I have often heard that Disney served up some of the best cuisine around. This book proves that it is true. This book has a wide variety of recipes anything from simple to complex, and american to a vast amount of ethnic dishes. Recipes are easy to follow, and turn out well. If you want to bring the taste of Disney home, or impress your family this is the way to go.

Been to almost every restaurante in Disney resorts, and the recipes I have prepared are identical in taste.

Although I have visited both Disney Theme areas on both sides of the country I have never eaten at the many restaurants, my food experience has been like many of us who just grabbed a quick hamburger and fries while on our way to the next ride. However, when I recieved this book as a gift I was pleasantly surprised. The recipes were easy to follow and came out tasting great. Now I only wish that I could go back the parks and the resorts to taste the food first hand, so I know what else I could make out of the book. Whomever gets this book I am sure they will enjoy it just as much as my family and I have.

Ok I purchased this cookbook for one recipe and that was the Green Bean recipe but ended up loving the entire cookbook. It is the same cookbook at the "Cooking With Mickey II" so don't but both of them, they are the same page per page, word for word. I found out the hard way.

You will find quite a few recipes from the Grand Floridian and if you have ever eaten there you know everything is excellent. Several of the restaurants they feature are no longer around like the ones from the Disney Village now deemed the Disney Market Place so you are able to recapture a taste that is no longer around.

Even King Stephens Banquet Hall has a few recipes and we all know that is now Cinderella's dining room now. It is a good book with tons of delicious and savory food. The deserts will make you go wild.

I would recommend this book for people who can't cook and people who can. They are all simple and easy to prepare. Most are made with simple ingredients you have readily available in your kitchen, so no running to the store for something weird or special.

If you are as big a disney park freak as I am, you love to eat your way through them! This fantastic book may be a few years old, but all the recipies are fantastic! Make sure and try the Chichen & Leek Pie from Great Britain in EPCOT!!!

I have been to both Disneyland and Disneyworld extensively, but I haven't tried half the foods in this book at their resorts. With that said, the recipes are absolutely scrumptious.

This book is worth it for the Top of the World Pancakes and their chocolate chip cookie recipe alone!

Okay, so "gourmet" may be a bit of a stretch but `Mickey's Gourmet Cookbook" does hold some very, very good recipes, and it's a must for Disneyana collectors and fans of Disney period.

The over 350 recipes include beverages, breads, appetizers, salads, entrees, desserts and sauces. There's a Shogun dinner from EPCOT Center sparked with ginger and mustard sauces.

Chocaholics will relish the Chocolate Amaretto Mousse from the Disneyland Hotel. Apropos from Disney's Caribbean Resort are crunchy Caribbean Sand Bars filled with nuts and chocolate chips.

If your kids are picky eaters - try dishing up some Disney and see what happens.

My daughter had an earlier version from a visit to Disney World in the 1990's, however over the years of moving cross-country several times it was misplaced. So when I found it on Amazon I was so excited. It was a birthday gift that she was so happy to receive and it had all of the old recipes that she remembered making for her friends when she was in college. We made her day!
