One of the best ways to recharge after a long day at the parks or energize yourself in the morning is with a snack, and peanut butter anything makes for a great treat. This brings us to Craftsman Grill over at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel. Craftsman Grill sign Earlier today we reviewed a new Sorcerer Mickey Cupcake from their grab and go case, and now they’ve got a new sweet that is a peanut butter lover’s best friend. The Peanut Butter Blondie they’ve added here is a dream come true if you REALLY love peanut butter. There’s peanut butter batter with peanut butter candy mixed in, peanut butter icing, and, you guessed it, more peanut butter candies on top. Peanut Butter Blondie in case This is going to run you $6.50, and you’re going to get every penny back in terms of size. This thing is huge, so you can share it to take some of the load off. Peanut Butter Blondie The Blondie was fresh and inviting, but, again, just make sure you love a bunch of peanut butter on everything because it does pack a punch. Overall, it was a good Blondie and you definitely get what you pay for. Peanut Butter Blondie cross-section Craftsman Grill continues to churn out new food items to impress us, whether it’s the Vegetarian Hot Dog, the Sorcerer Mickey Cupcake, or now this Peanut Butter Blondie. If they keep making them, we’ll keep coming back to try them! Check out our full review of the Sorcerer Mickey Cupcake here! Join the DFB Newsletter to get all the breaking news right in your inbox!

We’ve got one for you today from Disneyland’s Grand Californian Hotel and y’all, this cupcake is CUTE! You can find this new sweet treat down at the GCH Craftsman Grill for $7.00. GCH Craftsman Grill Inspired by Mickey’s turn as a sorcerer’s apprentice, this cupcake features a vanilla base, white vanilla frosting, and shimmery blue sugar pearls and stars in the frosting. Sorcerer Mickey cupcake To round out the whole thing, a chocolate sorcerer’s hat and Mickey ears perch on top. Cross-section glory This cupcake is really cute and makes us jump right into “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice” segment from Fantasia. The music is going to be stuck in our heads for hours! He lost his hat!

That might actually work to your advantage though if you have kids who are picky eaters or just like simple, reliable flavors. We’re equal opportunity Disney cupcake lovers over here, so almost any cupcake will get a thumbs up from up. We even love the more simple flavors out there like this lil guy! And this one gets bonus points in the cute department! Head over to Craftsman Grill to pick one up! Have you had a chance to try this cupcake? Let us know what you thought down in the comments!

The concert series at Epcot’s 2020 Festival of the Arts is a great way to see Broadway-quality performances for free (well, ya know, included in the cost of your admission!) Disney on Broadway But going to Disney World requires quite a bit of effort. First, you have to book a flight or gas up the family truckster. Then you gotta get a room, buy a park ticket and put on actual pants — not those comfy ones you lounge around your house in, we’re talkin’ real, actual pants.

Today, we’re continuing our special cartoon poster series celebrating the March 4 debut of Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway at Disney’s Hollywood Studios with new art inspired by the zany “Tokyo Go” short. Our new “Tokyo Go” poster features a look at Mickey hanging tight aboard one of Japan’s speedy commuter trains. In the video short, you’ll notice that Mickey doesn’t share dialogue – but words are not needed to enjoy this madcap cartoon adventure! Soon, you’ll be able to experience Mickey’s wild cartoon universe like never before at Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway attraction. During each adventure, you’ll enter the NEW Mickey Mouse cartoon short “Perfect Picnic” for an one-of-a-kind adventure where anything can happen. Why? Because here, mouse rules apply!
