Addicted to Disney
Episode 2 :Exploring the Magical World of Disney Snacks
As Caz proudly sports a smudge of chocolate on her cheek, testament to the joy of Mickey bars, we invite you on a delectable journey through Disney's snack universe.
From the elusive POG juice that tantalizes our taste buds to the technicolor splash of Fanta that paints our smiles (and cups!), we explore the vibrant world of Disney treats with the fervor of true foodies. Our latest podcast sails through the sweet and savory waves of Disney parks and cruise lines, recounting tales of culinary quests and collectible mania, all while indulging in the magic that is Disney snacking.
We uncover the charm of Mickey-shaped waffles, confess our popcorn bucket obsessions, and laugh over the guilty pleasure of cardboard-esque Mickey pizzas that somehow taste like a slice of heaven at the Happiest Place on Earth. As we reminisce about the Epcot food festivals' delectable offerings, we also drop anchor to share our top picks from the Disney cruise snack selection, including the "All Hands on Deck" cheese plate and the legendary chicken tenders.
Join us as we recount these tales with the same excitement as hunting for hidden Mickeys, and get ready to set sail on a flavorful journey that promises to be as captivating as the fireworks over Cinderella's Castle.
Caz and Wayne are Addicted to Disney, a podcast about the ups and downs of Disney trips, from Parts to Cruises we will try it all.
Caz collects Disney Ears, Characters and Loungefly bags. Wayne likes cameras.
Right guess what.
Speaker 2:What.
Speaker 1:I've hit record.
Speaker 2:Oh, you've pressed that button. Uh-oh, I've got no idea what's coming, haha.
Speaker 1:It's worrying me now. Why is it worrying you?
Speaker 2:I don't know what you've got on that beer paper.
Speaker 1:Ah, I've been writing notes for this podcast. Uh-oh, do you want to introduce us?
Speaker 2:Hi everyone, welcome back to Addicted to Disney, the podcast. Now I believe Mr Disney has been planning today's podcast. What are we talking about?
Speaker 1:We're talking about Disney food.
Speaker 2:Food, glorious food, oh, my favorite.
Speaker 1:Haha, your favorite. So what is your favorite? Disney, food, disney bar. Well, actually, actually, before we start, we need to. I need to define what I mean by Disney food. Disney food is food available, snack food available in Disney parks.
Speaker 2:That's Mickey shapes and no calories.
Speaker 1:Oh I was, I was going to get onto that I'm going to go to that Okay.
Speaker 1:We'll get onto that concept, but basically, disney food that is available in the parks and, to a certain extent, also available on the cruise liners, but this is snack food, so this is not the food that you would generally get day to day to actually sit down and have a meal, although you could probably sit and have a meal from snack food in a Disney park, and actually we have done so several times. So, getting onto my little list, what is your favorite Disney snack food?
Speaker 2:Oh, I've got too many actually. Mickey bars, dolwhip popcorn, mickey waffles, churros.
Speaker 1:So what's your favorite?
Speaker 2:I think it's probably the Mickey bar.
Speaker 1:The Mickey bar the.
Speaker 2:Mickey bar, the Mickey ice cream bar, which is basically, if you can imagine, a magnet, but it's Mickey Mouse head shape and it has the best chocolate ever and it makes a lovely crunchy bite into it, although I do sometimes end up with chocolate around my face.
Speaker 1:You do realize this is not an AMSR video.
Speaker 2:No, I know, it's not an AMSR video. Chocolate, oh chocolate.
Speaker 1:Oh Jesus, mickey bars, mickey bars. And does one get Mickey bars everywhere? No, no. So where can you get Mickey bars?
Speaker 2:Generally Mickey bars are either available to purchase from the carts in the parks. So in Disneyland Paris that'd be the main Disneyland park, so I've never found them in the studios in Mickey, in Disneyland Paris and in Walt Disney World. You can generally get them in most of the parks and then they're also on the cruise.
Speaker 1:Yes, the cruise. Yes, you get Mickey bars for free from room service on the cruise. And also if you're in rotation or dining and we'll talk about rotation or dining in another podcast you can ask for a Mickey bar for a dessert and Kaz several times has done so and they sort of initially look at her going that's what we normally do for children. She's like please, and they go okay, yeah, you can have one.
Speaker 2:And it comes with sprinkles.
Speaker 1:Now it comes with sprinkles and a plate, which is quite bizarre. Okay, so Mickey bars is your number one. What else have I got on my little list? Pog juice. Oh jungle juice Jungle juice. Now you'll have to explain what Pog juice is.
Speaker 2:Pog juice is papaya, orange and guaya juice mixed together and it's like it's guava. It's guava Okay guava and it's quite a tropical juice flavor. It's a nice orangey color and it's just really tasty.
Speaker 1:It's just really tasty, and I spent at least two years listening to how wonderful this Pog juice was, because where was it only available initially?
Speaker 2:Initially. I don't ever manage to find it on the cruise ships. And then when we went to Walt Disney World, we discovered that some of the buffets and the sit down restaurants you got Pog juice with the breakfast.
Speaker 1:So, yeah, we went and discovered it and it's not too bad. I mean, yeah, it's a bit tropical and it's a bit orangey. Yeah, we won't talk about orange drinks, will we?
Speaker 2:No, we won't talk about orange juice. The only thing about Pog juice is you can't get it in the UK. The closest thing I've managed to find is a well-known brand of smoothies. Do a tropical juice which is close-ish, but it's not Pog juice.
Speaker 1:You are allowed to advertise. You mean innocent.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, innocent, Okay, innocent do a tropical smoothie drink, which is nice, but it's not quite Pog juice. And it was quite funny to see Mr Disney's face on a recent cruise where we're walking through Marseille Market trying to find a table, the next thing he turns round and I'm walking with a glass of Pog juice.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd found a table 20 minutes later. It's like where's cats, and cats was in the queue for Pog juice. So yeah, Pog juice.
Speaker 2:I can help you. I like Pog juice.
Speaker 1:Whilst, on the subject of orange-colored drinks, we have to tell the story of the orange Fanta, don't we?
Speaker 2:Yeah, one thing about Fanta America is it's very, very orange, as in a real bright, vibrant orange, almost traffic cone orange.
Speaker 1:It's not just bright orange. It probably uses one of those chemicals that is banned in the rest of the world because it gives you, probably turns kids into little terrors not that they aren't anyway.
Speaker 2:I probably explained to them I'm always hyperactive.
Speaker 1:Probably, but also it manages to stain the inside of the cup bright orange and also your lips as well. So yeah, Fanta in the States. I love to know what chemical they put into it, because it's certainly orangey.
Speaker 2:And it's not just the orange fan to the strawberry fan that I got was real bright red, as in the brightest red you can imagine.
Speaker 1:Oh, what did I discover? Because the background to this this was actually in Riviera and they have Coke freestyle machines and you can then freestyle machine is basically one of these auto dispensing machines where you can select a thousand different options. And I discovered Coke with cream soda, which sounds really bizarre and weird mix, but it's really nice, I like that. But yeah, you discovered a few other weird flavorings.
Speaker 2:It's worth mentioning that in the results you can actually get what they call a resort mug, which is a Disney pattern mug which has got a RFID tag at the bottom, and then you can use it to basically have unlimited soft drinks in any other resort. So if you're standing with the error and you suddenly end up in Polynesian, you can still go to their drink station and get free drinks and it's basically activated for the whole length of your holiday.
Speaker 1:You do have to pay for it. It's not free.
Speaker 2:You have to pay for it. It's not. They're not free. You do actually have to pay for it or they get included on the dining plan these days, but they are worth getting this. On our last trip, I think we definitely got our. I think it was $20 for the whole trip and I think we definitely got our $20 worth Burning Mind in the parks. A bottle of Coke is like $6.
Speaker 1:But one thing about American bottles is they're slightly bigger than UK bottles. I spotted this. So an American bottle, I think, is actually probably a pint, because it's just over 500 ml, so make it a pint. I don't know, yeah, where UK bottles are 500 ml and cans are like 330.
Speaker 2:So we were getting one between us.
Speaker 1:We were generally getting one between us. But that's also sort of leads us into the American portion size. American portions generally are massive. And then you add in Disney portions, which are generous anyway. You just we got to the stage where, instead of work, we wouldn't do breakfast, lunch and dinner. We'd have one main planned meal and then a few snacks. And we were still full, we still put on weight.
Speaker 2:So the idea of portions? We were in Disney Springs and we've spotted churros. Yeah, let's have a churro each. What we weren't expecting was a churro to be about 14 inches in length.
Speaker 1:It was big baby.
Speaker 2:It was huge, it was big.
Speaker 1:It was nice. It wasn't too bad. I'm not a massive lover of churros, but, yeah, it was a bit big, so we ended up getting one between us rather than one each. But I mean, whilst we're on the subject of Riviera, I think the one thing we need to mention at Riviera is the Riviera cookie.
Speaker 2:Ah, the cookies Cookie. Nom nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom nom.
Speaker 1:Riviera cookies, which I think were sort of chocolate with salted caramel, were gorgeous and I think we probably at 15 between us over the two or three days we were there, because they were just really nice and soft and squishy and really cookies in America versus cookies in the UK there's no comparison. Cookies in the UK sort of go from the packet stuff which is like two inches, or if you go to Tesco's or ASDA you get a larger cookie which is like a flat wodge of stuff, but then you go to America and Riviera cookies were nice. But then we did have the luxury experience of going into Disney Springs and discovering Gideons.
Speaker 2:Oh, Gideon's cookies.
Speaker 1:Oh, gideon's cookies. Now, gideons is one of these places where they are well known for what they do, to the extent of there is actually a three hour queue to get in. That's a queue to get in.
Speaker 2:Virtual queue as well.
Speaker 1:It's so long. It's a virtual queue which scuppered us because when we turned up they said give us your American mobile number and we'll ping you when you're on the virtual queue, and it was like we're English and we don't have one. So they took pity on us and did something else which we're not going to let the secrets out.
Speaker 1:It was pixie dust, it was pixie dust. But yeah, if you go, if you want to go, go and talk to the door staff and see what they might do for you. We did still have to queue up for a bit, but yeah, you go in there and it's almost like an old fashioned bookshop. But it's a very bizarre bookshop, it's almost it's almost like an occult bookshop. I don't know if I've never been into an occult bookshop.
Speaker 2:I know what you mean.
Speaker 1:It's almost like horror, but not horror. And they're. The cookies are laid out under glass cabinets and then you go to the counter. You're only allowed six per person. So either they're they're they're thinking about your diet or the fact that they are so popular and they're quite expensive. They're like $12 cookie. When they come out, they you have never had a cookie until you've had a Gideon's cookie and they have different flavors and they have a flavor of the month. We had a ginger one, which was spicy and blew your head off.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we had the eternal flame, which was I had a spicy and blew your head off. I had actually read what was in it.
Speaker 1:I had a chilly.
Speaker 2:Yes, somebody decided to give me a piece to try, and the next week it's like, ah, that's spicy. But we also had the Valentine's special that was cherry, it was almost like a black foresty category.
Speaker 1:It was really nice. It was very. Yeah, it was really nice.
Speaker 2:But these cookies also are about half pounds worth of cookie each.
Speaker 1:So yeah, half a pound as in weight. So yeah, they were seriously heavy Between. The two of us were like, yeah, we're full now. We've just eaten a cookie each.
Speaker 2:We didn't even eat the whole cookie. I think we only had like a quarter if that, because we took the rest back to the resort with us.
Speaker 1:Okay, we ate them eventually. But yeah, no the Gideon's cookies. If you get the chance, go to Gideon's in Disney Springs.
Speaker 2:Speaking of Disney Springs, you also want to go to Swirls on the Water.
Speaker 1:I was just going to Swirls on the Water, oh yeah.
Speaker 2:Could I go there now?
Speaker 1:No, oh please, because why do we have to go to Swirls on the Water? Dole Whip, dole Whip. Now, dole Whip is some concoction. It's almost like soft scoop, soft serve ice cream that comes out of a machine, and the first time I tried it it was horrible because we went to Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 2:No, we were in Epcot. We went to the Africa Pavilion quicksurfing Epcot and I got you pineapple Dole Whip.
Speaker 1:Which was horrible. It was so sharp.
Speaker 2:But don't mind that Mr Disney had never actually tried Dole Whip. Well, I'd actually had Dole Whip before, because I had it in Disneyland Paris as part of the 30th anniversary and it is so refreshing, very filling at the same time, and it can be quite tart, it can be really sweet.
Speaker 1:But the pineapple one is excessively tart. I wouldn't describe it. As for me, it's okay. I wouldn't say it's the most wonderful thing I've ever eaten. But then we went to Swales on the Water in Disney Springs and had three. Hey, but these are little tiny. These are taster pots. We did have a selection and a couple of times have been they've been different.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't think we've had the same flavour twice there, and then there was the green and orange one that we had in Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, which was?
Speaker 2:In Dinosaurland, in Dino World, in Animal Kingdom.
Speaker 1:Which was nice.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was actually. I think that was orange and vanilla. That was really nice as well.
Speaker 1:But yeah.
Speaker 2:Dole Whip is another one of my favourite Disney snacks. Again, I think most Disney snacks are my favourite Disney snacks.
Speaker 1:Is there any Disney snack you don't like? Hmm?
Speaker 2:Anything that's got marmite or peanut butter in it. There is a thing called an Uncrustable, which is sort of like a peanut buttery crusty sandwich thing. They have all the quick serves and grab and grows and that doesn't appear.
Speaker 1:I shall make my efforts to find this, because I quite like peanut butter.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's called an Uncrustable.
Speaker 1:Uncrustable. Okay, I shall be looking at this. Shall we discuss the Disney diet?
Speaker 2:The Disney diet. There is no calories in Disney.
Speaker 1:Well, that's not strictly true. The definition of a Disney diet Disney in their esteemed wisdom, and I don't know who it was. I don't think it was you.
Speaker 2:It was actually one of our friends.
Speaker 1:Well, it's probably been floating around the world, because I've seen it a few places. There is this idea that if it's Disney shaped, or, more specifically, Mickey shaped.
Speaker 2:No, if it's not food shaped.
Speaker 1:I thought it was just Mickey shaped. No, no, no.
Speaker 2:If it doesn't look like food and it's not shaped by food, then there's no calories.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And 90% of the time that's. I prefer my version of it and 90% of the time it is sort of Mickey shaped.
Speaker 1:So that includes things like well, the obvious, the Mickey bar.
Speaker 2:Yep.
Speaker 1:Mickey waffles, which is another thing that Kaz runs around, goes where's the Mickey waffles? We turn up to a restaurant, particularly breakfast, and you can't sit down. You can't do anything until Kaz has found one. Does it have pog juice? And two, does it have Mickey waffles? And if it has Mickey waffles tell me a rest of breakfast restaurant we went to, where you didn't look for the Mickey waffles, precisely Exactly Point that made a top tip If you like Mickey waffles and you go into a buffet restaurant, go to the children's section.
Speaker 1:Yes, because all the little children have stuck all their fingers in everything. I'm not always. Where was that? I'm trying to think. Where was that?
Speaker 2:Inventions.
Speaker 1:Yes, we went to inventions. Inventions was a sit down restaurant, stroke semi buffet in the Disney.
Speaker 2:It was in the Disneyland hotel. It was in the Disneyland hotel in Disneyland Paris.
Speaker 1:The version we went to was in the Disneyland hotel, the version of Paris, and I stood there watching a small child stick their hands into the cheesecake and just use their hand to scoop the cheesecake onto their plate. Yeah, that was a bit and that for me was like okay, yeah, I think buffets now I'm always going to look to see who's been in them beforehand.
Speaker 2:And what was really horrible was I really wanted cheesecake.
Speaker 1:So you made up for it by finding the macaroons instead.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they just put a tray of macaroons and I was good, I left the tray behind, or at least I left half the tray behind.
Speaker 1:Well, we talked about half the trace, because you also went into a very posh restaurant which I think might have been inventions where the rest of us reading off normal plates knew, somehow managed to get the Mickey shaped child plate.
Speaker 2:That was inventions.
Speaker 1:That was inventions, yes, which was quite yeah, okay, so the rest of us are eating like adults off a plate and Kaz has got a little plastic plate.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, I'm a big kid at heart. That's why I'm addicted to Disney.
Speaker 1:I know.
Speaker 2:I saw a post earlier today which is Disney. Girls are born with Disney in their veins. Yeah, my veins are definitely for the Disney.
Speaker 1:That's a Mickey pizza.
Speaker 2:Yeah, mickey pizza, which is always cruel because they look so nice in the box, and then you have to rip Mickey's ears off.
Speaker 1:And they actually do taste a bit like cardboard. Oh, they don't, yes, they do. They're just like a bog standard pizza.
Speaker 2:It's a pizza. I know they're nice, they're okay.
Speaker 1:I mean, normally, when we eat them, we're starving.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then I won't mention Mr Disney and popcorn.
Speaker 1:What about Mr Disney and popcorn?
Speaker 2:It always says it doesn't want popcorn, but then if either me or Statue or someone else has got popcorn, suddenly Mr Disney does want popcorn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's. I don't see an issue with this.
Speaker 2:And you're saying it's actually a popcorn. No, no, no, no, no, I've done popcorn.
Speaker 1:The problem with popcorn at Disney isn't actually the popcorn, is it? It's the popcorn buckets. Don't know what you mean. Yeah, popcorn Disney have this thing about producing items that can be quote, collected, and we will talk about Disney collectibles at another point Collectibles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, collectibles and we will talk about collectibles at some other point, because Kazi is a collector, no-transcript, exactly. But yeah, disney popcorn buckets are basically plastic buckets with some character. I think the last current one, actually the last one that you went round looking for, was the purple. Was it purple, the Cinderella coach?
Speaker 2:The oh, you mean the one that's.
Speaker 1:The one that's, yeah, the one that's currently in our studio.
Speaker 2:Which our lovely friends actually picked up for me and bought back from Disneyland Paris for the popcorn form.
Speaker 1:In other words, you cheated.
Speaker 2:Now, the last one I really wanted to find was when we were in Epcot last year during Flower and Garden, when they had the figment popcorn bucket.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And I couldn't get that one. And then this year when we was out there, they had the figment imagination garden bucket, which I really wanted until I saw how big it was, and it was a case of that's not coming home in my suitcase. Just get another suitcase. Don't tell me that.
Speaker 1:I always tell you that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but then you'll complain we've got excess baggage. Why have we got excess baggage? Because of all my collectibles.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you've got more space than I can buy stuff.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I must admit, I'm not the only one who collects things in Disney.
Speaker 1:I'm saying nothing. We'll discuss that in another podcast.
Speaker 2:Okay, we'll discuss collectibles in another podcast.
Speaker 1:I mean, whilst we aren't talking about Epcot, Epcot do really nice food festivals.
Speaker 2:They do, don't they?
Speaker 1:I think technically I wouldn't class them as real food. I think they're snack food, but they're real food done as snacks, because they come out in little tiny plates. It's like beef Wellington, yeah, but it's like three mouthfuls. Therefore, it's a snack, but it is really nice.
Speaker 2:And then that Black Forest Ghetto on me had was nice.
Speaker 1:Oh, the deconstructed Black Forest Ghetto which we still talk about now. Yeah, that was very nice and very, very filling.
Speaker 2:There are challenges that you can do, like eat your way around the world, because at Epcot you have one area which is all the theme zones. You've got the zone and you've got the galaxy, you've got the imagination, you've got the lamp, and then you have the World Showcase Lake and that's where you have the snack trucks and snack counters and challenges to eat around the world. I think we've only ever managed three.
Speaker 1:About three countries out of how many at Epcot 12?.
Speaker 2:It's 11 now on World Showcase, but there's no way I would do all 11.
Speaker 1:I would explode.
Speaker 2:We'd have to stagger it.
Speaker 1:Well, I think some of, I think, mammoth Club do stagger it. I can't, I don't think they do everything on the same day no. Molly, if you're listening to this, please tell us. Do you do them all on the same day or do you cheat and do sort of three on one day? It?
Speaker 2:would be nice to know if there is actually a trick, because they do have some really interesting snacks and there are some that we want to have. And also, while we're talking about snacks and snack parts, in Disneyland Paris sometimes they have in the studios. They're gourmet, they're gourmet huts down by the Ratatouille, right, Don't?
Speaker 1:they. Oh yeah, Well, we had that cheese and potato concoction.
Speaker 2:At the RSA.
Speaker 1:Which was actually quite nice, apart from the fact that it was peeing down with rain at the time and there was nowhere to sleep, nowhere to sit, I mean, and we were cold, and we were cold, but it was nice. And whilst we're talking about cold, you haven't mentioned something that we get obsessed with when we go to Disneyland Paris. She's looking at me going what?
Speaker 2:do you have the Disney Hot Chocolate?
Speaker 1:The Disney Hot Chocolate, but it only seems to be in certain places.
Speaker 2:Disneyland Paris seems to have probably the nicest hot chocolate. We've been around We've found I think it's a the Vatsia, I think they're called if the company does it and it's just the nicest hot chocolate ever.
Speaker 1:It's the Vatsia.
Speaker 2:The Vatsia that's I think that's the brand, cause that seems to be who sponsors all Disneyland Paris's coffee shops now we got it somewhere.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's a really nice thick dark hot chocolate.
Speaker 2:It's a thick, dark hot chocolate. It's never a scolding heart, it's just hot enough. But when it's cold, obviously, disneyland Paris being in Europe, european weather is so changeable anyway. We've been in Disneyland Paris when it's been 40 degrees. We've been in Disneyland Paris when it's minus seven degrees, so a 40 degrees for Americans is hot 40 degrees for Americans. A Celsius 40 degrees for Americans is what it is in America now.
Speaker 1:It depends where you are. In America, some places have got snow.
Speaker 2:In Florida. In Florida at the moment it's what it's as hot as it normally is in Disneyland Paris in the summer the Disney hot chocolate is really really tasty. It's just so nice, although we'd have found the odd one or two where it was disgusting and watering towards the end of the day. They've obviously not topped the chocolate powder up and it hasn't been sort of it's had a a waf of chocolate.
Speaker 1:Yes, or a waf of chocolate.
Speaker 2:It was more chocolate flavored water than hot chocolate. But yeah, disneyland hot chocolate is really nice, chocolate in Florida's, hot chocolate in Florida's nice as well, because I have had the Florida hot chocolate.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll try to think. If I had it or not, I can't remember. Anyway, I mean, whilst we're on the subject of Florida, we do. We do have to give a momentous mention to the most obscure and weird thing that we at, which was cheeseburger and pizza spring rolls.
Speaker 2:Oh, these were Magic Kingdom, weren't they?
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:And the first day were Ms Ellie Schill.
Speaker 1:First day and that's another mammoth club.
Speaker 2:I think that was.
Speaker 1:I think, I think we're going to be able to get it.
Speaker 2:I think part of it will be fine, because we also had jet lag still.
Speaker 1:Possibly. But yeah, spring rolls, so Chinese style spring rolls, and you had a choice between cheeseburger flavor and pizza flavor and I think we both decided actually the cheeseburger flavor was the last one.
Speaker 2:We had one of each, didn't we?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean they were very nice, but it was just really bizarre because it's you have literally a cheeseburger in a spring roll, so you've got that texture of a spring roll and the crunch as you bite into it and then you've got a cheeseburger and it's tastes like a cheeseburger and then the pizza is a bit more. The pizza version was a bit more pizzeria pepperoni a bit doughy, a bit pepperoni and a bit cheesy.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:I mean, it was definitely a pizza, but he was a spring roll which was just like ZAR.
Speaker 2:So, as we're talking snacks, I think we need to mention some of the crew snacks as well.
Speaker 1:Go on then, because I know exactly what you're going to mention on that one.
Speaker 2:Mr Disney loves room service. Room service is included on your Disney cruise anyway and in particular, mr Disney likes these. They call it the all hands on deck. It's the cheese plate. It's the cheese plate, but you have to ask for extra crackers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and this has happened three times now twice to us and once to a friend of ours. Basically it's a cheese plate, so you get a few bits of cheese and a handful of crackers and some grapes and things like that, and they always stick baby bells on there, but they never give you enough crackers. So the first time we asked for extra crackers, they gave us some extra crackers quite nicely on the plate. The next time, on the next cruise, we asked for extra crackers, they just gave us the entire pack still in its cellophane, and this isn't a little pack, this is an entire, like 30 crackers. And then a friend of ours was like where's ours? We didn't get any. So they asked for extra crackers and they got exactly the same. They got a pack of them. So if you ask for extra crackers, they'll definitely give you extra crack. But the one thing that Kaz has not mentioned about Disney Cruises is the C word.
Speaker 2:The C word the chicken tenders.
Speaker 1:The chicken tenders, if there's one food that Kaz just goes mental about all the time.
Speaker 2:Apart from punk juice, ice creams and Mickey Waffles, yeah.
Speaker 1:And Mickey bars, it's going to be the chicken tenders.
Speaker 2:Disney cruise ships. Sorry, I'd love to know what the recipe is, but there's chicken tenders that you can get in various fast food chains and then there's Disney cruise chicken tenders and I'm sorry, they are the best.
Speaker 1:I think I'd probably agree. I mean, we tried making them once at home and it was just like no chance. But yeah, the chicken tenders were actually not too bad, Although the one thing we did try making at home we think we might have cracked.
Speaker 2:Ah, yes.
Speaker 1:Which is the infamous Disney Rice Krispy cake head things.
Speaker 2:Well, don't make them. I bought one now.
Speaker 1:You can make some later. Okay, Basically these are rice Krispy cakes dipped in chocolate, but they're rice Krispies, marshmallows, butter chocolate more than a sauce when heated up, and then just mold it. Oh sorry, Sorry, Mr Mouse.
Speaker 2:Don't give away the secrets. We haven't quite cracked the recipe, but they are the most.
Speaker 1:Well, you bought some the other day, so we can test it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they are the most, one of the most scrummiest snacks and, yeah, they might accidentally find the one in the suitcase to come home. But you can get all sorts of things you can get some that got chocolate on, some that are mini mouse shape. You can get some that got none on. For the 100th anniversary they had him in purple chocolate. I don't know what flavor that purple chocolate was, but that was nice. But yeah, I did go a bit.
Speaker 1:Is purple a chocolate, is purple a flavor? I don't know.
Speaker 2:Might be in blueberry.
Speaker 1:Might be in blueberry, who knows?
Speaker 2:I don't know.
Speaker 1:All I know is it was rather nice there are some very strange things that the Americans do and we still haven't actually worked out one, because it just like there's no way we're ever going to buy this.
Speaker 2:Which one's that.
Speaker 1:That is the turkey leg. Could someone please explain to us the turkey leg?
Speaker 2:Okay, I can explain to you the turkey leg.
Speaker 1:Well, it's American. It's American, it's big, it's big it's the size of a dog.
Speaker 2:I actually had a turkey leg on a trip to America that I went before I knew Mr Disney from.
Speaker 1:Walt Disney World and did you like it?
Speaker 2:It was okay going in, and that's all I'm going to say.
Speaker 1:There could be so many things wrong with that one.
Speaker 2:I don't mean to change the tone of the podcast, but let's just say it was nice going in.
Speaker 1:That's it really, and I think that's probably a good point to actually stop, because, yeah, we don't want to go into might cut that bit.
Speaker 2:actually, there is one thing we haven't covered yet which is all the Disney chocolate emarsh mellow treats.
Speaker 1:No, we're not going to cover those. I think we've covered enough.
Speaker 2:I think we've covered enough. I think we've covered enough Disney snacks, although now I want a Mickey bar now.
Speaker 1:You can't have a Mickey bar. So yeah, I think we've probably covered a lot of the Disney snacks. They're probably Disney snacks out there that we haven't tried and no doubt the next trip we'll be trying to see if we can find some Disney snacks that we haven't already tried.
Speaker 2:There's definitely some snacks we still haven't tried yet and I know there's some food festivals coming up. We want to try.
Speaker 1:So anyway, thank you for listening to our little podcast. I'm going to make some Mickey bars now You're going to make some Mickey bars.
Speaker 2:All right, Mickey, Mickey rice. Crispy tricks.
Speaker 1:Okay, we haven't quite cracked the recipe for Mickey bars, but we will be keep trying anyway. Thanks for listening. If you like what we're doing, then please consider the old. I don't know what you do on a podcast. I think it's just follow.

Keep your ears up, because there's more coming, because there are a few other interesting podcasts coming, because I've got one I'm going to throw at Mr Disney, but he doesn't know what's coming.
