Milk chocolate-covered peanut butter sandwiches (Disneyland Park, California: Pooh Corner, Critter Country)
Delights like this can only be found at the back of the park at Pooh Corner, but it’s oh-so worth it!

And where would a Disney treat be without a dark chocolate Mickey Mouse to top it all off?

LeFou’s Brew (Walt Disney World Resort, Florida: Gaston’s Tavern, Magic Kingdom, Fantasyland)
Disney’s take on beverages just got exciting. Although this looks like a real beer, the non-alcoholic drink is actually a delicious frozen concoction. It’s described as a “no-sugar added frozen apple juice with a hint of toasted marshmallow, topped with all-natural passion fruit-mango foam” by the Disney Parks Blog. And if that hasn’t sold you, it’s also available in two different collector’s mugs: Gaston and Belle.

The Uh-Oa! (Disneyland Hotel California: Trader Sam’s Enchanted Tiki Bar)
This may seem like your regular Tiki fishbowl, but it’s legendary because it’s so much more. It’s filled with light and dark rums, various tropical juices and a pinch of cinnamon. But you’ll also be shouting Uh-oa when you taste it. You’ll can get it in the Enchanted Tiki style room in Sam’s Bar at the Disneyland Hotel. But prepare yourself for lots of chanting!

Mickey beignets (Disneyland Resort, California; Disneyland Park, California: Café Orleans or Mint Julep Bar)
Are you sensing a pattern here? Beignets are churros ramped up a notch – deep fried dough, breathed out into fluffy cloud form. And where would deep fried dough be without a healthy dose of confectioner’s sugar? Mickey would be proud.
