Treats at Disney California Adventure and they are pink and red with hearts all over!

No need to make your way over to Walt Disney World to get in on the Valentine’s Day action. Today, we spotted chocolate, chocolate, and MORE chocolate in Disney California Adventure!
We are having a great time discovering all the Halloween decor and treats that are popping up in the parks at Walt Disney World – and just in time for the first Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party starting this Friday, August 17th!
The Citizens of Main Street USA are ready for Halloween
Right away we were greeted by the Citizens of Main Street USA who were more than happy to share our sweet treats with us. Looks like the Mummy Cake Pop really spooked one of the citizens! [Read more…]
We had a case of wanderlust this week, and instead of getting out the passport and packing, we just hopped over to spend the day in Epcot. Our journey started with some time spent in Future World, followed by a trip around the World Showcase. And boy, did we find a lot new eats and buys for you on this “trip”!

Many Disney fans have a special place in their hearts for their favorite parades and fireworks shows. And for a whole bunch of us, the Main Street Electrical Parade pulls at our heartstrings big time. And now that it’s back at Disneyland — welcomed by a TON of amazing MSEP themed treats? We HAD to get there!!
Main Street Electrical Parade Banner
The glittering spectacle features innumerable lights, fan-favorite characters, and catchy, fun music. Beloved since its first appearance at Disneyland Resort way back in 1972 and its subsequent appearance in Disney World in 1977, the Main Street Electrical Parade is pretty universally adored.
One of my favorite times of the year in Walt Disney World will start happening soon, as we start to see all of the decor, souvenirs, and especially food items that announce “Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!”
The Holidays are Almost Here in Magic Kingdom!
It seems like everywhere you look during November and December, the Parks and Resorts transform to a (warm) Winter Wonderland! And it’s enough to make the kid inside me giddy. [Read more…]
It’s been so much fun hunting down all of the Halloween Treats at the Disneyland Resort this year.
Halloween is by far my very favorite time of the year. I have so many photos of spooky delights and although I’d like to try every single item, I’d also like to fit into my Halloween costume in a few weeks. So, instead of a full review on each of these Halloween Time treats, let’s just look at some calorie free photos! Most of the items I’m featuring in this post can be found in Candy Palace at Disneyland, Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure, and Marceline’s in Downtown Disney. If an item is specific to a certain spot, I’ll let ya know!
Let’s start with these adorable Mickey o’ Lantern Cookies!
Mickey Pumpkin Cookies
Followed by some Mickey Bat Cookies! I love the tiny orange fangs!

New for 2014 are the Haunted Mansion Clock Crispy Clock & Mickey Mummy Crispy Treats. How cute are the little M&M eyes peeking out from behind the mummy’s “bandages?”

There’s also a new Jack o’ Lantern Marshmallow Wand. This one I might have to get my hands on. Four fluffy marshmallows are dipped in caramel, then coated with white chocolate and covered in orange sanding sugar. I love that each pumpkin has a [Read more…]
There are several stops around both Disney World and Disneyland with bakery cases that are full-to-overflowing with eye-catching goodies. In Disney World, these spots include Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery, Prairie Outpost and Supply, and Big Top Treats; Hollywood Studios’ Sweet Spells; and Downtown Disney’s Goofy’s Candy Company and the Candy Cauldron.
In Disneyland, they include Marceline’s Confectionery, Pooh Corner, Trolley Treats, and the Candy Palace.
Bakery Case
A snack often found in these cases is the Marshmallow Wand. And we mention them on DFB fairly often because they change with the seasons.
Decorated Marshmallow Wands
Their decorative colors, sprinkles, and designs are one of the first things to signify some sort of celebration. We’ve seen them dressed up for the Winter Holidays…
Marshmallow Snowmen Wands
… and Halloween!
Ghost Marshmallows
Halloween Sprinkled Marshmallows
They’ve been decorated with conversation hearts for Valentine’s Day.
And they take part in the Wearing O’ the Green on St. Patrick’s Day!

Recently, they even received a blue makeover to honor the Blu-Ray and DVD release of the Disney movie, “Frozen.”

All that said, you know something? We’ve never [Read more…]
Halloween time has arrived at the Disneyland Resort, and the treats (especially the pumpkin ones) are calling my name!
Familiar Pumpkin Faces at Halloween Time!
I found a handful of fun items that I felt needed to be shared immediately so that your Halloween snacking could be planned accordingly.
Please note that we will be posting some in depth reviews of some of these treats, but for now, here’s a mini sampling…
Let’s not save the best for last.
These gems can be found in Disneyland at the Royal Street Veranda. They have REAL pumpkin chunks in them and are fried to perfection. They come with a creamy custard dipping sauce.

The Royal Street Veranda also features a Pumpkin Latte
The Pumpkin Latte is flavorful but not at all artificial tasting.

A perfect treat to keep you warm, if it ever cools down here in Southern California!
AND Spooky Kooky Gingerbread Cookies
Soft, chewy and ginger-bready, with a Halloween twist!

Read about some of the fun eats and events happening this year on our 2012 Disneyland Holiday page, and check out even more below…

Sleeping Beauty's Winter Castle
I recently visited Disney’s California Adventure to get a sampling of all the yumminess the resort has to offer this season — and let me tell you, there are some pretty tasty treats.
A sampling of this year's holiday goodies.
Both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure are carrying a line of holiday caramel apples. Choose from a festive Mickey or Minnie, or go for the cute snowman complete with chocolate Mickey ears and a sour belt scarf!

Both parks are also carrying a variety of Christmas Cupcakes, including this chocolate peppermint one! The frosting is whipped and infused with peppermint flavor.
It was by far my most favorite part of the cupcake. Warning though: with that bright green and red frosting, your tongue stands no chance against staining…
