food IS a theme park
We’re entering the playoffs of the Best Snacks of 2021 Bracket, and decisions have never been TOUGHER!
Cheshire Cat Tail
Since Disney World is renowned for its EPIC snacks, it’s practically impossible to single out a favorite, which is why we need YOUR help! These past few days, we’ve been asking our readers on Instagram to vote for their picks!
Gideon’s Bakehouse is a brand new cookie shop that opened in Disney Springs last month. The shop opened with a HUGE turnout as there were sometimes upwards of a three hour wait to get through the door. I mean, they serve up CUPS of frosting, Peanut Butter Iced Coffee, and insanely delish half-pound cookies…so yeah, we get the hype.
Gideon’s HAUL
Gideon’s Bakehouse temporarily closed their doors at the beginning of January to deal with some “behind the scenes logistics ahead of the grand opening.” But now, we have some BIG news for those of you looking to get your cookie fix in Disney World.
Disney World is a snacker’s paradise, but obvi not ALL snacks are made the same, and not all snacks are necessarily worth your while!
Dole Whip!
In a land of iconic treats, there are inevitably going to be some worthwhile hits, and some…meh? To really dig in, we conducted a scientific study (aka conducted an Instagram poll) to determine the most underrated and overrated snacks in Disney World!
This time of year, gingerbread is a near-daily occurrence for us, and a CONSTANT craving!
BoardWalk Bakery
Fortunately, Disney World understands our spicy yearnings, and delivers with a veritable parade of endless gingerbread sweets. While we’ve certainly tried MANY gingerbread treats already, this latest arrival at BoardWalk Bakery earns bonus points by garnishing a cupcake with a cookie!
Who doesn’t love a good cookie? We know we sure do!

And we’ve certainly eaten our share of cookies this holiday season, including Spiced Holiday Cookies, Chocolate Crinkle Cookies, and Caramel Cookies. Plus, we’ve even eaten our way through the 2020 EPCOT Festival of the Holidays Cookie Stroll! When it comes to cookie eating, we’re basically professionals at this point.
Our love for cookies at Disney World runs DEEP. About as deep as the deep-dish Jack-Jack Num Num Cookies at Hollywood Studios, which we’ve been HUGE fans of!

A little known secret, though, is that Disney doesn’t actually even make these cookies! They come from a local bakery, and just this week that bakery announced you can no longer get these cookies directly from their shop in nearby Winter Garden!
Welcome to 2020, where even the bakery cases at Disney World can’t decide what holiday it is! As you can see, we’ve got Halloween, fall, and Christmas all in one (and as long as the delicious sweet treats keep coming, we can’t say we’re mad about it).

Thanksgiving may not be here yet, but we’re already taste testing Christmas cookies to find the perfect ones for you (and for Santa, of course)! Today, we got to try a Mickey Mouse Gingerbread Cookie and it’s totally got us in the holiday spirit!
Have you ever seen a more beautiful cookie in your life?

Halloweentime is in full swing in Disney World and we’ve got MORE treats to try!
Halloween Decorations
We’ve already had a BUNCH of delicious fall and Halloween delights like the Pumpkin Whoopie Pie, the Not So Poison Apple Cupcake, and the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cannoli. Now, we’re trying another Halloween eat — and this one is for the cookie fanatics!
We all know about Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Pluto, and Goofy. But did you know that there are some Disney characters whose popularity RIVALS that of the Mouse himself?
Mickey Mouse
We’re going to chat about eight popular characters you might have never even heard of!
