For the 2010 Christmas festivities at the Tokyo Disney Resort, both Disneyland and DisneySEA featured some festive goodies in souvenir plates and cups. These treats are quite popular with the local fans who will stand in some pretty lengthy lines to ensure they get at least one of the collectible plates or cups. I am a diehard and figure if I am going to fly out for the holiday events, why not just get all the souvenir dishes! As compared to other food items and theme park food prices in general, these are quite a deal at either 600 yen or 700 yen each.

Tokyo Disneyland 2010 Christmas Fantasy Holiday Desserts

As with other holidays, the two food stands surrounding the main holiday displays in Tokyo Disneyland sell desserts — one will usually sell the cup and the other the dessert. This year, they offered a third holiday themed dessert as well!

The first and most popular dessert we tried was the soft cookies, shaped like gingerbread Mickey and Minnie, available for 350 yen. We were at Disneyland on a Thursday night (12/16) and it was quite busy. Of all the desserts, this one had the longest line as people were buying up cookies before the holiday fireworks began.

For the souvenir cup, the dessert was a pear mousse with a little chocolate reindeer on top. The mousse cup is 700 yen and sits inside the souvenir cup without getting it dirty. As with all souvenir snacks, the Cast Member gives you a plastic bag to put your cup or plate in and you don’t need to waste time cleaning them as the food never makes contact with the dish!

To match the Christmas Fantasy cup, Disneyland was selling a strawberry cream puff, also with a little chocolate reindeer on top, for 600 yen. Both the mousse and the cream puff were delicious and the perfect boost of sugar I needed to keep wandering and forget how cold it was outside!

Tokyo Disney is known for their attention to detail and these souvenir cups and plates are no exception. Even the bottom of each are adorned and feature Christmas themed Disney characters.

Tokyo DisneySEA Christmas Wishes 2010 Desserts

Both Disneyland and DisneySEA usually have a dessert plate and cup you can collect. This year, Tokyo DisneySEA offered adorable dark blue plates and cups with the Christmas Wishes theme. The souvenir cup featured a strawberry milk mousse topped with a chocolate holly leaf. The cup is 700 yen and features Mickey and Minnie, along with gold silhouettes of Mickey and Minnie on the bottom.

The souvenir plate at Tokyo DisneySEA has the Christmas Wishes design and features Chip and Dale on the bottom for 600 yen. The dessert offered with the souvenir plate is a white chocolate mousse cake with green tea flavor. Both of these holiday treats were available from the food stall near the S.S. Columbia in the American Waterfront.

Of course, no holiday celebration at the Tokyo Disney Resort would be complete without Duffy and Shellie May! For Christmas 2010, Tokyo DisneySEA offered four Duffy the Disney Bear related snacks and desserts. There were souvenir plates and cups for Duffy and Shellie May, a new popcorn basket, and even a Duffy shaped cookie!

Tokyo DisneySEA Duffy Cookie

There is a fun treat available now — soft cookies in the shape of Duffy’s head for 350 yen. This is a new food stall (at least it was not there when I was at DisneySEA in September), so I am wondering if it is going to be a regular fixture in Cape Cod.

Tokyo DisneySEA Duffy and Shellie May Christmas 2010 Souvenir Plates and Cups

For the seasonal Duffy and Shellie May plates and cups, some people are under the impression you have to go to the “My Friend Duffy” show in order to purchase them, but you do not. They have two lines — one for those who want to purchase just food and the other long line is the one to purchase food and see the show. To purchase the souvenir desserts, go to the line on the left and tell them you are just there for food.

Thankfully, I had my husband with me this trip so I did not look like a total pig ordering all four desserts! When I was out in September, I was all alone (except for the Duffy Bears in tow of course) and felt completely self-conscious ordering four desserts and one drink! I ended up eating only two and took the other two back to my hotel for breakfast the next two days!

For the 2010 Christmas event, Tokyo DisneySEA sold Salted Caramel Mousse for the souvenir cups (600 yen each) and Strawberry Custard Tarts with the souvenir plates (700 yen each). Proof of Tokyo Disney’s attention to detail is further demonstrated in the desserts as each contains either a Shellie May or Duffy cookie on top — they do not skimp and feature just the Duffy Bear dessert they put on each plate or cup. It’s the small touches like this that make me fall more in love with the Tokyo Disney Resort.

As with all the desserts I’ve had at Tokyo Disney – these were excellent! The salted caramel mousse was awesome – so light and just a perfect blend of sweet and savory. The strawberry custard tarts were moist and flavorful, without being overly sweet.

Duffy Seasonal Popcorn Bucket

The popcorn stand near Aunt Peg’s in Cape Cod still had the Duffy seasonal popcorn basket when we were there. I had already seen photos online and was a little disappointed to find Shellie May was absent from the bucket. Really kicking myself for not getting the Halloween one when I was there since they were both on it! The Duffy popcorn buckets are not cheap, yet the lines rival those to get into Aunt Peg’s during a Duffy release. The buckets are 2,600 yen, which includes milk tea popcorn, and if you want the matching shoulder strap, the price is 3,200 total.

While the price for the popcorn bucket is high, the quality is high and they are quite detailed. The handles are removable and they even include “plugs” to give them a finished look if you are using the strap. I was never really into collecting popcorn buckets, but they are quite popular in Japan and I now have two Duffy ones and several seasonal ones as well.
