The tickets will be sold to Guests at all four Disney Hotels at Tokyo Disney Resort for ¥3000 ($27.57) including tax and will be offered […]

Where to Get 4 NEW Desserts in 1 Place in Disney World Right Now!

We’re checking out even more Easter goodies this week around Disney World! We’ve already tried treats like the Miniature Bunny Cake and the Pastel Mickey Whoopie Pie, and today’s adventures is bringing us over to Disney’s Beach Club Resort!

Disney’s Beach Club Resort

Disney’s Beach Club Resort already wowed us with their adorable Easter Egg display in their lobby, which could frankly give the fan-favorite Grand Floridian Easter Egg display a run for its money! But how does their collection of Easter-themed sweets measure up to what we’ve tried so far?

Beach Club Marketplace has an entire assortment of Easter snacks available this year: the Easter Cookies n’ Cream Bonbons, the Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macarons, the Easter Carrot Cupcake, and Easter Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake! We ordered all four desserts to try (we definitely need to keep our dentist on speed dial these days)!

Easter treats available at Beach Club Marketplace!

First up are the Easter Cookies n’ Cream Bonbons! These cuties are a set of four Oreo Bonbons filled with Oreo Mousse with an Oreo Base and sprayed in Chocolate! 

Cookies n’ Cream Bonbons

The bonbons were delicious and an Oreo lover’s dream! Think of the Grey Stuff from Be Our Guest Restaurant, but on top of an Oreo! You can grab the set of four Easter Cookies n’ Cream Bonbons for $6.49.

Cookies n’ Cream Bonbons

Next up are the Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macaroons! This set of three large blue-speckled Macaroons come filled with a Blueberry Ganache as well as a Blueberry Jam, all sitting atop a Chocolate-crunch “Nest” (essentially think chocolate cereal).

Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macarons

The macarons were the surprise hit for us! We were almost shocked at how yummy they taste. On top of that, they were light and had a great texture — this is a great sweet treat that won’t bog you down (plus the color is so preeeetty)! You can find the Robin’s Egg Blueberry Macaroons at Beach Club Marketplace for $6.19!

The surprise hit: the Blueberry Macaron!

Up next: the Easter Carrot Cupcake! Some of the carrot cake-flavored treats have already hit the ball out of the park this year, so this cupcake had a lot to live up to! Today’s version is a Carrot Cake Cupcake with Cream Cheese Icing decorated with Chocolate Ganache, Cookies n’ Cream Crumbs, Buttercream Icing, and Wildflower Quins.

Easter Carrot Cupcake

If you’re into carrot cake as much as we are, you’ll love this dessert! Be warned, however, that the cream cheese frosting is super sweet — almost too sweet for us! Maybe split this cupcake with a friend to better handle the sweetness. You can grab the Easter Carrot Cupcake to try yourself for $5.49.

That’ a LOT of frosting!

Finally, there was the oh-so-adorable Easter Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake. Seriously, when Disney whips together bunny-shaped treats, they nail it on the cuteness factor. This little guy is a Strawberry Cheesecake with a Lemon Crust and sprayed in Velvet White Chocolate. It’s then decorated with a Ruby Red Glitter Glaze and Fondant! Cute for sure, but how did it taste?

Easter Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake

Out of the four snacks we tried, this one actually missed the mark more than the other three. We found the dessert to be overall underwhelming and tasted a bit artificial. The dessert had way too much fondant for us, and we didn’t really care for this dessert at all. If you’re curious, hop over to Beach Club Marketplace and try the Bunny Strawberry Cheesecake for $5.99!

R.I.P. Bunny

Overall, we enjoyed the majority of our Easter treats today! We would totally recommend three out of the four — skip the Bunny Cheesecake! Be on the lookout for even more Easter snack reviews in the coming days and weeks from around Disney World!

Recap: Walt Disney Family Museum’s Virtual Story Time and “Building an Empire” Presentation with Ashley Eckstein

EVERY Pair of Minnie Ears You Can Buy Online Right NOW!

DISCLOSURE: This post may contain affiliate links, meaning when you click the links and make a purchase, we receive a commission.

Okay, we’re here to admit it. We have a problem…we can’t seem to get enough pairs of Minnie ears!

We might be slightly addicted…

Disney has come out with SO many designs that we love that it’s hard to resist every time they drop a new pair. Our collections are growing at a rapid rate and we find ourselves browsing shopDisney more often than we should. 🙈 So you know what we’re going to do about it? Today, we’re taking you along with us during our shopping to show you EVERY pair of Minnie ears available online now! (Don’t be mad at us, we KNOW you want to see! 😉)

The Classics

First up in the “classics” category, we have a few different spins on a traditional pair of black, white, and red Minnie ears. You can get them covered in sequins with a red and white bow, or go opposite and get the red ears with a black and white bow.

These will match almost anything!

You could even match the style of retro Minnie Mouse and get the pair with a blue bow and a daisy on top!

Get that old-school look!

We’re really big fans of the ever-classy Black and Gold Minnie Mouse Sequined Headband and the classic sequins with the red velvet bow, but if you want to gravitate towards the OG, you can try out the adjustable version of the basic Minnie Mouse ears

If you have trouble with regular headbands, check these out!

The adjustable ears are great for people who have trouble wearing traditional headbands. They’re just as cute and WAY more comfortable!

Color Trends

Disney LOVES a catchy color trend, and they’ve made a BUNCH of Minnie ears to match. Let’s start with the first color trend to take off — the Briar Rose Gold Ear Headband (which you can also get in an adjustable version). 

How pretty are these?!

Also, you can’t go wrong with blue! Whether you pick the Cornflower Blue Ears with Sequined Bow or the Wishes Come True Blue pair, you’ll still look stunning.

That color is STUNNING!

You can also pick between the champagne-colored ears and the sequined Minnie ears in the color that Disney calls “Bordeaux” (we think they look like Belle’s winter dress).

These look like the ears you’d wear to a Christmas party! (That is, if you wore Minnie ears to a Christmas party…)

Both of these are especially great choices if you’re visiting during the holidays — think New Year’s Eve and Christmas.

Characters & Movies

If you’re a Disney Princess fanatic, then there are currently two options online: the Ariel Sequin Minnie Mouse Ear Headband and the Mulan Ear Headband. 

These are actually reversible!

There’s also a pair of Up Minnie Ears with little balloons inside and a pair of The Nightmare Before Christmas Ears with all your favorite spooky characters!

Ears for Every Occasion!

Besides those, there are a ton of other pairs to see! If you’re feeling snacky, check out the Minnie Mouse Donut Ear Headband or the Pan Dulce Minnie Ears — we’re getting hungry just looking at them online.

Don’t these look delicious?!

If you’re traveling for a special occasion, like a honeymoon or the EPCOT Flower & Garden Festival, you can pick up a pair of Bridal Minnie Ears or Floral Minnie Ears.

Perfect for springtime!

There’s even a pair for the Disney Cruise Line vacationers!

©Disney

For those who like glitz and glamour, we’d recommend either the Silver and Gold Cinderella Castle Minnie Ears or the Celestial Minnie Ears. They’re both sparkling with all kinds of style!

They literally shine like the stars.

And last but not least, we can’t forget about the oh-so-memorable Unicorn Minnie Mouse Ear Headband with an attached veil!

These are definitely a statement!

There you have it — ALL the Minnie ears that you can buy online right now! Stay tuned to DFB for all the latest in Minnie ear coverage (because we’re addicts too), as well as all the up-to-date merchandise news!
