nice disney treats?

[goofygal]

Excuse the easy questions but whats a dole whip? Some kind of treat I have to try I think? Are there any other disney special foods I should look out for?

[Tink]

It's a bit like an ice cream float. It's pineapple juice with soft vanilla in it. I'm one of the very few who doesn't like them. :( :eek:

Other treats? Well, that depends upon where you are. The soft pretzels are a common treat as are the Mickey bars, and things like that. :yes:

[Taja]

I'm with Tink--I don't care for Dole Whips. But I like to eat fruit plain--just as it comes off the tree. I don't like it combined with anything else. :rolleyes:

Love Mickey bars! They really aren't anything special, except they are the shape of a hidden Mickey! They're just a vanilla ice cream bar dipped in chocolate. I rarely eat ice cream, so it's a nice treat at WDW.

The soft pretzels are huge, so have someone handy to share with. They don't taste very good once they harden!

[Tink]

Let's see? What else. Oh, churros. They are a Mexican cinnamon "stick." :yes: They don't have filled ones at WDW, but the ones they do have seem quite popular.

Italy in the WS has gelatto (or an approximation thereof) and a little case with other treats. (Pastries, etc.).

Morocco in the WS has the BEST little cake like treats! :yes: They have one with mandarin orange slices on top and almonds. YUMMY!

[Isafari]

Don't forget the turkey legs :exit:

[Tink]

Right!!! The turkey legs! :lol: How on earth could we have a discussion about Disney treats and not mention those g-dawful greasy tough things?! :lol: :wink: :spring:

[Johnie]

ewwww turkey legs gross me out. Esp since I saw that exhibit in Atlanta.....


I love Dole Whips! Of course I also love anything pineapple. I hear they are now offering a citrus swirl over there.

Norway's bakery in the WS has a lots of lovely treats. I love the sweet almond covered pretzel, the rice cream and the veiled maiden. I swear everything in the French bakery is yummy as well.

I am also quite partial to the caramel apples that Disney sells in several places :yes:

[Tink]

Johnie, you have to try the "pastries" (for lack of a better word :unsure: ) that they have in Morocco. There are some at the little kiosk out front, but more inside the Cafe toward the back. Wicked! :yes:

[Johnie]

I haven't eaten in Morocco in years. For some reason, I thought they only had baklava :unsure: I will make sure to give them a go in a couple of weeks :yes:

[Beccaberry]

I'm not a massive fan of the Dole whips, I can take 'em or leave 'em...but Baleigh ADORES them...I do recall "back in the day" I would buy her a DW and at the same stand I could buy a nice thick spear of fresh, ice cold pineapple. Does anyone know if they still have those? I just remember how nice and refreshing they tasted on a hot afternoon!

LOVE LOVE the chocolate covered strawberries at the "villain" sweet shop in Disney Hollywood Studios.

The PB&J milkshake at the 50's Prime Time Cafe is also another "must indulge" when I visit...

[Johnie]

I beleive they still sell the pineapple spears....

[Beccaberry]

I'll just be adding those to my list for NINETEEN DAYS FROM NOW!!! :bounce:

[foreverducky]

ewwww turkey legs gross me out. Esp since I saw that exhibit in Atlanta.....

:laughhard: they do resemble each other. But I still love turkey legs...makes me wonder about that movie where the people crashed the plane in the mountains and some started to freeze....:unsure:

I don't like dole whips either. But love the ice cream at the different stands. My parents love the elephant ears or whatever they are also called.

[Beccaberry]

My parents love the elephant ears or whatever they are also called.

Well now I'm interested in knowing what those are, because I've always known elephant ears to be plants! :D Do your parents graze?



Hi, my name is Becca, and I love turkey legs. :surrender:

[Johnie]

funnel cake?

[foreverducky]

Yes, funnel cake. That's it. Here in the midwest I believe they are also called elephant ears. Or my parents just have their own language....who knows, both are possible.

[Beccaberry]

I just asked Jon if had a favorite "treat" at Disney World...anyone want to guess his answer?

Spaten. :rolleyes:

[Johnie]

I thought elephant ears are the really flat fried dough? funnel cakes are all twisty.

[foreverducky]

They probably are, but my parents call them all elephant ears. :D They truly are in their own little world.

[Beccaberry]

That's so cute :)

O. M. G.

People.

I nearly forgot to say COTTON CANDY!!!!

[foreverducky]

Goodness, how could you forget??? I adore the blue kind.

[Tink]

Elephant ears usually does refer to fried bread dough. They used to sell that under the name beaver tail in Canada. Unfortunately, they stopped making them fresh and started bringing them in cooked from elsewhere (in WDW) and they lost popularity fast. They are no longer available.

Funnel cakes are icky. :sorry: But then so is cotton candy! :mental: I get chills just thinking about putting that stuff in my mouth! :sorry:

[Beccaberry]

ARE YOU DISPARAGING COTTON CANDY?!!?! :mental: :mental:

[Johnie]

I only like funnel cake when it is nice and hot. Alysia can't stand it at all. Jordan and I grossed her out at the beach last summer :tongue:

I can't say that I am a big fan of cotton candy now. LOVED it when I was a child.

[Beccaberry]

You people all just better stay clear of my cotton candy!!!

[Tink]

Disparaging? Noooooooo...denigrating maybe. :D :D :lol:

You, my dear may have it ALL. :yes:

[Beccaberry]

That's why I like you, Tink. You teach my big words AND you let me have all the cotton candy :D

[foreverducky]

Hey, what happened to my portion?? :)

[tdclark7125]

You all are making me very hungry. I can't wait to go!:drool2::tralala:

[Johnie]

:tongue:

you know why I don't care for the dining plan? I am too FULL to enjoy all the yummy treats!!

[Beccaberry]

So then, td...what are *you* most looking forward to?

And Billie, don't worry!!! I'll be happy to share!

[foreverducky]

Whew! I was worried about not getting any. We will have sticky fingers together. :)

[Beccaberry]

Sticky fingers stick together!

[PsychoAlice]

Any beautiful desserts in Norway or France...

[lisaw]

Any beautiful desserts in Norway or France...

Yes the school bread from the Kringla Bakery in Norway (Epcot) is the best! :metal:

[kazzaqld]

This is a mickey bar - you're not at Disney til you've had your mickey bar!

[Jodie]

I loved the Nestle toll house ice-cream cookie sandwiches I had in 2006 but last year they only had the mickey cookie bars which aren't as nice. A mickey ice-cream is totally yummy though!

I love dole whip floats, gorgeous!
