You don’t need a park ticket, you need a can and the right waffle iron.

If you’ve ever had a Mickey waffle at Disney and wondered why it tastes different from anything you make at home, it’s not the shape; it’s the mix. Carbon’s Golden Malted Original Pancake & Waffle Mix is what the parks actually use, and yes, you can just buy it.

How I make it:
Follow the directions right on the can, no tweaks needed, it’s already dialed in.

The other half of the equation:
A Mickey-shaped waffle maker is what turns this from “good waffle” into “kid loses their mind” territory. Spray the plates with cooking spray before each waffle, this thing has a lot of detail in the mold and you do not want to find that out the hard way.

Notes:
This is about as close as you can get to a park breakfast without the wait, the crowds, or the price tag. Store the leftover mix in an airtight container and it’ll keep well between waffle mornings.

Short on time? Mix a double batch of batter and freeze extra waffles flat on a sheet pan, then bag them once frozen. Reheat in the toaster on busy mornings, still tastes like a treat, none of the morning-of effort.
