The first time we went I had to try a chilli dog, I had heard of them so many times. It was very disappointed. One thing I did try which you don’t see very often is believe it or not “Peanut Soup” it was lovely. And what are those things you see at IoA, there about 18 inches long made of a sort of doughnut mix and have cinnamon in them?

[shaunM]

Krispy Creme Doughnuts
The hand dipped milkshakes

[yyx99]

[Jools99]

I Why has no-one mentioned the little bags of carrots, bags of grapes and fresh fruit salad you can buy in the parks?

I love the bags of black grapes from the stand outside the Christmas shop at IOA!!!! I'm not a fruit lover, but boy are these lovely! :tounge:

[Fiona]

I can't believe the disgusting food everyone eats when on holiday :nonono: Why has no-one mentioned the little bags of carrots, bags of grapes and fresh fruit salad you can buy in the parks?

If we all found the food disgusting then we wouldn`t be eating it!! :confused2 We eat it because we really love it.

[lefthanded]

Cinnabon cakes, breakfasts (anywhere), Fillet steak chips and creamed spinach from Silas Dent's Steakhouse (Gulf Coast).

ALERT! ALERT! AVOID AT ALL COST:
Wal-Mart own brand Root Beer:confused2
(Should have been suspicious when we saw it only cost 29c for a litre bottle)


lefthanded
I'm in a Sunshine State of mind.

[BandRMum]

:erm: OMG!!
Just come across this thread and have soooo been looking forward to our 1st trip in October.......:d:
After reading all your posts I'm already packing....perhaps some clothes that allow a bit of "growth" ;)
I have been at WW trying to loose weight before going away so I can justify all the fab food I fully intend on sampling....just on a quality control type mission you understand!
I feel like I have put on 5lbs just from reading about all the yummy food!!!
Cant' wait!! :pgig: :pgig: :pgig:

[Boyle73]

It probably because I am Scottish but I love Baked Potato Soup especially Bennigans ( its just fab!)

I also love the proper smoothies that you get everywhere, I am rather fond of the banana ones :)

[florifan]

Another vote for Cinnabons and try the peanut butter Mickey cups. If you love peanut butter these are gorgeous. I love the icecream twist cones in Magic Kingdom and the bread and butter banana pudding in the House of Blues. Yumm:o: Quiznos subs are good too.:o:

[DisneyMadAng]
