Disney’s Must Eat or Drink List (1-60)

As you may already know, I’ve been to a Walt Disney theme park 14 times in my life; 13 trips to Walt Disney World in Florida and one trip to Disneyland in California. Each time I go, it is a necessity that I eat my favorite foods and try some new items that I just might add to my list of menu items to revisit. Fortunately for you, I keep track of what I love and what others love in order to share these delights with you.

Nutella Waffle Sandwich

To keep up, I will break down the information a little bit for you. I mean, you need to know exactly how and where to get them, if you need them.

Each listing will look like this: Food/Drink Item – Location Name, Area of Park (if there is one), Park or Resort, WDW (Walt Disney World) or DL (Disneyland).

Red items have been eaten by me and the other items are still waiting to be eaten, and there are plenty.

A Sweet Treat: Stroopwafel

Recently, I took a walk around Sayville, New York and stopped into Sweet Gourmet. They sell all kinds of gourmet treats from candy to salsa, and they have a showcase of chocolates and treats. I saw the Stroopwafel next to the register, so I decided to buy it and try it.

Stroopwafel Package, $1.69

 

The Stroopwafel is made of two thin Dutch waffles with caramel sandwiched between them. Two came in the package, so I shared it with friends. It was chewy and sweet, like a combination between a graham cracker and a Samoa Girl Scout cookie. I would purchase them again, even if for the sole purpose of creating an open face s’more with Nutella and marshmallows. Now, there’s a thought.

Have you ever heard yourself saying, “I want to try that,” or, “If I ever get there, I want to eat that.” Well, if you haven’t, you’re either a liar or someone I don’t really want to hang out with. If you have, I created a list to help you get the food and experiences that you long for, with a little help from my friends. There are a lot of lists out there that count off all of the foods you should try, but this one was created by me and my friends, so these are honest additions and if you want to know about why I added number 8, for instance, you can ask and find out.

NOTE: The items in red are food or drinks that I’ve personally tried. If the location is in red too, it means that I ate it in that exact location. Lucky me!

If you think there should be other foods added to this list, let me know in the comments and maybe I will start another list. Also, let me know if you know where to find the best version of any of these or if you agree or disagree. Our lives are full of meals and snacks, so there’s a lot to taste and explore.

How many of these have you had?

We are on Facebook!

I decided that since I have a ton of delicious food photos and information that I have been withholding from all of those folks out there that love food like I do, Yumness should have a Facebook page. So, now you can find food images and info at www.facebook.com/yumness.eats.

I have started albums for appetizers, desserts and burgers and sandwiches, and I just keep adding to them because I just love food, as you may already know. Next up, entrees, and some of those are mouthwatering. Stay tuned and “like” the page, please. There will also be photos of delicious things that can be found at grocery stores, food trucks and some other little-known locations, including my own kitchen.

Thanks for your support!

Happy Election Day!

 

So, it is Election Day, one of the presidential variety, and I already voted, but I can’t tell you who I voted for because it is supposed to be private, or something.

To celebrate, I made peanut butter chocolate chip cookies of the quick mix variety (I am a new mom; ain’t nobody got time for that on a weekday!). These are not a favorite of either candidate, but I made them anyway.

Go out and vote, and maybe enjoy a sweet treat afterward because your guy might not win. Cheers!
