Disney Mickey Waffler from VillaWare - Product Review

When I visited Walt Disney World each summer as a child, I insisted every morning on having a Mickey Waffle served at each of the Walt Disney World resorts. How is the Mickey Waffle different from an ordinary waffle, you ask. Well, it is shaped like Mickey Mouse, of course. My only wish as a child was that I could enjoy Mickey Waffles every day of the year, even when I was north of the Sunshine State. Twenty-plus years later, I finally got my wish. And not just because I moved to Orlando. I also purchased a Disney Mickey Waffler from VillaWare. Here is a product review of the Disney Mickey Waffler from VillaWare.

The six-pound Disney Mickey Waffler is a compact black and silver waffle iron that makes six-inch waffles in the shape of Mickey Mouse's head. It is fast - each delicious waffle takes only about ninety seconds to bake - and it is incredibly easy to use. Just pick up some waffle mix from your local grocery store, follow the directions on the box, and pour the batter into the Disney Mickey Waffler and wait. What you will find when you open your Disney Mickey Waffler is a perfectly formed Mickey Waffle.

You can add fruits to your waffle batter, like blueberries and strawberries, and of course, you can top your Mickey Waffle with anything you would like. It is a wonderful way to help your children enjoy breakfast, and not at all bad for adults too.

The one drawback to the Disney Mickey Waffler is that it is not the authentic waffle iron used at the Walt Disney World resorts. The original Mickey Waffler was made by Vitantonio, a company which is now out of business. The difference between the Mickey Waffles at the resorts and the Mickey Waffles made by the VillaWare Mickey Waffler is noticeable. In fact, the Mickey Waffler's waffles are more like pancakes, without the crispiness and ridges found on typical waffles. That being said, if you love pancakes - and I do - than you will most likely be fully satisfied with the VillaWare Mickey Waffler. Hey, it is the next best thing. And it is the only game in town.

The Disney Mickey Waffler from VillaWare runs only about $27, and you can purchase it online from Amazon. I purchased mine from the Amazon seller "orangeonions" and I was very pleased with their service. The Disney Mickey Waffler was shipped almost immediately, and I received it in just a few days. It would make a great gift for your favorite Disney fan, or it would make a great addition to your kitchen. So check it out, and enjoy.
