food IS a theme park
If you love Oreos, then we are one and the same.
Chinese Oreos with Dairy in Disney World!
There are lots of delicious sweet treats you can get during your Disney World vacation, and everyday things like Oreos typically aren’t seen in the parks. But we saw this HUGE Oreo news and just had to share — a popular flavor is coming BACK!
Disneyland has some absolutely iconic desserts!
Mickey Beignets
From Dole Whip to churros to Mickey beignets, there is no shortage of photogenic and delicious sweet treats. And, we just tried out another fun dessert that will make you feel like a kid again!
Happy National Oreo Cookie Day! Yes, that is a real thing, and no, we didn’t make it up!
Did someone say Oreo cupcakes?
For us, though, EVERY day is Oreo day, and we’ve tried a lot of different Oreo-flavored treats at Disney World, including churros, bon bons, and cheesecake bread pudding! There’s just something about that chocolate cookie flavor mixed with cream that we love.
In terms of whimsical Disney World snacks, Oreos and churros go together like peanut butter and jelly!
Churro
The two dessert titans have officially joined forces for a limited time Oreo Churro special to Disney Springs, and if you’ve got a sweet tooth, this is one treat you do not want to sleep on! [Read more…]
I scream, you scream, we all scream for ICE CREAM!
Birthday Cake Dazzler Ice Cream
We’ve found some delicious ice cream treats at Walt Disney World lately! And with the news of Ample Hills closing permanently, we’re definitely on the lookout for new chilly desserts!
Today, we just found out about some NEW MILKSHAKES coming to Chicken Guy! in Disney Springs, and while they’re not the most exciting flavors, we’re hopeful they’ll hit the spot!
We love stopping by Sprinkles in Downtown Disney or Disney Springs to try out their yummy and unique cupcakes, like the Pineapple Upside Down Cupcake and the Old-Fashioned Cupcake.
Downtown Disney Sprinkles
If you love cupcakes as much as we do, we have some exciting news for you! Sprinkles has announced its lineup of August Flavor Feature Cupcakes!
BoardWalk Bakery at BoardWalk Inn and Villas
is always ready with a seasonal cupcake, and right now they’re got a playful option that’s all dressed up for St. Patrick’s Day!
St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake
The St. Patrick’s Day Cupcake is chocolate cake, whipped vanilla buttercream, and a fun Oreo that’s been dipped halfway in green. [Read more…]
Spring has sprung in Walt Disney World
, and amidst all the changes in greenery and scenery (particularly at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival), we’re also seeing lots of dramatic menu changes. (We shared the overhaul at Electric Umbrella over the weekend!) And today, we’re at Liberty Inn, the quick service spot located in Epcot’s American Adventure (a/k/a the America Pavilion!).
Liberty Inn
We found the cutest treat at Sunshine Seasons in Epcot’s The Land Pavilion!
The Land is the huge building at the back of the park that houses Soarin’, Living with the Land, and the beloved counter service spot Sunshine Seasons! The counter-service restaurant has a great selection of meals including an oak-grilled station with oak-grilled salmon, sandwich station (wraps included!), and even an Asian grill station, where you can find fan-favorite Mongolian Beef and Fried Rice!
As if that weren’t reason enough to visit Sunshine Seasons, you can also find some ah-mazing treats like our favorites the warm peanut butter brownie and the strawberry shortcake.

But today we found a new addition to the dessert section — this Mickey Oreo Cheesecake!

3-2013 UPDATE:
Unfortunately, we haven’t seen these in the parks for the past year or so. 🙁

Every once in a while I come across something in Disney World that makes me do a double take. One example of this is the giant gummy bear in Epcot’s Germany, and another example is the giant Oreo cookie sandwich.
Giant Oreo Cookie Sandwich
So those are, indeed, massive Oreo cookies sandwiched around flavored cream (chocolate, peanut butter, mint, or vanilla). They even say Oreo on them! And they are truly large — probably about three inches across.
A lot of care goes into making these sandwiches, which are put together right in Disney World’s candy stores. Here’s one cast member putting together peanut butter-flavored cookie sandwiches at Goofy’s Candy Company.

Now, the version I purchased in the Magic Kingdom happened to be dipped in chocolate:
