Minnie Mouse, along with her B.F.F. Daisy Duck & Cuckoo-Loca have decided to venture into the food truck business! This app is designed for young children and is free to download, but does include in-app purchases.

NDK loves Minnie Mouse, so we downloaded this app right away. Within minutes, she was able to figure out how to run Minnie’s Smoothie operation in no time. In exploring the app, she navigated the area that Minnie’s Food Truck *could* drive to, provided that I bought the in-app purchases to visit the campground & the Farmer’s Market. The purchases are inexpensive ($1.99 each or both for $2.99).
The Smoothie Station is lots of fun. When the Food Truck is beach side, guests approach with their orders, and then you whip up some crazy concoctions! Try not putting the top on the blender before you mix up your smoothie – that is sure to earn a few giggles from your little one! The more you create, the more ingredients you unlock.
Generally, in our home, I do not make in-app purchases. But, NDK did find a way to talk me into allowing her to “earn” the purchase so she could continue the Food Truck adventure.
The app is available now on Apple’s App Store for free. Additionally, through August 28, select Disney Junior apps are on sale, including apps featuring Sofia the First, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Doc McStuffins, and more! Visit the Disney Junior sale room on the App Store to view the full selection.
