Are their any must-have desserts on-site?

Thinking to our WDW days, 'Ohana's bread pudding is one of my family's favorite desserts. Are their any must-have desserts anywhere at DLR? I'm a sugar junkie and can't wait to get my fill!!

Well...since you asked....

At the Paradise Pier Hotel, in the PCH Grill restaurant, they serve the Kitchen Sink (also served at WDW), which is the ginormous sundae with something like 10 or 12 scoops of ice cream, all kinds of toppings, candy bars, brownies, cookies, whatever - everything but the kitchen sink. And it is served in a 'kitchen sink' bowl!!!

Then, over at the Carnation Cafe on Main Street in DL, they serve the yummy Matterhorn Sundae, which, I think, has 4 scoops of ice cream (though the one I shared with friends only had 3, for some reason), whipped cream, toppings, etc. In fact, it is a real treat to be able to go to Carnation, order the Matterhorn Sundae and a piece of their delicious apple pie a la mode (which comes with whipped cream and strawberries as well as ice cream) and a couple of coffee drinks, share the desserts with friends and just soak in the atmosphere.

The Blue Ribbon Bakery has delicious, ooey gooey, messy cinnamon rolls and all kinds of other pastries.

I think the gingerbread men cookies with mouse ears are served year round at the bakeries and candy stores.

Rainforest Cafe serves the Volcano ice cream concoction.

Blue Bayou in NOS used to serve the famous Flying Dutchman cookie boat dessert, but it is gone and there is no immediate sign of it returning.

Golden Horseshoe serves a big, honkin' slice of chocolate cake called Mile High Cake.

I guess Tigger Tails are considered dessert.

If you go during either Halloweentime or Christmastime, there are all kinds of seasonal goodies around (like peppermint cupcakes, pumpkin fudge, etc.)

I will keep thinking.....

My son and I love the Banana's Foster at the Jazz Kitchen.

Dole Whips!

Didn't think I would like pineapple ice cream, but ended up getting it twice on my trip.

We love the banana coconut cream pie at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen (DTD), and a stop at Burr-r-r Bank Ice Cream in DCA is always good for a sundae. See http://www.wdwinfo.com/disneyland/dining/menus-detail.cfm?restaurant.ID=502 for the complete selection.

Double chocolate bread pudding at Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen. Order it when you order your main course though, as it takes about 25 minutes to prepare. Yummm.

Their regular bread pudding is deeelish as well.

I really like the Firehouse 105 sundae @ the Main St. Cone Shop and funnel cakes are always yummy & they sell them @ different places in both parks.

Not for me. I had a cinnamon roll at RiverBelle Terrace and it was just nasty. DS once had a nice scoop of vanilla ice cream at Blue Bayou, but it wasn't on their menu (it was his b'day). I don't like Dreyers brand ice cream all that much. Sigh.

OK well the Mickey Bars are pretty good.

But mainly we just go to the Haagen Dasz in DownTown Disney and have a treat there.


From our experience the last two trips, they've even changed the formerly-yummy chocolate chip cookies sold at the bakeries, which were always a go-to item for us...now they are, as DS says, "not on our list".

My favorite is the coconut macaroons drizzled with chocolate from the Blue Ribbon bakery.

DW loves those too. I can't believe I left them out!
