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.

There are a lot of great eats in Disney Springs but right now you need to get the Bubble Waffles at AristoCrepes and a Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookie at The Polite Pig! DFB reader Ashok Karunakaran took our advice and enjoyed both in one day, sharing “Thanks to the awesome @DisneyFoodBlog videos, I felt like a pro going in. I knew exactly what to get where and when.”

Earlier this summer Disney introduced the Peter Pan Float at Storybook Treats in the Magic Kingdom, featuring Key Lime Dole Whip. DFB reader Shannon Mack recently enjoyed a cup of just the Key Lime Dole Whip and proclaimed, “Can confirm the lime dole whip is beautiful!”
