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!

Destination Unknown Part 3

Si and Au in Zagreb! We were happy to finally arrive in Zagreb Croatia. Our butler had filled the Enter Croatia form so we entered the country without hassle. We took the bus from the airport and walked to our new home for the next few days. We stayed in our apartment in Zagreb for three nights. It was a really nice apartment with a small kitchenette. The only downside was that the apartment had a single bed. Mjau, we had to share the bed with our butler so it got a bit crowded. Apartments Lucky Place in Zagreb. It's wonderful to have our own kitchen! It was a breath of fresh air to be in Croatia. The restrictions regarding covid-19 are not as strict here. You still have to wear a facemask inside. Otherwise things are as usual.  Shopping in Zagreb! We mostly walked around town and did some Christmas shopping. We also visited the Museum of Broken Relationships. It is a very interesting and unique museum. People from all over the world donate items related to a broken relationship. A...

First Visit to Shanghai Disneyland

Mjau, our first family photo in front of the castle! Mjau, last December we finally visited Shanghai Disneyland. We wanted to spend Christmas at Hong Kong Disneyland, so it was the perfect opportunity to visit Shanghai Disneyland as well and take advantage of the 144-hour visa free transit rule. Mjau, on our way to Shanghai! Mjau, the elegant Shanghai Disneyland Hotel during the night! After the long flight from Finland to Shanghai we took the Taxi to our hotel, the Shanghai Disneyland Hotel. We were really impressed by the hotel! The hotel had an elegant Art Deco theme. We will tell you more about the hotel in our Shanghai Disneyland Hotel Review! We really liked all the Fantasia details in the café and the lounge. Positively amazing!  Mjau, the view from the hotel is amazing! Across the lake you could see Disneyland, the castle is so big you can easily see it from the hotel. Tomorrowland also looks extra inviting from the hotel in the evenings, wit...

Destination Unknown: Part 1

Bu at Old Town Square in Prague. We had a wonderful start to 2020. We had just visited Shanghai Disneyland for the first time and we celebrated Christmas in Hong Kong Disneyland. We had a wonderful New Year in Taiwan. Our butler had gotten a steady job on the side of being our butler and we got an apartment in Lahti, Finland. However, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Covid-19 arrived.  After being stuck in our apartment for most of the year we had finally had enough. We made the decision to give up the apartment. We packed our biggest suitcase and booked a flight to Prague a few days prior to our departure. Si enjoying lunch at Espresso House. It was an interesting experience being at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. So quiet and empty! Thankfully Espresso House was still open and we got to enjoy a Pumpkin Latte and Chicken-Mozarella Focaccia while making plans for our trip. At Espresso House we booked our first hotel in Prague. Our lovely room 41 at Hotel U Pr...
