DFB Reader Finds

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

The Sunday Roast at Rose and Crown Pub and Dining Room in Epcot’s UK Pavilion is a delicious traditional meal. DFB fan Elizabeth Rasmussen recently had a chance to enjoy it and says “it’s pretty good.”

We LOVE the Peanut Butter Sandwich from Disneyland! My buddy Eric Chu says he recently had his first Peanut Butter Sandwich in Disneyland and was in “peanut butter heaven!” We know the feeling!
