The countdown to Super Bowl LIV in Miami has begun and so has the anticipation surrounding Disney’s iconic “I’m Going to Disney World!’’ campaign. For more than 30 years, Disney has added to the drama and excitement leading up to the big game as fans everywhere wonder aloud which team will win the Super Bowl and which player will stare into those TV cameras and shout those five famous words – then magically appear in a celebratory parade at a Disney theme park mere hours later. It will almost certainly be a dream come true for the player who is chosen, perhaps a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to add his name to the storied list of Super Bowl legends who have been a part of the campaign over the years. For us here at Disney, the campaign goes to the heart of who we are – a company that strives every day to make magic and create lifelong memories for our guests. For example, Disney has collaborated with Make-A-Wish for four decades to help grant more than 140,000 wishes for children facing serious illnesses. The first official wish granted for a Make-A-Wish child involved a trip to Disneyland Resort in California nearly 40 years ago. Currently, Disney helps to grant more than 10,000 wishes annually for Make-A-Wish kids around the world. So, with the Super Bowl only days away, which player do you think will have his football wishes come true by joining the annals of Disney’s Super Bowl tradition? To get you ready for the buildup to this year’s annual Super Bowl campaign, check out this heartfelt video that celebrates our enduring Super Bowl tradition and our long-running relationship with Make-A-Wish.

If your New Year – New You includes a plant-based diet, your options are growing like a…well, a plant…and the panel is here with some must-try suggestions should you find yourself searching for this menu option. Heading to Batuu at Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort? If the intergalactic answer is yes, get ready as there are many delicious plant-based options (made without animal meat, dairy, eggs, or honey) found on this planet. Bryan recently landed in Batuu for a much needed refuel and popped in Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. He fueled up with a delectable meal of Felucian Kefta and a Hummus Garden Spread. “The spread included plant-based meatballs, herb hummus, tomato-cucumber relish and pita! Let me tell you, it was out of this world!” Tiffanie, a Disneyland specialty panelist and vegan herself, suggests visiting the Black Spire Outpost in Batuu for some tasty flavored popcorn at Kat Saka’s Kettle and the Ronto-less Garden Wrap at Ronto Roasters. (These locations can be found at both Walt Disney World Resort and Disneyland Resort). These are just a few of her favorite recommendations, and oh yes, she also proposes you try the blue and green milk. She has a favorite. What’s yours? Tiffanie’s Tip: All the items mentioned above are plant-based with no modifications necessary. However, many other dishes can be modified to accommodate a plant-based diet! Simply ask a cast member if you have a question about a particular dish. And while there are many delectable options on Batuu, Betsy reminds Walt Disney World guests there are a plethora of delicious plant-based options from which to choose from throughout the resort. “This past fall, Walt Disney World launched its plant-based menu icon (a green leaf) along with hundreds of new plant-based choices in its theme parks and resort hotels. Now more than ever, it is easy and delicious to eat plant-based meals at Walt Disney World. While every restaurant offers plant-based menu items, I’ll fill you in on some of my favorites at Magic Kingdom. For table-service dining, I enjoy the Jungle Navigation Co. LTD Skipper Canteen. Try the Shiriki Noodle Salad or the Curried Vegetable Crew Stew. Yum! If you are looking for quick-service options, I like the rice bowl at Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe and the lighthouse sandwich at Columbia Harbour House.” Panel Tip: When dining at Walt Disney World Resort be sure to download the My Disney Experience app and try out mobile ordering at more than 20 locations.

The Mandalorian is everywhere for one reason or another right now, but it’s mostly because of the cute new sensation known as Baby Yoda. You can find Baby Yoda on phone cases, t-shirts, and even on a secret menu at Trader Sam’s in Disneyland.

Something happened under-the-radar last night while all of us were sleeping! Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast at Trattoria al Forno But luckily for YOU, our Mickey senses were tingling this morning when we woke up (they’re especially sensitive when it comes to price increases!) And you know those already pricey character meals at Disney World? Well, they just got EVEN MORE EXPENSIVE! While we’re big fans of dining with some of our favorite Disney characters instead of spending valuable park time waiting in lines to meet them, we know these character meals don’t come cheap. And if your on a tight Disney World budget (who isn’t amiright?), a price hike (even a small one) might be enough to knock a character meal off your vacation agenda! Hiya Pal! That’s why when we noticed this morning several of the character meals had just raised their prices on the down-low, we just HAD to tell ya! So far, here’s the list of character meals we’ve seen affected by these sweeping price increases that happened TODAY! 1900 Park Fare at Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort Bon Voyage Adventure Breakfast Disney’s BoardWalk Inn’s Trattoria al Forno Hollywood & Vine at Hollywood Studios Garden Grill at Epcot Crystal Palace at Magic Kingdom Chef Mickey’s at Disney’s Contemporary Resort Cape May Cafe at Disney’s Beach Club Resort Storybook Dining at Artist’s Point at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge Akershus Royal Banquet at Epcot Tusker House at Animal Kingdom ‘Ohana at Disney’s Polynesian Resort Royal Prime Rib Roast Click here to see the full list of Disney World’s character meals! Adult prices for character meals at the locations listed above (including breakfast, lunch, and dinner) have all gone up $1. That may not seem like much, but that’s not the worst of it yet, folks! The real kicker is the new kids’ character meals cost. You see, they’ve all increased by $3-$4 across the board. Considering you could be traveling with 2, 3, 4 or even more kiddos, this small price increase could majorly impact your bottom line. Snow White at Epcot’s Akershus If you’re on the Disney Dining Plan, you might think you’re immune to this recent price hike, but guess again! Remember, you’ll still have to pay tax and gratuity, which will be MORE now that the prices have gone up! Granted, it’s not a HUGE increase, but still noteworthy! Akershus Spread If you’ll recall, we saw several popular Disney parks foods and beverages receive big price increases this fall — along with inflation on our beloved Minnie Ears! And sadly, some of our favorite off-the-menu items weren’t spared from price hikes EITHER! Our beloved secret menu $5 Noods at Tambu Lounge are now $9 Noods and the ‘Ohana Bread Pudding now costs a whopping $12! Experiment 626 Read more about the Tambu Lounge’s secret menu price increases here! Well continue to sniff out more sneaky Disney price increases, but for now, you should probably be prepared to shell out a few more dollars for certain items and experiences on your next trip to Disney World then you did in years prior!

You might find it hard-to-believe but Main Street, U.S.A. is my favorite area of Magic Kingdom Park at Walt Disney World Resort. You might ask, “Of all the things to see and do, why is Main Street your favorite Magic Kingdom location?” The simple answer is because I’m in love. . . with its design and architecture! I grew-up with Main Street, U.S.A. at Disneyland park in California. Intimate in scale and cozy in atmosphere, Main Street at Disneyland is deeply rooted in small town rural America. Its Victorian-era inspired architecture, with its fanciful ornamentation and gingerbread, is applied in just the right amounts to accurately evoke a little town that was of its time, place, and level of prosperity. Although I have great affection for Main Street at Disneyland my true love resides nearly 2,500 miles to the East. Ironically, I fell in love with Main Street in Magic Kingdom Park long before the park even opened in 1971. Now before you think I’ve really lost my senses let me explain. In 1969 I went with my family to see a brand-new movie musical called “Hello, Dolly!” I’m sure some of you are familiar with this now classic film? I sat there in the theater (admittedly not without protest) waiting for the movie to start and thumbing through the road-show program. It was there I learned that the film’s legendary director, Gene Kelly, had recreated turn-of-the-century New York City on the backlot of 20th Century Fox Film Studios in Hollywood. As an unsophisticated kid I wasn’t into the music, dancing, or any of that; instead I was enthralled by something that reminded me of Main Street at Disneyland but on a much grander scale (and no, it wasn’t the smell of freshly made movie theater popcorn). What I saw on-screen was a fantastic recreation of 1890s New York (complete with elevated railway). It was astonishing! It was seemingly enormous! And it was all movie magic! But it was so believable and appealing I wanted to go there! Cut to a few years later and my first visit to Walt Disney World Resort. As I emerged from under the train trestles of the Walt Disney World Railroad my jaw-dropped! I had a sense of déjà vu. Yes, it reminded me of Main Street at Disneyland park but was much more exaggerated. I knew this fantastical turn-of-the-century setting! It was only later, while working at Walt Disney Imagineering in the early 1990s, did I learn that Oscar-winning art director and production designer John DeCuir Sr., worked on design elements of Magic Kingdom Park (Liberty Square, Tomorrowland, etc.). His classic film credits include “The Bride of Frankenstein,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific,” “Ghostbusters” and wait for it (the film for which he won one of his three Academy Awards) . . . “Hello, Dolly!” Although DeCuir didn’t contribute to the design of Main Street at Magic Kingdom Park, what I saw before me was very reminiscent of his design work on “Hello, Dolly!” According to the 1970 “Preview Edition: Walt Disney World” brochure, “Old-fashioned shops and restaurants will be similar, architecturally, to elegant turn-of-the-century Eastern resorts such as New York’s popular Saratoga Springs.” What was before me was less a small rural town like Main Street at Disneyland park and more of a larger, bustling, architecturally sophisticated township with East coast design sensibilities of the ragtime era of 1890-1910 with an abundance of awnings, covered porches, interior spaces, and lots of eye-candy. From the enormously impressive Hospitality House (now the Town Square Theater), to the Main Street Station of the Walt Disney World Railroad, to the elaborate Emporium, it was a Victorian, turn-of-the-century setting better than anything that could have ever really existed. It was like being on the greatest movie set in the world except it was real! I was hooked! From the enormously impressive Hospitality House (now the Town Square Theater), to the Main Street Station of the Walt Disney World Railroad, to the elaborate Emporium, it was a Victorian, turn-of-the-century setting better than anything that could have ever really existed. Even the recently re-imagined Magic Kingdom Central Plaza, with its fountains, pathways, and colorful gardens, seems like a frame of cinematic visual magic. Today, Main Street, U.S.A. remains my favorite realm of Magic Kingdom Park. As for “Hello, Dolly!” my appreciation for the film has evolved exponentially since 1969. It is now one of my favorite movies and, cinematically, always reminds me of happy times spent on Main Street at Walt Disney World Resort. View the full article

HOLD THE PHONE! We’ve made the discovery of all discoveries over on the planet of Batuu in Disneyland! Original Spork at Docking Bay 7 One of the most charming and unique initial elements of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge wasn’t the rides or the land itself — it was the uniquely themed sporks used in Docking Bay 7. They didn’t last long before Disney removed them BUT, guess what? They’re BACK. Many of you may remember that when Galaxy’s Edge opened last year in Disneyland, Docking Bay initially offered guests AWESOME metal sporks to use in the restaurant. It didn’t take long for them to be swapped out with standard cutlery options after a number of guests pocketed the utensils for personal souvenirs or to resell online (not cool, guys!). The same thing happened even quicker once Galaxy’s Edge opened in Hollywood Studios. Well, now we ALL have the option to get a metal spork! YAAAY! Docking Bay 7 Online Menu Yep, you heard us right! The incredibly cool metal sporks that briefly graced Docking Bay 7 have returned…only not quite in the same way as before. Instead of being used by guests dining in the restaurant, the sporks are available for purchase! For $10.99 you can take home your very own Galaxy’s Edge spork! No stealing required! WAHOO! We’re keeping our ears to the ground to see if Disney World begins selling the sporks (as of this morning, they are not). But we’ll be right here to let you know if and when they do! Be sure to follow our newsletter if you want to stay in the know about all the updates happening in Galaxy’s Edge! Read more about the original disappearance of the sporks HERE!

Hello, Disney Parks Blog readers! As a 22-year cast member, I’ve gotten to see and make a lot of magic over the years – as have the rest of the 77,000 cast members at Walt Disney World Resort. From the day-to-day things like presenting a guest with a Mickey sticker or meeting a character during a cast-exclusive event, to the once-in-a-lifetime moments like being on the opening team for a new land, the #DisneyCastLife is something special. Being part of the Disney team has brought so much joy to my life, it’s my pleasure to join the Blog as an author to bring you stories about my fellow cast members. To kick off our first one, I’ve got a question for you. If you had to draw Goofy in 20 seconds, could you do it? I might be able to make something passable, but it would sure look (excuse the pun) goofy! We recently presented that challenge to cast members at The American Adventure pavilion in Epcot, with hilarious results. If you’d like to try your hand at drawing the world-famous Disney characters, visit the Animation Academy at the American Gardens Theatre, part of the fourth annual Epcot International Festival of the Arts. Classes happen daily at 12:30 p.m. and 1:30 p.m., so be sure to plan your visit to include this fun activity, suitable for artists of all ages – and skills! Not only will you have more than twenty seconds to create your masterpiece, an actual Disney artist will be there to guide you every step of the way. View the full article

The 1935 short “The Band Concert” is one of my all-time favorite Disney short films. And today, it’s the inspiration for this week’s Disney Doodle. In the short, Mickey takes on the role of bandleader, directing a concert band for a lovely performance in a local park. Mickey must guide the group through the show when ice cream vendor-turned flutist Donald Duck inserts himself into the show. Then a nosy bumblebee turns up to pester Donald and ends up wreaking havoc on Mickey and the rest of the band members. When a tornado unexpectedly sweeps through the park, “the show must go on!” with Mickey at the baton. According to artist Ashley Taylor, if Bandleader Mickey ever had the chance to visit the Walt Disney World Resort, he may wish to take his turn directing music over at Mickey’s PhilharMagic at Magic Kingdom Park. “Mickey’s Band Concert has performed throughout all kinds of unexpected situations,” Ashley said. “It’s easy to imagine them being able to handle performing at Mickey’s PhilharMagic.” View the full article

While we love classics like Mickey Bars and Disney churros, funnel cakes have a special place in our hearts. Boardwalk Inn Funnel Cake Stand And, we might have just found one of the greatest funnel cake creations at the Disney Resorts (and we’re taking you with us to try it)! The Caramel Corn (!!!) Funnel Cake is being baked up at the BoardWalk Inn’s Funnel Cake Stand! Caramel Corn Funnel Cake Sign The funnel cake is fried in soybean oil and topped with sugar, caramel ice cream, caramel corn, and chocolate and caramel drizzle. Yeah, we’re already in love, you guys! Caramel Corn Funnel Cake The toppings on this treat are the BEST part. The ice cream has a hint of caramel in the flavor, but nothing too overwhelming. Most of the caramel comes from the caramel corn, which is super fresh and crunchy. Plus, the hint of chocolate drizzle on top adds an extra bit of sweetness to balance out some of the salty caramel flavors. ALL the Toppings! Although the ice cream slowly melts from the warmth, the funnel cake still holds up! Our funnel cake was crispy and delightful (just how we like it). Crunchy and Sweet Funnel Cake You can share this HUGE treat with your friends and family for $12.50. But, be sure to grab some napkins because the Caramel Corn Funnel Cake can get messy!

Beer, coffee, and some of the best Irish food around? Raglan Road, we’ve got MAJOR heart eyes for you! Raglan Road And, while we already told you how obsessed we were with FACE BEER (!!!), now we’re taking you with us for some well-needed caffeine (with an Irish twist, of course). If you’re looking for boozy coffee, Raglan Road is a bomb spot for a drink or two with their house brews. And, we’re trying something new, something sweet… Raglan Road Menu …and something traditional off the menu! It’s a good thing we love coffee! ;D Raglan Road Menu The Bush-Tail Nitro is the newest addition to Raglan Road, mixed up with Bushmills Irish Whiskey, a local Foxtail Brew Coffee, and Brown Sugar Syrup. Bush-Tail Nitro Our reporter called the Bush-Tail Nitro “dangerously delicious,” and that couldn’t be more true! The coffee is extremely smooth with a wonderful whiskey flavor (just without the bite of the alcohol). The little bit of whipped cream on top adds a hint of sweetness that ties the whole thing together for $13.50. Raglan Road, you’ve done it again! Bush-Tail Nitro If you’re looking to try something a bit more traditional, the Irish Coffee is a must-have classic at the pub! Our server even told us how to make it, even though Raglan Road’s will definitely be better than ours back home. You put sugar in first, coffee next, then however much whiskey you’d like (an ounce and a quarter is the standard), and an unsweetened lightly whipped cream so it doesn’t sink! Irish Coffee The Irish Coffee might seem simple with its ingredients, but the taste is AH-MAZING. It’s tasty, smooth, and has a hint of whiskey (but you can always add as much as you’d like) for $11! We think it would go perfectly with the Chocolate Heaven or Raglan Delight for dessert tbh. Irish Coffee And, last but certainly not least, the Iced Irish is a combination of Paddy’s Irish Whiskey, Butterscotch Schnapps, Baileys Salted Caramel, and Iced Coffee with Whipped Cream on top. Iced Irish Out of all three drinks, the Iced Irish is the easiest to drink since it’s practically a dessert itself! The sweet flavors have just a bit of saltiness to them (which we LOVE). The Iced Irish would be an excellent finish to a meal for $14, even if you don’t have room for ACTUAL dessert. Iced Irish While Raglan Road is a great place for a meal, it should definitely be added to your caffeine stops whenever you’re in Disney Springs next!

Galaxy’s Edge is open on both coasts, and we cannot get enough of Rise of the Resistance and Smugglers Run! Millennium Falcon While the park attractions are incredible, we’ve got a way you can go to a galaxy far, far away in your own backyard (and we’re basically about ready to move in). Magic Jump has created a bouncy castle named the Star Wars Millennium Falcon Experience (and, boy, is it an adventure). Millennium Falcon Inflatable ©Magic Jump But, this isn’t your typical bouncy castle — you practically can go on a journey through the ship that made the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs. While the outside is made of actual graphics of the Millennium Falcon from the Star Wars franchise… Millennium Falcon Inflatable ©Magic Jump …the interior is a wonderland of the greatest hunk of junk in the galaxy (along with some of our favorite characters)! Magic Jump says that “Passengers will encounter a Chewbacca inflatable as they enter and an R2D2 inflatable replica and C-3PO graphic as they jump their way around the ship.” Plus, you’ll even get to pilot the Millennium Falcon (sorry, Smugglers Run) before popping down a small slide to play a game of Dejarik with your crew members! Millennium Falcon Inflatable ©Magic Jump To add a li’l extra thrill to your trip through hyperspace, you can tackle inflatable pop-up obstacles like a bunk, holo-map (featuring a holographic image of the Death Star), and a storage container in the main cabin. And, you can defend yourself against the Empire or the First Order by manning the laser cannon turret or stepping to the climber/slide in the middle of the ship. Make sure to look up, Rebels, ’cause the ceiling hatch also has graphic of an epic battle between TIE fighters and a Star Destroyer! Millennium Falcon Inflatable ©Magic Jump Sounds awesome, right?? Well, the Star Wars Millennium Falcon Experience is available for a cool $9,495 (!!!). So, unless you’ve made bank as a Bounty Hunter, you might be stuck daydreaming about the bouncy space ship instead of actually buying it. You can check out a sneak peek of the Star Wars Millennium Falcon Experience on Insta and purchase it with some of your hard-earned credits online on top of all the other themed bounce houses from Magic Jump!

If you’re looking to make the most of your Disney Dining Plan snack credits, it can hard to figure out which treats are snack credit eligible before you actually get to Disney World! Magic Kingdom But lucky for you, you’ve got US! You see, we’re at the Disney parks every day, so we can point you in the right direction towards really making those snack credits COUNT and NOT wasting your money$$$$$$! First, here’s a little rundown on how the Disney Dining Plan works — just in case you’re new to the DDP game! Each of the various Disney Dining Plans includes 2 snack credits per person on the plan, per day. Common uses for these snack credits include popcorn, fruit, ice cream, cupcakes, or beverages such as bottled water or soda. But most of those items are fairly cheap, and we’d much rather pay for them out-of-pocket so we can save our snack credits for where they truly count — on the MOST expensive, unique, or best bang-for-your-buck items! Bacon Mac and Cheese Fries at Casey’s Corner So whether you’re looking for the ultimate tasty snack or the best value for your Disney Dining Plan snack credits, you’ve come to the right place! Here are our TOP PICKS for the best treats at Disney World that you can get using a DDP snack credit in 2020! Pineapple Upside Down Cake from Aloha Isle Bring on the sunshine! Nothing says Disney World vacation more to us than the pineapple-flavor soft-serve commonly known in these parts as Dole Whip! But while you can snag a bowl of the sweet stuff by itself for $4.99 (or served as a Dole Whip Float with pineapple juice for $5.99), the best bang-for-your-snack-credit dessert featuring this icy pineapple treat is Aloha Isle’s Pineapple Upside Down Cake for $6.99! Pineapple Upside Down Cake with Dole Whip at Aloha Isle With a substantially sized soft, moist pineapple cake with real chunks of pineapple and maraschino cherries on the bottom and a big, gorgeous helping of dairy-free Dole Whip on top, you’re basically getting two treats for one snack credit! It’s pineapple cake a la mode, y’all! Look for this tasty treat in the Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland! Read our review of the Pineapple Upside Down Cake here! Loaded Fries from Casey’s Corner Why settle for a basic side of fries when you can use your snack credit to scale this magic mountain of potato, bacon, and macaroni to french fry nirvana? While we tend to favor the Bacon Mac and Cheese Fries for $6.49, the Chili Cheese Fries for $6.49 isn’t striking out with us either! These are some serious grand slam flavors for our loaded fries affection! Bacon Mac and Cheese Fries at Casey’s Corner Casey’s Corner is always coming up with new flavor combinations for its loaded piles ‘o fries too, so if you find yourself craving delicious ballpark-inspired eats at the Magic Kingdom, slide into this quick-service spot located right on Main Street, U.S.A.!

Bubble Waffles and Assorted Sweet Crepes from AristoCrêpes Located in Disney Springs, AristoCrêpes is the cat’s meow of French-inspired eats! Take, for instance, their Strawberry Bubble Waffle! Did you know this treat retails for a price of $8.99, but you can get it for just one snack credit??? We’re inducting you into snack credit royalty with this little tip! You can also get a Salted Caramel version for just one credit! (Note that they’re not listed as a snack credit on the menu sign, so this bonus could change any day. But at press time, you can indeed get the bubble waffles for a snack credit!) Strawberry Bubble Waffle Their crêpes are also snack credit-worthy, if that’s more your speed. You can choose from a S’mores Crêpe, Banana Chocolate-Hazelnut Crêpe, and a Strawberries and Cream Crêpe. All of these clock in at a value of $6.99! Read our review of AristoCrêpes’ Bubble Waffles here! French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese from Flame Tree Barbecue You know we’re not ones to spare a coveted snack credit on just any regular side of fries. Our taste for the golden-brown beauties skews a bit more exotic! That’s why we find ourselves making the trek to Animal Kingdom’s Flame Tree Barbecue often for their French Fries with Pulled Pork and Cheese! This enormous homage to the splendor of potato, pork, and cheese is one seriously-satisfying eat! Pulled Pork Fries with Cheese at Flame Tree Barbecue Seriously, this boat of cheese and meat and carbs is practically a full-on meal. And with a price tag of $7.29, it’s also near the top of high-dollar menu items you can get for a single snack credit! We know why they call this place Flame Tree Barbecue — it’s because this spot is seriously FIRE! Save up that snack credit and COME HUNGRY! Check out our FULL REVIEW of Flame Tree Barbecue — including the Pulled Pork Fries with Cheese HERE! Colossal Cinnamon Roll from Multiple Locations Call us nostalgic, but we love digging into classic Mickey-shaped eats like Premium Mickey Ice Cream Bars and Mickey-shaped Pretzels! But you’ll be hard-pressed to find a Mickey-shaped offering that’s a better value than the Colossal Cinnamon Roll for $7.49! Comprised of two cinnamon roll ears and one massive cinnamon roll head, the Colossal Cinnamon Roll isn’t an oxymoron — it can definitely feed your crew. Colossal Cinnamon Roll And you can find the sweet Mickey-shaped roll at various locations throughout the Disney parks! One of our favorite spots to grab one is Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery in Animal Kingdom. You can also pick one up at Creature Comforts in Animal Kingdom as well. Colossal Cinnamon Roll If you’re in Magic Kingdom, swing by the Main Street Bakery to find this gargantuan baked good. You can snag one year-round, but they get extra fancy during the holidays. For Halloween and Christmas (we’ve even spotted it dressed up for Valentine’s Day before!), they’re served with colored icing and a decorative chocolate piece on top! Honorable Mention: Warm Cinnamon Roll from Gaston’s Tavern As much as we adore the Colossal Cinnamon Roll, we go waaaay back with another Disney World sweet bread that isn’t Mickey-shaped — the Warm Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern! Back in the days before Starbucks in Disney World, it was a highlight at the Main Street Bakery. It relocated to Gaston’s in 2012 when New Fantasyland opened. This ooey-gooey delight is thicker than most of the textbooks we read back in our school days! Warm Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern And for $5.99, we like what it’s teaching us! Go a little nuts and ask for extra icing on the side — Gaston would WANT you to! Read about our love affair with Gaston’s Warm Cinnamon Roll here! Mickey Waffle with Strawberries and Whipped Cream From Sleepy Hollow Refreshments If you’re looking for a quick, sweet breakfast (or, let’s be real, this can totally be an anytime snack!) in the Magic Kingdom, head to Sleepy Hollow Refreshments where you can get this iconic Mickey Waffle topped with strawberries and whipped cream for a snack credit value worth $6.79! Mickey Waffle from Sleepy Hollow It’s a nice, filling snack or breakfast that will get you through a few rides before it’s time to stop for lunch! Plus, it’s a total Disney World classic! Read our delicious review of the Mickey Waffle from Sleepy Hollow here! Churro Ice Cream Sandwich from Sleepy Hollow Refreshments Sleepy Hollow is also the home to another one of our favorite snack credit eats — the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich! It’s literally two of the best Disney park snacks sandwiched together — churros and ice cream! Worth a DDP value of $6.99, we think you should seriously consider making it part of your snacking repertoire on your next vacay! Vanilla Ice Cream Churro Sandwich 2 round swirls of churros are freshly fried, tossed in cinnamon sugar, and wrapped ’round a massive scoop of ice cream. It’s crunchy, creamy, and absolutely delicious! Read our review of the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich here! Ice Cream Sundaes from Plaza Ice Cream Parlor If you’re craving sweets, there are very few places serving up a better value for your DDP snack credit than Magic Kingdom’s Plaza Ice Cream Parlor! This place has monster-size Specialty Sundaes — most of which you can get for just one snack credit (sorry, not the Mickey’s Kitchen Sink Sundaes, but pretty much anything with two scoops or less is fair game! ;-D). If you’re into timeless classics, go for the signature “Plaza” Ice Cream Sundae for $6.99, which features two scoops of your choice of ice cream served in a fresh waffle cone bowl with hot fudge, whipped cream, and a cherry! We also LOVE the Donut Sundae here…though it can sell out quickly! Donut Sundae at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor But the menu changes here often and many seasonal sundaes are featured throughout the year — the current option is the Apple Blossom Sundae which includes a warm apple pie pocket, two scoops of ice cream, caramel sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry for $7.49 Apple Blossom Sundae Read more about the Apple Blossom Sundae here! Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches at Multiple Locations Speaking of Plaza Ice Cream Parlor, it’s also the place to go for hand-scooped Ice Cream Cookie Sandwiches in Magic Kingdom! You’ll be able to customize your creation with two freshly baked chocolate chip cookies and your choice of ice cream — usually, about 2 scoops gets crammed in there! You can even get them drizzled with a little chocolate, peanut butter, or caramel sauce for the ultimate indulgence. BUT, this will cost you an extra $.50 (OR another whole snack credit…which you SHOULD NOT SPEND on a $.50 item, obvi). Now, since these puppies normally cost $6.99, they’re a great tasty treat and value for your DDP snack credit! Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich with Peanut Butter at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor But Magic Kingdom isn’t the ONLY place to get them! You can also find customizable ice cream cookie sandwiches at Dino-Bite Snacks in Animal Kingdom, and Hollywood Scoops in Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Read our review of the Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich at Plaza Ice Cream Parlor here! Funnel Cakes from Epic Eats Now this is one of the BEST snack credit values on property from a sheer money-saving standpoint! For the best deal on funnel cakes, head over to Epic Eats at Hollywood Studios where these specialty funnel cakes run $8.49! They come with your choice of either strawberry topping and soft-serve vanilla ice cream or cookies ‘n cream topping and soft-serve vanilla ice cream. Either way, you’ll be facing a deliciously difficult decision, but using a snack credit on one of these bad boys is a total no-brainer! Cookies ‘n Cream Funnel Cake These funnel cakes are majorly shareable and an easy way to stretch those snack credits as far as possible! Remember — Epic Eats USED to be Oasis Canteen, but was re-named last year (so that Disney could create another stand called Oasis Canteen next door that serves alcohol). Read our review of Epic Eats’ Cookies ‘n Cream Funnel Cake here! Hummus with Vegetables and Mini Pita from Mr. Kamal’s Mr. Kamal’s in Animal Kingdom has been a longtime favorite spot of ours to grab some vegetarian-friendly snacks (or maybe you’ve filled up on too many sweets and need something healthy in your body!). If you’re on the Dining Plan, it’s a great place to grab this healthy treat that’s a serious bang for your buck — the Hummus with Vegetables and Mini Pita plate for $6.29! Hummus with Veggies and Pita at Mr. Kamal’s With a substantial serving of hummus, carrot, celery sticks, olives, and mini pitas, this is a great sharable snack to help you get your daily veggies! Check out our review of Mr. Kamal’s Hummus with Veggies here! Food Booth Items from Epcot’s Multiple Festivals OK, this will often be your #1 best value for your DDP snack credits! Depending on what time of year you’ll be visiting, check to see which, if any, annual Epcot festival will be happening during your stay. Each of Epcot’s unique festivals includes an array of food booths that feature different menu items — most of which are snack-credit eligible and super expensive! We’re talking snack credit options that run well over $8 here! Smoked Salmon Potato Latke at Epcot’s Festival of the Holidays In 2020, Epcot’s Festival of the Arts will be taking place from January 17th through February 24th. Next, Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival will kick off starting on March 4th and running through June 1st. Epcot’s Food and Wine Festival is the next celebration to follow, which will begin in late August and run through the fall and winter months.

Stick with us and you’ll get all the info on the best eats and the best values at the festivals! See our FESTIVALS Page For What’s Happening On Your Visit! Cheese Stuffed Pretzels from Multiple Locations There’s no shortage of pretzels to tangle yourself up with at Disney World, but one of our favorite varieties are the ones that come pre-stuffed with cheese — no dunking required! Where do you find such angelic creatures stirring? The Lunching Pad at the Magic Kingdom is serving up a warm, delicious Cream Cheese Stuffed Pretzel for $6.79 while just a little further down the road you’ll spot the Pepper Jack Stuffed Pretzel from Cheshire Cat Cafe, also just $6.79! Pepper Jack Pretzel You can often find these pretzels at other parks and the Disney World Boardwalk as well, so keep an eye on pretzel carts and kiosks to find them! Read more about some of Disney World’s past and present stuffed pretzels here! Batuu-bon, Oi-Oi Puff, and Moof Juice from Docking Bay 7 We’re super-excited that Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge is finally open at Hollywood Studios because now there are EVEN more out-of-this-world ways to spend those snack credits! Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo has become an intergalactic treasure trove for treats to throw a snack credit at, and one of our favorite snack credit values here is the Batuu-bon for $6.99! It’s a dense, rich brownie-like cake topped with a white chocolate mousse dome filled with coffee mousse! Batuu-Bon We can also recommend the Oi-Oi Puff for $6.49! It’s kinda like a cross between a cake and bread, filled with a sweet and tart raspberry mousse all topped with passionfruit mousse! Oi-Oi Puff And we’re not normally ones to recommend using your snack credits on beverages, but Docking Bay 7’s Moof Juice for $5.49 is really delicious. It consists of Simply Fruit Punch, Simply Orange with Pineapple, and Chipotle-Pineapple. While it claims to have some heat to it, we didn’t find any; but it was a fruity, refreshing drink nonetheless! Moof Juice These are definitely the snacks you’re looking for…to get your money’s worth on Batuu! Read our full Docking Bay 7 review here! Blue and Green Milk from The Milk Stand If the Moof Juice didn’t quench your intergalactic thirst, how about THIS Star Wars novelty! That’s right, friends! You can get a Blue Milk or Green Milk (worth $7.99 each!) with just one of your snack credits! Green Milk and Blue Milk Both colors are non-dairy and plant-based, made with coconut and rice milks. Blue Milk is flavored with dragon fruit, pineapple, lime, and watermelon while Green Milk has an emphasis on citrus with flavor notes of mandarin orange, passion fruit, grapefruit, and orange blossom! (At least, that’s what DISNEY says they are. To us, they just kind of taste like fruity perfume and perfumey perfume. But to each his own!) Read our review of The Milk Stand’s Green and Blue Milk here! Garlic Knots from Pizzafari Pizzafari’s menu may be VERY pizza-centric (and not all that highly recommended), but when we’re looking for a garlicky, bready snack to fill up on, we reach for their Garlic Knots for $6.99! Garlic Knots and Marinara Sauce The bread is generously coated with olive oil and a combination of herbs, garlic, and shredded cheese; and it’s served with a side of marinara sauce for major dunkage! This is a giant snack and totally shareable! Read more about Garlic Knots at Pizzafari here! Gelato Milkshakes and Floats from D-Luxe Burger While you can use DDP snack credits towards Blue and Green Milk at The Black Spire Outpost, you can also use ’em on milkshakes and other specialty drinks at many locations throughout the Disney parks! We think D-Luxe Burger has some of the best shakes at Disney World (especially because they’re made with super-creamy gelato instead of ice cream)! Their gelato flavors rotate seasonally, so there’s usually something new to try whenever we stop by — like the Pumpkin Pie Milkshake we enjoyed last fall! Seasonal Pumpkin Pie Milkshake at D-Luxe Burger And since they come in at a price tag of $7.50, these shakes are some of the best non-alcoholic values on the DDP! D-Luxe also serves Coke, Orange, and Root Beer Floats that are DDP-eligible and worth a snack credit value of $7.50! Read more about what specialty drinks you can get on the Disney Dining Plan here! Baked Mac & Cheese with Pulled Pork from Eight Spoon Cafe Last but not least, we have to tell you guys about the Baked Mac & Cheeses at Eight Spoon Cafe! This rather unassuming kiosk at the Animal Kingdom is a BEAST at serving up delicious grub! You can try their Baked Mac and Cheese with Pulled Pork for $6.79 or Baked Mac & Cheese with Shrimp and Sweet Chili Sauce for $6.99 with just one snack credit! Eight Spoon Cafe Pork Mac and Cheese These are HUGE portions of delicious, stick-to-your-ribs grub that can easily be treated as a meal, my friends! Read our review of the Baked Mac and Cheeses at Eight Spoon Cafe HERE! Want MORE Values?
