Whether it’s the plastic variety to go with our Corn Dog Nuggets or a fancy Artisinal Cheese Board at Wine Bar George — we don’t discriminate! One of our favorite ways to eat the golden goodness is smothered in pasta. Macaroni and cheese abounds in Disney World, and we’re taking a look at two varieties that are topped with barbecued meats in this week’s THROWDOWN.
Picture it: A plate full of Baked Macaroni and Cheese.

Altogether we can expect about 80 items including specialty candy apples and popcorn, many of which will be unique to Zuri’s Sweets Shop. Disney shared that the African Spice Popcorn will be flavored with a “hint of cardamom.”
