I have to admit it: I'm a Disney Snack-a-holic.
Don't get me wrong--I love the rides, the shows, and the shopping, and I'm sure those topics will end up all over this blog. But there is just something about Disney SNACKS that begs for immediate discussion. I'll list a few of my favorites, and maybe other people will comment as well, listing their favorites.
Popcorn: While sitting on a curb in the Magic Kingdom, waiting for the afternoon parade, there is a glorious aroma of popcorn that overwhelms your senses. If you can resist that amazing Magic Kingdom popcorn, then you are a much stronger human being than I am. *Bonus: the plastic popcorn buckets are a wonderful souvenir to bring home, and microwave popcorn tastes more magical at home if you serve it in the bucket.
Dole Whip: If you haven't had a Dole Whip, you have been missing out on a little cup of heaven. The sweet freshness of pineapple blended into ice cream is without a doubt one of the best things available at Disney World.
Mickey Ear Ice Cream Bar: You don't have to be five years old to love this frozen treat, but eating one WILL make you feel young again. (A little known secret is that Mickey ear ice cream bars DO taste even better if you are wearing Mickey ears yourself.)
Frozen lemonade: My son Josh would say that the frozen lemonade is the best treat at Disney World. There are two kinds--the kind you eat with a spoon and the kind that is really a slushy concoction that you drink with a straw. Josh likes both kinds, but I like the slushy version best.
Chocolate Covered Pretzel at Goofy's Candy Company: At Goofy's (Downtown Disney), you can create your own amazing treat. You can choose to cover marshmallows or pretzels in milk chocolate or white chocolate, and then add wonderful "extras", like oreos, candy, sprinkles, nuts, etc. It's tasty and fun, too!
Corn Dog at the Little Red Wagon: Ok, this one is only available at Disneyland. If you go to Disneyland, you cannot skip a corn dog from the little red wagon on Main Street. It is without a doubt the best corndog you will ever eat.

So...chime in. What are your favorite Disney snacks?
I agree with the Dole Whips and Corn Dogs! Oh my goodness! Delish!
ReplyDeleteAlso - next to the lockers at Disneyland there is a window that sells ice cream. It's the same ice cream sold across the street with one big difference. This ice cream is offered sandwiched between two freshly baked cookies made at the bakery just minutes before. Holy Moly!
