food IS a theme park
Who’s ready to celebrate International Burger Day?!
The Turf Burger at Saratoga Springs
Calling all burger lovers! We’ve seen a burger topped with lobster, we’ve seen a burger topped with a hot dog, but we haven’t seen this kind of burger before! Burger Day is coming up on May 28th, and we may have just found the coolest way to celebrate. It’s not what you think…it’s crazier! If you have a sweet tooth, your mouth watering will commence in 3…2..1… . [Read more…]
We’re back at Disney Springs to try another new treat!
Disney Springs
Disney Springs has brought us a lot of goodies lately. We’ve tasted the delicious Red Velvet Cookie Sandwich, some cake from Gideon’s Bakehouse, and even a Bacon Grilled Cheese DONUT! Now we’re back, and we’re eyeing a tiny blue macaron over at Candy Cauldron.
Today, we’re bringing you an oh-so-delicious hack that you’ll try once and be left DREAMING about for weeks from Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew.
Everglazed Donuts
You may already be familiar with Everglazed’s over-the-top donuts, and their amazing classic Grilled Cheeeeeese. But, if you love donuts AND grilled cheese, it’s time to take things UP a notch in a very special way.
Yes, it’s officially autumn…
YeSake
…but that doesn’t change the fact that Florida weather is still SCORCHING hot! You might be all-in on pumpkin spice coffee right now. Or, maybe you’re looking for something a little more refreshing to cool down your day of shopping at Disney Springs. It was 91 degrees today, so we decided to forgo a decadent fall treat and went with the new Popping Yuzu Lemonade from YeSake.
If you are on the hunt for the greatest shake on Earth, look no further than Vivoli il Gelato in Disney World’s Disney Springs. This gelato shop always has a menu of awesome, ever-changing shakes, and now they’ve declared ownership of the Greatest Shake on Earth. 😉 This shake appears to be a nod to the live-action Dumbo that’s hitting screens next week, and you know we’re here for a treat with a movie tie-in!
Vivoli il Gelato
Via Disney Springs’ Twitter we now know that the Greatest Shake on Earth consists of three types of gelato: strawberry, cookies and cream, and vanilla. It’s topped with cake and Oreo crumbles, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream. [Read more…]
The seasonal options at Sprinkles Cupcakes in Disney World’s Disney Springs and Disneyland’s Downtown Disney are always fun, and for a few more days, you can get this stunner: the Flaming Hot Cheetos Cupcake!
Flaming Hot Cheetos!
This is a vanilla cake filled with crushed Flaming Hot Cheetos and topped with White Cheddar Cheese Frosting. [Read more…]
We tried the in-the-know Red Velvet Bread Pudding at Sprinkles in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs last month, and we loved it! Ooey, gooey, covered in frosting; it was pretty much everything we love in a dessert. But now we know, the Red Velvet Bread Pudding is nearing the end of its run!

Sprinkles regularly changes out its offerings, so this isn’t a huge surprise; you’ll want to get there soon if you want to try it. [Read more…]
Specialty treats come and go in the Disney Parks, and when Mickey’s 90th birthday party arrived in November 2018, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop in Disney Springs made some frozen magic with the Magical Birthday Sundae.
Magical Birthday Sundae
But then… it was gone. For weeks. Until it then appeared at Disney California Adventure’s Ghirardelli location, rebranded as the Magical Sundae. [Read more…]
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company
, a food kiosk located in Disney World’s Disney Springs, is known for a menu of — what else! — sausages! And recently the menu was overhauled to include a few brand new sausage options.
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.
We tried versions of a couple of the new options way back when B.B. Wolf’s first opened (click here to see: they were just Three Little Pigs at that time!). [Read more…]
Walt Disney World
is never shy to jump on the bandwagon of snack trends, and we love them for it! Edible cookie dough is one such trend — and it’s popping up all over the place! We first spotted it at All-Star Sports back in July, then it arrived (in Mickey style!!) at AristoCrepes in Disney Springs. Now there’s a second Disney Springs locale getting in on the action: B. B. Wolf’s!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Flavor combinations in edible cookie dough can be as diverse as cookies themselves, and AristoCrepes offered the most unique combo we’d seen thus far with Gingerbread Butterscotch. But B. B. Wolf’s is taking it there with Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Bacon in dessert can be a little hit or miss for us, but this one looks promising enough with lots of crispy bacon bits on top of the otherwise ordinary-looking cookie dough. The bacon, sadly, isn’t caramelized or sweetened in anyway, so it’s just a serious savory bomb. This creates a really stark contrast to the otherwise sweet dessert.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
For us, this uber-savory addition didn’t work. It’s too salty and overpowers the (relatively nonexistent) maple and chocolate, both of which take a backseat to the super-salty bacon. There are plenty of chocolate chips in there, but they can’t compete with the bossy bacon. And the cookie dough flavor itself just isn’t there.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The concept we do not dispute, but it’s a little clunky and thus out of balance. If you’re spending $4.50, find a snack that’s hitting all the right notes, not one that needs to be edited.
