Walt Disney World has added patriotic beignets as part of its America 250 festivities.

The big picture: The Mickey Mouse-shaped beignets are dusted in cinnamon sugar, drizzled in marshmallow sauce, and served with apple pie filling, according to the menu.

They are available at Disney's Port Orleans Resort in Florida.
What do you think — fun or heresy?

Another option: Disney now sells banana caramel beignets next to its New Orleans-themed ride, Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

Zoom out: Disney will be in New Orleans this week for Essence Fest.

The entertainment company is hosting a world premiere of Season 4 of "The Proud Family: Louder and Prouder" and is hosting a panel discussion with the cast members of FX's "The Drop: A Snowfall Saga."
