food IS a theme park
When Halloween Time began last month in Disneyland Resort, we headed to the west coast to show you the best (and creepiest) eats. And what we found at Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta in Disney California Adventure Park was one of our favorites.

Can’t get enough Mickey-shaped treats this Halloween season? We brought you the scoop on festive fall treats available in Walt Disney World, and now we’re coming at ya with a review on this spooky, sweet treat from Trolley Car Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Need to know more about this pumpkin-inspired dessert? We’ve got you covered.
Chocolate Cake topped with chocolate mousse and chocolate Mickey ears from Trolley Car Cafe
Officially named Chocolate Cake – topped with chocolate mousse and chocolate Mickey ears, this dessert consists of a mini chocolate cake topped with chocolate mousse, orange and black glaze, and chocolate Mickey ears. Anyone else feel like they missed an opportunity to call this Mickey Mousse? No, just us? 🙂
Here’s hoping you’re having a great weekend so far! We’re kicking it off with another DFB Video: a full restaurant review of Epcot’s Spice Road Table!
Welcome to Spice Road Table!
This table service restaurant is located in Epcot’s beautiful Morocco Pavilion. And in addition to a lovely setting, it offers indoor and outdoor waterfront dining, fireworks views, and some pretty great cuisine. Find out why we think Spice Road Table is something of a hidden gem in our latest DFB YouTube video! [Read more…]
Oh, boy! We’re going to have some fun today with a Chocolate Sculpture Tour at the 2018 Epcot Food and Wine Festival! You’ll find this lovely annual display at The Chocolate Experience: From Bean to the Bar which is located in the Festival Center.
The Chocolate Experience: From Bean to the Bar
Perhaps you aren’t able to make it to the Food and Wine Festival this year. Or, even if you are, your time might be (understandably) consumed with consuming your Must-Try items at the Festival’s Food Booths. No matter the case, if you aren’t able to see these sculptures at the Festival, we always enjoy having the chance to bring them to you!
Each made-from-chocolate sculpture is created by a pair or team of chefs from a Disney World Resort or Park.
The Epcot Production Bakery created this beautiful and colorful Coco chocolate sculpture. [Read more…]
We just showed off a few fun Halloween and fall-time treats unique to Walt Disney World a few days ago, and reviewed that yummy cinnamon pumpkin cupcake in Animal Kingdom as well! Now we’re headed over to Disney’s Wilderness Lodge to tackle another Halloween-y sweet treat — the Poison Apple Cupcake!
Let me just remind everyone that accepting a poison apple from some mean, scary witch in the forest is a bad idea. Really, a terrible one. Snow White taught us all a valuable lesson. But, accepting a poison apple cupcake from the lively cast members at Roaring Fork in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, well, that’s a completely different story. Spoiler alert: It’s a really good idea. And a delicious one, too.
Roaring Fork Limited Time Poison Apple Cupcake
We LOOOOVE Wilderness Lodge. It’s like walking into a fall/winter day in a National Park Lodge every time I’m there…which is a nice mind trick when it’s still. so. freaking. hot. in Florida. Throw a Halloween-themed cupcake into the mix, and I’m game.
Sometimes we stumble upon an artist that we just HAVE to share. These teeny tiny Disney creations are way too cute to keep to ourselves!
Meet MinnieKitchen – a polymer clay artist who creates the most adorable miniature items you will ever see! But our favorites, of course, are the Disney ones!
Um… a miniature MICKEY PUMPKIN? It’s perfect!

And we’ll take 100 of these miniature Mickey pretzels, please.
A trip to the Animal Kingdom is always wild for us as we find so many updates each week! Find out what we found in new menu items, seasonal treats, and merchandise this week!
Hello from the Animal Kingdom
The first thing we found were updated ticket prices at the ticket windows. 🙁
We just shared some new Cinderella merchandise we spotted at Epcot this week, and now we’ve found another new line of home items in Animal Kingdom featuring Cinderella! This line is a little more formal than other lines we’ve seen featuring the princesses lately.
Cinderella Plate
Just like the line at Epcot, these are some more mature renderings of the popular princess. We’re even getting a tiny bit of a toile pattern feel looking at this set.
Who’s the leader of the club? Mickey Mouse! We just took you on a tour of the reimagined World of Disney Store in Disney Springs (click here to see the whole thing!), and now it’s time to look a little more closely at one of the newest merchandise lines!
In celebration of your favorite mouse’s 90th Birthday and its upcoming Grand Reopening, World of Disney has released an exclusive Mickey Mouse Club Collection. Want to know more? Let’s have a look!
Mickey Mouse Club Collection
After a lengthy refurbishment and total reimagining, World of Disney at Disney Springs in Walt Disney World is holding its Grand Reopening on Saturday, October 27. Mickey Mouse also celebrates his 90th birthday on November 18, so what better time to release an exclusive Mickey Mouse Club collection!?
