Creepy Disney Park Legends

9 Creepy Disney Park Legends You Should Know Before Planning Your Next Trip.  For many, Disneyland and Walt Disney World are wonderful havens of magic and dreams for the whole family to enjoy. It's the perfect hyper positive environment for vacation. However, it's understandable that some members of your family might not totally be on board for the "ooey-gooey-kissy-huggyness" of Disney.

Melted, delicious red velvet cake-in-a-cup. Plus, it's pin k . It could have had one every day if I could (and I could afford it). So when the holidays passed and my beloved Red Velvet Hot Cocoa disappeared from the menu, I was devastated and decided to figure out how to make it at home myself.  I learned that Red Velvet Hot Cocoa at Coffee Bean is made from a mix, which they don't sell (unfortunately).
