I'm sure many of you are experiencing a sugar high rivaling only Halloween. While we're talking about our sugary-sweet treats, I thought it would be an excellent time to talk about a little corner of the "world" that many guests may not even know exists: Goofy's Candy Company!
Take a trip to Downtown Disney and you'll see a wide array of various shops and restaurants. It's also home to Goofy's Candy Company (or GCC). It's a great little place to pop in and get a delicious dessert, refreshing frozen drink or a handful of your favorite candy to satisfy your sweet tooth.
GCC offers a seemingly endless variety of sweets as well as an opportunity for you to create your own awesome concoction. Just step up to the counter, choose your "base" (choose from rice crispy treats, marshmallow, cookies, pretzel sticks, or apples). Next, your base will be covered with a layer of sticky treats. Will you choose milk chocolate? White chocolate? How about caramel? Now, it's time to decorate! Your final topping comes in the form of sprinkles, candies (M&M's, Butterfingers, etc.), Oreos, chocolate chips or nuts! After a quick freeze to firm up your custom creation, your name is called and you get to enjoy your masterpiece! What could be better?!
GCC also offers an excellent selection of frozen (non-alcoholic) drinks to cool you down on a hot Florida day. Glaciers, as they're called, come in 8 fantastic flavors including Garshly Berry Blue, Pucker Purple and more. The best part? You get to create your own cup! You'll have to pay a little more for the 'Souvenir Cup option' but it's essentially like playing with a Mr. Potato Head (but you get to drink out of it!). Selections include Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, Princess and more. You can combine as many glacier flavors as you please, so be as crazy, or as original as you please!
Goofy's Candy Company also offers your favorite Disney snacks from the parks, so if you're craving that Mickey Bar, or a sensational ice cream sandwich, be sure to stop in and grab it here!
So next time you're taking a stroll through Downtown Disney, take a peek into the silliest Candy Company around and enjoy your custom confection!

ReplyDeleteI think we walked past GCC and thought about coming back, but then it was closed when we remembered to go back, lol. Next time for sure, though!
