This dim sum, however, is even more elaborate. It's served at the Crystal Lotus restaurant in Hong Kong Disneyland on weekends and holidays. The restaurant urges guests to call in advance to make sure their "Disney Dim Sum" will be cooked to order.

Offerings include vegetable buns that look like Toy Story aliens, red bean dessert buns shaped like Frozen characters, and of course: Mickey Mouse buns.
