When people think about traveling to the Disney theme parks around the world, the first thing most people think of is the rides. Whether it be Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, or even It's A Small World, there are some amazing attractions for people of all ages. But the reason Disney parks are so popular is that they offer so much more.
Immersing into the stories and worlds of some of the most iconic movies is part of that, and it isn't just themed lands like Galaxy's Edge that provide that. Food is a big way Disney immerses its guests, whether it's with fine dining experiences, or being able to eat some iconic meals from the movies themselves.
Grey Stuff
Try the Grey Stuff, it's delicious, is what Lumiere promises Belle in Beauty and the Beast, during the classic song, "Be Our Guest." It's one of the most iconic lines within one of Disney's biggest movies and the fact that guests can actually sample this food is brilliant.
In Florida at Magic Kingdom, guests are able to dine in the Beasts castle, and one of the dessert options is, of course, the Grey Stuff. It's a popular menu item and one that Disney has put a lot of attention to detail towards this option, and it certainly has paid off.
Ratatouille
Pixar's Ratatouille is a brilliant movie that is centered all around food, and fans have certainly wanted to know what the classic ratatouille dish would taste like. It's a huge part of the movie when it is provided for the critic, and guests at Disneyland Paris can have that same experience at the Chez Remy restaurant.
It's a popular location to dine at, with reservations being required ahead of time, but that highlights just how popular this dish is. Fans all want to try this iconic piece of movie history, and while it takes a little planning to make it happen, the fact that it's always booked up shows people won't be disappointed.
Spaghetti & Meatballs
When it comes to Disney scenes involving food, the spaghetti and meatballs scene from Lady and the Tramp is certainly one of the most well-known. The scene of them kissing is something that people have the chance to recreate if they head to Florida's Magic Kingdom.
It isn't just an ordinary Italian either, as this entire restaurant is themed to the location from the Disney classic. The location can be found on Main Street USA, with Tony's Town Square bringing plenty of excellent flavors, including this classic meal.
Yellow Snow Cones
It's always good advice to not easy yellow snow, that is unless you're at Disney's California Adventure, where it is actually a very good idea. At Pixar Pier, the Adorable Snowman Frosted Treats shop can be found, which brings a sweet treat to anybody who wants it.
Taking inspiration from the famous scene in Monsters, Inc. guests can buy lemon-flavored ice creams to cool down during a hot day. Plus, with the option of melted white chocolate on top, this really is a snack that everyone will want to try.
Gumbo
Princess Tiana is someone who is desperate to open her own restaurant, with her storyline being very heavily influenced by food. One of her signature dishes is gumbo, which she makes with her father, and then continues to make throughout her life.
This is something that visitors to Disneyland in California are able to try out for real in New Orleans Square, which is a prime location for this dish, considering Princess and the Frog is set in New Orleans.
Beignets
Sticking with Princess and the Frog, gumbo isn't the only food that Tiana specializes in making throughout the movie. She is also able to create some delicious-looking beignets, which is another of her real specialties and something that Disney really animated well to look great.
Visitors to Disney World in Florida can enjoy some Mickey Mouse-shaped beignets if they want to, but they have to head to a specific hotel to do so. These are sold at Disney's Port Orleans French Quarter hotel, which is all themed around New Orleans, and for the adults, they can even be injected with different spirits to create a boozy concoction.
Blue/Green Milk
The Galaxy's Edge land at both Disneyland in California and Hollywood Studios in Florida are some of the most heavily themed areas in the history of these theme parks. They have brought the Stars Wars world to life in an enthralling way, and that includes the food and beverages.
One iconic drink that comes from that franchise is the blue milk that Luke Skywalker drinks and guests who enter will have the chance to try it out for themselves. With a blue and green version that has different flavors, there's plenty of options.
Pizza Planet
When it comes to the Toy Story franchise, the Pizza Planet restaurant was certainly a huge part of it, especially since the Pizza Planet truck itself has been seen in so many other movies. It's an iconic part of Pixar's history, and at Disneyland in California, guests have the chance to step inside the legendary location.
While there's plenty of different types of food available, it is the pizzas that really steal the show at this dining location, and for obvious reasons. It's something that people often look to try out at some point during their stay, as a real bucket list item from the park.
The Poisoned Apple
In the original Disney animated movie, Snow White And The Seven Dwarfs food plays a big part in things with an apple being something that ends up poisoning Snow White. It's a very memorable scene, and while people might not be desperate to try that, it is something that can be eaten in Disney World.
Snow White fans can try their own candy apple, themed all around Snow White at Disney Springs in Florida. The Candy Cauldron shop has some amazing selections for people, and this apple is one that many will enjoy. Of course, this version is minus the poison!
Jack-Jack Cookie Num Num
During The Incredibles 2, the powers of Jack-Jack really begin to get out of control, with his father being totally unable to control him. However, he learns the trick that Jack-Jack will respond to a cookie, which becomes a hilarious part of the movie.
It's such a fun element that Disney actually added the cookie num num line to The Incredicoaster at California Adventure. As well as that, guests can get themselves the cookie and a glass of milk from just outside the ride, as well as at Hollywood Studios in Florida.
