Main
Street
Candy
Palace & Candy Kitchen
The Candy Palace
has been selling handmade sweet treats made in the Candy Kitchen since opening
day of Disneyland. It is a Main Street tradition for many guests. Many can't
call it a day at Disneyland without stopping in and finding a sweet treat. You
will find many sweet treats from Salt Water Taffy to Toffee of all kinds along
with Disney character Candy Apples.
When Walt Disney
was designing Main Street he wanted it to have many of the fun shops that adults
remember from their childhood and kids love. Well, who does not love a good
piece of candy? What is more fun that watching that candy being made right in front
of you! That is what happens at the Candy Palace and Kitchen.
There are vents
in the Gibson Girl and Candy Kitchen that are designed to blow the scents from
the shops onto Main Street. This was Walt Disney's idea to add to the richness
of the experience and make it seem more "real". Most of the year
these vents blew vanilla and during the holiday season they blew mint. There
are various reports saying about these vents still working. I've seen reports
that say the fans have been broken for years. I will be honest and say it's been a long time since I've smelled the vanilla and mint.
Through out the
year the Kitchen makes candy to celebrate every holiday and season. You are
always welcome to stop and watch the candy makers at work. They make various recipes
through the year. Some things are made more often than others. To find out what
is on the menu for the week call (714) 781-0112. The recording is updated every
Sunday.
