I saw funnel cakes at the Farmer's Market (the one near PT Flea Market).
Question: where can a Mickey bar be bought with a card? I only saw them at outdoor vendors with no connection for cards...
Royal Street Veranda has the "fritters with dipping sauce". It's an apple custard dip, and is really creamy. The fritters are just balls of fried dough with sugar on them...I like 'em. But the Mickey shaped beignets at Cafe Orleans are quite delicious, and they have two sauces (a berry coulis? and creme anglaise, which I've heard described as the same as melted ice cream, by Emeril, LOL). I can't recommend the beignets at Ralph Brennan's quick-snack area, bleah.
Everyone will talk about the dole whip outside the Tiki Room, but I think they taste like melted plastic with some pineapple flavoring (and if you look at the ingredient list, I'm not that far off!). Not my thang.
You know what? I think for a snacky sort of dessert-ish thing...the chocolate chip cookies found at the only outdoor cart that takes cards, to the left of the castle, are the BEST. They are big but not enormous, they are good, they made me quite happy to eat with my latte.
