Here at DFB, Disney food might just be our favorite thing at the parks! There are so many options it can be hard to choose our favorites — and Disney keeps making it even WORSE by adding new treats and snacks each time we visit! 😉

But even with all of that — we still have a few things we’d love to see come to the parks! We’ve gathered up a few food trends that we think Disney could do really well. We’ve seen some of these pop up in certain restaurants briefly or for special events, but we’re ready for these foods to take the parks by storm!
If you’ve been missing your daily dose of Sprinkles Cupcakes, now they’re bringing the cupcake party to you. Say whaaaat?!

in Walt Disney World’s Disney Springs is THE place to go for high-end chocolates in creative flavors and forms. The latter is what we’re talking about today with the colorful chocolate Pride Pinatas!

Just as it did last year, The Ganachery is serving up colorful pinatas for Pride month! [Read more…]
is one of our favorite quick service dining spots in Epcot. Located in Future World’s Land pavilion, Sunshine Seasons is known for serving up some fresh options that come right out of Living with the Land’s greenhouses, and we’ve found some great vegetarian and vegan options here over the years.

And now there’s a little sweet love for those who eat a plant-based diet: a Vegan Cupcake! [Read more…]
Need a chocolate fix? The Ganachery at Disney Springs has a few new holiday offerings you won’t want to miss!
Holiday Ganache
As part of the Holidays at Disney Springs, The Ganachery is on the long list of shops and restaurants featuring new seasonal items. Read on to learn more about the special holiday treats you can expect to find, plus our review of the seasonal ganache flavors!
has been churning out ooey, gooey caramel treats in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion since it opened nearly SEVEN years ago.
(I started this blog just over 8 years ago, by the way. Time sure flies when you’re eating your way around Walt Disney World!)
Anyway, it’s all in the name: it’s the Caramel Kitchen, brought to us by Werther’s Caramel. It’s for those of us — and there are those of us 😉 — who adore all things caramel maaaaybe even a bit more than the other candy darling: CHOCOLATE.
Now, that’s not to say that Karamell-Küche doesn’t have a few things in that golden bakery case for chocoholics. Not at all. You’ll find chocolate poured over a Caramel Apple, covering a caramel square, or topping Mickey’s ears on a Krispie Treat.
And now there’s one more that the chocolate lovers — and caramel lovers, of course! — can add to the list to try.
It’s the new Chocolate Caramel Swirl.
Karamell Kuche Chocolate Caramel Swirl
Everything you need to know is found in the first glance: it’s a thick cut swirl of chocolate and caramel, finished with chocolate sprinkles surrounding the outer layer. Well, there is one more thing you’d probably like to know: the Chocolate Caramel Swirl comes in at $4.49 or a Disney Dining Plan snack credit. [Read more…]
When The Ganachery – Disney’s own specialty chocolate shop – opened nearly one month ago in Disney Springs, it was impossible not to notice that this little chocolate boutique had a unique vibe all its own. (Take a full tour of the spot here!)

With specially-trained Cast Members (Chocolatiers) serving sixteen unique flavors of ganache, it’s clear that The Ganachery aims to offer a higher-end experience that isn’t replicated in other sweet stops around Disney World. [Read more…]
Lately I’ve been a big fan of Disney Marshmallow Wands. Fresh marshmallows dipped in gooey caramel, covered with chocolate then topped with various items: YUM!
In the past we’ve seen lots of fun marshmallow wands. Everything from traditional sprinkles, to Reese’s Pieces, s’mores, character themed, and more. The Candy Cane Marshmallow Wand is currently here for the season, and it’s wonderful! I recently picked one up to enjoy at home and boy, am I glad I did.

Perusing the goodie case at Trolley Treats in Disney California Adventure, I stumbled across something that could potentially be a new favorite treat.
I’m a huge fan of coconut and I love Mounds and Almond Joy candy bars (they are the first to be stolen from my kids at Halloween), so I figured I’d better check out the new “Mickey Coconut Pattie.”
Mickey Coconut Pattie
I’m not sure why the treat is called a “Mickey” Coconut Pattie, because in no way does it resemble Mickey. It’s a big circle; no ears!
Anyhow, I will forgive Disney for this due to the fact that that it tastes amazing. The Mickey Coconut Pattie is $3.99 and is very generously portioned. Plenty big for sharing — or if you don’t want to share, it’s a great treat for eating a bit and saving the rest for later!
