Drop of Disney

It’s almost Halloween! Since Halloween falls on a weekday this year, we donned our costumes and decided to celebrate this weekend. Of course, no Halloween party is complete without some spooky treats so I made a batch of these not-so-scary Mickey Mummy Cupcakes!

I saw these adorable cupcakes on Disney Family a few years ago and since the mummy wrappings are made out of marshmallow, I knew that my recipe for chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow frosting would be the perfect fit.…

Hocus Pocus is my all time favorite Halloween movie. Growing up, my mom and I would watch it together and we can still quote the lines back to each other. While the plot of the movie is both a bit ridiculous and (as my boyfriend points out) scary, the silly antics of the Sanderson Sisters, Max and company, and the ever adorable cat Binx, captured my heart and I was an instant fan.…

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.…
