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.

Earlier this year we shared the DFB Cupcake Crawl and all year we’ve been hearing from readers who are attempting to complete the challenge! DFB reader Brad Philbert and his family were working on the crawl this past week and he shared some pics with us including this one of their 7th cupcake – an Olaf Cupcake in Hollywood Studios!

The Purple Wall in the Magic Kingdom has its own Cotton Candy and Slush, but DFB reader @bioreconstruct decided to have some fun at this week’s Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party and he paired the Holiday Cookie with the Purple Wall. It’s a good look! ;-D
