Review:

If you're a die-hard Disney fanatic, then you'll probably love this cookbook. if you are looking for certain Disney recipes only, check the index before purchasing as it appears some recipes were included in the description, but not in the actual book. The recipes are very simplistic and easy to make overall. But having ate at Disney a lot, I feel like something is missing from the recipes. They are very close, but not quite the same recipe. So take your own cooking skills into the recipe and you might need to adjust the recipes for 2nd cooking. The recipes all share where in which park they are from and tidbits about the recipe and how it ties in, or about the attraction. As you can see, photos are helpful for newer cooks. Those on special diets will be left guessing re nutrition info however. There are a couple of gems, like the recipe below, but overall it's really a book for Disney fanatics.

Recipe:

This recipe is perfect for Fall baking after you have too many apples!
