food IS a theme park
We’re celebrating Halfway to the Holidays because, let’s face it, it’s starting to get hot outside, and that has us dreaming of cooler weather, sweaters, snoap, and holiday snacks.

Disney is celebrating by bringing some holiday snacks to the parks, and we found out where you can get one of the most iconic wintertime treats. Yep, we’re talking about that Mickey Gingerbread Cookie. Now we’re going to tell YOU where to find it.
Once the Halloween season passes, Disney trades in its spooky decor for cozier holiday decorations! And that means you can also trade in your mega bag of trick-or-treat candy for another sweet favorite, some gingerbread!
So Cute!
The holidays at Disney World include lots of exclusive seasonal faves for guests to look forward to. One of the traditions we look forward to every year is checking out all of the super elaborate gingerbread displays around Disney World. And as an extra bonus, you don’t even need a park ticket to see most of them! We’re going to explore these detailed architectural confections and let you know where you can find Mickey gingerbread during your visit.
There are a ton of great snacks and meals in Disney World, but there are also some eats that you’ll want to AVOID. We’re here to help you sort out which is which!
Look at THAT
We tried a bunch of new food at the parks and hotels in December, along with meals at reopening restaurants and a few seasonal snacks. There was even an entirely new restaurant that opened on December 28th! Now, we’ve got a full list of the BEST and WORST things we ate this month so that you can plan what you want to eat during your upcoming trip. [Read more…]
The holidays may just be the BEST time in Disney World.
Le Petit Cafe
The decorations are BEAUTIFUL, the trees are HUGE, and the snacks are EVERYWHERE. There’s even an ENTIRE festival surrounding the holiday season, and, yes, we are here for it. But mostly, we’re here for the food. So we’re checking out another holiday snack over at Le Petit Cafe at Disney’s Riviera Resort.
With over 20 Disney World hotels around property, it can be hard to stay on top of everything happening at each of the resorts. But don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
We’ve spotted some new eats, Disney merch, and construction updates around the Disney World hotels lately. Get ready to come along on a tour with us to check out the latest changes!
The holiday season has landed in Disneyland, and WE ARE HERE FOR IT!
Making Spirits Bright
You can bet we were singing Christmas carols when we pulled into Festival of Holidays, getting ready to eat ALL the things, while drinking a few things, too. So we’re now visiting the Making Spirits Bright food booth to check out some more delicious treats.
If you’re like me, you typically reserve gingerbread treats for the end of the year. I simply can’t disassociate the fragrance and taste of gingerbread from all-things-Holidays.
I look forward each November to the Gingerbread Cupcake at Hollywood Studios in the same way I look forward to making gingerbread treats in my own home throughout December. (Okay, so they’re the pre-made/pre-cut cookies that you just have to warm up in the oven… that counts, right?)

BUT, if you want access to delicious gingerbread all year round…you’ve got it — in the form of the Mickey Gingerbread Cookie!
Mickey Gingerbread Cookie in case
You’ll often find this little guy in bakery cases across Disney World. But I’ve had the best luck at Sweet Spells and Writer’s Stop in Hollywood Studios, Goofy’s Candy Co. in Downtown Disney, and Magic Kingdom’s Main Street Confectionery, which is where I grabbed mine.

Confectionery bakery case — Mickey Gingerbread is on the bottom row
The composition is simple: a gingerbread cookie with the signature ears dipped in milk chocolate, with two white chocolate candy buttons to spiffy up the ol’ outfit. To be honest, he looks more like a “Mickey Fan Gingerbread” wearing an ear hat as opposed to a “Mickey Gingerbread” to me, but we’ll let that slide, since he looks cute as a traditional Gingerbread Man either way!
