This is a nicely presented cookbook with a good survey of sweet and savory park goodies: from Dole Whip to Bengal Beef Skewers, Juleps to Tiger Tail Breadsticks. Even the Grey Stuff and Blue Milk recipes are in here. There are some photographs of finished images but as an unofficial book, all the food has to be presented very independent of the parks themselves. So although the magic is likely eating the food in the park, this is a great way to spend a Covid isolation weekend conjuring great memories.
The recipes are broken down by park: all 4 Disney Resort Florida (Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, EPCOT) and 2 Disneyland Resort (Disneyland and California Adventure). There is a nice write up about each park and a bit about the recipes and their places in the park. A nice addition is a faux 'park map' that shows where you would find these delights - all suitably drawn in a cartoony style resembling what you would get at the actual parks. Other items such as equipment needed are also given the 'cartoon' treatment in keeping with the theme.
Each page has a nice decorative border theme. The title is in bold gold at the top with a "Did you know? paragraph at the bottom that provides tidbits about the parks or food item. Ingredients are in bold and italics on the left with short numbered steps on the right. There is no nutrition info given (for obvious reasons, ha!), only serving size. Each recipe tells you where it can be found in its respective park. Of note, only parks food is included - not restaurants at resorts such as Sanaa in Animal Kingdom Lodge.
I like that there is a nice selection of old and new - e.g., we get the original Disneyland Fritters recipe even though they have long since been replaced by Double Chocolate Fritters or Berry Cheesecake Fritters. As well, there are seasonal items from e.g., Food and Wine festival that became a staple (e.g., the Croissant Donut). But the real stars in the EPCOT section are the popular World Showcase items such as Caramel Popcorn from the Karamell-Kuche stand and School Bread from Norway (the caramel is made from scratch!). Even new land Galaxy's Edge is represented - Ronto Wraps and colored milks!
The thing you'll need to understand about the book is that you'll need a wide range of kitchen items - from an ice cream maker, ice shaver, ramkins, to Mickey shaped cookie cutters. As well, what is made fairly inexpensively in bulk at the park can be very time consuming for a family-sized portion. But these are all solid recipes that recreate the food (if not always the presentation) of the parks.
In all, because it has such a lovely design despite being unofficial, I feel it would be a great present for a park lover, especially one with children. For all Disney Park fans, it's definitely a must - just include a set of mickey shaped cookie cutters with the book.

Churros
Instructions
1. Line an ungreased baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add water, 3 tablespoons sugar, salt, and 3 tablespoons oil. Stir until mixture reaches a boil, about 4 minutes, then remove from heat.
3. Add flour and stir until combined.
4. Scoop dough into a large piping bag fitted with a large star tip. Let dough cool until you are able to hold the bag comfortably, about 10 minutes.
5. Pipe dough into 6” lines onto prepared baking sheet.
Place sheet into freezer to set 1 hour.
6. In a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat, add remaining 4 cups oil. It should measure to a depth of about 3”. Heat until oil reaches 375°F. Line a large plate with paper towels and set aside.
7. In a medium shallow bowl, combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Set aside.
8. Carefully slide one Churro into hot oil. Flip while frying until golden brown, about 2 minutes total.
9. Remove from oil with tongs and place in bowl with sugar cinnamon mixture. Turn to coat Churro thoroughly, and transfer to lined plate to cool. Repeat with remaining Churros.
Ingredients
- 1 cup room-temperature water
- 3 tablespoons plus ½ cup granulated sugar, divided
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons plus 4 cups vegetable oil, divided

Beautiful high quality Disney cookbook!
By Nicole on November 11, 2020
Beautiful hardcover cookbook with so many yummy Disney recipes from the parks! There is lots of Disney foodie history in it plus recipes that look easy to follow with high quality ingredients. There are fun maps of each of the parks inside where the food is located from which makes it fun. As an avid Disney fan I have never seen a cookbook like this.By Nicole on November 11, 2020

Recipes are way off
By Rosetta Stone on January 30, 2021
This recipes in this book were not tested. I’m not sure if anyone reviewing this book with 5 stars has actually tried the recipe but you can find most of these recipes (or a version of) online elsewhere. 3 out of 3 recipes were off, two majorly off on the dough. The soupy dough was supposed to be the bao pod dough and the flaky dough was supposed to be the pretzel dough. The water to flour ratios were way off. The measurement for one scoop of macaroon dough to form each cookie says 1/2 cup! They are NOT that big in real life. I used 1/4 cup and even that was huge. My macaroons also didn’t have enough structure. I haven’t tried anything else but I’m very reluctant. Disappointed for sure!

By Jason M. Bernhisel on November 10, 2020
This cookbook brings Disney Magic to your kitchen! If you have grown up going to the Disney parks or discovered them as an adult easily one of the greatest aspects is the food. I always wanted that food when I got home and now I can. This book is so comprehensive covering the best dishes organized by park. It is a beautiful book that will bring our family magic for years to come!!!
