Disney4me Posted 12 hours ago Report Posted 12 hours ago I just spent a whole lot of money on tickets to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party, but it’s totally worth it for all the free cookies and hot chocolate I got in Magic Kingdom. No, really, we walked around Magic Kingdom collecting different cookies, plus hot chocolate and apple cider, and we loved every minute. Snowman Shaped Pretzel Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party is officially back in Magic Kingdom on select nights from November 8th to December 22nd, and with your after-hours ticket, you can access the park from 4 PM to midnight for all your Christmas fun. From exclusive entertainment, snacks, and characters, we’re breaking it all down right here at Disney Food Blog, but right now, we’re telling you EVERYTHING you need to know to get your free cookies. Throughout the party, head to holiday treat stops with big red-and-white blow-up candy canes outside so you know where to go. You can also check out all the locations on the party map you’ll get at the beginning of the night. SO much important information This year the cookie stops are: Sunshine Tree Terrace Tortuga Tavern Gaston’s Tavern Fantasyland Train Station Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe The Lunching Pad First up, we grabbed the Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosted Cookie and Eggnog at the Fantasyland Train Station. The cookie has tiny bits of cookie dough and tasted like good cookie dough, but if you like cookie dough, we don’t think it would be enough to satisfy that craving. The cookie tasted freshly made and didn’t taste artificial. Cookie Dough Buttercream Frosted Cookie The eggnog was not too rich or sweet and was not too thick either. Eggnog Up next, at Cosmic Ray’s, you’ll find the Buttercream Frosted Green Sprinkle Cutout Cookie and Hot Cocoa by Joffrey’s. The buttercream you can taste is a real buttercream, high quality. They are coming out of the fridge, so they’re cold, and the buttercream is hardened, but it still has really great flavor. They’re a touch too sweet, but we loved the crisp crunch that comes from those little sprinkles. Buttercream Frosted Green Sprinkle Cutout Cookie The hot cocoa by Joffrey’s is good. Joffrey’s hot cocoa is delicious. It’s chocolatey but not overly rich, and it’s definitely got a milky creaminess. Hot Cocoa At the Lunching Pad, you’ll find the Snickerdoodle Cookie and Punch. We love the snickerdoodle cookie, and it tends to be one of our favorites every year. It’s so perfectly cinnamon-forward and perfectly balanced in sweetness. Snickerdoodle Cookie We really enjoyed the punch. It has a frothy, pleasant taste and definitely tastes like a real party punch as opposed to something straight out of a grocery store aisle. The Punch At Tortuga Tavern, you’ll grab the Buttercream Frosted Candy Cane Flavored Cookie and Hot Cocoa. Buttercream Frosted Candy Cane Flavored Cookie Back to Fantasyland, at Gaston’s Tavern, you can find the Snowman-shaped Pretzel and Apple Cider. The pretzel was very fresh, served warm with salt on the outside, and it was also served with mustard. Snowman-shaped Pretzel The apple cider was sweet and not bitter or sour. Apple Cider ADVENTURELAND Sunshine Tree Terrace Hot Cocoa Cookie made with Dove Chocolate and Apple Cider! Hot Cocoa Cookie There are also allergy-friendly treats! The Lunching Pad — Red Plate Foods Ginger Cookie and Pomegranate Ginger Ale Punch The Red Plate Foods Ginger Cookie is vegan and gluten-free. According to its wrapper, it’s free from wheat, gluten, egg, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, soy, and sesame. The cookie is very soft, and you can tell from the texture alone that it’s vegan and gluten-free. The flavor, though, is excellent. It’s gooey, with a bold gingerbread taste. Guests with dietary restrictions will be used to this texture, but we wouldn’t recommend it to anyone who isn’t. Lunching Pad Allergy-Friendly The Pomegranate Ginger Ale Punch was the star here. It’s a bit thicker than plain juice mixed with ginger ale because, as a Cast Member explained, it’s made with pomegranate DOLE Whip mix. It’s only offered in tiny sample cups, which is a shame because it’s so good. We’d love to see this served frozen as a full-size treat. Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Café — Homefree Vanilla Mini Cookies At Cosmic Ray’s, the allergy-friendly offering is Homefree Vanilla Mini Cookies. The only drink option here was hot cocoa, which contains dairy, so a Cast Member kindly gave us a second bag of cookies instead. Homefree Vanilla Mini Cookies These cookies are amazing. In our opinion, you’d never know they were vegan and gluten-free. They’re packed with vanilla flavor and super crunchy, the complete opposite of the soft ginger cookie at The Lunching Pad. They reminded us of a store-brand cookie we used to love from Duane Reade in New York. You could serve these to someone without dietary restrictions, and they’d likely love them too. We were glad to have two bags, because one would not have been enough. Treat stop! One of our favorite parts is that you can go through the lines as many times as you want! All the cookies come in individual packages, so it’s easy to toss them in a backpack and bring them back to friends who haven’t gone to the party yet…or save them for yourself later (that’s what we do!).
