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.

We recently told you about the big changes to the iconic Carrot Cake Cookie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. DFB reader @sfullofsugar21 let us know she was trying the cookie out! We’d love to hear if you liked this new version!

Rosie’s All-American Cafe at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is a good, quick spot to stop for lunch or dinner. Our fan Joanna enjoyed the Fried Green Tomato Sandwich at Rosie’s and declared it was the “best veggie sandwich” she’s had at Disney!
