It doesn’t matter how many times we visit the Disney Parks or stay at the Disney hotels — we’re always longing to return. Fortunately, there are TONS of essentials and souvenirs available online that can absolutely hold you over until your next visit! From special cookbooks to Mickey-shaped kitchenware, it’s never been easier to turn your kitchen into a Disney-inspired wonderland!
You can replicate famous Disney snacks right at home!
The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbooks Boxed Set comes with three books: The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook, The Unofficial Disney Parks EPCOT Cookbook, and The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook — all by Ashley Craft. These books let you recreate your favorite meals from Disney World and Disneyland, including Mickey Pretzels, DOLE Whip, recipes from the EPCOT pavilions and festivals, and some of our favorite table-service and quick-service meals!
If you’re looking for something more retro, this next cookbook is for you
The Unofficial Disney Parks Retro Cookbook offers more of a blast from the past and takes you on a culinary journey that you thought was no longer possible.

Some recipes include:

- Lamb Chops with Mint Jelly, from Disneyland’s fine dining Red Wagon Inn
