Drop of Disney

Happy Friday! It’s getting colder here and so I’ve been making a lot of hot cocoa! There are so many great hot cocoa flavors but my favorite is gingerbread. I love the addition of the ginger and warm spice flavor and so I’m excited to share Mickey’s Gingerbread Cocoa! Topped with whipped cream and homemade Mickey marshmallows, this festive drink will put you in the holiday spirit!…

Happy Friday! I’m just getting back from a magical vacation at Disney World and aboard the Disney Fantasy! I had a wonderful time but am excited to get back into the kitchen and make some magical treats. This week, I’m excited to share a fun copycat recipe from the Cove Cafe!…

Happy Friday! This week, Disney’s Aulani Resort in Hawaii celebrated its 10th anniversary! I would love to visit Aulani someday, but until then I’ll be enjoying a taste of Hawaii at home. Inspired by the breakfast served at the resort, I’ve created these Macadamia Nut Pancakes! These buttermilk pancakes are topped with a creamy vanilla sauce, caramel drizzle, and macadamia nuts!…

Happy Friday! Today, Disneyland is re-opening! While I’m not in California, and therefore unable to visit, it’s still exciting to see magic returning to such a special place. To celebrate this special day, I’m excited to share some favorite Disneyland treats! Found in New Orleans Square, these mint juleps are a refreshing blend of lemonade, club soda, and mint.…

Happy Friday! It’s finally feeling like Spring where I live, which had me thinking about the EPCOT Flower and Garden Festival and one of its mascots, Orange Bird. Oranges always make me think of one of my favorite frozen treats, creamsicles. In EPCOT, an orange slush is usually served in a super cute Orange Bird sipper.…

Happy Friday! January 31st is National Hot Chocolate Day! I’m getting a head start on celebrating with these magical Mickey Mouse Hot Cocoa Bombs. These dark cocoa and red vanilla rounds are filled with hot cocoa powder and mini marshmallows and topped with dark cocoa ears. Just add hot milk and watch it magically transform into a warm and delicious cup of hot cocoa!…

Happy Friday! This week I finished the last of the RunDisney Virtual 5Ks. I’ve really liked this series. It’s been fun way to motivate myself to move more and I’m a little sad to see them come to an end. I don’t think I’m anywhere near ready for the more competitive RunDisney races, so I’m looking forward to seeing what next summer’s virtual series will be!…

Happy April Fool’s Day! With everything going on in the world right now, it sometimes feels hard to be silly and upbeat, but I do think it’s important to take a moment and do something that makes you feel happy. Since April Fool’s Day is all about tricks and jokes, I’m taking to a moment today to watch some cartoons with my favorite jokesters, Chip & Dale.…

We’re getting closer to Halloween! This week ended up being busy and so I wanted to make something quick and fun that still had some Halloween spirit. Enter these adorable Minnie Mouse inspired milkshakes! Originally found at Schmoozies in Disneyland, these Minnie Mouse Witch Shakes are a creamy mint chocolate chip shake with purple whipped cream, an orange chocolate bow, and Oreo ears!…

With October right around the corner, it’s officially pumpkin season! I don’t drink coffee, so Pumpkin Spice Lattes aren’t something I typically enjoy. However, I do enjoy other forms of pumpkin spice foods including these delicious pumpkin spice milkshakes!

When I first heard about the pumpkin spice milkshakes at Walt Disney World, I was both intrigued and hesitant.…
