food IS a theme park
Hey all you ghouls and goblins! The Halloween season is in full swing in Downtown Disney, and today we’ve been tasting some of the newest spooky snacks to arrive at Marceline’s Confectionary!
Magic Mirror Krispie Treat
We already devoured their Magic Mirror Krispie Treat, and now we’re sinking our teeth (literally) into one of their delectable (and quite bewitching) caramel apples!
Although we have no idea when Disneyland might reopen, Downtown Disney reopened this summer, and we’ve been enjoying all the food (hello, pumpkin spice churro!) and shopping there!
Line for Marceline’s Confectionary
So when we found out about all the new Halloween treats popping up at Downtown Disney, we headed there to TRY THEM ALL!
While Disneyland is closed, we’re missing A LOT about the parks…especially our favorite foods! Well, there’s still one very BIG reason that you should want to go to Disneyland right now (yep, even while those main gates are still closed!).
Disneyland’s Sleeping Beauty Castle
We’re specifically talking CHURRO TOFFEEEE! If you know us, you might know we’re basically OBSESSED with this stuff! While you can make it at home using this easy recipe, we think this epic treat might be the PERFECT reason to plan a trip to Downtown Disney! 😉 Break out the stretchy pants and get ready to drool!

Shanghai Disneyland has officially reopened with new health and safety measures in place. Select locations at Disney Springs in Disney World plan to reopen with new processes on May 20th. You can see a running list of locations that plan to open here.Â
Walt Disney Hometown Museum
The Walt Disney Hometown Museum in Marceline, Missouri has also released information regarding when they expect to resume operations.
We always love spotting caramel apples around the parks, like the adorable Alien Caramel Apples from Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff.
Marceline’s in Downtown Disney
We recently found a pair of NEW treats at Marceline’s Confectionery in Downtown Disney — Pineapple and Watermelon Mickey Caramel Apples!
We just love Minnie Mouse here at the DFB!

And we’re so excited that Sunday, January 21st – National Polk Dot Day – has been declared #RockTheDots day for a second year in a row — because it’s a day set aside to celebrate all things Minnie Mouse!

BOO!!
Halloween is one of the most FUN-derful times of the year at Disneyland, and our Disneyland Correspondent Heather Sievers has gathered pictures of some of the spooky happenings! We’ve also got the scoop on where you can find all of the season’s special treats around the Resort. So if you’re ready to scare up some fun with a few of our best Disney pals…

There are several stops around both Disney World and Disneyland with bakery cases that are full-to-overflowing with eye-catching goodies. In Disney World, these spots include Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery, Prairie Outpost and Supply, and Big Top Treats; Hollywood Studios’ Sweet Spells; and Downtown Disney’s Goofy’s Candy Company and the Candy Cauldron.
In Disneyland, they include Marceline’s Confectionery, Pooh Corner, Trolley Treats, and the Candy Palace.

A snack often found in these cases is the Marshmallow Wand. And we mention them on DFB fairly often because they change with the seasons.
Decorated Marshmallow Wands
Their decorative colors, sprinkles, and designs are one of the first things to signify some sort of celebration. We’ve seen them dressed up for the Winter Holidays…
Marshmallow Snowmen Wands
… and Halloween!
Ghost Marshmallows
Halloween Sprinkled Marshmallows
They’ve been decorated with conversation hearts for Valentine’s Day.
And they take part in the Wearing O’ the Green on St. Patrick’s Day!
Green Snacks for St. Patrick’s Day
Recently, they even received a blue makeover to honor the Blu-Ray and DVD release of the Disney movie, “Frozen.”

(Though, we’re sorry, Marshmallow Wands, but this little guy sorta stole your thunder…)
Olaf Candy Apples
All that said, you know something? We’ve never [Read more…]
We are back with another installment of Disney Food Pics of the Week! It’s so much fun to pop in on the Disney Food Blog Photo Extravaganza, our Flickr group, and see what you guys have posted!
Today, I found some awesome pics over there of one of my favorite snack foods — Pretzels! But not just any pretzels…Disney Pretzels!
We all have our favorites — made from scratch soft pretzels in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion…sweet cream cheese or jalapeno cheese stuffed (awesomeness!)…or those killer pretzel breadsticks at Le Cellier!
There’s no shortage of interesting pretzel versions in the ‘Land and the ‘World, but wait til you see these! You’ll have a couple of brand new pretzel treats to add to your list for sure!
So many choices…but I couldn’t resist starting with one of my favorites, the Mickey-Shaped Pretzel! Available now on both coasts, seeing that cute/creepy little face rendered in puffy soft pretzel dough just makes me smile every. Single. Time.

Stop the presses! Looking for the perfect salt + sweet combo? Ladies and gentlemen, I believe we’ve found it in this [Read more…]
I never miss an opportunity to see what Marceline’s in Downtown Disney is up to. Even if I’m just quickly walking by, I always pop in to see if there is anything new.
On a recent visit, two fun cake pops caught my eye. The Goofy and Cheshire Cat inspired cake pops appear to be close relatives to their caramel apple counterparts. (You can read about the delicious Cheshire Cat Caramel apple here and the disastrous Goofy Caramel Apple here.)
This post though, is all about their mini lookalikes, which were introduced to the resort at the beginning of August.
New Cheshire Cat and Goofy Cake Pops Join Mike Wazowski!
Since I had already tried a Mike Wazowski cake pop (on more than one occasion) during the Monstrous Summer season, I purchased a Cheshire Cat and Goofy cake pop to go. We were staying on property for the weekend, so I walked them back to the Disneyland Hotel for a little in-room review.
Cheshire Cat & Goofy Cake Pops
First up, we’ll take a look at the Cheshire Cat.
Cheshire Cat Cake Pop
Round with tiny triangular ears and a great big chocolate smile, the Cheshire Cat is covered with purple and pink sanding sugar. Take a bite into those ears and you’ll find [Read more…]
