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 .

Your source for Disney News and Views. When I came across this topic, my mouth started watering, and my stomach growled!  Ok, sure, it’s nearly lunchtime, but I think it has more to do with all of the incredible snacks that you can get at Walt Disney World ! If I’m not careful, I could spend all day writing about all of those delicious snacks, so instead of that, I think I’ll focus on my all time favorite snacks, where you can get them, and why I love them so much! Cinnamon Roll — This wonderful, delectable snack is available over at the Main Street Bakery at the Magic Kingdom .  Made fresh all day, these wonderful snacks are an incredible way to start your day, end your day, continue your day, or even save to prepare for your next Disney day!  I’ve had them for breakfast, bought them during the day to take back to the resort for later, and had them as a late night snack on our way out of the park.  All of that gooey deliciousness is absolutely addicting, and if you have never had one, I urge you to try one out the next time you are able. Mickey Premium Ice Cream Bar — This is a winner, winner chicken dinner in my wife’s eyes!  You can find this perfect ice cream bar all over the parks, and is a great snack to have on a hot summer’s day, but make sure you eat it quickly or it will melt!  How can you go wrong with premium vanilla ice cream , shaped in a Mickey Mouse head formation, and coated in delicious chocolate

This festival, known as The Disney Honors , is a non-competitive experience for middle and high school choirs, concert bands and orchestras ensembles that focuses solely on education and artistic growth. I am excited to announce that The Disney Honors will be held on February 28 – March 3, 2013. It will be held again at the Walt Disney World Resort.
