While planning our upcoming trip, we’ve realized there are lots of tasty treats that either or both of us haven’t tried! We’ve made it a goal to seek out and mark these things off our list in upcoming trips.
1. Dole Whip: One of the most popular and most talked about snacks in WDW is something I’m very much looking forward to devouring for the first time! This is a lovely, cool, creamy concoction of vanilla or pineapple soft serve ice cream that can be served as a float as well. Looks and sounds delicious!
2. Breakfast Buffet at Chef Mickey’s: We’re braving this very well-known Disney breakfast option for the first time this year. Located in the beautifully modern Contemporary resort, bustling Chef Mickey’s hosts favorite Disney celebrities; Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, and Pluto! As if that’s not enough of a draw, the food is known to be pretty fantastic as well!
3. Kitchen Sink Sundae: This giant sundae is the featured creation at Beaches and Cream at the Beach Club resort. It includes everything you could ever think a sundae could have including the kitchen sink! It’s supposed to serve 12 so maybe someday I will take this delicious concoction on with the help of others!
4. Moroccan Baklava: A spot I’ve read a lot about but never taken time to stop is the Tangierine Café located in the Morocco pavilion in Epcot which has amazing food including the gorgeous baklava. Crispy flaky pastry layered with a honey-soaked walnut mixture-YUM!
5. Pecos Bill Burger: The Angus burger at Pecos Bill’s Tall Tale Inn and Café in Magic Kingdom is kind of legendary for a quick lunch and what makes it unique is its “fixins bar” which allows you to customize exactly the way you want it so every burger is your own!
6. Turkey Leg: This ridiculously large smoked poultry snack is very popular and looks and smells heavenly, however, it’s reported to hold about 1000 calories and 50 grams of fat! Can you believe it?! Thus, exactly why I’ve never been tempted, but someday I will be.
7. Ramune: I recently learned about this Japanese soda available in the Japan pavilion in Epcot which has two unique features. One, that it comes with a marble that you pop into the bottle before enjoying the drink. A marble! And somehow people are not choking and dying! Second, it comes in 35 flavors, some of which I have no idea what they’d taste like and one I know I would have a hard time trying-octopus!
8. Popcorn: Apparently this salty snack from the iconic kiosks is like no other. I’m excited to try this while also enjoying a frosty drink as I’ll surely need one!
9. Kona Coffee: Available only at the Polynesian Resort, this coveted full-bodied coffee is brought straight from the Hawaiian Islands and brewed fresh daily. Sounds like a great way to start a busy Disney day!
10. Starring Rolls Cupcakes: This popular bakery and café in Hollywood Studios stars some of the most deadly, size-of-a-meal, cupcakes I’ve ever seen! Just one look at the Chocolate Butterfinger cupcake or the Red Velvet Cheesecake Cupcake is enough of a sell!
