Disney Lamplight Lounge Lobster Nachos

This weekend my husband and I had a Disney Date Night! Yes we love Disney and we have been really missing Disneyland lately! One of our absolute favorite places to eat is Lamplight Lounge in Disney California Adventure. We always share their Lobster Nachos and love to order off of their secret drink menu too!

I decided to recreate the lobster nachos and the Mickey’s Fun Wheel drink (one of the drinks off of the secret drink menu) at home. As it turns out, there is a ton of work that goes into the Lobster nachos! I started looking at this recipe but wanted to simplify the process, so I made it my own. Below is my recipe of how I made my own version of the Lobster Nachos!

If you want the recipe for the drink, go to my post HERE!
