"It's an inevitable reality that a trip to Disneyland takes more planning than ever. Guests need to make park reservations weeks or months ahead of time, strategize early in the day about which rides to reserve through Lightning Lane, and book dining reservations as soon as they open up, usually 60 days out. It all adds up to an enormous amount of time spent on your phone on the Disneyland app."
"The treats are already so popular that guests buy them in bulk and hoard them at home, freezing the cookies for a taste of the holidays throughout the year. This year's waits, though, have been even longer than anticipated. In response to demand, Disney has removed Mickey gingerbread as an option when mobile ordering from places that offer them. Among those locations: Jolly Holiday and Market House in Disneyland Park;"
"For those willing to brave waiting in line - which, at the Grand, often stretches through the lobby and out the doors into the courtyard - the limit per guest is five cookies per transaction. Inside the park, the cookie sells for $7.99. In the hotel, the only location outside the parks where the coveted snack is available, it's $10.50."
A trip to Disneyland requires extensive advance planning, including park reservations, Lightning Lane selections, and 60-day dining bookings, increasing app usage. The Mickey gingerbread cookie has become exceptionally scarce and popular, with guests reporting mobile-order waits up to 11 hours and people buying and freezing cookies in bulk. Disney removed the Mickey gingerbread option from mobile ordering at several locations, including Jolly Holiday, Market House, Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe, and the Grand Californian lobby cart. A less flavorful sprinkle-covered Mickey cookie is sold elsewhere. Lines at the Grand often extend through the lobby and courtyard, and the limit is five cookies per transaction. Prices are $7.99 in-park and $10.50 at the hotel.
