Disneyland Resort has implemented a five-cookie limit per person per transaction for its popular Mickey Mouse-shaped gingerbread cookies this holiday season.
Disneyland Resort guests hoping to stock up on a favorite holiday treat will have to settle for just a few per customer this year, or get creative as some have. Mickey Mouse-shaped gingerbread cookies are currently selling for $7.49 each, but are limited to 'five per person, per transaction,' according to the online menus for park eateries, including the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe and Market House. 'It’s literally Christmas in a cookie,' parkgoer Tiffany Calderon said.
She said her family visits Disneyland three times a year, making it their mission to collect 20 Mickey gingerbreads during the holidays in order to freeze at home and eat year-round. 'It feels like home,' she added. 'Just cuddling up on a couch, watching some Christmas movies, getting a gingerbread cookie out and just — small bites, make it last. Make it linger.' This year, however, Disneyland is trying to prevent hoarding – not only by capping the amount people can buy at one time, but also by occasionally suspending mobile sales to keep the items from selling out. Some guests, however, are going around the park to place orders for the treats at multiple storefronts – and even heading over to the Grand Californian Hotel, where they sell for $10 a pop. According to the Disney Food Blog, the cookies are soft, Mickey Mouse-shaped, and iced. Many say they don’t just love the taste of the snack, noting that it has sentimental value too. 'This is how Christmas started,' Jennifer Walker told SFGATE, remembering how she and her parents 'would do the Holiday Time at Disneyland Tour, and they would serve that specific cookie.' Walker said she collected 24 cookies during her last visit to the 'Happiest Place on Earth,' with a total of 35 this year. But they’re not all for her. 'One of them went to my parents’ graveside,' she told SFGATE
