*NEW* Gingerbread Mickey Waffles – $10.99

topped with Powdered Sugar, served with a side of Holiday Confetti Icing

Though waffles are a breakfast item, these are available all day. The waffles themselves are pretty dry and chewy. We would have rated them a 2 or 3 by themselves, but the icing improves them. The gingerbread spices pair beautifully with the sweetness of the icing. If the waffles were fresh, this might be perfect.

Buñuelo Shake – $13.29

Cinnamon Sugar Shake topped with Whipped Cream and garnished with a House-fried Buñuelo

A hand holds a milkshake topped with whipped cream and a large cookie, set against an outdoor backdrop at Disney California Adventure's Schmoozies.

The buñuelo is a fried cinnamon sugar pastry and those flavors continue through the milkshake. Schmoozies makes great milkshakes and this is basic but perfect. It tastes like the leftover milk from a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. If you like the cinnamon sugar flavor, you’ll like this.

Elf Mickey Shake – $13.29

Mint and Chocolate Cookie Shake garnished with Green Whipped Cream and Crushed Peppermint Candy

A hand holds a milkshake crowned with green whipped cream and two cookies, nestled in a glass with a yellow sugar rim. In the background of Disney California Adventure's Schmoozies, trees and a building add charm.

People are going to love this. The Oreos are just for decoration but surprisingly weren’t stale. As for the milkshake, you get the cookies and cream flavors on the front end, followed by the cool mint. It’s exactly what you want it to be and the presentation is cute.
