TURKEY LEGS
Available at every theme park, these must come from 85-pound tur-
keys because they're huge, not to mention extra-juicy and
flavorful. Grab some napkins
and go primal on one of these bad boys, and
don't worry about the stares you might at-
tract—they're all just jealous.

TIE-DYED CHEESECAKE at Disney's Pop Century Resort
A colorful and deli-
cious treat. Part red-velvet cake and part cheesecake, the dessert is so popular that many
discussion boards offer recipes such as this one:

LES HALLES BOULANGERIE PATISSERIE at the France Pavilion, Epcot World
Showcase
There are simply no words to adequately describe the pastries at this revamped
bakery. Try the frangipane or the Napoleon. Oh, did we mention the apple tart, the crème
brûlée, and the chocolate mousse?

CADBURY CHOCOLATE BARS at the United Kingdom Pavilion, Epcot World
Showcase
If you've never had a genuine English Cadbury bar, you just don't know what
you're missing.
5.
MILKSHAKES from Beaches & Cream at the Beach Club Resort
Hand-dipped,
thick, and creamy. When was the last time you sported a milkshake mustache? For large
crowds, or large appetites, try the Kitchen Sink: a huge sundae consisting of mountains of
ice cream and toppings that is actually
served in a kitchen sink.
4.
SELMA'S COOKIES at the BoardWalk
Oddly enough, these are available
at the
candy store, Seashore Sweets, rather than at the BoardWalk Bakery
(go figure), but they're
worth tracking down for their rich, buttery, homemade
taste.

GHIRARDELLI SODA FOUNTAIN AND CHOCOLATE Shop at Downtown Dis-
ney Marketplace
Everything is good, and the atmosphere has a sophisticated ice-cream-
shop-plus-coffee-bar vibe.
Very
San Fran.
2.
ZEBRA DOMES at Animal Kingdom Lodge
Offered as a dessert on the Boma buffet,
they're also available at the Mara food court, on the lower level of the resort near the pool.
They consist of a layer of sponge cake topped
with chocolate mousse, and then covered in
white- and dark-chocolate
ganache stripes. Fun and yum rolled into one!
And the number-one snack at Walt Disney World is …

Two words: DOLE WHIP!
Available in Adventureland at the Magic
Kingdom, a Dole
Whip is a soft-serve pineapple-ice-cream dream.
(PS: Bob has a favorite snack, too. Keep reading to find it!)
