I'm here!

I might have to take you up on the postcards offer....and I will of course reciprocate for Henry when we are there in November. I'll PM you my address.

Also - the FOOD! FOOD! FOOD! My stomach is doing twists and dips as we speak. And how in the name of all that is holy in this world did I NOT know about the coconut Mickeys?!?! I LOVE coconut!! Delish!!

You are SO CLOSE!!! Less than 1 month away!!!

 

[MHTeacher]

SNACKS !!! My favorite topic! Except of course, for meals!

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Quite a yummy line up you've got there. I am over your love note to the Norway pretzel. That's some serious love you have going on there.

It's the ice cream sandwich that most calls me. Can't wait to try it in October!!

 

[blessedby3]

Wow...my computer goes on the blink AGAIN for a few days and you have started your PTR and its already on pg 13 Im IN AGAIN and cant wait to take this ride with you
Since I have no trip in the works, Im so glad that you do!!! Sadly we probably wont go back until Nov '11
My poor dd2 (Alexa) tells me EVERYDAY that she wants to go to Dizzy World I love this, but it also makes me so sad that we wont be going back for awhile and she just doesnt understand time yet. We just went this past May........will I survive till next Nov?????
I also cant believe you havent had a Mickey waffle yet You have been MISSING out. These are my favorite and I eat lots of them at Ohanas every trip You will be in LOVE
I'll be sitting here enjoying your planning

Every time I read a post of yours, I realize how much we are riding the same wavelengths!! Pretzels! Spicy ones to boot!! Although, I'd have to go Minnie str. bars over an Itzak. Beloved almond pretzel, be mine!

That is VERY cool about going in November! An excellent idea! Our next trip will be in March (it's loosely on the books right now), and not sure what we are doing after that. I was wondering if our trips were going to cross again at some point - I still want to do the Ultimate Touring Plan someday!

I was thinking about the Ultimate Touring Plan as well! It would be a lot of fun to meet you in WDW again, but I think it might be more likely that the possibility for a meet would come up in NYC at some time. After my first visit in 2008, NYC is very high on my list of places to visit (again) - I never made it into any museum while there and I love art!

Well...we might have to re-think our choice. Though, I have read that Spring Break isn't too bad crowd wise....hmmm....

Well, the UG Crowd Calendar has a significant rise in predicted crowds on March 12, February 27 to March 11 look pretty good, though.

Are those Coconut Mickey Head Patties like a Mounds bar? Oh my gosh!

Those things are absolutely wonderful!! Katharina and I got a small packet of them and never got around to eat them. We then packed it in the suitcase and at the airport I picked up another small packet to eat on the plane, which we did not eat either. So after the trip we both had a small packet each and a few weeks after the trip we talked about how good these were and why we did not get a large box.... We both loved them and I think they were our favourite snacks of the trip!

All your other snacks sound great, too! Well, besides the root beer float. Can't stand root beer. I think it is one of those acquired tastes you have to grow up with as a kid to like. Like marmite which all Australians seem to love.

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

I opened your PTR and will catch up there ASAP too!

I love snacks. Especially Disney snacks. I'm not even sure I could pick a favorite but very high up on the list are Dole Whip Floats and Itzakadoozies.

But I stay away from pretzels...in Germany at least. There was this unfortunate incident with a pretzel and a duck and choking. And I wasn't the one choking. The duck was. Traumatizing I tell you. (The duck ended up A-OK though.) Those 'Do Not Feed The Birds' signs should be heeded.

 

[OhioDisneyLover]

Oh, how I love Disney snacks!

 

[TyRy]

The snack list looks great. All the chocolately things look so yummy, but I can barely handle a bite of a Mickey bar with my allergy . I didn't know about the root beer floats...I'm going to have to track that down!

OH (and yes, I know I'm late with this) and you're going to laugh, but - my request for Cape May...do they still have doughnuts with breakfast? Most places seem to have gotten rid of them and just left pastries.

Clearly NOT a Disney Magical Moment.

 

[disneydusted]

Wow, your snacks look amazing!! I think I will have to write down where to find some of them so I know where they are when everyone is hungry! The frozen chocolate Mickey head is a must!
We always like the frozen lemonade in the Africa part of AK. Its really good with Cheetoes, I know... not very Disney-like but really good! The chocolate crepes in France are good too!
Our room at BWV was in the same section overlooking the quiet pool that the previous post from ptcrn showed. It is really a nice location. I loved being able to look out at the Swan and the canal going to DHS. You will hear the boats tooting their horns as they pass under the bridge... it's great!

 

[LoveMyTwoPrincesses]

We got a Spicy Jalapeño Pretzel at a cart across the way and down a little bit from the entrance to It's Tough To Be a Bug. The pretzel along with a frozen lemonade was fantastic!

 

[that's nice]

I was just stopping by to check out your PTR... I didn't read through it all yet but thanks for the links! I must say that we, as of today, have never been to the Boardwalk. We were so close last trip but it just didn't happen. We really need to get over there and walk around and take in the sights.

BTW... That CLOWN is super scary!!!!!!

 

[loritemp]

Thanks to you, on my way home last night I had to stop ay the Pretzel Factory and pick some up Dh and DS were quite happy with that though!!!

I think I also need to keep this list. Oh and I second the frozen lemonade, definite favorite of mine!! And because of you, on my next trip I will be getting the little corn dog thingies in MK, never had 'em!!!

 

[Tinkerbellarella]

Clearly NOT a Disney Magical Moment.

No. That was NOT where the Magic lived.

 

[luvfigment]

Can I just tell you my mouth is WATERING right now! I love Disney snack also especially the Mickey Head Rice Krispy Treats...it must be the shape. The coconut/chocolate Mickey heads are really yummy also. As we mentioned before I am looking forward to going into Goofy Cand Co on my next trip.

I can't wait to see picture of Henry eating his very own Mickey Ice Cream! Something about kids with ice cream all over their face just makes me smile.

I also love that Henry recognizes the Castle when watching movies and asks you if you want to go to Mickey's house! Too cute!!!!

 

[praisehisname]

--Root Beer Float - I know they have them at a stand in Adventureland...Sleepy Hollow? - I love Root Beer Floats, they are completely refreshing on a hot day, muck like the Dole Whip!

My son got one at Aloha Isle when the rest of us got Dole Whips.

--Popcorn - Everywhere! Except Epcot during Illuminations it seems... - I have never had Disney World popcorn! I read so much about how good it is, plus the souvie bucket is a very nice bonus. I tried to search some out before Illuminations in December, but couldn't find any...hopefully this gaping hole my Disney experience will be mended.

When we were there last December, we watched Illuminations from between UK and Canada. There was popcorn available right there.

 

[All7OfUs]

BTW... That CLOWN is super scary!!!!!!

I so don't understand how Disney came up with clowns vomiting out children??

 

[brookelizabeth]

Okay, I'll take one of each!

Are those Coconut Mickey Head Patties like a Mounds bar? Oh my gosh!

Yes! They are. Except BETTER due to the Mickey Shape and no calories.

I am totally hungry right now.

Great choices BE!

Thanks! Looking back at the list makes my stomach growl!

*drool*

I'm hungry. So hungry that I just got my snack out of my lunch bag.

You have a thing for pretzels, eh?

You must must must MUST try the cream cheese pretzel!! It is so very yummy.

Ah, the power of suggestion! Ya, I didn't realize I had a thing for pretzels, because I rarely crave the hard pretzel you can buy in a bag, but soft pretzels - or when they are covered in sugar - SIGN ME UP! The cream cheese pretzel is very, very, VERY high on the list. It's right behind the Golden Nuggets for MK! Over the Dole Whip!!

Your snack list looks wonderful. I am tempted to print it out and place it in my Disney file for my next trip. The pictures all looks so delicious. I agree there is nothing like a Disney Snack.

Every trip I bring back Goofy's character gummies and the coconut patties so I have a little Disney treat to help me get over being at home and not at Disney.

We got those Goofy's character gummies last trip for Henry - a big bag, he had them for quite a while after the trip too, which was a lot of fun. Great idea to bring some home - I think I'll do that and have a little Disney at home to tide us over between trips!

I cannot believe you have never had

Disney Popcorn is the best -- better than any home popcorn, movie theater popcorn, etc.

And I know what you mean about trying to search it out before Illuminations. We were watching Illimunations last year and I had to walk WAY over to the stand that was located by the two stores in the promenade when you enter World Showcase and decide to go left or right to start your tour of WS (I almost couldn't find my husband when I walked back because of the crowds).

And you know hubby loves his Mickey Bar's. And of course Henry should have his own (or two or three).

You do like pretzels, huh? I'd have to skip the coconut ones -- no coconut for anyone in our house.

I know! I know! Between the popcorn, the Mickey Waffle and never riding HM I'm hardly a DISer! Popcorn is very high on the list because Henry will gobble it as well. Very good to know what stand its sold at in Epcot! I know exactly what one you are talking about too. I will try to keep that in mind, a perfect snack for munching around the world! Do they sell them in the little souvie buckets there too? I know MeMom has gotten the buckets before Fantasmic! and I have a loose DIS meet for F!, plus, that would distract Henry from all the waiting...hmmm... (sorry, rambling "out loud" here!)

Are you allergic to coconut?
