So, are Mini Donuts the end of the giant Big ‘Ol Donuts as we know them? Hopefully not, as Cast Members informed us that we should still see them around from time to time. BUT, we have now officially spotted these new mini-donuts at Joffrey’s Coffee and Tea locations inside both the Magic Kingdom and The Contemporary.
Joffrey Mini Donuts
These new offerings, like the Big ‘ol Donuts, are super fresh and tasty. Don’t they look like a perfect excuse for a sugar rush? Well, that’s because they are! There’s a lot of flavor and fun in every bite. And since every donut is different, there is the opportunity to please everyone in the family for just a sweet little bite each… OR the opportunity to have a ton of different options to fulfill your own sweet-tooth cravings.

Raise your hand if you’re guilty of stalking the Contempo Cafe pastry case for new cupcakes! Recently, we’ve loved the Churro Cupcake and the Millenial Pink Cupcake.
In fact, it has been a few months since we went to Contempo Cafe for something other than a cupcake! But when I stopped by today (yes, for a cupcake) I noticed something new to me on the menu: Grilled Cheese and Tomato Soup. Well, twist my arm – I just had to order it.
But, don’t worry… I found a fun cupcake too. 😉 Read on to find out more!

The Grilled Cheese is made with three cheeses – Fontina, Monterrey Jack, and Boursin Garlic & Fine Herb – and is on Sourdough Bread. It is served with Tomato Bisque and your choice of fries, homemade chips, or veggie slaw. I opted for the homemade chips.
