Snacks at Disneyland Paris

One of our favourite things to do in the Disney parks is eating. Walt Disney World has so many good and unique snacks to eat that it is almost a struggle to manage trying all of them. Disneyland Paris is a different story. You would think Disneyland Paris, being in France, would have many delicious pastries and snacks. Unfortunately that is not the case, mjau! At all the different snack bars and shops you always find the same things. Croissants, generic muffins, tiny brownies and cookies that pale in comparison to the luscious cookies at Walt Disney World. Even the apples are completely inadequate to the apples in the US Disney Parks. Long gone are the cute character apples covered in caramel and chocolate with marshmallow Mickey ears. The apples in Disneyland Paris are basically a red apple on a stick, mjau!

Finding good snacks is not always easy. We tried asking the Dormouse for advise but his friends are crazy, mjau!

The quick service restaurants only offer basic options and the quick service restaurants you expect to offer unique snacks are disappointing. We are looking at you Cafe De La Brousse, mjau! We had a sandwich falafel which looked promising. however there was no sauce so the food was dry and the overall flavour was lacking.

Grandpa was disappointed with the falafel sandwich, our butler bought him ice cream after as consolation.

Forest of Enchantment Cupcake

The only place you can really find visually stunning snacks that are unique from the rest of the options in the park is at The Chaparral Theater. There you can find cupcakes inspired by the current show. We ate a cupcake there after watching the Forest of Enchantment show at the theater. The cupcake was cute and tasted average. It is no Sprinkles Cupcakes, mjau!

Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour is our favourite place to buy ice cream at Disneyland Paris!

The saving grace of snacking in Disneyland Paris is Gibson Girl Ice Cream Parlour! They offer different Ben & Jerry Ice Cream flavours and even some really delicious toppings, like Daim crunch. Grandpa loves ice cream so we usually have our butler get us some ice cream and go sit on a park bench at Central Plaza. It is a good way for us to rest our paws while Grandpa is enjoying some ice cream.

Grandpa loves ice cream, mjau!

The poor snacking options at Disneyland Paris also extends to Quick Service and Counter Service restaurants. You can basically find the same options in different restaurants. For example Colonel Hathi's Pizza Outpost has the same menu as Pizzeria Bella Notte. We have not yet had the time to try all the restaurants but we have tried a few. When choosing the restaurant we suggest going by theming and atmosphere as the food is basically on the same level of quality. In the following post we will rank our favourite Counter Service Restaurants at Disneyland Paris. The list will not include restaurants at Disney's Hollywood Studios or Disney Village (mjau, sorry Earl of Sandwich!).

You can just see our disappointment on our cute faces. The falafel was not as good as we had hoped for, mjau!
