food IS a theme park
When it comes to iconic Disney World snacks, there are probably several that come to mind.
Mickey Premium Bar
We’re talking about those classics like the Dole Whip, Mickey pretzel, Mickey waffle, and, yes, even the Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar — how can you resist that vanilla ice cream coated with chocolate and shaped to look like Mickey?. However, if you get a Mickey Bar in Disney World now, you might notice that they’ve changed.
$12 for a hot dog? $4.50 for a soda? And $40 MAC AND CHEESE?!
Isn’t it lovely?!

The DFB team has been so excited about the Mickey Bars in local grocery stores ever since word dropped that we’d all get to have the Disney Parks’ iconic frozen treat at home!!! We finally found them in a Publix in Tampa, Florida, and of course, we had to review the Mickey Bars for you right away.
