One of the things I miss the most when I come home from a Disney World vacation is the food. I’ve pulled together some of the best Disney recipes to make when I am feeling those Disney blues. These are in no particular order because it’s impossible for me to choose a favorite.
Dole Whip
When you think of Disney World snacks it’s hard not to think about Dole Whip. There is nothing quite like a refreshing Dole Whip treat on a hot day in Magic Kingdom. I also love to visit Pineapple Lanai when visiting the Polynesian Resort. This copycat recipe comes pretty close when you are craving a pineapple treat.

Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tots
These loaded buffalo chicken tots from Friar’s Nook are one of my favorite snacks in Magic Kingdom. They are also really easy to recreate at home. I like to make these if we are having people over to watch football, or for family game night. They are always a big hit. If you’re not a fan of bleu cheese try using shredded cheddar instead.

The “Grey Stuff”
The “Grey Stuff” from Be our Guest is another hit with the kids in our house. It’s basically a cookies and cream flavored mousse. This makes a great dessert for a Beauty and the Beast- themed movie night.

Frozen Violet Lemonade
One of the most popular treats at Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival is the Frozen Violet lemonade. This serves as a fancy and refreshing drink for a summer celebration.

Magic Cookie Bars
This is a less well-known treat at Disney World, but they are so good. They are similar to a seven-layer bar or a kitchen sink bar with chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and coconut. You can find them at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Beignets
There are few things more delicious than a Mickey Beignet from Port Orlean’s French Quarter. These special occasion treats would be perfect for a Princess and the Frog movie night at home.

Carrot Cake Cookie
There are two things that I love about the Carrot Cake Cookie. Number one is the cream cheese frosting. The other is that my kids associate it with vegetables so I don’t have to share. This was originally found at the old Writer’s Stop at Hollywood Studios. Now you can usually find them at the Trolley Car Cafe.

Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookies
Another amazing Disney cookie on the list. If you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies you will love this one. It’s a deep-dish chocolate chip cookie with chunks of chocolate. They are extra delicious if you have them served warm.

Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake
This cake is served at the Liberty Tree Tavern in Magic Kingdom. If you’ve never visited Liberty Tree, it’s one of the best table service restaurants in Magic Kingdom in my opinion. It’s also a great choice for picky eaters. They offer traditional foods like turkey, mashed potatoes, and stuffing. This cake is rich and delicious topped with ice cream. It’s nice to have at home in cooler temperatures rather than in the Florida heat.

Wookie Cookie
In case you have never had the pleasure of enjoying a Wookie Cookie in Hollywood Studios, they are like giant oatmeal cream pie cookies. This recipe makes them a little smaller, which is perfect.
