Visitors of Disney Shanghai are now able to pick up 'Mickey Mouse Donuts,' delectable treats that are shaped just like the classic cartoon character, and covered in colorful sprinkles and icing.
To create the unique donuts, Disney Shanghai combines one regular sized donut with two smaller ones, which make the character's round ears. As all of the donuts that are used are hollow on the inside, they're easy to eat and to carry around the theme park as one explores. So far, the Mickey Mouse Donuts seem to have proven successful among visitors, many of which have taken to Instagram to share photos of them in front of the photogenic theme park.
In addition to the Mickey Mouse Donuts, it's reported that the Shanghai theme park also offers pretzels that are shaped like the cartoon character.
