What are your over-rated foods?

Just wondering snacks and meals in Orlando have you found to be disappointing despite massive hype?

After mass hysteria online over it I found the the Ice Cream Sandwich from L'Artisan des Glaces in the France pavilion to be massively over rated.

It was the driest thing I've ever had and I had to bin most of it as I just couldnt take any more.

What is everyone else's?

Gideon’s cookies. Just a massive lump of cookie dough with chocolate chips stuck all round. Really don’t get it at all.

Ah yes we got them in 2021 and got all 6 flavours available and split them between the 2 of us for some breakfasts over the 2 weeks. They were nice but I went back in 2023 and didn't get them and not bothered about getting them next year either

I agree, they were fine, I ate mine, but the cookie does not justify the queues for that shop.

Dole whip.

Get at least one every trip. Every time I finish it and think -"is that it"? I've had better Mr Whippys off the ice cream van.

And yet I'll still get one next year. What a mug...

I do like Dole Whip float but when we visit my brother in Ireland all the garages sell proper Mr Whippy and a large is the size of my head 😂. Ok maybe not but it’s huge and better than Dole Whip.

Yeah this ^^^^

Nice but the queues and the cost are over the top for what you get

The school bread (Norway pavilion in Epcot).

Just a very dry and very dense bread roll with a tiny amount of custard (maybe 2%) and a few coconut flakes.

It was so dry and flavourless that I binned it after 3 bites. I don't get the online hype for it.

I agree with Lisa about the Gideon’s cookies. Summer House on the Lake has much better ones. I also don’t get the hype for cheeseburger spring rolls, they are oily and bland.

Anything on social media where sheep go and queue up. That Gideon’s place is a good place to start.
