Drop of Disney

Today is World Baking Day and since baking is an activity close to my heart, I’m excited to share these copycat Disneyland M&M Brownies! Just like the ones found at the Grand Californian Hotel, these rich chocolate brownies are topped with chocolate fudge frosting and mini M&Ms!

I spent most of last week craving brownies and these were the perfect chocolate brownie fix!…

It’s National Pretzel Day! One of my favorite Disney park snacks are the big, soft, Mickey pretzels and today I’m excited to share this delicious homemade version! These soft, salty Mickey pretzels are perfect on their own or with some homemade cheese dip!

Pretzels are something I hadn’t really thought about making at home.…

Happy Easter! Our Easter celebration is a bit lower key this year, but we’re still adding a bit of Disney magic with these Mickey shaped bunny butt and Easter egg rice krispies! Inspired by the spring treats found in the parks, these fun rice krispies are a super easy way to brighten up your Easter or spring-time celebrations!…

This week The Incredibles celebrated its 15th anniversary! I can’t believe it’s been so long since it premiered. I prefer the first movie to the second one, but the second movie does introduce a delicious cookie treat–cookie num nums! These tasty deep dish chocolate chip cookies made their debut in the parks last year!…

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!…

Happy Weekend! I’ve been missing being in the Disney parks this week and while living vicariously though posts on Instagram sorta helps, I wanted something a bit more tangible. And so, I decided to re-create the Mickey Milkshake from Schmoozies in Disneyland. Originally made for the Get Your Ears On Celebration, this delicious cookies and cream milkshake is topped with whipped cream, colored sprinkles, and, of course, Oreo Mickey ears!…

Today Galaxy’s Edge officially opens in Disneyland! I must admit I have never been super interested in Star Wars. I tried watching the original movies, but they never clicked with me. However, my boyfriend has seen all of the Star Wars films and so when the newer ones came out, I tagged along to see them.…

Happy Mardi Gras! Growing up, my family would always eat pancakes or waffles on Mardi Gras. It was usually one last sugary meal before a season with a smaller amount of sweet treats. While I usually continue this tradition, I was inspired by the Mickey Mouse beignets in Disneyland and decided to change it up a bit this year.…

When I first saw Mary Poppins, I fell in love with the music, story, and those adorable dancing penguins. It quickly became one of my favorite movies and as I sang along with every song, I was captured by Mary Poppins’ wit, confidence, charm, and firm but loving nature. After the announcement that there would be a second Mary Poppins film, I felt a bit hesitant.…

Happy December! For me, December really starts the holiday season and I can finally turn up the carols, decorate the house, and break out all of the holiday recipes! Unfortunately, December is also prime cold and flu season and I have been terribly sick this past week so I was delayed in posting this new recipe.…
