My Favorite Disneyland Treats

I know I missed the last two weeks. My bad. This last week we went on vacation to Disneyland, so the week before I was busy getting ready for said vacation. The night before we left, I tried reheating the lasagna roll ups I'd just posted. I followed the directions from PW and the roll ups were still frozen in the middle when I took them out of the oven. :( I did think it was weird that the reheating directions called for a lower temperature than the original recipe. I kept the other batch to try again with a higher cooking temperature.

Since this is a cooking blog though, to make up for my missed weeks, I'll post my own must try Disneyland treats. I know lots of people have thrown their opinions on this into the ring, and now it's my turn! In no particular order: (none of these pictures are my own)

Dole Whip
I've tried the standard Dole Whip and the Dole Whip float and both are glorious. That being said, I prefer the original a little more than the float so I can get more of the ice cream. ;) These can be found outside The Enchanted Tiki Room in Adventureland.

Mickey Beignets
For those who don't know, beignets are very similar to donuts. And these are delicious. They're warm, soft, and cover you in powdered sugar by the time you're done eating them. Super messy but totally worth it. You can get these at the Mint Julep bar in New Orleans square near the Haunted Mansion. And on that note...

Mint Julep
I LOVE Disneyland mint juleps. They're probably my all time favorite park treat. They're very faintly minty, mostly with a lemon-lime flavor. So SO good. I even asked for the recipe when I was there before this trip. I have yet to make them though, as the recipe is quite large. These can also (obviously) be found at the Mint Julep Bar.

Mickey Pretzel
 I'm a sucker for cute food and love a good soft pretzel so these are a no brainer for me. They can be found at various food carts around the park.

Turkey Leg
The turkey leg is one of those things I think everyone needs to try at least once. No picture can convey how huge these things are. However, they are REALLY good. They have a kind of sticky honey glaze that is amazing. You do end up pretty sticky and they're hard to eat, but I think everyone should give them a shot at some point. You can find the turkey legs at Edelweiss Snacks near the Matterhorn in Fantasyland.

An honorable mention also goes to the peanut butter sandwich at Pooh Corner in Critter Country. 

I had every intention to try one of these, only to get to Pooh Corner and find out they've been discontinued. :( I did find a copycat recipe that I plan on trying because I just have to know what they're like. 

I know there are a lot of other good treats to try at Disneyland, but that just gives me another reason to come back!
