DFB Reader Finds

If you find a fun new food — or other edible awesomeness — in or from Disney, share a photo with us on facebook or twitter so we can add it to our DFB Reader Finds each Sunday!

Cheese-lovers, check these out! This week we’re sharing two delicious menu items that you’re sure to enjoy.

From Walt Disney World, we have the African Chili-Cheese Dog from the Mara at the Animal Kingdom Lodge. Tweeted by @braindud92, this hot dog features sweet African spices.

And from Disneyland, we’re drooling over the Jolly Holiday Combo (a Toasted Cheese Sandwich with Tomato Basil Soup). Shared by Reader Adam: “Tried the Jolly Holiday Combo last night per @DisneyFoodBlog many reviews! Well worth it for sure!”

Thanks for sharing these gorgeous entrees!
