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!

During his cupcake crawl, DFB Reader Barry tweeted us this Agent P Cherry Chocolate Cupcake. Get your Perry the Platypus Cupcakes at the Contempo Cafe inside Disney’s Contemporary Resort.

Facebook Friend Paula shared this Mickey Gelato Waffle Sundae from the End Zone Food Court at All-Star Sports Resort. And she gives a tip — “it can be ordered as a dessert in the dining plan, but not as a snack.”

Make us jealous; send in your favorite finds!
