Below is the Mickey Purple Sweet Potato Macaron a red macaron filled with purple sweet potato buttercream with Creme Fraiche center at the Red Dragon Spice Traders marketplace.  And the Dancing Firecracker drink.  It was spicy, but I loved the flavor combinations.

Then we also tried the Mickey Chinese hot dog bun and I was not a fan, but I don’t like hot dogs.  The garlic noodles were delicious and the spicy noodles were too spicy for me.  The best thing I tried was the Beef Bulgogi Short Rib from Lucky 8 Lantern.

Tour Guide

Hello and welcome to my page where I share tips, information, strategies, news, events and more mainly about the Disneyland Resort. Growing up my grandparents owned a travel agency. I watched my grandmother plan and lead tours all over the world. Between her and my mother, I learned the importance of planning before you go on a trip to make the most out of your time. While my main focus is Disneyland you’ll find info about other Disney parks and Disney cruises too!
If you’re overwhelmed or need help planning your trip I offer customized touring plans.
