Disneyland Considers Delivering its Most Popular Food Items to Your Doorstep

Disneyland is still closed, but that shouldn’t stop people from being able to enjoy a taste of the historic Southern California theme park at home. At least that’s the thought put forth in a new survey sent out to annual park passholders, which asked about the likelihood of fans of the park ordering food like the famous Dole Whip, Monte Cristo sandwich, and churros it if were available for delivery. The OC Register peeked further into the possibility of that happening any time soon, what with the pandemic ongoing and no reopening in immediate sight, but so far there is no firm timeline for such a feat.
