REVIEW: Disneyland Added a New $6 Side, and I Will Be Ordering 100 – Try To Stop Me

Disneyland, you did not hold back with these snacks!

Let’s eat!

We’re always looking for new snacks at Disney World and Disneyland, and while we have our returning favorites, we could probably live off of the new snacks they drop every week. This time, we’re heading to two different restaurants to try some dishes that we don’t think we’ll ever be able to live without.

First up, we’re heading to Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante, located in Frontierland. We started with the Mexican-style Shrimp Cocktail for $12.99, with poached shrimp, tomatoes, red onions, cilantro, cucumber, celery, and spicy cocktail sauce served with crackers.

Shrimp Cocktail

While we thought this was a solid shrimp cocktail, it wasn’t necessarily our favorite dish of all time. The tomato sauce has some sweetness, and a lot of tartness still shines through. There’s a good amount of spice and a bit of a kick at the end. The shrimp are perfectly cooked, and the flavors work well together; you also get about ten shrimp, so it’s easy to share. We wish we got a little more for the price, and we had a lot of tomato sauce left by the end, so we needed a bit more shrimp!

We also had the Nachos for $14.99, made with tortilla chips, beans, guajillo cheese sauce, house-made tomatillo salsas, red jalapeños, sour cream, and guacamole.

Nachos

This isn’t the first time this restaurant has had nachos, and in the past, they were some of our favorite foods in the park! You’ll want to eat these as soon as they come out because the toppings can make the nachos very cheesy. They have a bit of a spicy kick from two different salsas, plus flavorful cheese, and while the flavors all go together, we wish we could add a protein on top, like beef or pork. When we asked, it wasn’t an available option, and it wasn’t as fresh as we were hoping. It felt particularly one-note and a bit underwhelming. When you need nachos, this might do the trick, but you’ll likely find better meals throughout the park.

Lots of toppings

To drink, we grabbed the Horchata Slushy for $8.49.

Horchata Slushy

This was the highlight of our meal! It tastes just like authentic horchata and was super refreshing and delicious. We loved that it wasn’t that expensive of an add-on and really brought the whole meal together.

We had one more stop for the day before we called it quits. We went to Bengal Barbecue in Adventureland to grab the Garlic Naan, which is grilled bread basted with herb butter, for $5.79.

Garlic Naan

The bread was fluffy, buttery, and super garlicky! We loved the flame-broiled, toasted flavor of the bread, and once you add a skewer like the Bengal Beef Skewer, it’s a total game changer. It’s filling and a great addition to Bengal Barbecue, and we’ll be adding it every time we order from here.

With the beef

REVIEW: This Disney Dessert Is Covered in Blood and Comes With a Knife …And We Love It

Downtown Disney at Disneyland Resort has so many places to eat that it’s easy to pass by some hidden gems, but that’s what we’re here for!

Naples Ristorante E Bar

We recently stopped by Naples Ristorante E Bar at the Downtown Disney District because we heard of a new treat for spooky season. Is this something worth going out of your way for this fall? Well, there’s only one way to find out!

If you head to Naples Ristorante E Bar, you can grab the Pumpkin Blood-Scotch Cannoli for $12. The cannoli is filled with pumpkin and butterscotch chip cream, topped with whipped cream, red caramel drizzle, and a sugar knife.

Pumpkin Blood-Scotch Cannoli

This treat is very pumpkin-forward and very crispy. It should be eaten with your hands, but the drizzle prevents that. The dough is butterscotch-infused and has a coffee-like flavor about it. The cream is light and fluffy, and we feel like the butterscotch and pumpkin each take turns being the star.

Pumpkin Blood-Scotch Cannoli

The chips add a surprising crunch on the inside. The whipped cream is light with hints of those “fall” tones, but the drizzle is not nearly as subtle. It’s a red caramel, and it’s sweet. It can be overpowering at times, and we think pulling back just a tad might’ve made this even better.

Pumpkin Blood-Scotch Cannoli

The sugar knife is just sugar-tasting and the definition of inoffensive. It’s sweet yet bland, but it’ll get covered in everything else anyway

Look at the sugar knife!

We don’t think kids will like this, but fans of fall flavors like butterscotch and pumpkin should be appeased by this. We think it’s reliably solid, and the fact that you get two makes this a fair value. It is really messy to eat, so we would be aware of that.

This was good!

We’re always on the hunt for eats and treats around Disneyland Resort, so if you’re looking for more reviews, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog!

REVIEW: Wait! Did We Love ALL 11 Of These Disneyland Halloween Treats?

Halloween has officially arrived in Disneyland! Which means fall decorations, Oogie Boogie Bash, and lots of exclusive Halloween treats to try.

Sally Pumpkin Spiced Cupcake

There are lots of new Halloween treats to try this year, and today we are bringing you reviews of all 11 treats we tried to see if they should be added to your list if you are visiting Disneyland this Halloween season.

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

Disney revealed so many new treats that all look incredible, which means it’s going to be SO difficult to narrow down which treats you want to prioritize this year. So today we are bringing you full reviews of a bunch of Disneyland treats, so you know if it should make it onto your list.

Fall in Disneyland

First up, we visited Market House to try the Churro Hand Pie for $6.49. This is a pastry crust filled with spiced cake, with cinnamon and sugar on top. This tasted very similar to a coffee cake that was placed inside a pie crust. The inside was so soft, and the thick layer of cinnamon really came through!

Churro Hand Pie

The flavor was strong and came through extremely well without being overpoweringly sweet. A word of warning: this treat was very messy between the cinnamon sugar and how crumbly it was, so be prepared with napkins. This isn’t something we would go out of our way to try again, but it was very delicious, and if you love coffee cake, this is a great option for you!

Churro Hand Pie

We also visited Alien Pizza Planet to check out the Alien Macarooooon for $9.49. This is made with a classic sweet macaron shell, with a tart berry filling, and an adorable Toy Story design. When you first bite into this treat, you get a tart flavor quickly followed by a nice sweet kick.

Alien Macarooooon

That sweetness comes from the sugar in the shell, while the center is very tart with a berry flavoring. The Alien’s eyes are made with white chocolate. Overall, this is a great mix of sweet and tart, and it’s a great portion for the price. If you are looking for an absolutely adorable treat this Halloween season, you should try this!

Alien Macarooooon

Next up, we went over to Edelweiss Snacks to grab the Matterhorn puff for $7.49. This is filled with cinnamon apples and cream, topped with chocolate and sugar. We were shocked by how much we enjoyed this treat! There was so much of the incredible cream filling, which was complemented so well by the cinnamon apples.

Matterhorn Puff

The cinnamon flavor came through really well without being overpowering. The shell was perfectly soft, and the chocolate on top was an amazing addition to finish off this treat. Overall, this was a really good treat and definitely worth a try.

Matterhorn Puff

Next, we took a trip over to Schmoozies! to try the Matcha Mickey Shaped Waffles for $10.99. This is made with matcha-flavored batter, matcha powder, banana custard filling, and whipped cream. While these might not be the cutest snack, they were very tasty! The matcha flavor was very mild, and the banana custard complemented the matcha very well.

Matcha Mickey Waffles

We would recommend eating these quick because the custard does make the waffle a little soggy. The whipped cream added a nice sweetness, and the most prominent flavor here was definitely banana, so if you are not a banana fan, you might want to skip this. These flavors were amazing, and we would recommend giving this a try if you love matcha and banana!

Matcha Mickey Waffles

We also stopped by the Cappuccino Cart in Disney’s California Adventure to try the Mickey-Shaped Waffle Macaron for $9.50. This is a Mickey-shaped macaron with Salted Maple Buttercream, Maple Syrup, and chocolate-coated waffle pieces.

Mickey Macaron Waffle

This was full of rich caramel, vanilla, toffee, and maple syrup. That was very sweet, and the buttery interior really added to that sweetness. If you love sugar and sweetness, or you’re craving waffles, this will satisfy you and is worth a try!

Mickey Macaron Waffle

Next up, we took a trip over to Lucky Fortune Cookery to try two snacks. First up, we got the Seasonal Baymax Macaron for $8.99. This is made with Ube cream and a salted caramel filling.

Seasonal Baymax Macaron

This was one of the richer and sweeter Seasonal Baymax Macarons we have tried, and it was delicious. The Ube and Caramel flavors worked together very well, and we really enjoyed this. But be warned that the cream is VERY purple and will dye your hands, so make sure you have napkins.

Seasonal Baymax Macaron

We also tried the Three Milk Ube Tea for $7.99. This is made with Ube Milk Tea, Boba, Whipped Cream, and shredded coconut. This drink was shockingly very good!

Three Milk Ube Tea

It was super refreshing and a little heavier, so if you want to try lots of snacks, know that this one might be more filling. Both the whipped cream and coconut added a good flavor, but the texture of the coconut shreds was a bit odd. This was very tasty, and we would definitely try this again!

Three Milk Ube Tea

Next, we grabbed the Fluffernutter Churro for $8. This is a classic Churro topped with peanut butter sauce, marshmallow sauce, and chocolate chips.

Fluffernutter Churro

This was ooey gooey, warm, and ultra sweet. The peanut butter and chocolate were a natural blend, although the marshmallow did get a little lost in the mix. The cinnamon churro added an extra layer of sweetness. This was heavy but very tasty. Overall, we felt like this was slightly overpriced for what you got, but it was still a good treat and a must-try if you love peanut butter.

Fluffernutter Churro

Then we went over to Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlor to try the Rest in Chocolate for $12.79. This is Chocolate Ice Cream in a Chocolate-Covered Waffle Cup, with Chocolate Cookie Crumbles, Gummy Worms, and a Chocolate Tombstone.

We LOVED this one! This was an incredible value: you get two big scoops of ice cream (you can choose any flavor you want), and there are tons of those toppings throughout. You could definitely share this, and we would get this one again, cause you can’t go wrong with Ice Cream covered in Oreos on a hot day!

Rest in Chocolate

Last up, we visited Grand Hall Cart Halloween Treats and got two items. First up, the Gingerbread Skeleton Cookie for $11. This was a classic Gingerbread Cookie covered in icing.

Gingerbread Skeleton Cookie

This might be one of the best gingerbread cookies we’ve ever tried. The cookie was soft, airy, and had an amazing texture. The gingerbread flavor was strong without being overpowering, and the cookie itself was not exceedingly sweet. The icing on top added to the sweetness, but it was the perfect amount and was not overpowering. We LOVED this one.

Gingerbread Skeleton Cookie

Finally, we grabbed the Sally Pumpkin Cupcake for $9. This is made with devil’s food chocolate chip cake with a coffee fudge filling, topped with pumpkin spice buttercream. The cake was moist, airy, and delicious!

Sally Pumpkin Spiced Cupcake

The devil’s food chocolate chip cake was super subtle, but there weren’t any actual chocolate chips in the cake. The chocolate flavor comes through from the coffee fudge, and the pumpkin spice buttercream made everything exceptionally balanced. The cinnamon to nutmeg to pumpkin ratio was perfect, with none of them overpowering the other. This was rich, decadent, and a must-try this Halloween season!

Sally Pumpkin Spiced Cupcake

What Eating at 24 Disney Restaurants Taught Us Last Month

At DisneyFoodBlog, we eat our way through Disney World and Disneyland so you don’t have to guess.

The full spread!

Every month, our team of reporters hits table service spots, quick service counters, lounges, and everything in between, ordering the new menu items, the classics, and the dishes everyone’s talking about online. We take notes on flavor, value, portion size, and whether a dish is actually worth the wait or the price tag, because we know that on a Disney vacation, every meal is also a budget decision and a memory in the making. Last month, our team ate at 24 different restaurants across both coasts. We can’t cover every single bite in one article, but we’re highlighting five standout meals that taught us something important about dining in the parks right now — and we think these lessons will help you plan your next trip.

Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar Proves Appetizers Can Steal the Show

When we headed to Jock Lindsey’s Hangar Bar, we started with the Bread Dip Pyramid, a $13 combo of Brazilian cheese bread, creamy tomato sauce, and a smoky chorizo dip. The sauce turned out to be the real star, thick and chunky with tomato, acidic and rich all at once, with the chorizo bringing a meaty depth and just a mild kick of spice. The cheese bread itself was soft and airy with a crisp exterior, pulling apart easily while still holding its shape against all that dipping. This meal taught us two things worth remembering: first, that Skipper Canteen isn’t the only place to find great Brazilian cheese bread at Disney World anymore, and second, that Jock Lindsey’s continues to be one of the most reliable stops for appetizers and cocktails in all of Disney Springs. If you’re tempted to skip the lounge menu in favor of a “real” meal elsewhere, this is your reminder not to.

Bread Dip Pyramid

Capa Reminds Us That Splurges Are Sometimes Worth It

Few meals this month made an impression quite like Capa. The NY Strip Steak with blackened caramelized onions was good enough to earn a permanent spot on one reviewer’s special-occasion list, and the combination of outstanding food, incredible service, and impeccable views made the case that some restaurants genuinely justify their price tag. Our lesson here is a simple one for readers planning a milestone trip: When you’re celebrating something big, Capa is the kind of place where the extra cost buys an experience, not just a plate of food.

New York Strip

Rix Sports Bar and Grill Now Has Churro Waffles

Breakfast got a serious upgrade with Rix Sports Bar & Grill‘s new Chicken and Mickey Waffles for $20 — Mickey-shaped churro waffles topped with crispy Nashville hot chicken tenders, hot honey maple, and a dusting of powdered sugar. The Nashville sauce dripped down onto the plate, so nearly every bite carried some heat alongside the sweetness, and the churro flavor baked into the waffles took the dish beyond a typical chicken-and-waffles combo. It landed at a pleasant medium heat rather than anything punishing, with the best bites coming from dragging those sweet waffles through the spicy sauce. What we took away from this one is that Disney’s kitchens are leaning harder into bold sweet-and-spicy flavor combinations lately, and it’s worth seeking these dishes out if that flavor profile appeals to you — just come prepared for a little bit of heat.

Churro Chicken and Waffles

Golden Oak Outpost Proves Quick Service Can Still Surprise You

At Golden Oak Outpost, the Hot Honey Chicken Strips for $12.99 came with marshmallow and candied pecan-topped sweet potato waffle fries, and the whole plate over-delivered for a quick counter-service lunch. The chicken was crunchy and coated in hot honey with a great sweet-heat balance, while the waffle fries brought nostalgic marshmallow flavor with just enough hot honey drizzle to tie the whole plate together. The candied pecans added a nutty note that some might find a touch sweet, but it balanced nicely against the chicken’s spice. This meal taught us not to underestimate quick service: Disney World chicken strips, a menu staple most guests think they already know, can still get better.

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby Sets a New Bar for Downtown Disney

Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby recently opened at Downtown Disney. We were blown away by the Beef Wellington, priced at $73 and served with potato puree, fresh herb salad, and red wine demi. It lived up to every bit of its reputation. Cooked to a perfect medium-rare and wrapped in crispy puff pastry with mushroom duxelles and Dijon mustard, our reporter called it “utter perfection,” and the red wine demi and elevated potato puree rounded out a genuinely show-stopping plate. This restaurant is worth booking if you want a meal that impresses even seasoned Disney food reporters, if your family is fans of Gordon Ramsay and his shows, or if you simply need a slower, more upscale pace during an otherwise chaotic Disneyland day. Our takeaway: this quickly became one of our favorite Downtown Disney restaurants, full stop.

Read Our Full Review of Gordon Ramsay at The Carnaby Here!

Beef Wellington

Taken together, these five meals show just how wide the range of “worth it” can be at Disney. Sometimes it’s a $13 appetizer at a lounge, and sometimes it’s a $73 entrée at a celebrity chef’s table — and both can earn a spot on your must-do list. The throughline across everything we ate this month was flavor experimentation: kitchens across both coasts are leaning into bold sweet-and-spicy combinations, elevating quick-service classics, and proving that even reliable comfort foods like cheese bread and chicken strips can be reinvented in new ways. Our biggest lesson for readers planning their own trips is to keep an open mind about where you spend your dining budget — some of the best bites we had all month weren’t at the fanciest restaurants.

Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby

That’s exactly why we keep doing this. With so many restaurants, menus, and price points across Disney World and Disneyland, it’s easy to end up spending money on a meal that just isn’t worth it and just as easy to walk right past something incredible. Be sure to keep checking back with DFB for all of our latest restaurant reviews, new menu item taste tests, and dining guides, so you always know exactly where to spend your time and money on your next Disney vacation.

REVIEW: Disney Beignets For Breakfast? Yes, Please!

If you’ve been to Disneyland, you might agree with us when we say that Disneyland has some of the best food, snacks, and drinks of ALL the parks. Between things like churros, churro toffee, Mickey beignets, and corn dogs, Disneyland just keeps CRUSHING the food game.

New snacks alert!

However, Disneyland also releases a lot of delicious seasonal and limited-time treats, and something new is arriving all the time. So when we learned about four new snacks in Downtown Disney and at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel, we rushed to the shopping and dining district to check them out for ourselves.

Click here to subscribe

Let’s start at the Grand Californian Hotel. Every month, GCH Craftsman Grill offers a Hot Dog of the Month, and this month’s hot dog is the Aloha Bacon Dog for $18, which is an All-Beef Hot Dog topped with Maui onion aioli, applewood smoked bacon, mango-pineapple relish, crispy shallots, and fried green onions, and served on a toasted Hawaiian sweet roll. First up, serving this on a Hawaiian roll was a stroke of genius — that just adds that bit of extra flavor that makes this hot dog go from good to great.

Aloha Bacon Dog

You’ve got a nice sweet and tart flavor coming from the relish, but the bacon adds a nice smokiness. However, we didn’t really taste the onion aioli. We kinda’ wish this had some kind of sauce on it, too, and think that’s the only thing it was really missing. There’s a nice crunch from the shallots and fried green onions, so the texture is on point, too. We were served sweet potato fries on the side, which really brought the whole meal together and made it worth the price.

It’s a fantastic dog!

Then we headed into Downtown Disney to hit up Beignets Expressed. We picked up the Breakfast Duo for $9.99, which is a Berry Bliss and Coco Crunch Beignet.

Breakfast Duo

The Berry Bliss has a berry glaze on it that tastes a little too artificial. It’s playing on the flavors of Fruity Pebbles, so maybe that’s the point. We did like the fruity cereal on top that gave it a good crunch, but the artificial flavors make this overbearingly sweet.

Berry Bliss

The Choco Crunch was perfectly sweet, though. It has a light glaze and Cocoa Pebbles on top, and all of these flavors really worked well together. It’s the perfect amount of chocolatiness that doesn’t take too much away from the beignet itself. This is our favorite of the two beignets we tried.

Choco Crunch

Finally, we headed over to Parkside Market to visit GG’s Chicken Shop, but we weren’t there for chicken. Instead, we ordered the Family Gold D23 Cheesecake for $8, which is in honor of the upcoming D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event. It’s a creamy mascarpone and purple ube cheesecake atop a graham cracker crust, topped with a D23 chocolate wafer. First, you need to really like ube because that’s the biggest flavor you’re going to get here.

Family Gold D23 Cheesecake

You do get a bit of a cheesecake flavor and texture, but the ube is the star here. We did like that the ube flavor tasted natural.

It’s very purple

We’ll be trying even more food in Disneyland soon, so stay tuned to DFB for more.

REVIEW: Is This New Disney Snack Even Better Than We Imagined?

Looking for the perfect summer treat at Disneyland? We may have found it!

Hoa Aloha Float

There’s nothing we like more than walking around Disney, looking for new eats and treats to try. We recently went to Disneyland Park and tried a brand-new DOLE Whip. Let’s just say, this may have been the first time we’ve had it this summer, but it definitely won’t be our last!

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

If you’re looking for a tasty summer treat, head over to The Tropical Hideaway in Adventureland at Disneyland Park. There you’ll find the HOA Aloha Float for $9.99.

Let’s try the HOA Aloha Float

This is a Pineapple DOLE Whip with cucumber-lime agua fresca, chamoy, and candied kiwi. It was presented in a way that looked both cute and delicious.

Hoa Aloha Float

This exceeded all of our expectations! Starting with the candied kiwi, it was like a candied dry fruit texture. We honestly didn’t really taste the traditional kiwi flavor. It was just more like a candied flavor, which might be a win for some and a loss for others. The cucumber-lime agua fresca was very refreshing and so flavorful with the DOLE whip! The chamoy is an added flavor profile that really brings the flavors together. We seriously couldn’t recommend this enough, and think this is the Disneyland treat of the summer. We’re giving this a confident 5/5. This snack might be too much for those who love simple flavors, but it was perfect for us.

This was amazing!

If you’re planning a vacation to the “Most Magical Place on Earth” soon, there’s no need to stress! The agents at Small World Vacations know how to save money on your Disney Vacation! When you book your trip with Small World Vacations, their experienced agents monitor your reservation for possible future savings.

REVIEW: This NEW Disney Snack Comes With 12 In A Box, And It’s Still Not Enough

Disneyland is all about NEW these days!

Welcome, BigBoi Lumpia Co!

The theme park is wrapping up its big 70th anniversary celebrations and planning BIG things for the future. While we made our way through the resort hunting for all of the big updates and new changes, we noticed we were a little peckish! What better way to satisfy our hunger than to check out the brand-new BigBoi Lumpia Co. snack stand in Downtown Disney?

Click here to subscribe

Welcome to Downtown Disney, BigBoi Lumpia! This is a Los Angeles-based company that focuses on Filipino comfort food, specifically lumpia. This new snack stand offers up three savory lumpia and two sweet lumpia. During our stop by, they also had a sign for a limited-time apple pie flavor.

The menu

During our stop by, we tested out 3 of the new flavors, starting with the Pork Lumpia for $14. This snack comes with a sweet chili sauce and 12 lumpia in each box.

Two of our items together!

While they might look small and simple from the outside, the inside packs a punch of flavor. The seasoning on the pork was very apparent and perfectly savory. Every bite into the snack came with a perfect crunch thanks to the deep-fried thin pastry that serves as the outside. These were filled with pork, veggies, and more for balance in every bite.

A look inside the Pork Lumpia

The sauce that comes with it pairs wonderfully with the pork. It was slightly sweet with a nice kick of subtle heat from the chilis. This could be sharable, but we didn/’t want to share it!

Be sure to dip it!

We also tried the Chicken Lumpia for $14. They are also served 12 in a box with sweet chili sauce on the side. Don’t be fooled, from the outside they look just like the pork, but there is a difference!

The chicken and the pork lumpia are side by side.

In our opinion, the chicken isn’t as flavorful as the pork, but we still really enjoyed them. The chicken flavor is milder than the pork, with less savory seasoning. The chicken also seems to have more veggies in each bite, but that could also be that the vegetable flavor stands out more with the milder chicken. The sauce has the same sweet and spicy balance that made each bite a bit more dynamic and exciting. If you’re looking to try the snack but want something with more familiar flavors, this might be a good option for you!

A look inside the chicken!

Finally, we grabbed the Ube Lumpia for $13.50. This was the sweet option of the bunch, and it was quite a bit bigger than the savory ones. These come with a vanilla icing sauce.

The Ube compared to the Chicken Lumpia

For those unfamiliar, ube is a purple yam that is native to the Philippines and offers a sweet and almost nutty flavor. In our experience, Ube can be a difficult flavor to master because it can often times come across as artificial. Luckily, that was not the case with this dessert! This snack had a natural sweetness that we really appreciated, and the texture was a bit thicker.

Inside the Ube!

The sauce was a real standout here. It was similar to a thick vanilla pudding that paired beautifully with the crunchy lumpia. This was a big hit for us!

How tasty!

Honestly, you can’t go wrong with any of these items based on our experience, and they’re perfectly shareable for your entire group. Be warned, you might need to go back for more if you really love them! We can’t wait to see more changes as they come to Disneyland, but for now, you can find us over at BigBoi Lumpia. Be sure to keep following DFB for more Disney news, reviews, and more.

REVIEW: Disneyland Just CHANGED an Iconic Disney Treat

The Fourth of July celebration was a big one this year, as America celebrated its 250th anniversary! We’re sure it was an amazing celebration wherever you were, but there was something special about being at Disneyland Resort.

250th Celebration Dipped Mickey Bar

Everyone loves a classic Mickey Bar when at the Disney Parks. It’s one of, if not THE, most iconic snacks at Disney. Well, Disneyland completely changed the beloved Disney treat for July 4th, and we couldn’t pass up on it. Does this hold up to the icon that the Mickey Bar is? We got thoughts for you!

Click here to subscribe

We recently went to Disney California Adventure for the 250th celebration, and we spotted a brand-new patriotic version of the Mickey Bar. It’s called the 250th Celebration Dipped Mickey Bar, and it’s available for $7.99. We grabbed ours at Clarabelle’s Hand Scooped Ice Cream.

New Mickey Bar!

The treat is your classic Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar. However, this one has half of it dipped in white chocolate and coated with red, white, and blue sprinkles.

250th Celebration Dipped Mickey Bar

We have absolutely nothing bad to say about a white chocolate and milk chocolate dipped Mickey bar! Of course, you’d look at it and think this is bound to be delicious, and that is correct. We love the white chocolate on this Mickey Bar. It’s a great addition that we honestly wish could be a full-time thing.

This is delicious!

It’s super sweet and refreshing on a hot summer day in California. Add in those crunchy festive sprinkles, and you undoubtedly have yourself a delicious sweet treat in the parks. You get a lot for the cost of the treat, too. It’s great value (which isn’t something we say about a lot of treats), and it’s definitely worth the price with the addition of the white chocolate and sprinkles. This is a perfect 5/5, making an already beloved sweet treat even BETTER! It’s not a huge change, but it is a good one for a limited time. 

We wish this was here forever!

REVIEW: The Long Line Is WORTH IT at This NEW Downtown Disney Restaurant!

A dining spot has finally reopened in Downtown Disney, and to say we’re thrilled would be the understatement of the century.

Earl of Sandwich is BACK!

We’ve had an Earl of Sandwich in Disney Springs for years now, and now it’s finally returned to Downtown Disney, the shopping and dining district of the Disneyland Resort, in its NEW spot! Disney has said they are officially open, and the grand opening ceremony is happening on July 15th! Let’s just say this spot is just as fantastic as we remember.

The new Earl of Sandwich is now open in its new two-story location, and while the line was long when we arrived, it moved super smoothly. Just like the old location, you order at one kiosk and then pay at another. On the menu, you’ll find classic favorites, as well as some fun new items, and we loved the huge assortment of freshly baked cookies and cakes.

Earl of Sandwich

For our main entree, we grabbed the Whole Roasted Pastrami Sandwich for $18.99, and this was fantastic.

Whole Roasted Pastrami Sandwich

The meat is carved to order, and the sandwich is prepared fresh on the spot. The marbled rye bread was soft, fresh, and flavorful but not too strong. The pastrami was melt-in-your-mouth perfection, and the Swiss cheese and sauerkraut were proportioned well so they didn’t take away from the pastrami flavor. The Dijonaise spread is the perfect condiment for this sandwich. The portion is giant, so though the price tag is a little hefty at $18.99, its quality is comparable to a nice sandwich you’d get at a table service meal.

This was incredible!

For dessert, we had to snag the Cinnamon Toast Crisp Cookie for $5.99, which we watched them make right in front of us!

Cinnamon Toast Crisp Cookie

The cookie is giant, super soft, with lots of flavor. It’s very sweet and perfect for sharing! Ours was made seconds before we tried it, so the cereal was crunchy and so fresh. For $5.99, this is a generously sized treat that’s absolutely shareable.

We can’t get enough

We also tried the peach lemonade, which was very refreshing. The main downside here is that there’s not a ton of seating like the old location. The patio is much smaller, and there’s not a whole lot of indoor seating, so you may find yourself wanting to take your food elsewhere.

REVIEW: This Gelato Tastes Like DOLE Whip in Disney, and Life Could Not Be Better

If you’ve got a trip planned to come to the Disneyland Resort this summer, you’re probably trying to figure out where the best spot to get a frozen treat is!

Happy Ice!

Well, a brand-new snack stand just opened at Downtown Disney at the Disneyland Resort, and this might be the spot to cool you down this summer. We had to check out this new stand, and we’re bringing you our full review. Is this worth going out of your way for? Let’s find out!

The new snack spot at Downtown Disney is called Happy Ice. The brand sells Italian ice, and it’s known for its fruity flavors and frozen desserts. Did you know that this is the first permanent Black-owned dessert company in the shopping and dining district at Disneyland Resort?!

Happy Ice!

They had so many flavors to choose from! We’re warning you, you might stand there for a while trying to figure out which flavor is speaking to you.

So many flavors!

We ended up getting two frozen treats, starting with the Time Machine for $12.00. The treats do come in different sizes, and we ended up going with a large.

Time Machine

This tasted like an elevated DOLE Whip! It’s so incredibly refreshing and tasty. The texture is like a smooth gelato with a slight crunch like shaved ice and a tang like a sorbet. It’s popular for a reason, and the flavors just go so well together.

This is delicious!

You can taste each of the flavors separately, yet altogether, if that makes sense!? A large is deceivingly huge and a perfect shareable size…or you can keep it all to yourself! We’re giving this a perfect 5/5, and we would definitely get this flavor again!

This was amazing!

The other flavor we got was the Rainbow Gelati for $15, also in a large. This one had a scoop of Joy-Lati, which is the ice cream you can get on top of any of their flavors. Rainbow is their signature flavor because it has all their fruit flavors in one!

Rainbow Gelati

It’s absolutely delicious and refreshing! The texture is smooth and creamy, and the Joy Lati ice cream on top adds a milky flavor. It wasn’t necessarily our favorite combo, but if you like Paletas, you would love it! The rainbow flavor itself was a 5/5, but it drops a little to a 4/5 with the Joy-Lati.

This was really good!

You can never go wrong with a frozen treat, and these ones are TASTY! While you’re visiting Disneyland Resort this summer, we highly recommend you stop by here and try out some of their flavors. For more Disney food reviews, make sure to follow us at the Disney Food Blog.

REVIEW: Disneyland Dropped 4 New Snacks, and They Might Be The Prettiest We’ve Ever Seen

A new month means new treats all over the Disney parks, and YES, we get excited about that each and every time.

Time for new treats!

We headed over to Disneyland Resort as soon as we heard there were FOUR new treats for us to try, spanning both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. While we love the look of all four of them (gorgeous and FUN are great words for them all), we’ve got to admit that there was one of them that let us down in the taste department.

Click here to subscribe

Over in DCA, we headed over to Trolley Treats for not one, but TWO new snacks, starting with the S’mores Marshmallow Wand for $8.29. Are these anything super special? Not really, it’s marshmallows on a stick and covered in chocolate, but we did love that this one had caramel and graham cracker as well, which really helped to bring that s’mores flavor forward. We do wish there was a bit more of the graham cracker to better balance out the s’mores flavor, but that was a minor complaint for a delicious treat.

S’mores Marshmallow Wand

You can also snag the Clarabelle Caramel Apple here for $16.49. This is a traditional caramel apple to its core — a Granny Smith Apple dipped in Caramel and Colored Chocolatey Coating, but with some extra goodies on top. Clarabelle’s nose is made from Nutter Butter, her horns are sour gummies, and she has additional marshmallow and chocolate decorations, too! If you love caramel apples, this is a must-grab, especially if you’re able to show Clarabelle for a fun photo op, like we did!

Clarabelle Caramel Apple

We also headed over to Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff for the Refresher Flight for $10.29! This is where you can get four small drinks in one, which are great for hot days. Our favorite was the mango with popping mango pearls, which was super refreshing. The mango flavor was the same all around, so you’ve gotta really love mango for this one.

Refresher Flight

Our second favorite was the Cherry with Nerds, because it literally tasted like we were eating a Nerds rope. Third for us was the Blue Raspberry Pomegranate, because it was quite an interesting flavor combination. We loved the popping pomegranate tang flavor with the super sweet blue raspberry flavor, as they went super well together. Finally, the Apple Blueberry was another fun combo, because it tasted like we were drinking a frozen apple juice, and the blueberry was a fun additional fruit flavor. These are all VERY sweet, so prepare yourself for that, but we’re big fans!

Consider us big fans!

Then, over in Disneyland, we stopped by Jolly Holiday for the Rainbow Linzer Cookie for $7.49. While this treat was absolutely stunning, unfortunately, the taste wasn’t a winner. The shortbread had a pretty typical flavor, and we appreciated the size of them for the price, but the jam in the middle tasted very artificial. It wasn’t our favorite, but if you’re a fan of shortbread and don’t mind a more artificial jam, then you may love it!

Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run Gets A Mandalorian & Grogu Upgrade – But Is It Finally The Ride Fans Wanted?

When Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run first opened with Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in 2019, the reaction from many fans was surprisingly mixed. Walking through the Falcon itself was jaw-dropping. Sitting in the cockpit was a genuine childhood dream come true. But once the mission began, many guests found themselves wondering if Disney had built an […]
