Disney Springs is the perfect place to find sweet treats this summer. Its newest addition, Salt & Straw, is already a hot spot, but starting today, May 17, 2022, Marketplace Snacks is serving up a sweet selection of Mickey and Friends Bubble Waffles – which, of course, are Mickey-shaped.

This summer, Tony’s Town Square Restaurant in Magic Kingdom has a few new dishes, including Tony’s garlic bread, a Toy Box tomato salad, oven-roasted shrimp scampi, Butcher’s steak, orecchiette with spicy Italian sausage, and penne with chicken al forno. And there’s no better way to finish the meal than with the new Tiramisù cannoli, Italian strawberry shortcake, Tony’s spumoni tart, or the Mandarincello custard.

The Walt Disney World resorts are also in on the delicious summer fun, including two new plant-based offerings, the Mickey-shaped frittata with tomato, spinach, onions, and “mozzarella” served with potatoes and mixed fruit, and the Impossible burger topped with Carolina-style barbecued jackfruit, pickled slaw, and “cheddar,” served with fries.
