Birthday Celebration at Disneyland

Every year we designate a December and January visit to Disneyland for both of our boys’ birthdays. On these particular visits, they get to pick out what rides we hit and get any treats they want…wait, they do that every visit?! HA! My youngest turned 7 this year so we visited the park in late January to celebrate his day. On our way to the park, I like to tweet @disneylandtoday for a fun little birthday shout out that makes my kids’ day.

Hayden is one of the pickiest kids you may ever meet. The only treats he wants from Disneyland are Mickey shaped soft pretzels, Mickey cake pops, hot dogs and macaroni & cheese, all depending on his mood. This particular visit he wanted a Mickey pretzel as soon as we got to the park. Mickey pretzels can be found at Pretzel Carts located all throughout the park. They also sell a side of nacho cheese at an additional cost or cream-cheese filled pretzels. Continue reading

Cozy Cone Motel at Cars Land

I wanted to share some of my favorite snacks from Cozy Cone Motel in Cars Land at Disney California Adventure Park. It is such a fun little spot for a snack pit stop! There are 5 giant cones that offer snacks such as “Route” beer floats, churro bites, pretzel bites, flavored popcorn, soft serve ice cream, and chili “cone” queso. In front of the cones is Sally’s Cozy Cone Motel lobby where you will find Lightening McQueen, Mater and Red from the movie Cars hanging out for photo opportunities.

Back to the snacks, the churro bites cannot be missed. They are served in a classic orange cone and come with a slightly spicy chocolate dipping sauce. We recently tried the Oreo Cookies N Cream churro, which was a chocolate churro filled with cream filling. Yum!

What is fun about the different cones, is they often have special treats they are offering for a limited time, such as the Cookies N Cream churro. At the Chili Cone they have a macaroni and cheese with bacon served in a bread cone. I hope it becomes a permanent snack! Continue reading
