I wish I could have been at the D23 Expo sounds like it was awssome. Favorite quicksnack, well don’t have one yet. I think it takes a couple of trips to WDW in order to figure out what all is there and since I have only been once, well I haven’t had the chance to experience everything.
Rick Thanks for the videos I really love them. I hope you are at WDW in Dec when we go so we have a chance to meet you.

Rick,
We would have to have 2 pineapple dole whip floats for the $10. They are the greatest and our favorite at WDW.

Glad to hear Disney embraced the Expo. Made it special for all those attending.
My favorite quicksnack is always icecream. The cones in Tomorrowland are the absolute best.

The turkey legs are my pet peeve at kingdom but I have never had a pineapple dole whip. Definetly going to try one on my next trip.
Jean Betses on September 25, 2009 at 1:53 pm
A dole whip, of course!!!
Thanks for all of the coverage of the D23 event. You made me feel like I was there.

Thanks Rick for your broadcasts from D23. Hope you keep us in the planning loop for the next conference and maybe we’ll all meet up.
WDW is an amazing place for treats and hard to choose just one favourite. However in my 9 trips, I’ve never missed snacking on a Mickey chocolate ice cream bar and of course eating the ears first
Can’t wait to do it again soon!

Even though we have been a few times over the past couple of years we don’t really have a favorite snack yet. We do love to stop at Casey’s corner for the corn dog nuggets at MK.
Thanks again Rick for the video.

Wish I could have made it to D23 Expo….looks like a Disney Junkie’s Dream.
My favorite snack was the baked sweet potatoes they used to have in Liberty Square – a healthy but awesome snack.
Keep up the great videos – keep them coming!

Our best snack at Disney is the dole whip and would pay $10 for it in fact we will be at WDW on Sat 9-26
for 6 days so you know where our first stop will be.
Thanks for all the great videos.

I think you guys have to be the luckiest people on the face of the planet. I thought I had the coolest job in the world. Anyway as for my favorite snack (or as I would call it treats) I have two. First would be the the biggest chocolate and sprinkle covered rice krispy treat I could find and second would be the chocolate covered Mickey Mouse ears ice cream.
Thanks Rick

D23 looked absolutely awesome!! Thanks for sharing your experience with us. My favorite snack at WDW was something they no longer have – Beavertails. They were wonderful and I loved sharing them with my favorite Disney fanatic, my husband. Hopefully they will bring them back again someday.

Thanks for this weeks show!! After living in Lou’s box for the whole of the Expo I was getting serious withdrawals – but your show made me feel right back there! Hmmm, I had to really think long and hard about the snack options, as I love snacks, but I narrowed it down and the winner for me would be a souvenir bucket of popcorn. Not only do you get great popcorn, but a fantastic bucket to give a lasting memory of WDW every time you look at it! (and the bucket is also great for carrying other snacks around,like the Mickey Krispy treats, cookies, and candy we always get from Goofy’s confectionary shop!!) Thanks again for a great show!

Thanks for the D23 update. It looked absolutely awesome!! I think my favorite snack would have to be ham and cheese quiche and chocolate mousse from Boulangerie Patisserie in the France pavilion of Epcot. Thanks agin for another great show!!

My fave snack would be the chocolate covered bananas…absolutely healthy! Thanks!
Robert Nordmark on September 27, 2009 at 3:06 am
Rick, Every week I watch you doing a job that you enjoy. I keep asking myself, Why can’t I do that? Anyway, my favorite snack at WDW: Epcot–something chocolate from the bakery at the French Pavillion or a fruit tart from the Norwegian Pavillion.
Carol Nash on September 27, 2009 at 11:28 am
Hi Rick,
D23 sounded like a blast. I will attend the next one. My favorite snack is the hot candied pecans.
Kevin Nelson on September 28, 2009 at 10:48 am
Thanks Rick for the awesome broadcasts from D23. I am sorry I missed you last week at WDW, my wife and I met up with a friend of hers who is a cast member at Downtown Disney and we had Hoop-De-Doo Revue reservations that night, sorry again, I so wanted to fit in meeting you. Next time for sure. Favorite snack for my 10 bucks would be all the popcorn it would buy! Keep up the great work and keep that smile on your face!
Lou Mongello on September 29, 2009 at 9:40 am
Hey Rick! Great seeing you again at the D23Expo and thanks for inviting me and some other members of the team to come on your show! I really appreciate it! Keep up the great work and I look forward to seeing you in WDW again soon!
P.S. Bucket of popcorn and a bottle of water

Always a pleasure Lou! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedule at D23 to talk with us!
john broadwater on September 29, 2009 at 9:55 am
Thanks for all the new web sites to go through. the show was great. My favorite snack that a must do would be a soft pretzel and a Mickey Mouse Ice cream. Imight just spent a little over $10.00. But they are a must do.
Dale Short on September 30, 2009 at 3:31 pm
Great show! You just have too much fun!! Love it! Our favorite snack would be to go to the Plaza Restaurant at Magic Kingdom & get their banana split. Been doing that for years & it’s still great.
Scott Schultz on October 3, 2009 at 2:13 am
Great Show…Hmm….$10.00…Just give me a Strawberry Oolong Tea Slushie from the China Pavillion at Epcot’s World Showcase and I’d be a happy man.
