A Disney TikToker ranked the 'best' and 'worst' foods she ate at Disney World last year, including a rainbow-colored hot dog and Mickey Mouse waffles

• A TikToker shared her reviews of the "best" and "worst" foods she ate at Disney World in 2022.
• Viewers said they were shocked by some of the food in her "worst" video, which went viral.

A TikToker who reviews food at Disney resorts shared her lists of the "best" and "worst" foods she ate at Disney World.

The user, @wrightdownmainstreet, who has 111,000 followers, posted her first annual round-up on December 31, captioned, "Best eats at Disney World in 2022," which received 951,000 views.

She said the Mickey Mouse-shaped churro waffles from The Crystal Palace dining experience, where breakfast costs between $35 and $59.99 per adult according to the Disney World website, was "worth every penny." She also highlighted the "almost half-pound" cookie served at Gideon's Bakehouse, specifically buying it warm from the oven during "hot cookie hour" between 2 p.m. and 3 p.m., and 7 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Other items on her "best food" list included filet mignon sliders with truffle fries from The Boathouse restaurant and waffles from Connections Eatery. The number-one spot went to the char-crusted New York strip steak from a restaurant called Flying Fish, which costs $56 according to the menu and was her "all-time favorite meal" at Disney World. "The char crust on the outside provides an amazing flavor that is so unique," she said.

Viewers said the food that the TikToker highlighted looked "amazing," and some shared the names of their favorite restaurants and dishes from the theme park.

Later that day, she posted a second round-up. "These are the five worst things I ate at Disney World in 2022," she said in the clip, sharing a video montage showing some of the foods which she ate over the course of the year and posted about on her account at the time.

She said the worst meal she had was a "truffle macaroni and cheese" at Cítricos, a restaurant at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa inspired by the 2018 film "Mary Poppins Returns." The TikToker described the dish as "mushroom overload," saying, "I very rarely do not finish what I order but after a few bites I threw in the towel with this one."

The user also mentioned the seasonal milkshakes and smoked wings from Disney's Hollywood Studios, saying that the milkshakes were "weirdly warm" and "not the right consistency," while the wing dish, which cost $15, had "way too much sauce" and only came with four wings.

The clip blew up, and received 3.4 million views. Viewers said they were particularly shocked by the appearance of a rainbow-colored hot dog bun that featured in the video, which the user said she bought from the Typhoon Lagoon waterpark.

"The hot dog itself was, yeah, not good, and it then it was topped with a blue-dyed cheese sauce. I'll leave it at that," the TikToker said in a voice-over over a clip of her biting into the snack.

"I would never touch that hot dog. you are brave," wrote one top comment with 10,000 likes. "Not the colorful hot dog," another user said.

Other viewers, who said they had also been to Disney World, said they thought the food at Disney resorts had declined in quality in recent months.

"I feel like most Disney food in general has gone way downhill. Was kinda disappointed on my last trip. If you're not fine dining its not great," read one top comment with 2,200 likes, while other commenters said they thought most food at the resort was overpriced.

In August, The Wall Street Journal reported that prices for food, hotels, and tickets at Disney World and Disneyland were rising faster than the rate of inflation, citing an analysis run for the outlet by travel firm Touring Plans.

According to specialist theme-park news outlets Inside the Magic and Theme Park Tourist, the Walt Disney Company discussed plans to potentially "reduce portions" at Disney Parks restaurants as part of a cost-cutting effort in an earnings call at the end of 2021, leading to online complaints from park visitors about the size and quality of food at the venues.

The Walt Disney Company did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
