As a big fan of Disney AND all things food, we thought it was time for a comprehensive snack blog for all things Walt Disney World has to offer. Besides the exciting attractions and amazing shows, there is another aspect that will make your Disney experience unforgettable: the food! From well-known snack classics, to the lesser-known toppers: in this blog, I'll take you through all the parks and their iconic snacks.
Let me begin in Magic Kingdom with perhaps the king(s) of Walt Disney World snacks: the Dole Whip Float. This is a classic Disney snack that you should definitely try; a fresh combination of pineapple ice cream and pineapple juice that you can cool off with. You can find it at Aloha Isle in Adventureland.
At Chesire Café in Fantasyland you will find the Pepper Jack Pretzel. This soft pretzel is stuffed with a spicy cheese and served with a jalapeno cream cheese dip. Spicy, but tremendously delicious!
Speaking of classic Disney snacks: the Cheeseburger Spring Roll should not be missed, of course. These spring rolls are filled with cheeseburger filling and are perfect if you're craving something savory. You can find them at the Egg Roll Wagon at the entrance to Adventureland.
Popcorn: maybe a simple snack, but really from another level in Magic Kingdom. When you walk on Main Street USA you can already smell the delicious buttery smell.
As you walk out of Tron Lightcycle Run, you walk past Energy Bytes. Here you will find, among other things, the Watermelon Refresher: a refreshing drink (perfect for Orlando temperatures) with crackle! It's a little sweet and sour, and great for walking through Tomorrowland with.
One of the best things about snacks in Walt Disney World is combining flavors. For years, a perennial snack tip: the Coconut Cup from Aloha Isle combine with churros from one of the carts in Frontierland.
LeFou's Brew: This drink is a must-try, especially if you are a fan of Beauty and the Beast. It is a mix of apple cider, marshmallow and a hint of cinnamon. You can find it at Gaston's Tavern in Fantasyland.
For snacks in EPCOT you mainly have to be in World Showcase. Here they serve the most delicious things from different countries.
Likewise Kakigori: Japanese shaved ice. This is a perfect treat on a hot day. It comes in several flavors, such as strawberry, mango and green tea and you can find it at Kabuki Cafe in the Japan Pavilion.
I often get a delicious (but mighty) start to the day at the Norway Pavilion. Schoolbread is a bun filled with custard, and surrounded by coconut.
Pretzel Bread Pudding is the perfect combination between sweet and savory. Made with pretzel, this bread pudding is served warm with caramel and vanilla sauce. Enormously delicious! You can get these at the Germany Pavilion.
Where I always check out in EPCOT is Figment's Inspiration Station at the Odyssey in World Celebration. Here they always have unique and seasonal snacks such as Rainbow Cake with skittles.
There is nothing finer than walking through a sun-drenched Animal Kingdom with Cinnamon-glazed Almonds in hand. Covered in a sweet cinnamon glaze, these almonds are a perfect snack to take with you. Buy them at the beginning of your day at Drinkwallah in Asia, and you'll have something tasty with you all day!
If you have a sweet tooth, I would recommend the Pongu Lumpia recommend. These are spring rolls filled with pineapple cream cheese, and again, the combination of sweet and savory comes together nicely. You can find them in Pandora - The World of Avatar.
It's hype now, but this is the tastiest as far as I'm concerned: Honey Pistachio Croissant. This croissant is filled with honey pistachio cream, making it a perfect breakfast or afternoon snack. In the Africa section, you can score these at Tamu Tamu Refreshments in Africa.
While you're there; go for the Pineapple Crisp Sundae. The sundae (consisting of pineapple cake, vanilla ice cream, pineapple caramel and a crunchy topping) is delicious, cooling, but also very filling.
Last in Animal Kingdom, but certainly not the least: right before the entrance to Dinoland you have Eight Spoon Café. Here you can Mac ‘N Cheese fetch with Pulled Pork. To lick your fingers!
As you've noticed, I love the combination of savory and sweet immensely, and the following tip is another one of those. In Disney's Hollywood Studios you can find at Ice Cold Hydraulics the Bouncin’ Mini Churros fetch. These are churros, with ‘candied bacon’ and sriracha aioli.
Furthermore, the Ronto Wrap of course not missing: This wrap comes in two varieties and both are delicious! The breakfast variety is with egg and cheddar, and the lunch/dinner variety with extra meat and coleslaw. This is the perfect snack right before you get into Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance goes!
Equally important are the snacks in Disney Springs and the various resorts of Walt Disney World. One of the most important tips is that you should not get your beignets in the park, but at Scat Cat's Club in Port Orleans - French Quarter. These are the best Beignets throughout Walt Disney World. They are freshly made and most delicious with just powdered sugar.
Speaking of hotels: Yacht & Beach Club Resort should not be forgotten. At their iconic Beaches & Cream Soda Shop, you can get the Kitchen Sink order: the largest amount of ice cream you can order in one sitting in all of Walt Disney World. The Kitchen Sink is literally a sink filled with all sorts of flavors of scoop ice cream, topped off with all the toppings you can think of! From sweet cherries and bananas to whole pieces of brownie and topped off with way too much whipped cream: delicious!
In Disney Springs, I want the Poutine recommend. This one you get at The Daily Poutine and is a combination of fries, cheese and gravy. This sounds a little cheesy, but trust me: you want this!
Not from Disney itself: but tremendously delicious: Chicken Guy! This restaurant serves (as the name implies) chicken, but it's not really about that. At Chicken Guy, they have tons of different sauces that you'll want to try all of them. So my tip: share some chicken strips with your party, and try as many sauces as you can.
We started this snack tip with it, and we're going to end with it too! In Disney Springs, one of the places where you can get the Dole Whip Sampler is at Swirls on the Water: a tasting meet different Dole Whips! In fact, there are a huge number of flavors and variations, and with the sampler you can taste as many as 3.
These are just some of the many snacks you can find at Walt Disney World. Want to try even more? With the Disney Dining Plan action you enjoy free food and drinks for much of the year! So you can enjoy all the goodies in and around the parks for a bargain.
