I notice that you don’t say anything about snacks such as funnel cake or the Mickey Ice Cream bars. Both are yummy treats and available: funnel cake at the stand near American Pavilion or on the Boardwalk at the eponymous resort, while the Mickey Ice Cream bars are sold throughout the park. The Japanese department store has many snacks available. Yes, I know you’re talking about desserts, but to me, desserts are similar to snacks. Let’s not forget the Dole Whip, which I’ve yet to sample at MK or at the resort hotels such as the Polynesian. Maybe I’ll get some during my upcoming visit.
