What is an itzakadoozie you might wonder? It is a topic of conversation that Hook, Tink, and Cinder often have when they are playing Disney World at home. As far as they are concerned it contains all major food groups and would be enough for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
It is a delicious twisted rainbow Popsicle that has a plastic straw in the middle. There is an art to eating these treats. One must open the packaging at the opposite end from the bottom of the straw. Then you start eating, being careful to leave the wrapping covering the bottom part of the Popsicle. As you eat, the straw top will slowly be revealed allowing you to eat the Popsicle and sip the melted juices through the straw at the same time. They are available in every park except the animal Kingdom which bans plastic straws due to the safety of the animals. The kids are aware of this fact and concede to another choice of treat when in the Animal Kingdom.
Hook will typically go for chocolate covered Mickey Ears
Tink often opts for the Frozen Pink Lemonade in a cup
Cinder usually enjoys the strawberry fruit bar
Charming often opts for the cookies and cream mickey cookie bar
Mommy Mouse always chooses popcorn
Beast takes leftovers of whatever she can get
My kids live for this treat when in WDW. Moments after arriving in the Orlando Airport they begin discussing where they will see the ice cream cart first and when will they first have the opportunity to start the itzakadoozie tango with Mommy Mouse and Charming. It often goes like this. Hook, "Mommy, I just saw an itzakadoozie cart and I think it was open." To which Mommy Mouse replies "Oh, really? That is interesting, you are very observant."
Since we always do the deluxe dining plan, a topic for a future post, we each have two snacks a day to use and the kids know this and utilize this in their side of the tango.
Tink being the calculating one will often start with "Mommy? Have we used any of our snack credits today?" To which I will respond with the number of snacks we have used and then turn it into a math problem for them to determine how many snack credits we all have left for the day. Why am I the only one that always has to use my fingers for this?
Cinder will them chime in, "Mommy is it snack time, my tummy is rumbling for an itzakadoozie!" At this point, Charming will often tell them that he heard that every snack cart is out of Itzakadoozie's because Goofy forgot to turn the freezer on and they all melted!
This usually ends in a lot of giggles and the end of the Itzakadoozie tango with the reward of Itzakadoozies. The Disney Dining Plan has tremendous advantages, having a family of four children does not worry us when in Disney when we use the dining plan because we know that if our children want to experience the "magic" of an itzakadoozie, it is only one snack credit away.
No need for us to worry about how much money we are spending on Popsicles, it is all taken care of!
Mommy Mouse highly recommends the Disney Dining plan, just another advantage of staying on property when visiting Disney World.
