food IS a theme park
There’s a lot going on this holiday season at Disney’s California Adventure Park!
2019 Disney California Adventure Festival of Holidays
With Festival of Holidays currently under way, there’s no shortage of festivities, fun, and more importantly, FOOD.
We’re headed to Animal Kingdom for their biggest holiday celebration ever!
Animal Kingdom this Holiday Season!
This year, the park is getting in on the holiday action with new offerings, decor, and treats! We’ve seen Peppermint soft-serve, and the Christmas lion paw cookie, but if you’re getting just ONE thing at Animal Kingdom during the holidays, make it this!
Every year around Halloween, we anxiously await the return of The Great Pumpkin Pancakes!
Pumpkin Pancakes at Kona Cafe
Found at Disney’s Polynesian Resort’s Kona Cafe, the Pumpkin Pancakes they’re serving up this year are topped with a new cinnamon butter, pieces of spiced pecans, and candied pumpkin! Oh man, this is GONNA BE GOOD!
Warning! If you think pumpkin spice “everything” is soooo basic, you might have a change of heart when you see this…

Yes, friends! You’re looking at Pumpkin Spice DOLE WHIP!!! Disney’s really swung for the fences with this one! But maybe things will make more sense to you when you find out where you can get this!
Just when we thought Disney’s Animal Kingdom might be going straight from Halloween to Christmas, they surprised us with a new cupcake perfect for the time in between the spooky season and the holiday season.

is a mainstay on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Resort. It’s got all the Victorian charm of the iconic park’s main drag, plus it’s full of classic and new treats. It’s the place to get a Raspberry Macaron, creative Cupcakes, and everything in between.
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
Our Disneyland correspondent Heather (follow her adventures on Instagram @DiningInDisney!) stopped in recently to pick up two seasonal treats — both using summer’s jewel: lemon!

Happy Thanksgiving!
With Autumn waning, and the Winter Holidays just around the corner, we couldn’t resist offering you one last beautiful, delicious look at this colorful season.
Fortunately, a trip to The Mara provided a couple of great options to celebrate the season.
Having enjoyed lunch in the Parks, I decided to drop by The Mara and see what was new in the pastry case. I was excited to see lots of Fall colors and flavors! The first sweet that caught my eye was this Autumn-Themed Chocolate Pecan Tart.
The bold colors of the Chocolate Garnish were the perfect complement for the season. And I was intrigued by the obvious color in the Whipped Cream that topped the Tart.

Cutting into the Tart, it was obvious that this was a rich, moist pecan pie filling — nothing dry about this!

If you’re a fan of that classic carnival treat, the funnel cake, I’ve got something that should make your Disney eats list!
Disney specializes in funnel cakes of all kinds — plain; cinnamon sugar; topped with apples, chocolate, strawberries, whipped cream; etc.
But there’s one spot in the “World” that offers seasonal flavors of these fried up goodies…that I haven’t found anywhere else!
Funnel Cakes Sign in Epcot's American Adventure
Yep! Epcot’s American Adventure Funnel Cake kiosk features a couple of special flavors that you can only get at certain times of the year: Strawberry Funnel Cakes and Pumpkin Spice Funnel Cakes.
American Adventure Funnel Cake Kiosk Menu
While I haven’t seen both on the menu at the same time, it’s always fun to stop by the kiosk and see what’s available when you’re there! Usually it’s Pumpkin Spice for Fall and Winter…
