food IS a theme park
It’s the holidays, and that means it’s peppermint season — and we’ve tasted SO MANY peppermint treats already this year!
Minnie Peppermint Cookie
From peppermint cupcakes to peppermint churros to a candy cane martini, we’ve had our share of minty treats!
We don’t know about you, but we LOVE gingerbread flavors this time of year — gingerbread is what the holidays taste like!
Gingerbread Muffins
And so far this year, we’ve already tried gingerbread cakes, gingerbread churros, gingerbread cookies, and a gingerbread cupcake. Bring on the gingerbread!
Today we spent some time strolling around Disney’s Polynesian Resort, checking on construction updates, eating dole whip out of a pineapple, and trying one of our favorite desserts this resort has to offer!
Disney’s Polynesian Village Resort
Although ‘Ohana is still closed (we miss you, Stitch) we obviously had to find other solutions to make sure we could get our hands on the beloved dessert it offers — Bread Pudding! We found out an Ohana-inspired version of the treat had made its way to Tambu Lounge so we headed there to enjoy this warm slice of deliciousness!
In case you haven’t noticed, we LOVE donuts!
Joffrey’s at Disney Springs
And, boy, have we eaten a lot of donuts, including Twix Donuts, a cake batter gelato-filled donut, and even a pulled pork jelly donut. We also happen to be big fans of the ginormous Boston Cream Pie Donuts from Joffrey’s! But you can now add a little something extra to those Boston Cream Pie Donuts at Disney Springs!
Since we call ourselves a food blog, we have to try all kinds of snacks: the good, the bad, and the ugly.
Pumpkin Spice Pretzel
We remember those that were rather disappointing to the eye, like the Pumpkin Spice Pretzel and the Poor Unfortunate Souls Float (the original with black raspberry soft serve). There are even a few “gross” Disney snacks that we actually recommend trying, like blue milk and Beverly, but there are always those that we don’t really understand. No matter how we feel about the snack, we usually do our best to muster up the courage to try the unique ones, and that’s exactly what we did today with a new flavor of Kit Kat!
Before we start endlessly day-dreaming about visions of peppermint and gingerbread, there’s still plenty of fall flavors to gush over in Disney World!
Gingerbread Cookie
Maybe because fall in Florida doesn’t really cool off until November, but Disney is going BIG with a couple NEW seasonal autumn specials in Animal Kingdom!
No matter how much pie we eat on Thanksgiving, we can’t get enough pumpkin!
Pumpkin Pie Cupcake
Throughout Disney World, seasonal snacks are popping back up for a limited time, including one super festive sweet treat at Disney’s Animal Kingdom! [Read more…]
There are lots of great options in Disney World for plant-based eaters!
Vegan Hot Chocolate
Recently, we’ve seen vegan lobster, a vegan churro and chocolate cupcake, and a few vegan cake bars! Erin McKenna’s Bakery in Disney Springs is a great spot to visit if you’re a plant-based or gluten-free eater. Last year, Disney even made a huge push to include plant-based options on all their menus! Now, we’ve spotted a new sweet treat everyone can love.
‘Tis the season for PEPPERMINT.
Peppermint Churro!
And, at Disney World, it’s always the season for churros. Combine the two flavors and you’re in for a real treat! Sunshine Churros in Disney Springs is known for creating holiday flavors that we absolutely love. They’re back at it again with a white chocolate peppermint churro that has us celebrating the season!
The EPCOT Festival of the Holidays has officially begun, which means we’re trying out all of the food booths!
L’Chaim Booth
Today, we headed over to the L’Chaim Holiday Kitchen! This booth first appeared at the festival in 2018, and we are glad to have it back for this year!
