MDB Capital President and Chief Marketing Strategist Lou Basenese joins “Cavuto: Coast to Coast” to discuss Disney’s recent turnaround.
Disneyland Resort guests looking to stock up on a favorite holiday treat will have to settle for just a few per customer this year, or get creative like some have.
The Mickey Mouse-shaped gingerbread cookies currently sell for $7.49 each, but are limited to “five per person, per transaction,” according to online menus at the park’s restaurants, including the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe and Market House.
“It’s literally Christmas in a cookie,” said park attendant Tiffany Calderon he told SFGATE. She said her family visits Disneyland three times a year, so she makes it her mission to collect 20 Mickey Gingerbread cookies during the holidays to freeze at home and eat throughout the year. “I feel at home,” he added. “Just cuddling up on a couch, watching some Christmas movies, pulling out a gingerbread cookie and just…little bites, make it last. Make it last.”
This year, however, Disneyland is trying to prevent hoarding, not only limiting how much people can buy at one time, but also occasionally suspending mobile sales to prevent items from selling out.

Some guests, however, tour the park to order treats from various storefronts, even heading to the Grand Californian Hotel, where they are sold for $10 a pop. According to the Disney Food Blog, the cookies are soft, Mickey Mouse-shaped, and frosted.

Many say they don’t just love the taste of the snack, noting that it also has sentimental value.
“That’s how Christmas started,” Jennifer Walker told SFGATE, recalling how she and her parents “would Disneyland Tour Vacation Time, and they would serve that specific cookie.”
Walker said she picked up 24 cookies during her last visit to the “happiest place on Earth,” with a total of 35 this year. But not all of them are for her.
“One of them went to my parents’ grave,” he told SFGATE. “So my mom still has her Mickey Gingerbread.”

He passed out others as work gifts.
“It turned out that my co-worker had the same tradition with her mother,” Walker said. “Christmas was starting when they would have their Mickey gingerbread. So when I had it on her desk, she literally cried because she wasn’t going to make it this year. She said, ‘Oh my God, you’re going to help. we keep a Christmas tradition”.
