Honestly, for me, DLR is about food experiences rather than a couple singular TS restaurants. I have a list of favorite snack and food items that I like to have on trips, and that is my focus rather than picking singular restaurants, which I am more likely to do for a WDW visit. I think you have to approach DLR differently. Since it's a big locals park, a lot of great food items aren't limited to TS meals, which locals are less likely to indulge in. Some of my favorites are Mickey macarons (the raspberry is THE best) and Matterhorn macaroons from Jolly Holiday, a chimichanga, a corn dog from the Little Red Wagon, a apple slushy (available in multiple places), churros, Mickey head sourdough bread, and that's just a start.
And every year I seem to hear about something new that gets added to the list - Apple slushies? Please, go on...
It's called by different names depending on where you get it, but it's just apple juice in slushie form, and I love it. So simple but so great on a warm day. I don't care for the other slushie flavors because they are fake and sugar added, but the apple one is just 100% Minute Maid Apple Juice.
In Toontown, you can get them at the cart by Goofy's house.
The Eidelweiss cart near the Matterhorn has them.
Maurice's has them, but I hate the foam and get it without if I get it there, but I think it's pricier because of the foam if I recall correctly.
The Cozy Cone has them as "Red's Apple Freeze" but again with foam and same on price.
In Bug's Land, you can get the at the cart near Heimlich's train.
There might be other areas, but those are the ones that come to mind.
We love the apple slushies too!I am also not a fan of sugar slushies but love slushie juice, so I will be grabbing one of these for sure. Thanks for the tip - it's added to the list!
Blue Bayou at DL (get reservation for beginning of lunch or dinner seating and ask for waterside - little to no wait since you are first seating), Carthay Circle for DCA. We went to most TS places the year we had an AP and we still went to those two places more than anywhere else.
