Tokyo Disneyland in Japan kicked off Disney Pal-Palooza “Vanellope’s Sweets Pop World” on April 9, 2026. Ahead of the event, several special menu items and select goods went on sale starting in March.
In this post, we’re reviewing one of those items: the Beef Kalbi Cone (Avocado Mayo & Mashed Potato), available at The Gazebo. With a look that mimics an ice cream cone and a sweet-and-salty flavor profile, it’s a seriously fun park snack.
Beef Kalbi Cone — Quick Overview
Product: Beef Kalbi Cone (Avocado Mayo & Mashed Potato)
Price: ¥750
Where to buy: The Gazebo / Tokyo Disneyland, Adventureland
Available: March 9, 2026 – June 30, 2026
At ¥750, the Beef Kalbi Cone is priced about average for one-handed park food in this category.
It’s sold at The Gazebo in Adventureland, located diagonally across from Pirates of the Caribbean. One thing to watch out for: the shop rarely stays open until park close at 9 PM. It usually wraps up between late afternoon and 7 PM, so plan accordingly.
It’s available throughout the entire Disney Pal-Palooza “Vanellope’s Sweets Pop World” run — through June 30, 2026.
Beef Kalbi Cone — The Full Review
Wait — Is That Ice Cream? (Spoiler: It’s Not.)
The first thing you notice about the Beef Kalbi Cone: it looks exactly like a soft serve.
Inside the ice cream waffle cone is beef kalbi and mashed potato, topped with avocado mayo and cheese sauce. Finished off with colorful crispy bits and edible glitter on top — super photogenic.
The pink cheese sauce and green avocado mayo also happen to match Vanellope’s signature colors, which is a nice touch.
Sweet-Salty Combo That Hits Hard
Now for the actual taste.
The beef kalbi is generously seasoned with a sweet-savory yakiniku-style sauce. “Sweet-savory” here doesn’t mean spicy at all, so kids can dig in too.
Eating it together with the avocado mayo and cheese sauce on top is where it really hits — the rich, creamy mayo and cheese amplify the beef, and it’s outstanding. The occasional crunch from the colorful crispy bits adds a nice bit of texture too.
As for the cone itself: it’s a real ice cream waffle cone, so it’s actually sweet. That dessert-like sweetness pairs perfectly with the salty beef kalbi — a sweet-and-salty combo that’s pretty much addictive.
Pro tip: don’t save the cone for last. Eat it as you go, working through the cone alongside the filling — that’s the best way to enjoy it.
Beneath the beef kalbi is a layer of mashed potato that’s super smooth and tasty. There’s actually a fair amount of it, so eating it together with the meat and avocado mayo on top works really well.
Volume-wise, it’s the perfect size for a snack or a quick bite when you’re feeling slightly hungry — a touch light to count as a full lunch.
Overall Ratings

|---|---|
| Value for Money | 5 |
| Taste | 5 |
| Easy to Eat | 5 |
| Photogenic | 5 |
| Disney Factor | 3.5 |
| Overall | 4.5 |
I gave the overall score 4.5 out of 5 — typical for the park food I review.
Value for money, taste, ease of eating, and photogenic factor are all easy 5s. It’s rare to find a savory park snack this cute and this delicious in the same package. On the Disney factor, there’s no Mickey shape or other obvious Disney detail, but it does use Vanellope’s signature colors for the event — so 3.5 felt right.
It’s the kind of food that works for everyone — from young kids to grandparents — and I highly recommend giving it a try.
