food IS a theme park
Ever heard the words, “You have to finish all your food before you can have dessert?”

Now your childhood dreams are coming true, because you can have dessert for breakfast in Disney World! Yeah, you can already count us in.
Call up Snow White because we think that she’s going to want to try this fall-flavored dessert from Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor!

It’s APPLE TIME! At least it almost is. And Disneyland is getting a leg-up by bringing back a favorite from last year!
Three words, you guys: Bigger. Bubble. Waffles. If your stomach wasn’t growling, it is now with this updated ice cream treat in Disney Springs!
Bubble Waffles at AristoCrépes
The Wreck-It Ralph Sundae has made a big smash before on our blog. The Family Challenge Trophy is a HUGE reminder of the accomplishment your family or you (we could have one entirely to ourselves) made by finishing those last few bites of the sundae. And, we’ve also seen the Salted Caramel and Strawberry Bubble Waffles pop up with their sweet and crunchy goodness. But, we’ve never seen them combined TOGETHER like this before!!
Who doesn’t love enjoying some ice cream from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor in Magic Kingdom?

From homemade ice cream cookie sandwiches to classic cones complete with Mickey Ears, it’s a quintessential Main Street stop.
As you know, we’re all for cooling down with a Dole Whip or ice cream sundae on a hot day in the parks. But these new iconic Disney SNACK FANS provide a whole new way to go about it!

The options we found at World of Disney in Downtown Disney today include a Mickey-shaped lollipop, a Dole Whip… [Read more…]
We’re always looking for new ways to enjoy Disney Parks treats, and when we come up with a new food hack — a combination of awesome treats — we just have to share. These five Disney Parks food hacks make dining on Disney sweet treats twice as fun!
Walt Disney World’s Train Station
Churros are a total must on any Disney trip (especially in Disneyland, where they’re served up warm and fresh!), and combining them with an ice cream sundae is kind of a genius idea. [Read more…]
at Disneyland Resort is offering a sweet treat for Halloween Time — and it combines churros and cereal! Here’s the Churro Bites Cereal Sundae!
Churro Bites Cereal Sundae
If that sounds like an awesome combination of words, imagine how great it is in reality! These are fruity-cereal dusted churro bites, sugary glaze, a scoop of fruity ice cream, some raspberry sauce, and a smattering of fruity cereal! [Read more…]
What do you need after taking a speedy spin on everyone’s favorite design-your-own-vehicle attraction, Test Track? A snack, y’all! (FYI: Most questions can be answered with “a snack.”) And we’re thrilled to tell you that the Test Track-adjacent Taste Track beverage and snack kiosk is open — again — for business!

We are stopping into Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop today for our latest DFB Video!
You’ll find two Disney locations for Ghirardelli — one in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs, and the other in Disneyland’s Disney California Adventure. While we love all of the Ice Cream, Cocoa, Coffee, and Chocolate Goodies you can get in both stores, today we’ll be focusing on the Disneyland location.

If you love ice cream sundaes made with only the finest quality ingredients, then Ghirardelli is the place for you. [Read more…]
So, you’re in Disney World, but for whatever reason, you don’t want to use a park ticket that morning/night/afternoon/arrival day/leaving day. No problemo!!
You can still cross some of the best Disney snacks off your must-eat list…even without scanning a single ticket/magicband/key to the World card!
Everyone knows that you can get a Mickey Bar all over the place in Disney World (you DID know that, right?), but we’ve got a few more must-try eats to share with you today! Time to check out our 5 Must Eat Disney Snacks You Can Get Without a Park Ticket!
UPDATE: Dole Whip is no longer being served at Captain Cook’s, is no longer self-serve, and is no longer available 24 hours a day. BUT — you still can get it outside of the Parks. You’ll now find Dole Whip at the Pineapple Lanai in Disney’s Polynesian Village. You can also get a Dole Whip Float at Pineapple Lanai!
Let’s start with the granddaddy of them all, the Big Kahuna of Disney Must Have Treats, the stuff that legends and t shirts are made of. Ladies and gentleman, we are talking about the Dole Whip here, of course.
This frosty, delicious treat has a bona fide cult following that has blown up and taken over mainstream! You simply cannot visit Disney without having one, whether it’s a float (my favorite!) or a cup.
Dole Whip
The pineapple soft serve, which is both vegan and gluten-free, is the perfect refreshing dessert on a sunshiny day!
Even though there are few things that say “I’m at Disney right now!!!!!!” more loud and proud than strolling through Magic Kingdom, Dole Whip Float from Aloha Isle in hand, it’s great to know that you don’t ever have to head into the parks to score one of these babies!
If you’re craving some of that tropical goodness and you aren’t on park time, just head over to Captain Cook’s Snack Company at Disney’s Polynesian Resort to get your fix! The Poly’s counter service spot is not only home to some deee-licious fast fare, but they also have Dole Whip machines that pump out the yum dessert.
Dole Whip (Almost) 24-7!
And here’s a BIG OL’ TIP: You can get a Dole Whip here all day…and all night!! long. 😀 Note, they DO shut down the machine for, like, one hour each night to clean it (believe me, I’ve been disappointed during that one hour before); so just avoid the 3AM Dole Whip craving and you’re good to go.
Ah, Zebra Domes. How (much) do I love thee? Enough to truck all the way over to Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge regardless of where I’m staying, that’s how much.
These little half-spheres first called to us from the buffet of Boma, one of Animal Kingdom Lodge’s most celebrated table service restaurants. Sure, we love Boma for their exotic dinner fare (those soups!), their carved meats and interesting condiments, and their delicious breakfast spread. But one thing’s for sure: a trip here must end with at least one Zebra Dome.
A Herd of Zebra Domes
The creamy, rich mousse domes taste like nothing you’ve ever had. That’s because the secret special ingredient is [Read more…]
