Best Desserts in Disney World

Well, we’ve finally done it. We’ve done the hard work so you don’t have to. We put in the sweat, tears, and stained hands — you know, for science.

Cinderella Castle

We’re talking Disney World desserts! Not just any Disney World desserts, but the ones you just can’t stop thinking about. From chocolate to caramel to fruity treats and more, we’ve had our fair share so you can trust us when we say this is our list of the best desserts in Disney World!

Magic Kingdom

Dole Whip, Aloha Isle

We start with a true classic, the ever-popular DOLE Whip. While you can find these at many spots outside of Magic Kingdom, sometimes there’s nothing better than grabbing one from Aloha Isle (in Adventureland), sitting near the Enchanted Tiki Room, and relaxing!

Ain’t she a beaut?

What is a DOLE Whip, you ask? Well, it’s a soft-serve, frozen treat that is perhaps most famously enjoyed in its pineapple flavor, though you can find other flavors of DOLE Whip in Disney World (or get it swirled sometimes with other flavors). You can opt for a DOLE Whip Pineapple, Vanilla DOLE Whip, Raspberry-Pineapple DOLE Whip Swirl, and more at Aloha Isle.

Cheshire Cat Tail, Cheshire Cafe

Love a good pastry? Look no further than the Cheshire Cat Tail! This snack is made of a tail-shaped twisted pastry filled with chocolate chips and topped with squiggles of pink and purple icing. The pastry is full of wonderfully flaky layers, the chocolate flavors really come through, it’s wonderfully gooey, and it has just the right amount of sweetness! 🤌🏼

The Cheshire Cat Tail is an iconic Magic Kingdom snack

Just be warned — this beauty has disappeared from the Cheshire Cafe menu in the past, sometimes making a limited appearance at other spots like The Lunching Pad or temporarily being replaced by other snacks. So just be sure to see if it’s available during your trip!

Wendell’s Bear Claw, Westward Ho

For more delicious pastry fun, make your way to Westward Ho Refreshments in Frontierland for Wendell’s Bear Claw! This is a traditional bear claw (like the ones you have likely had at home) dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with hazelnuts. For those who aren’t familiar with it, a bear claw is a yeast-raised pastry like a type of Danish in a shape that resembles a bear claw.

Wendell’s Bear Claw

But be warned — this was introduced as a 50th Anniversary treat in Disney World. With the 50th Anniversary ending on March 31st, 2023, there’s a chance this delicious treat could go away soon. We hope that won’t be the case here, but we’ll be on the lookout for updates.

What else can you snack on at Westward Ho? Click here to find out!

Peanut Butter Cookie Pie, Main Street Confectionery

The Peanut Butter Cookie Pie at the Confectionery is the stuff of dessert dreams. This treat is made with a Peanut Butter Cookie, Chocolate Frosting, and Peanut Butter M&M’s. Though it can be a hint on the dry side from the peanuts and peanut butter, the cookie is rich, soft, and dense, but not too sweet.

Peanut Butter Cookie Pie

It’s not overly sweet, it’s perfect for peanut butter lovers, oh and Annual Passholders can get a discount since it’s at the Confectionery?! Okay, this is a snack you do NOT want to miss!

Grey Stuff Cupcake, Be Our Guest

If you want to try this iconic dish, head on over to Be Our Guest Restaurant (snag a reservation fast because those can be hard to come by!). There, you’ll be able to get a Dessert Trio that includes a chocolate tart with grey stuff, crisp pearls, and a white chocolate wafer.

The Chocolate Tart with the Grey Stuff is part of the Dessert Trio

Once upon a time, you could also get the Grey Stuff in cupcake form at Gaston’s Tavern, but sadly it has since disappeared from the menu. We can only hope that one day it’ll appear again so you can eat the grey stuff to your heart’s content without that hard-to-get Be Our Guest reservation.

Want to make the grey stuff at home? Use this recipe!

Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake, Liberty Tree Tavern

The Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake is made of a Vanilla Toffee Cake, Chocolate Sauce, and Vanilla Ice Cream, and yes it’s every bit as good as it looks.

Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake

It’s melty, the chocolate and ice cream soaks into the cake making it incredibly moist, and it perfectly balances simple flavors with wonderful textures. Though it is VERY sweet, we could eat 10 of them in one sitting. We’re not joking. It’s THAT good.

Click here to see a FULL review of the meal at Liberty Tree Tavern

Tiramisù Cannoli, Tony’s Town Square

The Tiramisù Cannoli at Tony’s Town Square has a house-made filling with hints of espresso, chocolate, and mascarpone cheese!

Tony’s Town Square

It may sound like a super simple dessert compared to the other items on this list — but sometimes simple is exactly what you need!

Coconut Bar with Pineapple Basil Compote, Jungle Navigation Co., Ltd. Skipper Canteen

Allow us to introduce you to the wonderful Coconut Bar with Pineapple-Basil Compote and Vanilla Cream. This tasty treat is made with a Vanilla Chiffon Cake with Coconut and Lime-White Chocolate Ganache. 

Coconut Bar with Pineapple-Basil Compote and Vanilla Cream

Aside from being a treat for the eyes, it’s a treat for your stomach too! The coconut flavor is delicious (we wish it had even MORE of that flavor!), and it all tastes very real (not artificial).

Click here to see what other items you might not be able to resist at Skipper Canteen!

Cinnamon Roll, Gaston’s Tavern

The Cinnamon Roll at Gaston’s Tavern is iconic and HUGE (totally big enough to share — if you want to that is!). Some might still miss the old cinnamon roll from Main Steet Bakery, but we think Gaston’s is a snack worthy of your love and adoration.

Cinnamon Roll

It can have a bit more of a maple flavoring to it but as long as you’re okay with that, this is a snack we think you’ll be happy to dig into.

LeFou’s Brew, Gaston’s Tavern

While at Gaston’s Tavern, don’t forget to order the tavern’s signature drink — LeFou’s Brew! This drink is made with Frozen Apple Juice with a hint of Toasted Marshmallow and topped with All-Natural Passion Fruit-Mango Foam.

Le Fou’s Brew

It has a few different and unique flavors mixed in there, and depending on your taste buds it could be a big hit or a miss.

Citrus Swirl, Sunshine Tree Terrace

Need another cool treat to beat the heat? Grab a Citrus Swirl! Though this beauty is located just a few hops away from its cousin, the DOLE Whip, it often gets overlooked and we simply cannot stand for that any longer.

Citrus Swirl is BACK

Made with an Orange “Slush” (a.k.a. Frozen Orange Juice and Vanilla Soft-Serve, this is a cool, refreshing, tart and sweet, creamy, and fruity treat. It’s got it ALL.

Nutella Fruit Waffle, Sleepy Hollow Refreshments

If you love waffles, fruit, and hazelnut/chocolate spread, the treat you NEED is in Magic Kingdom. The Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich (a.k.a. Nutella waffle sandwich) is ridiculously good! This snack comes with a large waffle that has been filled with strawberries, bananas, blueberries, and chocolate hazelnut spread. There’s fruit in there so it’s totally healthy, right??

Fresh Fruit Sandwich

It can sometimes be a bit too big to eat as a true sandwich, so you’ll want to grab a fork and knife (and an extra plate) to help deconstruct this beast! You could even cut it up and make it a Nutella waffle pizza! No matter how or when you eat it, we have a feeling it’ll leave you satisfied.

Churros

Okay, Disneyland fans, do NOT come at us. Yes, we know the Disneyland churros have a cult-like following and according to many fans, the Disney World ones do not even come CLOSE. But hey, you make do with what you’ve got right? And even though some may not consider them to be the superior option, a warm, Disney World churro can hit the spot sometimes!

Churros

The key here is to also look for specialty churros. While not all of them are hitssometimes the unique toppings can really take those churros to the next level! Don’t love chomping down on a full-size churro? Grab some mini (or “nugget”) churros from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn and Cafe.

Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar

Finally, we come to a classic. You didn’t think we’d make this list and NOT include a Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar, did you?! Is it basic? Sure. Is it really just a vanilla ice cream snack covered in a chocolate coating? Yes. But is it delicious? Absolutely! And it very well may be one of the most iconic Disney World snacks.

Mickey Premium Bar

You’ll find these at a variety of snack stands throughout the park, but if you want to make sure you get the perfect photo, be sure to run over to the Castle to snapshots all of your friends will instantly be jealous of!

EPCOT

School Bread, Kringla Bakeri og Kafe

We’re talking about the CLASSIC School Bread. This is a Fluffy Sweet Roll filled with Custard and dipped in Coconut, and although it sounds simple, it’s a beautifully done dessert that makes us smile every time we indulge in it.

School Bread

Can’t get to Disney World to grab it? You can always make School Bread at home!

Salted Caramel Gingerbread Cookie, Karamell-Kuche

The Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich is made of two soft gingerbread cookies with a buttercream frosting center and salted caramel drizzle.

YUM

This cookie was once only offered seasonally, but it’s since been added to the permanent menu for Karamel-Kuche, which means we can enjoy it any time we want.

Make the Gingerbread Salted Caramel Buttercream Cookie Sandwich at home

Butter Bar, Karamell-Kuche

We’re going to STAY in Germany a little while longer and continue smelling the wonderful scents at Karamell-Kuche. This time, we’re grabbing the Werthers Original Caramel Butter BarIt’s a delicious buttery shortbread with caramel, and it is DELICIOUS.

Caramel Butter Bar

You can also get this dessert in other parks now: we’ve seen it at Disney Springs, at Animal Kingdom, and even at Magic Kingdom, too!

See where we found the Caramel Butter Bar in Animal Kingdom

Pretzel Bread Pudding, Sommerfest

Before we leave Germany, we’re also going to pop on over to Sommerfest and grab a relatively new dessert, the Pretzel Bread Pudding. It’s made with leftover pretzels and topped with caramel butterscotch and a white cream sauce. This treat is both tasty AND unique!

Yum!

Warning: This is a very DENSE bread pudding, but it also really packs a lot of great caramel and cinnamon flavor.

Croque Glaces, L’Artisan des Glaces

Next up, take a trip over to France and visit L’Artisan des Glaces. Here, you’ll want to get the Croque Glacé, which is your choice of ice cream and sauce pressed into a warm homemade brioche.

Croque Glace

It’s an ice cream sandwich that’s both warm and cold, and it is EXQUISITE. The best part is that you can customize the flavors inside the brioche to make the ice cream creation of your dreams.

See a Review of the Croque Glaces Here

Ice Cream Martini, L’Artisan des Glaces

L’Artisan des Glaces also makes an AMAZING Ice Cream Martini. You can choose two scoops of your favorite ice cream flavor, and get it served with a shot of Grand Marnier, and either Whipped Cream Vodka or Rum. YUM!

Pina Colada Ice Cream Martini

It’s a boozy drink AND dessert rolled all into one.

Learn how to make a Gingerbread Ice Cream Martini

Macaron, L’Artisan des Glaces

But wait! Before you leave this little ice cream shop, there’s one more dessert you’ll want to try here. It’s the Macaron. Now, we’re sure you’re familiar with the traditional French macaron. Well, here, you can get a gigantic macaron…stuffed with ice cream.

Macarons

The usual flavor is Chocolate, but there are also some seasonal flavors you can get (we especially love Pumpkin!)

See Our Review of the Macaron Here

Kakigōri, Kabuki Cafe

Head on over to Japan’s Kabuki Cafe to get a Shaved Ice done Japan style. A Kakigōri is a traditional Japanese Shaved Ice, and you can get it in a variety of flavors, including Rainbow, Strawberry, Melon, Cherry, Tangerine, or Blue Raspberry.

Perfect on a hot day in Disney World

You can also get a Kakigōri with Sweet Milk Topping if you want an extra bit of sweetness to your shaved ice.

Learn more about what you can get at Kabuki Cafe

Baklava, Morocco

In Morocco, you can get the best dessert here in TWO locations. The Pistachio Baklava can be found at Oasis Sweets & Sips. It’s so light, flaky, and buttery with just the right amount of sweetness.

Baklava

You can also get a regular Baklava at Spice Road Table — that one is drizzled with chocolate.

Read Our review of Spice Road Table

Caramel Turtle Brownie, Sunshine Seasons

Okay, it’s finally time to head OUT of World Showcase and into the rest of EPCOT. We’re going to head on over to Sunshine Seasons and pick up the Turtle Brownie. It’s a dense chocolate brownie, topped with caramel covered in chocolate frosting, pecans, and chocolate chips.

Turtle Brownie from Sunshine Seasons in EPCOT!

This brownie is chock full of flavor: chocolate, caramel, and pecans! We’re not always fans of the brownies in Disney World, but this one is a real winner!

Read our review of the Turtle Brownie

Liege Waffle, Connections Eatery

A Liège Waffle isn’t an ordinary waffle — it’s a waffle made with a yeast-based Brioche dough with pearls of thick sugar on the outside that caramelize when the waffle cooks. So you get a snack that’s buttery, chewy, and soft on the inside, but crunchy on the outside.

Fall Liege

Now, the waffle at Connections Cafe is a regular Liège Waffle, while the one at Connections Cafe & Eatery is topped with Strawberries, Whipped Cream, and Chocolate Sauce. Both are AMAZING.

Hollywood Studios

Carrot Cake Cookie, Trolley Car Cafe

This dessert is a favorite of ours for a reason! It used to reside at Writer’s Stop (which unfortunately is not a thing anymore) and now can be found at Trolley Car Cafe. It leaves us each year to make way for the Holiday Red Velvet Whoopie Pie, but the reunion after the holidays is truly bliss.

Carrot Cake Cookie

This dessert consists of two carrot cake-inspired cookies smooshed together with sweet cream cheese icing. It’s HUGE — but we won’t tell you that you should share. Have it all for yourself —  because trust us, you’ll want to.

Grapefruit Cake, Hollywood Brown Derby

We’ve been loving the Instagram-ready Grapefruit Cake since before Instagram was even a thing. Seriously. This iconic cake is inspired by the actual Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant on Vine Street, which was frequented often by celebrities such as Lucille Ball, Clarke Gable, and Mary Pickford.

10/10

This vanilla-sponge cake is layered with tons of cream cheese frosting and of course — grapefruit syrup. You can grab a slice of this iconic dessert by snagging a reservation or sitting at the Lounge.

See Our Grapefruit Cake Review Here

Tiramisu, Mama Melrose’s Ristorante

We won’t even sugarcoat it. This is the star of the menu at Mama Melrose’s Ristorante. You can get this delicious slice of layered Marscapone and Espresso-soaked Lady Fingers, all topped with cocoa powder and whipped cream. 

Tiramisu from Mama Melrose’s Ristorante

This dessert is super creamy, and the coffee flavor is prominent without being overwhelming. The serving size is pretty large, so it’s perfect to keep all to yourself. É molto bene. 🤌🏼

Seasonal over-the-top shake, Hollywood Scoops

Hollywood Scoops is home to one of our all-time favorite Disney desserts. It changes seasonally, but we can confirm that it tastes just as good each season. We’ve seen Key Lime Pie Shake, a Candy Corn Shake, a Candy Cane Shake, and more.

Tiana Mardi Gras Milkshake

These shakes have a thick, creamy milkshake base and are topped based on the theming of the drink. The best part? Each milkshake comes with a cake doughnut on top. Yep, we told you. Dessert of our dreams.

Lunch Box Tart, Woody’s Lunchbox

This fan-favorite snack is basically a fancy PopTartYou can grab the Raspberry or Lemon-Blueberry Lunch Box Tarts year-round from Woody’s Lunchbox, but seasonal flavors pop up, too.

Lunch box tart

We’ve seen Peanut Butter Banana Lunch Box TartsHot Chocolate Lunch Box Tarts, and most recently, a Sweet Potato Lunch Box Tart!

Wookiee Cookie, Backlot Express

The Wookiee Cookie is like a giant Oatmeal Cream Pie — but themed to Star Wars, of course! You can get this treat from Backlot Express.

Disney World Wookiee Cookie

This treat consists of two thick oatmeal cookies with fluffy cream filling. Plus, there’s a small chocolate garnish on top that looks like Chewbacca’s belt! This cookie is MASSIVE, but can surprisingly be scarfed down pretty fast by one person.

Enchanted Rose, Catalina Eddie’s

The Enchanted Rose is a Beauty and the Beast-themed treat that has Dark Chocolate Mousse with a taste of Blackcurrant and Morella Cherry-Chocolate Shortbread Cookie with Whipped Cookies ’n Cream Fluff and gilded Chocolate-covered Cocoa Nibs.

Call your dentist after you eat this!

The mousse is smooth and rich, and the flavor of cherries is very prominent throughout. If you love dark chocolate and cherries, this is the dessert for you.

See Our Enchanted Rose Review Here

Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie, Neighborhood Market

This giant chocolate chunk cookie does NOT disappoint. You can also get them at Pixar Pier in California! At the Market in Hollywood Studios, however, these are both delicious and humongous.

SO good.

These chocolate chunk cookies are rich, decadent, and served warm. What can we say? Ya can’t go wrong with the classics.

Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake, Trolley Car Cafe

Otherwise known as the “Butterfinger Cupcake,” this is a chocolate cupcake topped with peanut butter buttercream frosting and topped with a candy peanut butter shell.

Peanut Butter Crunch Cupcake from Disney’s Hollywood Studios

You know, that crunchy stuff in a Butterfinger that gets stuck in your teeth but is SO delicious that it’s worth it? That’s basically what this is — and yes, you do need to try it.

See Our Reviews of the Best Desserts in Hollywood Studios HERE

Animal Kingdom

Simba Sunset DOLE Whip, Tamu Tamu

Of course, it wouldn’t be a dessert list without a DOLE Whip right?! The Simba’s Sunset Dole Whip features pineapple Dole Whip topped with a red syrup flavored with strawberry, watermelon, and coconut. You’ll find it at Tamu Tamu Refreshments!

Simba Sunset

It’s a BIG size for a Dole Whip, and it’s delicious too. You can also get it with rum added by ordering the King’s Cooler!

See Our Review of the Simba Sunset Here

Fried Cream Cheese Wontons, Yak & Yeti

If you’re after something a bit more savory, you’ll want to head to Yak & Yeti. This table-service spot serves up all kinds of Asian fare, but for dessert, you won’t want to miss the Fried Cream Cheese Wontons. These are made with Cream Cheese Wontons and Fresh Pineapple — on skewers!

A win!

And it’s served with Vanilla Ice Cream and a Honey-Vanilla Drizzle. PLUS strawberries! Okay, we’ll stop making you hungry now.

Check Out Our Full Review of the Fried Wontons Here

Mini Mango Pie, Yak & Yeti Local Foods

This next dessert is a classic favorite here at DFB — the Mini Mango Pie! You’ll find it at Yak & Yeti Local Foods Cafe (and maybe your local grocery store, too!) and it is tangy and delicious.

Mini Mango Pie

That thick graham cracker crust could not be better. It’s got just the right amount of saltiness from the butter that’s holding the crumbs together and sweetness from the incorporated sugar. It’s just dynamite! Crust heaven! But fair warning, this item is known to disappear and reappear on the menu depending on availability — so keep that in mind on your next trip!

Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse, Satu’li Canteen

Mango not your thing? No problem — the Blueberry Cream Cheese Mousse from Satu’li Canteen might do the trick instead! It’s topped with passion fruit curd and is the perfect combination of tart and sweet.

Dessert or a work of art?

Seriously, don’t let the alien-like nature of this snack fool you — it’s definitely worth a try especially if you’re not a fan of overly sweet desserts.

See Our Review of the Mousse Here

Tiger Tail, Isle of Java

The Tiger Tail is Animal Kingdom’s answer to the popular Cheshire Cat Tail over at Cheshire Café in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland. It takes your regular chocolate twist and adds some colorful icing to reflect the cat in tribute. In this case, added orange icing makes up the Tiger Tail!

Tiger Tail

Just like the Cheshire Cat Tail, the Tiger Tail is a chocolate lover’s treat, as the buttery, light, and flaky pastry twist is positively packed with chocolate bits in addition to the chocolate icing on top.

Pongu Lumpia, Pongu Pongu

The next treat on our list is a bit of a controversial one for our team. The Pongu Lumpia at Pongu Pongu is a simple Pineapple Cream Cheese Spring Roll, and fans (it’s us, we’re fans) sure do love it!

Lumpia

This is actually a pretty divisive snack — some love the sweet creamy combo, others not so much. See for yourself on your next trip!

See More Pongu Lumpia Reviews Here

Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich, Dino-Bite Snacks

This unassuming little snack cart actually serves up one of our favorite Animal Kingdom snacks! At Dino-Bite Snacks, you’ll find a delightful Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich. Not only is the original version delicious, but depending on when you visit you might be able to snag a specialty or limited-time treat.

YUM

We’ve seen Valentine’s DaySt. Patrick’s Day, and other versions like one for Disney World’s 50th Anniversary!

The Lion King, Tiffins

Last but not least is the king of all desserts — The Lion Kingthat is. Over at Tiffins, you’ll need to snag a reservation if you want to check this treat out, but trust us — it’s worth it. The Lion King consists of Caramel Mousse, Chocolate Brownie, and Strawberry-Mango Sauce.

Look at this beauty!

This dessert has a LOT going on, but the fun flavors work together nicely. It’s on the rich side though, so you could easily share it with someone else OR just go in for dessert and have it to yourself!

Disney Springs and Disney World Hotels

Bombolato, Vivoli il Gelato

Picture this: a warm Italian donut filled with gelato and your choice of sauce. That gets an automatic “yes” from us! We’ve tried various flavors of this special treat, as well as their specials, like a Mocha Caramel Bombolato, a Nutella Tiramisu Bombolato, and a Strawberry Shortcake Bombolato.

YUM

Seriously — it’s hard to go wrong when mixing warm donuts and tasty gelato. 

Cookies & Hot Cookie Hour, Gideon’s Bakehouse

Fully loaded, uniquely-flavored cookies that are almost half a pound! It’s no wonder why these cookies are one of the best desserts you can find in Disney Springs! This location is one of the many in Disney Springs that offer rotating menus, which means you can try a new flavor every time you visit (depending on how often you visit, of course — we’re not judging)!

We LOVE Gideon’s

We can’t forget Hot Cookie Hour! Between 2-3PM and 7-8PM each day, you can grab a Classic Chocolate Chip Cookie that’s served with Gideon’s Homemade Ice Cream! YUM! 

Ice Cream, Salt & Straw

Looking for Ice Cream that will take you on a wild journey? Well, that’s what the owners of Salt & Straw intend to do, as they view Ice Cream as a platform for storytelling!

Toasted Oak Milk & Cookies from Salt & Straw

These scoops tell your taste buds quite the story, with flavors like Saffron & Honey (with real, crystallized flower petals), Rhubarb Crumbles with Toasted AnisePistachio Rose Water with Strawberry Mochi, and…wait for it…Salted Caramel Thanksgiving Turkey (crispy roasted turkey skin added to a candy brittle and salted caramel ice cream).

Waffle Sundaes, Marketplace Snacks

We love a good ice cream cone, but imagine replacing your cone with a waffle! That’s what Market Place Snacks does! We’ve tried Sundaes themed after Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, Donald, and Pluto, which all had waffles, soft-serve, and various toppings.

YUM

They’re super refreshing (which is perfect for the Florida heat)and bring a little sweetness to your day!

Hummingbird Cake, Homecomin’

You may think of Southern, savory eats when it comes to Homecomin’, but one of our favorite items on the menu is actually a dessert (not an uncommon scenario to find ourselves in, to be honest).

Hummingbird Cake

Homecomin’s signature Hummingbird Cake is a pineapple-banana cake with cream cheese frosting, finished off with a seasonal fruit gastrique and a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream for good measure!

Make the Hummingbird Cake at Home With This Recipe!

Shine Cake, Homecomin

There’s another cake at Homecomin’ that makes our list — Shine Cake! But caution — this dessert is for adults only! It’s a lemon poppyseed butter cake soaked with lemon-infused moonshine syrup, served with a blueberry compote and scoop of vanilla bean ice cream!

Shine Cake

So save room for cake when you visit Homecomin’. You can’t go wrong with either cake option we’ve mentioned!

Check Out Our Review of Homecomin’

Ger’s Bread Pudding, Raglan Road

Ger’s Bread Pudding over at Raglan Road is also another great addition to any meal! It’s a layered, golden bread pudding flanked by caramel sauce and vanilla creme anglaise, and it is so dang good.

Ger’s Bread and Butter Pudding

We recommend using alllll of both of those luscious sauces for the ultimate rich finish. Pour it on!

Check Out Our Latest Review for Raglan Road!

Orange Blossom Pie, Polite Pig

The Orange Blossom Pie at The Polite Pig is definitely a DFB favorite! It’s packed with citrus flavorsThis lighter dessert is a refreshing end to a barbecue meal at this Disney Springs restaurant.

Orange Blossom Pie

And a little pro-tip for our readers over the age of 21 — it pairs really well with their Grapefruit Margarita!

Mickey Mousse, Amorette’s Patisserie

Amorette’s Patisserie has tons of pastries, cakes, and champagnes to choose from! It can honestly get overwhelming (and expensive), so we want to mention our absolute favorite iconic treat — the Mickey Mousse!

Mickey Mousse

It’s a Chocolate Chiffon Cake with Dark Chocolate and White Chocolate Mousse. We love a good Mickey-shaped snack (and this one is super tasty), so the Mickey Mousse definitely had to appear on our list!

Midnight Reverie Sundae, Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop

There are a ton of Sundae options over at Ghirardelli Soda Fountain & Chocolate Shop, but one of our favorites is the Midnight Reverie Sundae! It’s a Dark Chocolate Sundae with Dark Chocolate Hot Fudge, Mini Chocolate Chips, and Whipped Cream. It also has a 72% Dark Chocolate Square!

Ghirardelli Midnight Reverie Sundae

It tastes like a brownie in ice cream form, even though there’s no brownie in it. Chocolate lovers will adore this one!

Gelato, Vivoli il Gelato

We told you we’d mention the Gelato at Vivoli il Gelato! Their Gelato is rich and creamy, and they have a wide variety of unique flavors! We’ve tried Rice PuddingPistachioBacio (Chocolate Hazelnut)and more! One scoop costs $7.50 and two scoops are $8.75!

A scoop of gelato!

It’s another great refreshing treat that you can find in Disney Springs!

DOLE Whip Flight, Swirls on the Water

Okay, most of us have tried a DOLE Whip. But have you ever tried a Dole Whip…flight?! Swirls on the Water provides fun and unique takes on the classic Pineapple DOLE Whip, and you can try various flavors in a flight! We’ve tried flavors like Habanero LimePineapple and Vanilla Swirl, and Cookie Dough and Lemon Swirl!

Dole Whip Flight at Swirls on the Water

This is a great option for adventurous eaters! The flight is currently $6.49!

Check Out Our Review of the Dole Whip Flight!

Create Your Own Treat, Goofy’s Candy Co.

We’re finishing off with a treat you’re going to love. No seriously — this treat is created by you, for you! All you do is fill out a card with exactly what you’re looking for!

Take a bite!

Choose between treats like a caramel apple or a Mickey Rice Krispie treat, then pick which dipping flavor you want (white chocolate or milk chocolate), and then you can choose your toppings!
