What I loved was the frozen lemonade. It cost five dollars. I felt very ripped off when I found out I could buy it at the Dollar Tree. Also your talk of candy apples makes me want to make the Poison Apple. You know how it looked in Snow White before it turned back into a normal looking apple? With the black skin and the green ooze dripping off in the shape of a skull? Honestly I think that would make the most bad ass looking candy apple.
I had no idea dole whips are non-dairy. I've been avoiding them for sooooo long ever since my stupid body decided to become lactose intolerant because I didn't want to have any problems at the park when I could've been enjoying them this entire time! I'm so mad at myself right now!
Taylor Romano im lactose intolerant to the extreme and i always end up having one or two dole whips when i go to disney. very refreshing and not upsetting to the stomach in the slightest!
WeCantu I used to get them all the time when I was a kid but I always thought they were fro-yo because of how creamy it was so once I became lactose intolerant I just stopped without giving it a chance. Next time I go I'm definitely getting a dole whip float!
Considering theyre basically crushed frozen pinepple juice, it easy to see that they're not dairy. You can of course have ice cream with it if you want, but the basic whip is pure juice.
I love your videos. You guys have this unique way of making us feel like we are right there with you trying out new restaurants, riding attractions, shopping at Disney Springs, or just shooting the breeze. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy, but to each his own. Ryno, Craig, and Stephen, you guys all rock. Keep up the great work!
Craig said there is nothing special about having ice cream at Disney yet he raves about eating a corn dog at Disney in other shows. Am I missing something?
Disneyland corndogs at least are very different from those you find anywhere else. At Disneyland it's Dryers Ice Cream, which you can buy at any store. I miss when Disneyland used to have their own ice cream.
Lefou's brew was like, my favorite thing from Disney World! I guess I might be slightly biased since I already really like apple juice, but it's more than just frozen apple juice. It does have a nice hint of toasted marshmallow, and I think the foam on top goes really well with the drink. I've actually wanted to try making it at home, but I can't seem to find apricot juice anywhere...
I've been a WDW passholder for the past 7 yrs and in the past 2 yrs I have sadly noticed they have gone for a cheaper brand of just about all the once famous treats. The Mickey bar is smaller and the ice cream inside is not the same smooth vanilla ice cream it used to be. The juice bars are no longer dole and just an overly sweet flavored frozen sugar bar. The apples are smaller and not as tasty as they once were. The pretzels and cheese that I once loved are really bad. I actually took one bite and returned them and got my money back. Cheap brand of pretzel with fluorescent mystery sauce they try to convince us is cheese. I agree the churros are better at DL. I do still love the Dole Whip even though they always leave a hollow hole in the center. Disney has decided to go cheap and we notice.
I agree with everything except for the Mickey Bar. Ice cream sandwiches always have an un-chocolate-like breadiness to them and the ice cream ALWAYS slides out.
Any snack at Disney World is better than any snack I can get at home. Would you rather get up early to go to Magic Kingdom or go to work? Is a rainy day better at Disney World or a sunny day at home? Would you rather get in line for Soar'n with a 45 minute wait or sit in traffic with a 45 minute commute? :)
I think you guys should rate the different Disney benches. I'm sure there are great benches you'd recommend and not so great benches you'd warn us away from. Metal benches versus wooden benches? High-profile versus low-profile benches? Are there family-sized benches that sit families of up to 10 in number? Don't spare us the details!
Churros should come with a Icing dipping sauce one that taste like something that goes on a cinnamon roll.. Oh yes the Icecream Sandwich is good choice I enjoy those when I go I dont want the crumbling mickey bars. I cant believe you cut into this topic people are fuming in the comments but I enjoyed what you had to say.
I actually haven't tried most of the snacks you guys mentioned. I did enjoy the LeFou's Brew, though I didn't expect to. I absolutely agree on the turkey legs though. I found myself nodding along with Ryno's reaction. My husband is practically a carnivore, and he was a big fan of the turkey leg (it's probably his favorite snack he's had so far at WDW). He offered me some, but it just looked so gross that I couldn't even bring myself to taste it. It looked like a coyote had been going to town on it, and it turned my stomach. Maybe that should be my new weight loss trick -- look at the Disney turkey leg, lose my appetite.
For me the trick about the caramel apple is that you have them custom make it with what you want ( this also ensures that it's fresh), get it at the end of the day so you can take it home (I live super close), have a little photoshoot and cut it yourself when your ready eat it :)
Mikaela They've been too many times. They go weekly. Nothing is special/ sacred to them anymore. It's unfortunate. For many, Disney is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
I use to work at WDW in F&B and I was a stocker so I have to make the turkey legs, Disney changed the company they got them from and I can tell you they new ones have dye on them to make them look better because they use to dye my gloves and trust me you don't even wanna know how much grease got drained off of ever pan before they got panned up for sale
Perfect video! I know not to buy the candy apples and lefou brew! Two things I would have tried next. Also! Thanks for the tip on the ice cream Sandwich
100% with you on the Mickey Bar for all of the reasons you stated, PLUS they're nowhere near as good as the old Mickey Bars which we lost when Nestle became the exclusive frozen treat provider.
We were at Typhoon Lagoon on Thanksgiving Day 2018, so we had turkey legs. The kids loved them and nearly finished theirs. I agree with you all. They were salty and mostly tendon. I do not like eating any meat directly off the bone, including chicken wings. But, this was our twist on thanksgiving dinner. I wouldn’t have them again!
Dole whips are fun But why does no one ever talk about the crazy refreshing and addictive citrus swirl float sold over by jungle skippers canteen They are fantastic!
I've managed to perfect my Mickey-bar consumption technique over the years to the point where I don't actually get messy anymore so to me there's basically no downsides
As Tom Bell can probably explain better, churros are a California staple. You can get them everywhere (my fav is at our Saturday farmers market). The difference between DL & WDW is that the DL churros are fresh dough, not frozen. We love dipping churros in maple syrup or peanut butter! Save some of those syrup packets from you quick service breakfast to use later as churro dip. Great job again fellas.
Overrated foods? 1)Mega Turkey Legs. They’re big. Other then that, just normal turkey legs. 2)Be Our Guest. It’s a very good diner but other then the fact that you’re eating in a Beauty and The Beast-themed location, not much is special. You can get the same food other places MUCH easier then you can get into this restaurant. 3)Sprinkles Cupcake ATM. Just a fancy way to get cupcakes on the go. Still cool. 4)Mickey Bars. You can get the same thing at a DQ if you don’t want it to look like Mickey. 5)Tonga Toast. My dad can make it at home. It’s really good but they made it not as good, make it at home with the old recipe.
you guys should have mentioned thoes dreadful chocolate bananas with nuts on a stick they sell from the same ice cream carts I don't understand how so many people can eat it
LOL so funny right off the bat, I absolutely love Lefou's Brew! My fiancée and I make sure we get one every time at Magic Kingdom, and we are going to try to make our own this weekend
I feel attacked that Lefou's Brew is on this list. Its so good!!! I love sweet things though, and I like the marshmallow flavor mixed in and the foam on top. But I totally agree the mickey ice cream bars are just messy and frankly not that good
I feel like in recent times the DIS has become far too negative about Disney. I want to hear the bad sides just as much as I do the good sides, but it seems most videos recently are "Top Five WORST" for everything. I feel like there's too much of a Universal bias, but then again I say this with a Disney bias.
Good episode. I think some of the people who are commenting need to understand that these are opinions and subjective. As for as me; Churros: VERY overrated, for the reasons they listed. Never had one that lived up to the hype. Any of the ice cream bars: Totally overrated. Paying many times the price for it due to the location you're eating it (WDW) isn't for me. They're good, just overrated. Turkey legs: Have always loved them. Theme parks, fairs, etc. I just love smoked meat. It's good. Again, that's me and my tastes. Not for everyone, but to each his own :)
I"m surprised about all the mean comments on this video. I don't get that. I agree the turkey leg turns me off, I walk past people with one and I start the dry heaves. The frozen LeFou's brew doesn't sound good. I do like a simple caramel apple and I will get it cut up for me. I'm team ice cream sandwich too. Thanks for the video guys!
Thank you Ryno. Churros suck no matter where you are: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, the fair, the movies, ANYWHERE! CHURROS ARE OVERRATED EVERYWHERE AND THEY SUCK. I'm Mexican btw. And I think they freaking suck. Oh, and so are Dole Whips. As someone also, who loves pineapples, when I finally tried a Dole Whip, I was so disappointed.
If my kids pick a candy apple for their sweet treat choice, I try to talk them out of the candy apple. I agree- it just looks beautiful, but doesn't taste worth the price. Plus kids just want to eat the carmel off, and they only take a couple apple bites! The cupcakes are pretty too and taste great- so I steer them toward that or Mickey bars : )
That sweet LeFou Brew paired so well with the salty crusty pork shank at he same tavern. Now that the pork shank is gone, is really just too sweet. Bring back the pork shank, or rethink the beverage.
I am a huge Disney Parks aficionado, and I usually trust Dis Unplugged. I agree with a good 99% of what they have to say. This video was a roller coaster for me. I haven't been to WDW since New Fantasyland opened up, so I'll take their word on Lefou's Brew. However, Ryno really threw me for a spin when he said he didn't like the churros. The ones from the Mexico pavilion at Epcot are the best ones, but you can't go wrong at any of the churro stands. The new flavors are really cool too (the Oreo ones are bomb). And then Craig really went into a dark place with the turkey leg. I love Disney turkey legs. They are pure protein, and yes they are fatty, but they are a Disney tradition and, to me, they are the best preparation of the turkey leg that you can get. We have a renaissance festival here in Maryland that makes similar turkey legs, but they are nowhere near as good as those found on Disney property. Then Ryno mentioned the ice cream and compared the Mickey bars with the Mickey ice cream sandwiches. I agree with them wholeheartedly on this one. The sandwiches look better overall. They are in cooler looking wrappers to start off. The cookies are stamped with Mickey's face, which gives the sandwiches some character. They are cookies and cream too, which makes them less boring than the Mickey Bars. And, they are easier to eat and make less of a mess. I have held this position since my first trip to Disney as a guest. As a side note, when I was on the College Program and worked Outdoor Foods, they would give us cases of both bars and sandwiches when they were within a week of expiration. I would take them home and share them with my roommates. The sandwiches were always gone within 2 or 3 days. The bars would last 10-15 days. Also, Craig could not have been more correct on the virtues of the Dole Whip. If anything, that is a highly underrated snack at Disney properties.
The turkey legs (from Disneyland at least) seemed appealing to me as something that was filling, had no real line to wait in, and was not something overly artificial or typical like a basket of chicken tenders or something.
Reeza Esmero I think they were talking exclusively about the churros at Walt Disney World b/c they did also mention the churros at Disneyland are perfection. 😊
The Churros are made by outside vendors, always have been. The vendor in California is different than the one in Florida with a different recipe. Also, I'm just going to say it: you can't find a single Mexican food item in Disney World that is worth a damn.
Ya'll are crazy! Lefou's Brew is delicious and unique. Fruit bars are delicious. Churros are delicious. The candy apples are delicious... like come on! But in all honesty, it's probably just because you spend so much time there and got to eat them so often. People who rarely get to go there still love these things.
I don't know that any of these treats are over rated. Some are diffidently better than others but all are pretty darn good if you ask me. I do know what my favorites are though. At Christmas, those soft chocolate dipped Mickey Gingerbread Man cookies with hot apple cider are the best...THE BEST!!!! My family and I always load up with them to enjoy during the Candlelight Processional. The other year round favorite has to be the Dole Whip. My daughter lives about 2 miles from the Dole Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii. It's the only place outside of Disney that I know of to get them. When we visit her we stop there everyday for an afternoon treat. We do the same thing on afternoons at the Magic Kingdom. It reminds us so much of our daughter and grandson and the beautiful island where they live. You can't beat 'em.
Personally for me I am just generally anti- Ice cream sandwich, no matter what shape it's in. But alsoooo the candy apple's are my absolute favorite Disney snack (next to dole whip). There's something about a bright red candy apple bought on Main Street that tastes so amazing, I refuse to buy a candy apple anywhere in the world except at Disney World. My brother just came back from a Disney trip and he knew he had to buy me a candy apple. But also I hate the caramel and chocolate apples for the same reasons you guys were talking about.
As a Disneyland frequent visitor, the churros are always fluffy and warm and soft with a perfect little crunch on the outside. I absolutely love churros anyways, but I love the ones at Disneyland.
Y'know, I don't care how much brine is in the turkeyleg, I've seen you guys go through pastries and pastas that HAVE to have more calories, Ryno! :) Now as to Churros at WDW--the difference btw. there and here and the cinnamon sticking is this: The ones at WDW are pre-fried, frozen, and heated in an oven or under a red bulb. That means they just get more crusty and less sticky to hold the sugar/cinnamon. In California where Churros are everywhere (ballparks, everywhere) they are partially pre-cooked but flash fried at the point of service so they are still sticky with the hot oil when the cinnamon-sugar "bonds" to them. That said, one of the funniest things that ever happened to us at EPCOT one day was when my wife was holding her churro at a table along the lagoon near Mexico and a seagull swooped down and "deep-throated" the damn thing and flew off with it! Well, I was amused. She wasn't. :)
I've never been a favour of the Mickey Bar, luckily. My parents had enough sense to know that it's just a regular ice cream and never got it for me as a small child.
I honestly think that the Dole Whips are very overrated. That being said, it's a nice little treat. I just don't get why people go crazy over them. It's just a pineapple flavored sherbet. That's it. Since when did this thing become a must eat? Also, I agree about the Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches 100%. They are way better than the traditional Mickey bars.
I agreed until someone said the Dole whip isn't overrated. My family agrees with you; they love it. For me, it was something I could've gotten at any juice bar in any hipster city.
Michael Sedor I'm not a fan of the Dole whip either but I could see the appeal when it was only available in the Magic Kingdom at Aloha Isle. Now it seems like you can throw a stone in any direction and hit three places that have it or some variation of it.
Ummm... Mickey Bar is CHOCOLATE, that's why... Ice cream sandwich is less chocolate. What's gross is the softserve at Galactic Goodies (or whatever it's called in Tomorrowland).
The turkey leg was the only thing we bought when my family and I went to Disney. For a family of five, it's affordable and there's enough to go around.
The mickey ice cream treats are similar to a ice cream novelty that was standard in ice cream trucks, but has been discontinued. While it may not seem like a good choice, or the best choice, that was the reason I thoroughly enjoyed at least a half dozen of them during my last visit. The memories alone were worth the choice.
I love the Mickey Bar :( Ice Cream is my favorite food though and they're actually creamy and the chocolate is so good. I'm picky with my chocolate and it's actually better than nice.
I think most of the treats are overrated - as they said in the video. It's not so much the food but where you are when you're eating it. The one thing they used to have that I loved was Fantasia ice cream. It was swirls of pistachio, cherry and I think banana ice creams. Now THAT you couldn't get anywhere else. Unfortunately I seemed to be the only person who liked it because they don't sell it anymore.
cijmoalbal fantasia ice cream is one of my favorite childhood memories No visit was the same without it and I grew up near Disneyland I miss it and no Disney treat has ever come close
Great job once again. I crack up that some people get worked up over YOUR opinions. Everyone gets to have their own! Ha! To each their own. And for the record, you were spot on! (In my opinion. ;) ) Thanks for sharing for expertise and experiences as you have been to Disney more than most people can dream of going! Love listening to you all!
We would go to Disney about once a year growing up as my family is DVC. I never had a loose tooth that a candy apple couldn't help take care of. One spring break I was spitting blood in the back of fantasmic as my tooth came out.
Are there any nice small cakes or muffins sold in the parks? Cheesecakes or sponge? Or cup cakes? (Not counting Downtown Disney dessert parlours and bakeries of course).
Agree with Ryno about turkey legs being pretty gross because of all the tendon-y type of stuff going on in them. In fact, any poultry leg is like that.
What? The chocolate covered Mickey pretzels are my favorite! I always make sure I get some and bring some to take home on the plane. I've never gotten any that weren't crunchy. They were great, never stale. I would get the ones with the M&Ms, snow caps, sprinkles...so good!
I love the Mickey bar and it never breaks on me. Maybe the ease of eating is directly proportional to my love of it! I love the dark chocolate coating.
I SO agree about the ice cream sandwich. I would rather have the ice cream Mickey sandwiches any day over the Mickey bar. I always get the ice cream sandwich at Disney world.
Blasphemy! Fresh churros at Disneyland are amazing. It's piping hot, crunchy and sweet on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside, with all of the amazing cinnamon sugar around it. I've rarely had better churros elsewhere.
I had a churro once and it didn't taste nearly as good as I was expecting. I feel like I should eat it once more to double check but... I don't know, it was disappointing. As for the candy apples, they look amazing but apple and caramel is just not a good combination in my books.
The churros are hit or miss. If you get them fresh then they are good(nothing mind-blowing, especially if you live somewhere like LA where you can get amazing churros). Since churros are more popular in DL then they are more likely to be fresh..which is probably why people say the churros in DL are better than in WDW.
I think the churros are OK. Not amazing, but as said before, it's the setting itself and the wonder of "wow I'm at Disney!" that gives it more if a charm to the taste although it's just a normal churro that you can get literally anywhere. (Now Dole Whip, that stuff I can't find anywhere and nothing completes my trip like a fresh pineapple Dole Whip with pineapple juice when it's excruciatingly hot out in the sun)
What I loved was the frozen lemonade. It cost five dollars. I felt very ripped off when I found out I could buy it at the Dollar Tree.
Also your talk of candy apples makes me want to make the Poison Apple. You know how it looked in Snow White before it turned back into a normal looking apple? With the black skin and the green ooze dripping off in the shape of a skull? Honestly I think that would make the most bad ass looking candy apple.
Pete couldn't be on this episode cause the show would have never ended :D
Lori Hackney so true!!! Haha
HaHa, it's all slop.
Amazing bumping into Rhyno and Craig at Disney Springs today! Thank you for letting me geek out and get a photo! You guys are wonderful!
I had no idea dole whips are non-dairy. I've been avoiding them for sooooo long ever since my stupid body decided to become lactose intolerant because I didn't want to have any problems at the park when I could've been enjoying them this entire time! I'm so mad at myself right now!

Dole Whips suck. The most overrated thing ever. It was basically a pineapple drink from Orange Julias.
I don't know if it's just nostalgia bias but I love Dole Whip. My Disney trip wouldn't be complete without it.
I love your videos. You guys have this unique way of making us feel like we are right there with you trying out new restaurants, riding attractions, shopping at Disney Springs, or just shooting the breeze. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy, but to each his own. Ryno, Craig, and Stephen, you guys all rock. Keep up the great work!
Craig said there is nothing special about having ice cream at Disney yet he raves about eating a corn dog at Disney in other shows. Am I missing something?
J Strouse the corn dogs are very good and not just a store bought brand
Disneyland corndogs at least are very different from those you find anywhere else. At Disneyland it's Dryers Ice Cream, which you can buy at any store. I miss when Disneyland used to have their own ice cream.
There is homemade ice cream at Ample Hills at Disney.
J Strouse they were just talking about the ice cream at the carts scattered across the parks though
Andrew Yong Exactly, and the ice cream by the scoop that they sell in the stores throughout the parks like on Main Street.
Lefou's brew was like, my favorite thing from Disney World! I guess I might be slightly biased since I already really like apple juice, but it's more than just frozen apple juice. It does have a nice hint of toasted marshmallow, and I think the foam on top goes really well with the drink. I've actually wanted to try making it at home, but I can't seem to find apricot juice anywhere...
"Give me a Dole Whip and a bench" is my formula to avoiding any Disney meltdown
My heart shattered when Ryno said churros were overrated 😞
HurricaneHector same but dont listen to him 😌 ill eat a thousand Disney Churros a day if I could 😂 those are some kind overrated food of heaven
I've been a WDW passholder for the past 7 yrs and in the past 2 yrs I have sadly noticed they have gone for a cheaper brand of just about all the once famous treats.

ntexas100 Plenty of people work at Disney.
For Magic Kingdom? No. For Hollywood Studios? No. For Animal Kingdom? Yes. For Epcot during a festival? YES.
I love your perspective ;)
I think you guys should rate the different Disney benches. I'm sure there are great benches you'd recommend and not so great benches you'd warn us away from. Metal benches versus wooden benches? High-profile versus low-profile benches? Are there family-sized benches that sit families of up to 10 in number? Don't spare us the details!
Man, you guys had me until the turkey leg. This is a tough conversation to have without pissing ppl off though so not bad.
? Yeah Jay, I must've been fuming when I said "not bad".
Churros should come with a Icing dipping sauce one that taste like something that goes on a cinnamon roll.. Oh yes the Icecream Sandwich is good choice I enjoy those when I go I dont want the crumbling mickey bars. I cant believe you cut into this topic people are fuming in the comments but I enjoyed what you had to say.
I was a college program cast member back in 1999. In EPCOT they used to have an ice cream called the goofy bar. It was so so good.
I actually haven't tried most of the snacks you guys mentioned. I did enjoy the LeFou's Brew, though I didn't expect to.
I absolutely agree on the turkey legs though. I found myself nodding along with Ryno's reaction.

Maybe that should be my new weight loss trick -- look at the Disney turkey leg, lose my appetite.
The ice cream sandwich is so underrated! One of my favorites!
I have been bing watching all these videos! Love them and I'm so excited for my summer trip to Disney!!!!
For me the trick about the caramel apple is that you have them custom make it with what you want ( this also ensures that it's fresh), get it at the end of the day so you can take it home (I live super close), have a little photoshoot and cut it yourself when your ready eat it :)
You broke a commandment....thou shalt not insult the Mickey Premium Bar!
How did u skip over the popcorn. You can literally buy the same popcorn at Walmart
In Tokyo DisneySea they had different types of flavored popcorn, which is something special. I wish they would do that in DL and WDW.
They Have Flavored popcorn in Future World West.
My jaw dropped when the turkey leg came up. I'm very content with the turkey legs
Mikaela They've been too many times. They go weekly. Nothing is special/ sacred to them anymore. It's unfortunate. For many, Disney is a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
I think the turkey legs are disgusting!!!
They're delicious aren't they? I also like it because three people can eat one and never eat again 'til later in the evening.
I prefer the pork shank that Gaston's Tavern used to offer but I think they got rid of it :(
cijmoalbal yes!! Me and my dad always share one
I use to work at WDW in F&B and I was a stocker so I have to make the turkey legs, Disney changed the company they got them from and I can tell you they new ones have dye on them to make them look better because they use to dye my gloves and trust me you don't even wanna know how much grease got drained off of ever pan before they got panned up for sale

They are fantastic!

The dipped ice cream cones at the Cozy Cone in Carsland. I swear they are made with magic. One of the best treats!!!
It's the humidity in Florida that makes them different here.

I feel like there's too much of a Universal bias, but then again I say this with a Disney bias.
they do the top 5 worst, and then the next video is the top 5 best of the same category
Yeah just watch the next video that’s too 5 best
That's probably because in the last few years, Disney has much more to be negative ab
Good episode. I think some of the people who are commenting need to understand that these are opinions and subjective. As for as me; Churros: VERY overrated, for the reasons they listed.

The frozen LeFou's brew doesn't sound good. I do like a simple caramel apple and I will get it cut up for me. I'm team ice cream sandwich too. Thanks for the video guys!
Definitely Mickey Bar over ice cream sandwich
Such a excellent video. Thanks for the love you put into it! Looking forward to seeing more :D :D
Thank you Ryno. Churros suck no matter where you are: Disneyland, Walt Disney World, the fair, the movies, ANYWHERE! CHURROS ARE OVERRATED EVERYWHERE AND THEY SUCK. I'm Mexican btw. And I think they freaking suck. Oh, and so are Dole Whips. As someone also, who loves pineapples, when I finally tried a Dole Whip, I was so disappointed.
If my kids pick a candy apple for their sweet treat choice, I try to talk them out of the candy apple. I agree- it just looks beautiful, but doesn't taste worth the price. Plus kids just want to eat the carmel off, and they only take a couple apple bites! The cupcakes are pretty too and taste great- so I steer them toward that or Mickey bars : )
That sweet LeFou Brew paired so well with the salty crusty pork shank at he same tavern. Now that the pork shank is gone, is really just too sweet. Bring back the pork shank, or rethink the beverage.
I am a huge Disney Parks aficionado, and I usually trust Dis Unplugged. I agree with a good 99% of what they have to say. This video was a roller coaster for me.
I haven't been to WDW since New Fantasyland opened up, so I'll take their word on Lefou's Brew. However, Ryno really threw me for a spin when he said he didn't like the churros. The ones from the Mexico pavilion at Epcot are the best ones, but you can't go wrong at any of the churro stands. The new flavors are really cool too (the Oreo ones are bomb). And then Craig really went into a dark place with the turkey leg. I love Disney turkey legs. They are pure protein, and yes they are fatty, but they are a Disney tradition and, to me, they are the best preparation of the turkey leg that you can get. We have a renaissance festival here in Maryland that makes similar turkey legs, but they are nowhere near as good as those found on Disney property.
Then Ryno mentioned the ice cream and compared the Mickey bars with the Mickey ice cream sandwiches. I agree with them wholeheartedly on this one. The sandwiches look better overall. They are in cooler looking wrappers to start off. The cookies are stamped with Mickey's face, which gives the sandwiches some character. They are cookies and cream too, which makes them less boring than the Mickey Bars. And, they are easier to eat and make less of a mess. I have held this position since my first trip to Disney as a guest. As a side note, when I was on the College Program and worked Outdoor Foods, they would give us cases of both bars and sandwiches when they were within a week of expiration. I would take them home and share them with my roommates. The sandwiches were always gone within 2 or 3 days. The bars would last 10-15 days. Also, Craig could not have been more correct on the virtues of the Dole Whip. If anything, that is a highly underrated snack at Disney properties.
Personally, I hate ice cream sandwhiches so I'd go with the Mickey Bar over that
I'm glad you called out the churro. I've never understood the appeal!
Why does Disney sell so many rice crispy treats? I was so sad, when I could not find any fudge in the main street bakery!!
The turkey legs (from Disneyland at least) seemed appealing to me as something that was filling, had no real line to wait in, and was not something overly artificial or typical like a basket of chicken tenders or something.
The seagulls ruin ANY experience with the churros at Disney World
Churros is the ultimate Disneyland snack. Not overrated. This is a joke.
Reeza Esmero I think they were talking exclusively about the churros at Walt Disney World b/c they did also mention the churros at Disneyland are perfection. 😊
Overrated:
dole whip
corn dog
cozy cone bread cones
lobster nachos
JK obviously.
who doesn't love the lobster nachos?
if u click "read more" it says jk
i no they're not overrated they're freaking amazing.
Jay Cee I was starting to get defensive then I read the rest and can't agree more 😂😂😂
Jay Cee I thought the Dole Whip was the most overrated thing ever. What a letdown.
Jay Cee DOLE WHIP is the food of the GODS
Jay Cee I like dole whip but I always make it at home it's good on hot days
The Churros are made by outside vendors, always have been. The vendor in California is different than the one in Florida with a different recipe. Also, I'm just going to say it: you can't find a single Mexican food item in Disney World that is worth a damn.
es verdad!
Ya'll are crazy! Lefou's Brew is delicious and unique. Fruit bars are delicious. Churros are delicious. The candy apples are delicious... like come on! But in all honesty, it's probably just because you spend so much time there and got to eat them so often. People who rarely get to go there still love these things.
While I don't agree with the Mickey bar being over rated...I totally agree with the candy apples being over rated.
I don't know that any of these treats are over rated. Some are diffidently better than others but all are pretty darn good if you ask me. I do know what my favorites are though. At Christmas, those soft chocolate dipped Mickey Gingerbread Man cookies with hot apple cider are the best...THE BEST!!!! My family and I always load up with them to enjoy during the Candlelight Processional. The other year round favorite has to be the Dole Whip. My daughter lives about 2 miles from the Dole Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii. It's the only place outside of Disney that I know of to get them. When we visit her we stop there everyday for an afternoon treat. We do the same thing on afternoons at the Magic Kingdom. It reminds us so much of our daughter and grandson and the beautiful island where they live. You can't beat 'em.
Personally for me I am just generally anti- Ice cream sandwich, no matter what shape it's in. But alsoooo the candy apple's are my absolute favorite Disney snack (next to dole whip). There's something about a bright red candy apple bought on Main Street that tastes so amazing, I refuse to buy a candy apple anywhere in the world except at Disney World. My brother just came back from a Disney trip and he knew he had to buy me a candy apple. But also I hate the caramel and chocolate apples for the same reasons you guys were talking about.
As a Disneyland frequent visitor, the churros are always fluffy and warm and soft with a perfect little crunch on the outside. I absolutely love churros anyways, but I love the ones at Disneyland.
Y'know, I don't care how much brine is in the turkeyleg, I've seen you guys go through pastries and pastas that HAVE to have more calories, Ryno! :) Now as to Churros at WDW--the difference btw. there and here and the cinnamon sticking is this: The ones at WDW are pre-fried, frozen, and heated in an oven or under a red bulb. That means they just get more crusty and less sticky to hold the sugar/cinnamon. In California where Churros are everywhere (ballparks, everywhere) they are partially pre-cooked but flash fried at the point of service so they are still sticky with the hot oil when the cinnamon-sugar "bonds" to them. That said, one of the funniest things that ever happened to us at EPCOT one day was when my wife was holding her churro at a table along the lagoon near Mexico and a seagull swooped down and "deep-throated" the damn thing and flew off with it! Well, I was amused. She wasn't. :)
I've never been a favour of the Mickey Bar, luckily. My parents had enough sense to know that it's just a regular ice cream and never got it for me as a small child.
I honestly think that the Dole Whips are very overrated. That being said, it's a nice little treat. I just don't get why people go crazy over them. It's just a pineapple flavored sherbet. That's it. Since when did this thing become a must eat? Also, I agree about the Mickey Ice Cream Sandwiches 100%. They are way better than the traditional Mickey bars.
a yummy soft serve treat not made with dairy at an amusement park?! wow I want to go to Disney just for that, haha! also, do the churros have filling?
I agreed until someone said the Dole whip isn't overrated. My family agrees with you; they love it. For me, it was something I could've gotten at any juice bar in any hipster city.
Michael Sedor I'm not a fan of the Dole whip either but I could see the appeal when it was only available in the Magic Kingdom at Aloha Isle. Now it seems like you can throw a stone in any direction and hit three places that have it or some variation of it.
Ummm... Mickey Bar is CHOCOLATE, that's why... Ice cream sandwich is less chocolate. What's gross is the softserve at Galactic Goodies (or whatever it's called in Tomorrowland).
You guys - Churros are the dessert at Nomad Lounge now and they come with a spicy strawberry sauce and warm vanilla cream to dip them into. So yummy!
Sounds great but can a Disney Snack Credit be used? The dining plan gives you two snacks per day.
Completely off topic from this, but does anyone know... Where is Oliver? I dont think I've seen him in a video in atleast a month.
He left the team. Idk what for but craig announced it a couple weeks ago.
The turkey leg was the only thing we bought when my family and I went to Disney. For a family of five, it's affordable and there's enough to go around.
Lefou is frozen apple juice, melted marshmallows and passion fruit mango foam. It's really fucking awesome.
The mickey ice cream treats are similar to a ice cream novelty that was standard in ice cream trucks, but has been discontinued. While it may not seem like a good choice, or the best choice, that was the reason I thoroughly enjoyed at least a half dozen of them during my last visit. The memories alone were worth the choice.
GOD BLESS YOU
THE ICE CREAM BAR IS NNNOOOOTTTHHHIIINNGG COMPARED TO THE PERFECTION OF THE ICE CREAM SANDWICH
Finally people who love the Mickey ice cream sandwich as much as me
Dole whips are perfection.
I love the Mickey Bar :( Ice Cream is my favorite food though and they're actually creamy and the chocolate is so good. I'm picky with my chocolate and it's actually better than nice.
One place in WDW where the churros are GREAT is the restaurant across from the Mexico pavilion where they have them with the caramel dipping sauce.
Do you wanna fight? Turkey legs are amazing how dare you 😭
heavy.heartx 🤣
I think most of the treats are overrated - as they said in the video. It's not so much the food but where you are when you're eating it. The one thing they used to have that I loved was Fantasia ice cream. It was swirls of pistachio, cherry and I think banana ice creams. Now THAT you couldn't get anywhere else. Unfortunately I seemed to be the only person who liked it because they don't sell it anymore.
cijmoalbal fantasia ice cream is one of my favorite childhood memories
No visit was the same without it and I grew up near Disneyland
I miss it and no Disney treat has ever come close
Great job once again. I crack up that some people get worked up over YOUR opinions. Everyone gets to have their own! Ha! To each their own. And for the record, you were spot on! (In my opinion. ;) ) Thanks for sharing for expertise and experiences as you have been to Disney more than most people can dream of going! Love listening to you all!
We would go to Disney about once a year growing up as my family is DVC. I never had a loose tooth that a candy apple couldn't help take care of. One spring break I was spitting blood in the back of fantasmic as my tooth came out.
Dole whips in Magic Kingdom are my favorite. I also like to get popcorn with coke when I want something salty.
I cannot agree more about Mickey bar vs Ice Cream sandwich! Also I tend to go for the frozen chocolate bananas from those carts.
Are there any nice small cakes or muffins sold in the parks? Cheesecakes or sponge? Or cup cakes? (Not counting Downtown Disney dessert parlours and bakeries of course).
Agree with Ryno about turkey legs being pretty gross because of all the tendon-y type of stuff going on in them. In fact, any poultry leg is like that.
What? The chocolate covered Mickey pretzels are my favorite! I always make sure I get some and bring some to take home on the plane. I've never gotten any that weren't crunchy. They were great, never stale. I would get the ones with the M&Ms, snow caps, sprinkles...so good!
Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich...PREACH!!!! I've always thought the sandwich was better than the bar, hands down!!!!
The Mickey bars in the parks are much better than the ones in the grocery stores.
I love the Mickey bar and it never breaks on me. Maybe the ease of eating is directly proportional to my love of it! I love the dark chocolate coating.
After six trips to WDW, I'm finally getting a Dole Whip for the very first time on our next trip later this year.
Downtown Disney was the only place to get good food :) so that's a tip for anyone out there going
Never had butter beer but Lefou's Brew is magical while watching surround sound wishes in fantasyland.
I SO agree about the ice cream sandwich. I would rather have the ice cream Mickey sandwiches any day over the Mickey bar. I always get the ice cream sandwich at Disney world.
Blasphemy! Fresh churros at Disneyland are amazing. It's piping hot, crunchy and sweet on the outside, and soft and moist on the inside, with all of the amazing cinnamon sugar around it. I've rarely had better churros elsewhere.
I had a churro once and it didn't taste nearly as good as I was expecting. I feel like I should eat it once more to double check but... I don't know, it was disappointing. As for the candy apples, they look amazing but apple and caramel is just not a good combination in my books.
The churros are hit or miss. If you get them fresh then they are good(nothing mind-blowing, especially if you live somewhere like LA where you can get amazing churros). Since churros are more popular in DL then they are more likely to be fresh..which is probably why people say the churros in DL are better than in WDW.
Everyone always raving over Dole Whips makes me so sad because I'm allergic to Pineapple and will never get to taste it :(
Turkey legs are definitely not like Ryno if "there's nothing good about them"!
I think the churros are OK. Not amazing, but as said before, it's the setting itself and the wonder of "wow I'm at Disney!" that gives it more if a charm to the taste although it's just a normal churro that you can get literally anywhere. (Now Dole Whip, that stuff I can't find anywhere and nothing completes my trip like a fresh pineapple Dole Whip with pineapple juice when it's excruciatingly hot out in the sun)
Shanghai Disneyland... Carmel Popcorn... freshly made in the cart. IS AWESOME.
the Mickey bars make me think of the dilly bars from Dairy Queen
I love mickey ice cream bars! I ate 3 at the After Hours event in Magic Kingdom in February. As long as you have some napkins handy, you are fine.
