Dessert and Snack To-Do Lists

I went into detail some time ago about the lengthy list of restaurants that Girl Scout Fiancée and I are going to be visiting during our honeymoon. Though both of us have made great strides with our health, eating habits, and weight, we both agree: the honeymoon is for us to enjoy, so bring on the delicious food! With that in mind, I decided to start compiling a post about the various delicious snacks and desserts out there that aren't a part of the meals we'll be eating. So, here's a list of all of the non-restaurant items I'm looking forward to trying out on the honeymoon. A huge shout out to the Disney Food Blog for all of the photos contained herein; all of these items are reviewed on that site, so check it out!

First stop on the delicious-and-bad-for-you food tour is the Magic Kingdom. I'm really looking forward to trying the sweet cream cheese pretzel at the Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland. After having something similar at a breakfast food truck in Portland, I'll be making sure to head to Sleepy Hollow and grab a Nutella and fruit waffle sandwich. For breakfast one morning, I'm really hoping to snag a maple cinnamon roll from Gaston's Tavern. It's already going to be tough to find room for another dessert at the Magic Kingdom (since we're doing the Tomorrowland Terrace Fireworks Dessert Party) but it's going to be difficult for me not to stop into the Main Street Bakery for a homemade ice cream sandwich. Maybe one night on a non-park day, or after dinner at Jiko.

Epcot is going to be a virtual cornucopia of delicious treats, I already know. I have penned visits into the bakery at the France pavilion for several nights, and I just know that I'll be walking away stuffed to the gills. Still, there are quite a few other snack offerings at Epcot I'm dying to try. Of course, one of the first ones that I hear a lot about is the school bread at the Norway pavilion, which looks delicious. Anything with custard in it stands out to me. As a sucker for salted caramel, the chocolate-covered sea salt caramel from Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion is on my hit list. Then there are the competing ice cream-like sandwiches, the gelato cookie sandwich from the Italy pavilion and the pressed brioche ice cream sandwich at L’ Artisan des Glaces in the France pavilion.

Hollywood Studios is not really known for its snacks, though in addition to sporting additional places to get some of the other snacks on this list, there are a few snacks unique to the park. I'm not usually a huge fan of carrot cake, but the carrot cake cookie at the Writer's Stop sounds delicious. I also know I have to try the Butterfinger cupcake from Starring Rolls, and that I might have to fight Girl Scout Fiancée for every bite.

Not every delicious treat is found in the parks. I'm sure I can pretty much find them anywhere, but one thing I love (and haven't been able to eat since we started trying to lose weight) are the chocolate croissants, which appear at many different breakfast buffets. Of course, one of the big perks to staying at the Boardwalk is that the Beach Club (and thus, Beaches & Cream), is only a short walk away, making obtaining a No Way Jose sundae pretty easy.

There are also a number of snacks that you can in multiple places. I know I'll be labeled as not a True Disney World Fan for saying this, but I've never had a Dole whip, and I've got my eye on the pineapple Dole whip float.

So, here's the real question: what did I miss? What are Girl Scout Fiancée going to kick ourselves for not grabbing when we're hungry for a snack, or something sweet?
