The airline industry is consistently…inconsistent. One moment, we’re taking off our shoes in the security line — the next, we’re breezing by with our shoes on. One day, Southwest Airlines offered free checked bags. The next? We don’t want to talk about that right now…we’re still not over that change. You never know what will change before your next flight!

REVIEW: I Just Ate the BEST Corn Dog Nuggets, and Disney World Should Take NOTES

By 1 Comment

We may be a food blog, but that doesn’t mean we sit around eating lobster thermidor and scallops every day. We’re normal people — we like the simple stuff, too! Chicken tenders? Yeah, we still eat ’em. Mickey-shaped snacks? They still bring us joy. Corn dog nuggets? Who said they’re just for kids?! Speaking of snacks that make us happy, we need to talk about our meal at Mama’s Snack Stop at Disney’s Aulani Resort.

Let’s head to the Snack Stop!

It’s no secret that the DFB team LOVES Corn Dog Nuggets, formally known as Mini Corn Dogs or Corn Dog Bites. There’s something about those little bundles of beef (and whatever else is in a hot dog) that really hits the spot when you’re on vacation. Now, we’ve been longtime fans of the Mini Corn Dogs at Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom, but what if we told you that there’s ANOTHER place to get corn dog nuggs…and they might be even better.🫣
