I love Disney food so I was excited to read this. A lot of them seem pretty simple for items that just combine premade foods. There was more Disneyland than I was expecting but I appreciate that it had Walt Disney World favorites like the famous cobb salad from the Brown Derby. We will make some recipes for a fun Disney themed meal.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing me with a copy in exchange for an honest review.

The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurant Cookbook is an essential cookbook for any Disney fan. I’m not sure that I would label myself as a “Disney Adult”, but since going to the parks for the first time a few years ago, Disney Parks have taken up a large portion of my social media feeds. During our trip, it was impossible to try every restaurant that Disney has to offer, so Disney Parks Cookbook seems like a logical way to bring the magic of the parks home with you!

Along with the brief explanations of the tools you’ll need while trying out the recipes included, the book also gives a brief description of the different restaurants featured. Each recipe has the restaurant and Disney park where you’ll find the real thing!

Amazing cookbook! Has all of the best staples (including drinks and desserts!) from Disneyland and Disneyworld with cute and useful tips as you go. Beautiful pictures and the recipes were all easy to follow. The introduction was informative as well. I will definitely be making these some staples in my house!

The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook begins with a lovely introduction from the author Ashley Craft who gives some background on her expertise on Disney Foods. As a kid who grew up near Anaheim California, Disney has been a part of her life for a long time. While Unofficial won’t replace the magical treats (or the steep prices) that readers experience at the Parks, it can be used to enjoy Disney dishes at home in an affordable way.

Like her previous books, Craft seeks to break down iconic Disney meals and simplify them for anyone to make and consume. Some of the recipes are simple, like the avocado toast from Pacific Wharf Cafe or the fried pickles from Carnation Cafe there are more challenging recipes like Disney's classic cinnamon rolls.

I love that Craft takes the time to give her readers some of the history behind Disney’s foods. She notes that a lot of the foods and treats like the chili, churros, and corn dogs that were available when the Park opened are still available now. She also breaks down what constitutes a Disney Restaurant and has them categorized as Signature Table Service, Quick Serve, Snack Stands, and more. While previous books focused on the cocktails and the snacks, The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook gets the chunk of recipes inspired by Signature Table Restaurants like Be Our Guest in Walt Disney World or the secretive Club 22 in Disneyland.

With one chapter devoted entirely to the essential tools a cook will need to recreate these recipes, even beginning cooks should have the confidence to use this boo since Craft fully guides readers through everything they need to know to cook up a magical meal.

Each recipe has the title of the dish, where it can be found in Disney Park, a few suggestions for variations, instructions, and sometimes a short Disney fact or cooking hack to close out the recipe. While not every recipe has a photo, I did think the photos were bright and not overly staged like I’ve seen in other cookbooks.

Some photos are exactly shot the way you would receive the dish at a Disney Park, for example, the fried pickles are served in a basket with paper with a dipping sauce. This is exactly the way I received this tasty appetizer a few months at when I visited Carnation Cafe!

Craft also includes the iconic Lobster Nachos from Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure and it looks to be like the original recipe which used frozen lobster instead of the gloopy canned version they serve now.

Desserts and drink recipes close out the book and items like the wonderful Meiloorun Juice are showcased. Craft also includes maps of the Parks showing where each dish is sold.

Craft's clear passion for all things Disney resonates throughout The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook, building a strong connection with readers who share her love for the magic of Disney. She diligently researches and recreates recipes from Disney parks with close attention to detail, ensuring that her Disney re-creations truly capture the flavors, presentation, and overall magic of Disney-inspired dishes.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and give an honest review of this book.

What is more fun than visiting your favorite Disney Park and eating your way through it? Well, author Ashley Craft gives you the opportunity to read about the various Disney dining locations and test out her selection of recipes from those Disney restaurants and food venues.

In this book she has included everything from appetizers to drinks and desserts. If you haven’t got the time or the money to visit the Disney parks right now, at least you can have a taste of things right in your own home by using the recipes included in this book.

This is a really great cookbook! My favorite recipes are the Mickey Shaped Pancakes cause they are adorable and delicious, warm glazed doughnut because I think it is perfect for the fall season, and the Plaza Inn Specialty Chicken because it's delicious and easy to make. All of these recipes are easy to make which is nice. I would recommend this!

I love cookbooks and I love Disney, so this combination was an immediate sell.

And I was so delighted with this book. This book collected together appetizers, main dishes, desserts, and drinks from the US Disney Parks. From Disneyland to EPCOT to Disney's Hollywood Studios, this book gave a great opportunity to bring the magic of Disney restaurants into your home.

The recipes are really clearly laid out and easy to follow. And each recipe is accompanied with a little blurb about the history of the recipe or the restaurant it came from. A lot of them were paired with really striking pictures that looked like they were taken in the parks, but I would have loved pictures for every recipe. That's the only thing that could have made this book better.

Everything that I tried turned out so well. The Cafe Orleans Monte Cristo sandwiches were an especially big hit in my household. Although the batter ended up making enough for four sandwiches, not just one.

Thanks to NetGalley and Adams Media for this ARC!

This book is awesome! I definitely wouldn’t recommend it on kindle though. In fact I’ll be purchasing the physical copy myself. I need this in my kitchen!

I love to look at cookbooks featuring recipes from Disney. Don’t know why, I just do. I like to try to recreate a few meals that we enjoyed when we visited or to look to try some from places that we didn’t get to. This one is no exception. Will be adding to my cookbook collection when it come out.

I decided to try something new this time and was not disappointed.

Ashley Craft wrote other Disney-inspired cookbooks but wanted to focus on the restaurants this time. She provides a glimpse into what makes some of these Disney restaurants unique and how they changed over the years. She also gives some great, fun tips for things to look for or do the next time you're in one of the parks!

This cookbook includes recipes for some of your favorite appetizers, meals, desserts, and drinks from California and Florida parks. If you haven't been to Disney recently, these recipes will help give you a sneak preview of what you can look forward to on your next vacation.

I appreciate that Ashley pinpoints the items that may be required when making some of the recipes. The only slightly confusing part was when she mentions using an air fryer, but it's never clearly stated when and for which recipes.

The best part about reviewing a cookbook is testing the recipes; I am forever grateful!

I tried several recipes, followed the directions, and had some really delicious foods. The recipes range from easy to a little more complicated.

I made the Caramel Monkey Bread, Our Famous Cobb Salad (and dressing), Poblano Mac & Cheese, Pomme Frites (and sauce), St. Louis Rib Dinner, Wookie Cookies, and the Honey Buzz. Every recipe was a success for me except for the Wookie Cookies, but the blame is on me, not the recipe. When the recipe states it makes five cookie sandwiches and you end up with tons of cookies, you need to be more generous with the portion size. Even with that little faux pas, the cookies tasted delicious!

I think the only thing I would have preferred was more pictures of how these recipes should look. There were some pictures, but I'm very visual when making or baking food, so I would have loved to see how my results compared to the cookbook.

Thank you Ashley Craft, Adams Media, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review. These recipes were delicious, and I will definitely make them again!

This is the newest addition to The Unofficial Disney Parks Cookbook Series. What a fun way to get the magic of Disney food at home!

We are going to Disney the first week in October and this helped me to find and plan what foods I want to find at Disney to try before we leave!

This was my first experience with an "unofficial" Disney cookbook, so I did not go into this cookbook with many expectations. I was immediately blown away by how Ashley Craft has not only adapted beloved food recipes from within the parks, but she has given some background to accompany each recipe. I wish a photo was included for each recipe, the photos that are included are wonderful.

I think this cookbook is a necessity for any Disney fan!

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for providing an e-ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

If you're a fan of Disney, this is a fun cookbook to check out. Along with the recipes, the book includes info on where to find the treats inside the park. I also enjoyed learning the origins behind the recipes.

Food is such a part of the Disney experience! In The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook, Ashley Craft shows you how to make the delightful dishes you remember from your Disney visits. This cookbook has everything but the rides!

Organized traditionally into Breakfast, Lunch, Appetizers and Snacks, Main Dishes, Desserts and Drinks categories, The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook has something for everyone. After a brief section on the cooking utensils you’ll need to prepare these dishes, these gorgeously photographed recipes begin. The well written, easy to understand recipes include a Mix It Up suggestion, Cooking Hack, Disney Parks Tip or Park Info. My favorites include Caramel Monkey Bread (so easy to make using refrigerated biscuits!), Sausage and Gravy Tots, Not So Little Chicken Sandwich, Candied Bacon and Ooey Gooey Toffee Cake. Just reading the recipes will make you want to taste each mouth watering dish! Enjoy! 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Ashley Craft for this ARC.

I love these Unofficial Disney Parks cookbooks series! Disney food is always so cute! This one has some different recipes and some food that I haven’t seen at Disney yet. I like that it shows you where in which park you can find each food. The book is pretty, easy to follow and the photos are nice. I received a free digital copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review

All things Disney food and drink...

For someone who grew up eating an excessive amount of churros at Disneyland. this cookbook shined a new light on Disney food. Things have changed and this was a practical layout for making and preparing tasty food from the parks in your own home. The recipes are laid out in a way that makes the food easy to prepare and recreate at your leisure and that kids and families can enjoy.

Some are easy recipes and some a bit more elegant (and plenty of drinks) and the author understands and knows the layouts of the parks. The insider tips on how to order and what places to eat at are handy. I am looking forward to making some of these recipes when I want that Disney magic at home. But I will still cram a churro in my mouth as soon as I get to the first stand selling them at Disneyland.
Recommend.

I am a Disney and baking fanatic, so I was very excited to get to preview this cookbook and try a few of the recipes. We go to Disney frequently and have eaten at many of the places featured in this cookbook. It was wonderful to be able to recreate some of our favorite dishes and try others! As with any cookbook I would love to see a photo with each recipe, but the photos that were included were well put together. This will be one that I will want to add a physical copy to my collection.

I was looking through all the cookbooks on NetGalley and was immediately drawn in by the cover and title for "The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook"!

"The Unofficial Disney Parks Restaurants Cookbook" by Ashley Craft is a cookbook must-have for Disney-loving home cooks looking for Disney-inspired dishes!

This cookbook features 100+ recipes inspired by dishes served at restaurants in Disney Parks . It has 2 parts:
- The first part is "Disney Parks Restaurant 101", which gives readers an introduction to some of the most popular restaurants in the six US Parks and a run-down of kitchen/cooking essentials you'll need for some of the recipes. This section was very informative and a pretty cool addition, especially to Disney fans and park tourists who might want more insight to the restaurants.
- The second part is "Disney Parks Restaurant Recipes", which holds all the recipes and is broken down into 6 sections: Breakfast, Lunch, Appetizers and Snacks, Main Dishes, Desserts, and Drinks.

Most of the recipes have steps and ingredients that are simple and accessible so any home cook can cook them at home. Only a few recipes call for "special" cooking gadgets and ingredients (like the Drinks section which includes cocktails). There's also dairy-free recipes so folks with lactose intolerance or dairy allergies can eat and enjoy (like me!)

I really liked the Disney Park-inspired recipes featured in the cookbook but I noticed that not all of the recipes were accompanied by a photo. It would've been amazing to see a photo of the final product for each just so I could have an idea of what they're supposed to look like. (Please note: I just received an e-ARC of the cookbook via NetGalley, so the final published product might include more photos.)

While there are a lot of recipes featured here, at first glance, I was particularly drawn to the recipes under the Breakfast, Main Dishes, and Desserts sections.

Here are recipes that I've bookmarked:
- Mustafarian Lava Rolls (Oga's Cantina, Disneyland and Disney's Hollywood Studios)
- Sausage and Gravy Tots (The Friear's Nook, Magic Kingdom)
- Mickey-Shaped Pancakes (Red Rose Taverne, Disneyland)
- Jambalaya (French Market Restaurant, Disneyland)
- Impossible Spoonful (Pym Test Kitchen, Disney California Adventure) (This is plant-based and dairy free)
- Ka-Cheeseburger (Flo's V8 Cafe, Disney California Adventure)
- Sweet Lumpia! (The Tropical Hideaway, Disneyland)
- Wookie Cookies (Backlot Express, Disney's Hollywood Studios)
- Strawberry Shortcake Funnel Cake Fries (Award Weiners, Disney California Adventure)

Thank you Adams Media for providing me an e-copy to review on NetGalley.

This book is an interesting one. It has many recipes for the theme parks and restaurants within. I found many recipes that took my back to my childhood and well loved foods.They are some of the foods that people love the most when visiting. There is a good balance of simple, family friendly recipes and more challenging ones to give the foodies some added choices. I did enjoy the descriptions under each recipe for why it was chosen and what makes it special. The photos are absolutely stunning! Simple without being overdone!
