Disney is famous for its classic family-friendly films and outrageously popular theme parks, but they might be having a culinary moment, too! The food at Disney World and Disneyland has made the parks even more of a destination, if that’s even possible. From the classic Dole Whip and some enchanted churros to a secret cinnamon roll burger, there’s always something delicious at Disney.
Now you can bring Disney’s magical eats into your family’s kitchen with the brand-new Disney Eats, a web-based cooking channel with shows that encourage “co-cooking.” The idea is to bring together kids with parents and grandparents to cook amazing food and strengthen relationships. It certainly doesn’t hurt that the food is all adorable and inspired by popular Disney characters! The videos look to be released on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook.
