Fellow Disney Fans! It’s time once again for What-If Wednesday! The game show where we use our imagination to answer Disney-specific “What-if” questions. Contestants from Twitter and Facebook go head to head and
compete to invent the most popular answers. Get ready to let your imagination run
wild! And as Drew Carey would say, this is ”the show where everything’s
made up and the points don’t matter.”
What if you could have any one Disney food item delivered to your door? What would it be?
It’s guaranteed – if the “What-if” question involves food, there will be a bunch of participants! This time was no exception but what was surprising is that what I expected and what I got were completely different. I asked the question and the answers were fantastic! Early risers jumped into the game with breakfast foods, others were craving their favorite sweet tooth fix or salty snack selections, and a few were ready for some serious main course action!
So, here are the answers to this week’s round – broken down into three categories: Breakfast foods, Snack Fix, and Meaty Main Course!
Let’s Play!
In the Breakfast Category:
Denise (Facebook) answered simply: “Dole whip for me, Mickey waffles for my son” – I slid this answer into the breakfast category because of the waffles and the fact that anytime of day is the perfect time for a Dole Whip! Denise gets 25 bonus points for thinking of someone else’s stomach instead of just her own!
Curtis Stone (@GeekinOnWDW) “Since it’s morning, I’d like one of those large croissant egg sandwiches I’ve had at Beach Club.” Having never visited the Beach Club, much less had one of those breakfast sandwiches, I can only speculate about their tastiness, but they do sound perfectly delicious. And conveniently portable for a breakfast food!

Andrea Roberts (@andpes13) This time of day I would like the puffed French toast from Crystal Palace…yum! Then Andrea added, “It’s always a great time! We try to go there or Boma for a breakfast every trip :)” Puffed French toast? Seriously – who would not want to try that? It sounds like a little bit of heaven…with the added bonus of getting to hang out with Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore while you’re feasting!
Jeanie (@jeanieblue114) “mickey waffle with fruit. I never seem to make it to breakfast. Still have never had Tonga toast” The Mickey waffle is absolutely a classic – the quintessential Disney breakfast food, but Jeanie knows the truth – they say Tonga Toast is the most amazingly delicious stuff on Disney property – devotees of this menu item from the Polynesian’s Kona Café swear by its perfection….which may explain why it’s been on the menu since 1971!
Snack Fix Section:
Amy (Facebook) “Beignets and a mint julep from New Orlelans Square. Mmmm…” Initially, this started to go under the breakfast category – that’s when I eat my Beignets (with café au lait, of course) – but serving them alongside a mint julep sounded like a rockin’ afternoon snack to me. And, as we say here in Louisiana – Amy’s answer “flung a craving on me!” 50 points to Amy for making me hungry for beignets!
Megan (Facebook) “Port Orleans River Roost lounge had these amazingly awesome pimiento cheese fritters with this delicious red pepper jelly on the side. We ended up having them three or four times during our Disney World trip in January/February and I’ve craved them more frequently than any other snack from Disney World.” I have stayed at Port Orleans and how these incredible-sounding perfect little combos of sweet and salty goodness escaped my notice is nearly unbelievable! Has anyone else tried these? I want them!!!
Ruth (Facebook) “The lemon tart from Raglan Road” – well, Ruth, I love lemon and happen to have myself a little ADR at Raglan Road coming up! Shall I send you a picture? ‘Cause I will certainly be giving the lemon tart a try!!
Niki (Facebook) enthusiastically answered – “SELMAS!!!” Uhmmmm, what? Niki had me stumped…what the heck is a Selma’s? I’m supposed to know all about Disney stuff (I do have my own blog and all) and I’m embarrassed to say I had to Google Niki’s answer. Selma’s is a bakery that makes cookies sold in Disney parks! Ah, okay, so I asked Niki (pretending I knew all along what she was talking about) what kind she wanted and she answered, “At this moment in my life white chocolate raspberry.” So, Niki – 75 points for stumping me and a gift of sorts in return. I found a blog while I was conducting my Selma’s research and they claim to have developed a white chocolate cookie recipe to duplicate your Selma’s favorite: MyBakerLady.com – enjoy!

Heather (Facebook) is absolutely positive, her Disney food delivery would be “cheese empanadas from the Mexico Pavilion.” Why, Heather, do you need those? Heather confessed, “I dream about them. Literally.” Dreamy food? Oh, boy – I am going to have to try those empanadas!!! Great review here at EatingWDW.com I’m putting these babies in the snack section only because they don’t contain meat, disqualifying them from being among the “Meaty Main Courses”.
Disney Dream Girls (@DisDreamGirls) – The reply was simply a picture of a certain popular frozen treat and…. “need I say more?” #dolewhip #polynesianresort #delish
The WDW Blog (@theWDWblog) “hmmm right now I would have to say the kitchen sink from Beaches & Cream I’ve got a sweet tooth atm :)” I don’t know if you’ve ever SEEN the monstrosity that is the Kitchen Sink – mother of all ice cream sundaes, but that baby is humongous! I asked WDW Blog if they knew how much one weighed and the answer was, “Oh geez I have no idea at least 5 pounds lol (that’s without the bowl counting) lol” I assure you – that is no joke!
Rebecca (Facebook) didn’t want to get left out of this week’s round! She said, “Am I too late? Right now I’m thinking Butterfinger cupcake, because that might be the only way I could get it any time soon. :D” I’ve written an entire post on craving this particular sweet treat and I applaud Rebecca’s choice. The Butterfinger cupcake (available 
at Disney’s Hollywood Studios) would satisfy hunger as a breakfast, dessert, or late night snack. Excellent answer!
Dennis (@oakmanner) “Jalapeño cheese stuffed pretzel!” Okay, Dennis – haven’t had one, but I have heard they’re good. I want mine with a cold, dark beer to wash it down. Mmmmmm.
Meaty Main Course Cravings:
Kelley (Facebook) “Filet from LeCellier! I would say Dole Whip float, but I’ve just about mastered that recipe.” First – I LOVE the filet at Le Cellier – say what you want about the price or the difficulties one often encounters trying to score an ADR to eat at this table service restaurant in Epcot’s Canada pavilion – the steaks are excellent! Second, yes, of course I asked Kelley for her Dole Whip recipe and here it is:
- Ok, here’s the recipe I use for my small ice cream maker: Mix 2 cups Dole pineapple juice and 1 cup sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add 1 cup heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla, splash of each – lemon juice and lime juice. Add milk to make 4 cups total. Make in ice cream maker, freeze then serve with pineapple juice. YUM!
Teresa (Facebook) “Monte Cristo sandwich!” – Once again, it’s a food item I’ve heard about repeatedly on blogs and podcasts. It seems the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland serves up a version of this battered-and-fried turkey, ham, and cheese sandwich – sprinkled with powdered sugar and served with blackberry preserves on the side- that is to die for. Just in case we want to try this and don’t have a trip to California in our near future, here’s a recipe for it from the Disney Food Blog.
Chris Schenck (@Incage2) “ribs from flame tree!” Now THESE I can recommend! We love Flame Tree Barbeque at the Animal Kingdom park. Great food.

David Hodges (@thedislife) “Does this count as one food item?” – Like the Dream Girls, Dave answered with a picture – all I can say is Holy COW! (they used a whole cow!) – what on Earth? Dave tells me his choice is the “Bacon wrapped meatloaf….. Wolfgang :)” (Wolfgang Puck’s in Downtown Disney) So, I asked Dave how close he came to finishing this meat and potato monstrosity and he answered with another picture! “I licked the plate and had this for dessert :)” People, I believe we have a winner! 1000 points to David Hodges for his appetite!
Thank you ALL for playing! Come back next week and find out the answer to What if……?
