She recently appeared at my door and asked, “How would you like to photograph some treats?” I think I proved a person can travel faster than the speed of light as I grabbed my camera. Patrice wheeled over a cart full of Valentine’s Day treats that were recently introduced at Disney Parks .

They were created by the same team that introduced the infamous Turkey Leg shirt (just wait as more great shirts are coming this year… do I smell a Dole Whip or is that a Churro?).
