Hi there, Kristen, and welcome back to the Disney Parks Moms Panel! We love helping you with your Disney questions, especially when they have to do with one of my favorite topics – snacking!
Like you, I have been missing my favorite Disney snacks, from the classic Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar to the iconic DOLE WHIP! Well, I'm happy to report that I have some good news, my fellow snacker! I visited
Downtown Disney District yesterday to get the scoop, and was able to find several of your favorite snacks there! Currently, you can find Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar, Churro Toffee, and Minnie Mouse Candy Apples at
Marceline’s Confectionery! Near the front of the shop, there’s a convenient freezer filled with Tollhouse Cookie Sandwiches, Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Sandwiches, Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bars, and Strawberry Juice Bars. I’m getting hungry just typing about these treats! By the time I arrived in the afternoon, the Churro Toffee was already sold out for the day, so, if you have your hopes set on nabbing some, I recommend arriving in the morning, preferably before noon. Marceline’s Confectionery does sell a chocolate-dipped pretzel, but it’s not the same as the Mickey Pretzel you’ll find inside the theme parks.
Wetzel’s Pretzels is another popular pretzel option in Downtown Disney, but once again, it’s not exactly the same as the Mickey Pretzel you’re seeking.
You can also find churros within Downtown Disney District, though they’re not quite the same as the fried-dough goodness found at the
Churro Carts in the theme parks. But, you can still satisfy your churro craving at either of the two California Churro Company locations within Downtown Disney.
Last but certainly not least, the highly-coveted DOLE WHIP isn’t currently available at Downtown Disney District, though I certainly wish it was! However, when the time is right for the
Disneyland Hotel to reopen, you’ll be able to snag a DOLE WHIP from
Tangaroa Terrace Topical Bar & Grill.
Choose from a DOLE WHIP Pineapple Soft Serve, DOLE WHIP Float, or even a DOLE WHIP with a Splash of Rum!
I can’t wait to return to the magic of the
Happiest Place on Earth… but in the meantime, I’m thankful we have some of our favorite Disney Parks snacks to enjoy! And, if you’re feeling creative, I highly recommend checking out
these delicious Disney Recipes from the
Disney Parks Blog – they offer the perfect snack fix for all of us missing the Disneyland Resort!
Wishing you scrumptious snacks and pixie-dusted adventures, Kristen!
Hope to see ya’ real soon!
