food IS a theme park
It’s that time of the year when all the villains are out to wreak havoc for guests during Halloween Time in Disneyland.

And, right now, Maleficent is getting the star treatment with the Maleficent Churro and Maleficent: Mistress of Evil coming to theaters soon. So, why not celebrate the villainess with another treat at Starbucks?
The cold never bothered us anyway!

And that’ll especially be the case once you get a look Disney’s newest color trend! We’ve seen Imagination Pink, Potion Purple, Dapper Yellow, Briar Rose Gold, and Magic Mirror Metallic. But now it’s Arendelle Aqua’s time to take the spotlight.
It’s almost time to celebrate Valentine’s Day (or Galentine’s Day, if you’re into it!), and Market House on Disneyland’s Main Street, U.S.A., has a Linzer Cookie that is totally ready for its close-up!

So… Frozen Fun ends in Disneyland on May 15th, and Frozen Summer Fun LIVE won’t return to Disney’s Hollywood Studios until June 17th. That’s one full Frozen-free month… What’s an Anna, Elsa, Kristoff and Olaf fan to do?!?
What will we do when there’s no Frozen Fun?!
Fret not, Frozen fans! In the downtime between the two events, Disney is releasing a few treats in honor of “Frozen Fever,” the film short that can currently be seen on the big screen prior to showings of the live-action “Cinderella” film.
As in the film short, these treats go about the task of celebrating Anna’s birthday… and what’s a birthday celebration without a little cake? Anna’s Happy Birthday Cupcake is a vanilla cupcake with blue buttercream frosting, topped with marshmallows, snowflake candies, and a white chocolate Olaf.

At Disneyland, you’ll want to check spots like the Jolly Holiday Bakery, Market House, Pacific Wharf Cafe, Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe, and The Coffee House.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
While the cupcakes are already available at Disneyland, starting April 8th, Disney World guests can check various eateries scattered across property, in parks and resorts alike. Altogether, twelve restaurants will carry the cupcakes in WDW, including Main Street Bakery and Gaston’s Tavern in the Magic Kingdom, Starring Rolls Cafe and ABC Commissary in Hollywood Studios, and Sunshine Seasons and Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in Epcot.
Resort restaurants that will carry the cupcake include BoardWalk Bakery, Beach Club Marketplace, Contempo Cafe, Gasparilla Island Grill, Landscape of Flavors and The Mara.

Looking for something a little more frozen to celebrate the cast of Frozen? Olaf’s Perfect Sundae Day features birthday-cake flavored ice cream topped with hot fudge, mint marshmallows, brownie pieces (!), whipped cream, and sprinkles.

Those mint marshmallows look a lot like the ones currently available to enjoy with your Warm Hugs Hot White Hot Cocoa over at Olaf’s Snow Fest in Disneyland!
At Disneyland, the Sundae is available at Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor and Clarabelle’s.

And again, starting April 8th, Disney World guests will find it at the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, Hollywood Scoops, and Beaches & Cream.

DFB Reader Jennifer emailed us a picture of the Tomato and Mozzarella Sandwich at Captain’s Grille. She says “… It’s served on Foccacia bread with an arugula & red onion vinaigrette. It’s served with orzo salad or French fries. … It is my favorite lunch of all time.
The bread is flavorful, soft, but crisped on the outside. The tomatoes are sweet and the fresh cheese, creamy. The arugula vinaigrette adds just enough tangy bite and brings the entire sandwich together nicely. I usually ask for extra dressing and started using it for my fries also. I thought it was a hidden gem, I should share!”

In “better late than never news” (sorry, I’ve completely lagged on this post), The Market House on Disneyland’s Main Street USA has reopened as Starbucks — and it’s gorgeous!
Market House on Main Street USA
The Market House is the second Starbucks location to open at the Disneyland Resort, following the one inside of Fiddler, Fifer, and Practical Cafe. A third is currently being built in Downtown Disney.
In my opinion, Disney has done a fantastic job at imagineering the themes of Starbucks to fit right in with the resort. Overall, the Market House has kept much of its quaint decor, but it’s been updated with a larger queue area and more seating.
When you walk up to the Market House, you will notice that the Starbucks signage is very subtle. In fact some of the windows don’t even have a Starbucks logo.
Market House Window
The windows that do have Starbucks signage are more vintage looking; not the typical obvious green logo that we are used to seeing on every corner. The window below is near the main entrance of Market House.

There are still two entrances to Market House. Below is the back entrance which is also the main exit. You can see that the Starbucks themeing here, printed coffee [Read more…]
