food IS a theme park
Every so often, Disney releases treats that are so Earth-shatteringly good that we have to tell you about them ASAP!
Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie
When we saw a NEW version of one of our favorite Disney World treats in EPCOT quietly made its theme park debut, it was all we could think about until we got our hands on it! Finally — the time has come. Let’s go eat a SWEET treat.
This is NOT the news we wanted to find today. And it’s probably not the news you want to read today. But if you love this classic Disney World treat as much as we do, you need to be aware of a painful update.
Carrot Cake Cookie at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
One of our favorite snacks in all of Disney World is the Carrot Cake Whoopie Pie (most people just call it the Carrot Cake Cookie) found at the Trolley Car Café in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Unfortunately, this delicious treat has broken our hearts in TWO ways! [Read more…]
We are back at Landscape of Flavors in Disney World’s Art of Animation Resort!
Landscape of Flavors remains relatively unique by Disney Counter Service standards. Sure, it offers quick service eats served up food court-style in keeping with the dining set-up at the all Disney World Value Resorts. But with a Tandoori/Mongolian Station serving sides like Naan Bread with dipping sauces (and don’t get me started on the uber-tasty Cheesy Pesto Bread) alongside favorites like burgers and sandwiches, the best-of-both worlds approach to international flavors and American fare have earned this spot high marks since the resort first opened in 2012.
That said, while its reputation for entrees has been deservedly high, Landscape of Flavors hasn’t been a huge destination for desserts (Gelato Bar notwithstanding, of course!). So when I noticed a little something — or somethings — new in the bakery case, it definitely piqued my interest.
They’ve added Mini Whoopie Pies to the options, my friends! And my fellow Carrot Cake Connoisseurs will definitely want to read on…
Just like Everything Pop at the neighboring Pop Century Resort, Landscape of Flavors is located directly past the resorts’s merchandise spot, the Ink and Paint Shop.
Lobby in Art of Animation
Oh, and be sure to check out the Storyboard Chandelier above you right before you enter! Several of the panels have been signed by Disney artists and actors involved with the films that the Art of Animation celebrates: The Lion King, Cars, Finding Nemo and The Little Mermaid. Among several others, you can search for Jodi Benson’s signature (she’s the voice of Ariel) as well as Pixar CCO John Lasseter’s. Newly signed panels feature the signatures of Pete Doctor, Jay Ward, and Jerome Ranft who worked on Cars, and also the latest Pixar hit, Inside Out. Pretty cool, right?!
After you’re done with your signature scavenger hunt, just continue through the merchandise shop to find Landscape of Flavors. [Read more…]
