Snacks
Pizza Spring Roll
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneyLand; Mickeys Trailer, Toontown
Cost: 350 Yen (£2.40)
What did I think?: If you like pizza (which I love) and you like spring rolls (also love, see a pattern here?) then you'll love this snack. It's larger than a standard spring roll, and it's full of melted cheese and pizza sauce. You would also get this with an egg and shrimp combination, if that floats your boat. I was all for the pizza. If I went back I'd 100% get this again.
Maple Pumpkin Churro
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneyLand; Parkside Wagon, on the entry to Adventureland
Cost: 350 Yen (£2.40)
What did I think?: What combination of warm sugar coated churro, maple syrup and pumkpin flavour could I not enjoy? I got this before I watched the parade and it was a great parade snack. I also kept the packaging and you can still kind of smell the maple goodness on it now! It is worth me noting that the churros change constantly; this was the themed flavour for Halloween (so sadly it isn't available at the moment at least), however the themed churro on sale will always be found at this wagon location. Also another note, I spent 20 minutes queueing for this; themed event food items have long queues; at any time of day!
Popcorn (Curry Popcorn Pictured)
Popcorn is a massive deal at Tokyo Disney Resort, so much so that popcorn carts have their own icons on the park map, each map lists the current available flavours and people spend hours queueing for new popcorn bucket releases (for Mickey90 they released a Steamboat Willie one that sang the theme song!)
Where to find it: Each flavour is only usually available at one cart in the park, Curry Popcorn can only be found in one location in Tokyo DisneySea and that's in front of Arabian Coast (if you come across the bridge from Mermaid Lagoon you'll walk straight past it!)
Cost: 350 Yen (£2.40) for a standard box, 2500 Yen (£17) for a themed popcorn bucket
What did I think?: Curry popcorn is insane, easily one of the best popcorns I've ever had; it was a good curry flavour and was a perfect savoury snack, I'd go back for just this flavour in a heartbeat.
Note: Other flavours that were available in both parks while I was there were: Caramel, Garlic Shrimp, Strawberry, Milk Chocolate, Black Pepper, Salt, BBQ, Honey and finally Soy Sauce!
Mickey Shaped Chicken Nuggets
Where to find them: Tokyo DisneyLand; Tomorrowland Terrace, Tomorrowland (probably in other places too!)
Cost: 330 Yen (£2.30)
What did I think?: A good standard Disney chicken nugget, extra points because they're Mickey shaped and look cute. You can't get these as part of a meal though; they're just a side dish!
Bakery Items
Both Parks have large bakeries that are open throughout the entire day and have a full range of snacks and freshly baked delights. From sandwiches to breads stuffed with curry, there's pretty much something here for everyone; the selection in both parks is a little different so it goes without saying that I had to visit both. Another quick note is that the bakeries are very busy at park opening, lunch time (about noon in Japan), around 5pm and before the parade/ fireworks/ shows. I visited both bakeries in the evening between the evening meal and before the fireworks show, it was pretty much a walk in; they will also package up your snacks if you want to take them out of the park, so perfect for a late evening snack!
Mickey Stuffed Pastry/ Cream Bread (middle image)
Where to find it: Available in both parks (Disneyland; Sweetheart Cafe, World Bazaar and DisneySea; Mamma Biscottis Bakery, Mediterranean Harbour)
Cost: 260 Yen (£1.80)
What did I think?: Pretty much a donut without the glaze, maybe a bit more bread like, stuffed with a creamy vanilla custard. Not too sweet but enough filling for it to not be just bread. I would eat it again but I'd want to try other new items if I get the chance to go back.
Mickey Apple Custard Danish and Chocolate and Walnut Biscotti (far right image)
Where to find them: Danish available in both parks in the bakeries mentioned above, however Biscotti can only be found in DisneySea (Mamma Biscotti's Bakery, Mediterranean Harbour)
Cost: Danish: 330 Yen (£2.30) Biscotti: 200 Yen (£1.40)
What did I think?: A really great Danish pastry, extra thumbs up for the Mickey shape, you could also get this in an orange or cherry variation (or Sausage, Egg or Cheese if you wanted savoury). The Biscotti was also lovely, full of chocolate chips and walnut chunks, both great snacks and I enjoyed them back in my hotel with odd Japanese TV in the background (when in Japan eh?)
Purple Sweet Potato Mousse Cake (far left image)
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Mamma Biscotti's Bakery, Mediterranean Harbour
Cost: 780 Yen including the souvenir plate (£5.40)
What did I think?: I can only imagine you read the name and was horrified with the description given on the menu, this mousse cake was actually really nice, it wasn't too sweet, was very creamy, had a raspberry sauce in the middle and had a vanilla cake base. Both parks launch exclusive bakery items for the themed event, both having a mug dessert (some kind of layered jelly and mousse thing) and a plate dessert, I liked the plate from DisneySea the best so that explains why I ended up with this option. I really enjoyed it and would eat something like this again! The plate is also really great quality, so a great way to get a limited souvenir and a snack all at once!
Meals
Because I wanted to eat as much I could over my three days in the parks I snacked through the days and then had a full counter service meal each evening. There was so many choices to pick from including: Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Italian and American.
Mickey's Glove Meal
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneyLand; Huey Dewey and Louie's Good Time Cafe, Toontown
Cost: 980 Yen (£6.80) for the meal with fries and drink
What did I think?: You'll have to stick with me here but this adorable Mickey glove steamed bun was full of salad, egg mayo mix and hot teriyaki chicken. Sounds weird right? Well weird or not it was really tasty, went well together and was a good sized portion. The bun was soft and not stodgy, the chicken was a boneless thigh (I think) and the fries were crispy. I'd make sure I ate this again on my next visit!
Mozzarella and Tomato Pizza
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Zambini Brothers Ristorante, Mediterranean Harbour
Cost: 670 Yen (£4.60) Drink 350 Yen (£2.40)
What did I think?: A really good, deep dish base with a really thick layer of cheese and tomato, the fresh tomato and pesto was also a really nice addition. I enjoyed this meal so much I actually went back the next night and enjoyed a spaghetti bolognese (700 yen/ £4.85) and a side of fried shrimp and burdock (300 Yen/ £2.05), this would be a great place to visit with kids or people that want a more western meal!
Tokyo Disney Resort is well known for it's heavily themed steamed buns that match their packaging; and I went out of my way to ensure I tried as many as I could, it is worth noting that these items also change with the events going on in the park, so these items in this style aren't always available!
Chandu Chicken Curry Bun
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Sultans Oasis, Arabian Coast
Cost: 500 Yen (£3.50)
What did I think?: This is my favourite of all of the steamed buns I had, both the 'hat' and 'face' had a mild chicken curry filling and it went well with the steamed bun texture. If you can only have one steamed bun while in DisneySea then you should get this one, hopefully it doesn't rain when you're eating it though!
Ursula Ukiwah Bun
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Seaside Snacks, between Cape Cod (American Waterfront) and Port Discovery
Cost: 500 Yen (£3.50)
What did I think?: This special steamed bun was stuffed with a combination of Pork and Shrimp. It was well seasoned and I really enjoyed both the taste and how the ring suited the Ursula packaging. This item was specially themed for Villains Halloween event, so if you were to go at another time of year you'd find the ring looks like a swimming ring and Donald is on the packaging (so cute)!
Evil Queen Gyoza Roll
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Nautilus Galley, Mysterious Island
Cost: 500 Yen (£3.50)
What did I think?: This was the largest of the steamed bun offerings, but not by much. The filling was a kind of soft over seasoned sausage. The theming of this was really fun with the red and black to match the queen of hearts but the flavour and texture wasn't great and I would say it wasn't worth the 15 minute queue to get this item, would I have it again? No, I'd head over to get one of the other two buns mentioned above!
Ice Cream
The temperatures in Tokyo were about 30 degrees in September, so it was perfect weather to enjoy an ice cream treat or two, there were quite a lot to pick from, which of course made the decision even harder!
Donald Butt Sundae (actually called the Choco-Nut and Chocolate Crisp Sundae)
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneyLand; Ice Cream Cones, World Bazaar
Cost: 500 Yen (£3.50)
What did I think?: This adorable snack is part of the Tokyo 35th celebration and includes: Vanilla ice cream with chocco crispies in, two Donald feet wafers and a stick of Chocolate crunch (Rice crispies and chocolate mixed together). If they make this flavour of ice cream permanent after the event ends I'd definitely want a scoop or three of this again!
Mickey and Minnie Ice Lolly
Where to find them: Both parks have a lot of mobile ice cream carts, I found mine in Adventureland in Tokyo DisneyLand and Lost River Delta in Tokyo DisneySea
Cost: 300 Yen (£2.05) each
What did I think?: I really enjoyed both flavours of these lollies, the Mickey one was tropical fruits, so Mango and Pineapple, while the Minnie one was Peach and Raspberry. I'd have them both again as a refreshing snack, however they melt quickly in the heat (obviously!) and the sticks are short, so be prepared to get covered in drips of fruit juice. I'd recommend scoping out your closest toilet and getting a few napkins off the retail assistant when you buy them!
Mochi
Mochi is a kind of sweet in Japan, it's a really stretchy gooey substance (the best way I can describe it!) that is stuffed with a filling of some sort. Both types that you can get in Tokyo Disney Resort are served cold, but not frozen. So they're a perfect snack for a warm day! They're also some of the most instagramed snacks in the parks, especially the little green aliens!
Star Wars Mochi
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneyLand; Pan Galactic Pizza Port, Tomorrowland
Cost: 360 Yen (£2.50)
What did I think?: If I was to compare the two mochi head to head I would pick the Star Wars ones as the winner, the Vader mochi was stuffed with chocolate mousse, and the Storm Troopers were flavoured with vanilla custard and a caramel sauce respectively. At the minute these aren't on the menu, but they will be back in the warmer months (I hope!)
Little Green Alien Mochi
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; a random cart at the bottom of the bridge by Barnacle Bills, American Waterfront (however while writing this, they are available in all the quick service locations in Tokyo Disney Sea, and a few in DisneyLand, around Tomorrowland)
Cost: 360 Yen (£2.50)
What did I think?: The taste and texture of these mochi was exactly the same as the Star Wars ones, however the flavours were: chocolate, vanilla and strawberry (with the strawberry being a kind of yoghurt). I just struggled to find these when I was there, there were no counter service locations that have them, and what from I could gather the cart moved around frequently. I had a 15 queue to pick these up, so if you go at a time when they are hard to find, expect to queue massively for them!
Drinks
I spent most of my time drinking water in the parks, it was cool and refreshing and readily available everywhere, with free cups available in counter service locations. However there were a large range of green, red, blue and purple drinks with a mixture of flavours and popping pearl combinations in them.
Nemo Sea-Rider Drink
Where to find it: Tokyo DisneySea; Bayside Takeout, Port Discovery
Cost: 500 Yen (£3.50)
What did I think?: This was a pineapple juice drink, topped with a blue pineapple slush that had mango boba inside it. Just a bit of a mix there right? The blue pineapple was quite confusing but the taste was amazing and I would happily drink this again to cool off! The queue for this stand was quite long, but it also sold the Nemo churro and a fried chicken sushi roll, it was no more than a 10 minute wait!
Themed Bottled Drinks
Where to find them: All over both parks, I got my coke from the tea pot vending machines in Fantasy Land in DisneyLand however there are carts that sell: water, Coca Cola and Kirin in every land.
Cost: 300 Yen (£2.05)
What did I think?: Every type of drink had its owned themed packaging which was a cute touch and was very in theme with the rest of the park, can't really moan! They were also well priced which is nice!
So that's my tour of Tokyo Disney Resort's food complete! As you can tell I really did snack my way around the parks and I enjoyed that everything was well priced so I could eat what I wanted without being too concerned for the hole in my purse (that just meant more for the incredible merchandise!) Have you been to Tokyo Disney Resort? If so what snacks did you eat? Or what do you have on your list to try if you're heading to the parks?
