food IS a theme park
Higher. Further. Faster. With the success of Captain Marvel’s opening weekend it’s no surprise she’s soared into the dessert cases at Walt Disney World!
Captain Marvel Tart
We found this tart at the Intermission Food Court at All-Star Music. Officially called the “Hero Passion Raspberry Tart,” it’s $5.29 or one DDP Snack Credit.
Saint Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and we are starting to see appropriately themed desserts pop up around Walt Disney World — like this ADORABLE cheesecake!
Luck O’ the Irish Caramel Baileys Cheesecake
We found this cutie in the dessert case at the Intermission Food Court at Disney’s All-Star Music Resort. It’s $5.29 or one Disney Dining Plan Snack Credit.
We tried the in-the-know Red Velvet Bread Pudding at Sprinkles in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs last month, and we loved it! Ooey, gooey, covered in frosting; it was pretty much everything we love in a dessert. But now we know, the Red Velvet Bread Pudding is nearing the end of its run!

Sprinkles regularly changes out its offerings, so this isn’t a huge surprise; you’ll want to get there soon if you want to try it. [Read more…]
Jambo from Harambe Village in Disney’s Animal Kingdom! After a spin on Kilimanjaro Safari, we couldn’t resist popping into Zuri’s Sweet Shop to see if they had any new treats for us to try. And we are so glad we did because we found the CUTEST cookie. Introducing the MICKEY DONUT COOKIE!
Mickey Donut Cookies
I mean, how adorable are they!? For those who are big fans of donuts, you probably realized that they’ve made the ears and center of Mickey into glazed donuts! To be clear though, this is a frosted cookie, not a donut.
As Epcot’s Festival of the Arts prepares to close on February 25 signs the Flower and Garden Festival opening on March 6 are popping up! Our latest visit to Epcot saw some Flower and Garden food booths and topiaries being set up. But, that isn’t all, we also saw some construction progress, new merchandise, and some awesome chalk art!
Hello from Epcot!
We’ll start out with some Festival of the Arts chalk art — and deals!
Cafe Rix at Walt Disney World’s Coronado Springs Resort
is the hotel’s quick service and grab-and-go dining location. The pastry case here is usually a little above-par for a hotel food court, but this latest cupcake… takes the cake. And the dropper. And the buttercream. It just takes it all.
Entry to Cafe Rix
Our Insta-pal @mrs.everydaymommy shared the Mocha Cupcake (at least…that’s what we’re calling it — there wasn’t a sign ;-D) with us, and we’re jazzed that she did. [Read more…]
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Company
, a food kiosk located in Disney World’s Disney Springs, is known for a menu of — what else! — sausages! And recently the menu was overhauled to include a few brand new sausage options.
B.B. Wolf’s Sausage Co.
We tried versions of a couple of the new options way back when B.B. Wolf’s first opened (click here to see: they were just Three Little Pigs at that time!). [Read more…]
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.
Mickey Ice Cream Bars at Home
But our DFB readers are THE BEST, and we’ve heard from a lot of you (from Georgia to Missouri to California!) with tips on where you’ve found the Mickey Bars in your local grocery stores. So we’re gathering your tips and safeguarding them here! [Read more…]
Walt Disney World
is never shy to jump on the bandwagon of snack trends, and we love them for it! Edible cookie dough is one such trend — and it’s popping up all over the place! We first spotted it at All-Star Sports back in July, then it arrived (in Mickey style!!) at AristoCrepes in Disney Springs. Now there’s a second Disney Springs locale getting in on the action: B. B. Wolf’s!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Flavor combinations in edible cookie dough can be as diverse as cookies themselves, and AristoCrepes offered the most unique combo we’d seen thus far with Gingerbread Butterscotch. But B. B. Wolf’s is taking it there with Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough!
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
Bacon in dessert can be a little hit or miss for us, but this one looks promising enough with lots of crispy bacon bits on top of the otherwise ordinary-looking cookie dough. The bacon, sadly, isn’t caramelized or sweetened in anyway, so it’s just a serious savory bomb. This creates a really stark contrast to the otherwise sweet dessert.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
For us, this uber-savory addition didn’t work. It’s too salty and overpowers the (relatively nonexistent) maple and chocolate, both of which take a backseat to the super-salty bacon. There are plenty of chocolate chips in there, but they can’t compete with the bossy bacon. And the cookie dough flavor itself just isn’t there.
Maple Bacon Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough
The concept we do not dispute, but it’s a little clunky and thus out of balance. If you’re spending $4.50, find a snack that’s hitting all the right notes, not one that needs to be edited.
What kind of cookie dough would you love to see the Disney Parks try next? Let us know in the comments!
, the quick service dining spot at Walt Disney World’s Wilderness Lodge, is known for showing cupcakes some love. Remember the totally awesome Campfire Cupcake?
Roaring Fork Sign
And we were excited to break the news that the loaded waffles were back at this quick-service staple recently, too!
Loaded Mickey Waffles at Roaring Fork
Well, the pastry wizards at Roaring Fork are at it again, this time bringing the flavor with the Chocolate Peppermint cupcake of the month.
