Walt Disney World food favorites

Walt Disney World offers a wide variety of dining experiences throughout its theme parks on resorts, from fast bites to opulent dining and everything in between. While all of the restaurants and eateries have that Disney touch, there are at least two menu items found at the theme parks and water parks that are unique to Disney, namely, the smoked turkey legs and Mickey Mouse premium ice cream bars.

The smoked turkey legs are found at the small vendor booths in various locations throughout the Disney parks. A single smoked turkey leg can easily feed an adult and child--together. By marinating the legs in a salty brine, the dark meat takes on a rich flavor, much like a well cured ham. The turkey legs weigh about 1.5 pounds and Disney sells at least 1 million turkey legs per year. Although you can walk through the park enjoying your very own turkey, sometimes it's best to tackle the oversized piece of poultry sitting down.

The Mickey Mouse premium ice cream bars (or "Mickey bars" as they are described by the children who search them out) have creamy vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thick coating of chocolate, much like a Dove bar that can be bought at a local grocery store--except the Disney version has the trademark ears. It's also big enough for an adult and child to share together, although any child with a sweet tooth might not feel like sharing.
