In comparison, when I called to inquire about it, the price the package of 2 Mickey cookies and a carafe of milk was about $40. We had a large group and I definitely needed more cookies than 2, so she said I could order cookies a la carte. I decided to do that and I got my own milk at the Compass Bookstore! Much cheaper!!!!! Our kids loved the treats in the room when we got back from dinner. They were yummy!!!! I know that others have ordered the chocolate dipped strawberries and had good reviews of them. I believe they were $2.50 a piece as well.

Originally Posted By fidoprincess I ordered a ton of stuff for my kids when we went last Jan. We stayed at DLH but got the really great AP rate of 89/night so I thought we could certainly splurge on some treats delivered to the room. I ordered chocolate ears with their names on them. They were really adorable. I ordered the tuxedo chocolate covered strawberries, mickey rice crispie treats, mickey cookies and milk and a few other things I can't remember. The kids only liked the rice krispie treats, and not even the ears because they thought the chocolate tasted "weird"-lol. Pretty much all the rest of the stuff went to waste (or my waist-the strawberries were so yummy!) Dd fell asleep almost immediately each time we got back to the room so she was never really thrilled with any of the treats and they had their fair share of treats in DL each day. The service was great, the treats were always there each night when we returned and they delivered the milk in a beautiful ice bucket. That said, I would not do it again. Big waste of money and it was pricey. I think the cookies and milk for 2 was close to $25! The treats added a big chunk of money to my hotel bill to be sure. We do tinkerbell surprises each morning they wake up and those are so much more of a treat and they actually get to enjoy them the whole trip as they are things to play, wear or eat as they wait in line at the park! I get things like Disney clothing, glow sticks, all kinds of disney toys and a movie or 2 for the last morning's ride home. I shop the sales ahead of time and it is way cheaper and much better value for surprises. You can email VP for a price list, here is a just a sample of some items they sent me: For the kids: Sweet Endings w/milk - Three Home Made Chocolate Cookies with Peanut Butter filling, served with a Chilled Bottle of Milk Price:$12.00 (plus room service charges) Mickey's Rice Krispy Treats - Two Mickey's Rice Krispy Treats dipped in chocolate Price: $10.00 (plus room service charges) Two Mickey Cookies - Price: $4.00 (plus room service charges) I thought the prices "seemed" reasonable but the extra fees added on top is what killed me. I just found my bill so here are some examples;the 2 chocolate ears were 30.77! The cookies and milk-$25.65! The rice crispy treats were $25.65 too! You can sneak into the Pooh candy store and buy a whole whole lot of goodies for those prices and as you leave your room each morning, sneak back in and set them out yourself!

I would suggest ordering something tangible that you will be able to enjoy when you get home. Most of the baskets were filled with over priced candy and snacks. Our basket had a 2 disc CD of all the DL music which we listen to all the time. It came with a mickey and minnie plush, 2 big lollipops, 5oth photo album which holds 100 pictures (great for showing photos when you return home)and golden mouse ears hat. Desserts we ordered: 2 mickey ears cookies 2 rice krispie treats 4 choc covered strawberries We ordered desserts to be delivered for 3 nights of the 4 we were there. It was a bit much. The treats were huge so it took my 3 and 5 yr old all week to eat them. And the chocolate on the rice krispie treats did taste weird. As in, not good quality chocolate. Bring lots of sandwich baggies to store leftover uneaten treats. I also brought them into the park for uneaten churros etc. It is a great splurge for a first time visit but I don't think I would do it again. Maybe next time I would buy some other cookies at the park and put it out myself as a surprise. My kids liked my tinkerbell gifts (items I bought and brought along)in the morning much better.

I got the ears!
