I have to say – I absolutely LOVE the food at Walt Disney World. Now, I know I have said this a million times before, but I don’t care – as it bears repeating – they have some of the best food in the entire world. Seriously – they have it all – from the amazing cuisines from other countries available at Epcot’s World Showcase (Moroccan, Mexican, Japanese – just to name a few!), to the 5 course meals at Victoria And Albert’s, to the amazing snacks available all over the Parks and Resorts – it’s all amazing – truly a foodie’s paradise!
And how does a true Disney Foodie beat the “post Disney blues”? Why, by recreating their favorite Disney Dishes at home, of course! Personally, I am a baker – I love desserts, love baking them, eating them, sharing them with friends and family – and so Disney DIY Desserts are right up my alley!
Check out these amazing recipes that bring that Disney Magic home – in Dessert form!
