Drop of Disney

Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year, and now that we’re into October, it finally feels appropriate to break out the decorations, movies, and of course, treats!

One of my favorite parts of visiting Disney World in the fall is seeing the Magic Kingdom decorated for Halloween. I love the large Mickey Mouse pumpkin, the wreaths around Main Street, and Mickey’s Not-So Scary Halloween Party.…

I’m a little late posting this week because I just got back from the EPCOT Food & Wine Festival. I had always wanted to go and feel so lucky that I was able to see it this year. There were so many amazing foods and I loved being able to eat my way around the world!…

After catching a cold and being down for most of this week, I was looking for a bit of a pick me up. Enter these super easy peanut butter cookies. I had previously found a bag of Tollhouse peanut butter and milk chocolate chips and thought they would be great in a chocolate chip cookie.…

Happy Fall!

Now that we’re in September, it’s starting to feel a bit more like fall. Fall has always been one of my favorite seasons. The weather is cool but not cold, the colors are vibrant, and so many delicious treats come into season. One of my favorite seasonal ingredients is pumpkin, which also remind me of one of my favorite princesses, Cinderella, and her magically transformed carriage.…

One of my favorite treats are chocolate covered strawberries. They’re not as heavy as a typical dessert and I love the combination of fresh strawberry and chocolate. Although I usually think of any kind of chocolate dipped treat as a fancy or elegant dessert, these Mickey and Minnie dipped strawberries are actually very easy to make!…

My favorite time to go to Disney World is in the late fall. Not only are all the parks decorated for the holidays, but it’s usually warm without being super hot. Breaking from routine, I had the opportunity to go to Disney World last March, and while I was super excited, I was a little underprepared for how hot it was.…

Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies. I love all of the characters but as a reader, who would often spend hours getting lost in a good book, I felt a kinship to Belle and her desire to find adventure in the great wide somewhere. I was so excited when the Be Our Guest restaurant opened at Disney World because I loved the idea of getting to go inside Beast’s castle.…

I love chocolate. It’s definitely my favorite dessert because it can be used in so many different ways and it tastes delicious! I’ve always wanted to try making my own chocolate candies and when I got this adorable Disney ice cube tray on sale at the Disney Store, I knew it would be perfect.…

The new Christopher Robin movie comes out today and I can’t wait to see it this weekend! I’ve previously mentioned my love of Winnie the Pooh and his Hundred Acre friends and I’m excited to see what how this new story brings them to life. To get ready for the premiere, I made these super cute donuts inspired by Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, and (my favorite) Eeyore.…

While visiting Disney World in March, I had my first Dole Whip, which is a little surprising given the number of times I’ve been to a Disney Park. It was sweet, delicious, and refreshing and it made me wonder why I had gone so long without trying one. This recent heat wave had me thinking about that Dole Whip and so I whipped up a batch of Dole Whip inspired cupcakes.…
