Best Snacks at Disney World Worth Trying

Disney World is a fabulous spot for a foodie vacation, especially with its food-centric festivals at Epcot, like the Flower & Garden Festival and Food & Wine Festival.

With so many delicious options, it can be hard to decide what to spend money or snack credits on.

Don’t worry – I got you!

Across all my trips at Disney World, my family and I have snacked our little hearts out to tell you what’s worth it and what’s not.

In this post, I’ll talk about the absolute best snacks at Disney World, across all of the parks, resorts, and entertainment districts.

This list has a little something for everyone – sweet, savory, salty, tart, and delightful combos of these flavor profiles.

Black caf cold brew

If you need a jolt of caffeine, whether it be during rope drop or after an afternoon nap, the black caf cold brew from Kat Saka’s Kettle in Hollywood Studios’ Galaxy’s Edge will definitely hit the spot.

This delicious Joffrey’s cold brew iced coffee is topped with cream cheese cold foam and Cocoa Puffs. 

Yes, it sounds weird – but just trust me on this one! It was such a hit at Disneyland that they finally brought it over to Disney World.

Caramel & candy apples

Personally I’m not a huge fan of candy apples or caramel apples, but my sister is!

Whether you get them covered in chocolate, wrapped in red hard candy, or smothered in caramel, you’re bound to get something that is yummy AND super Instagram worthy. 

One thing I do love about candy apples at Disney World is that they often change up the designs for the season and for special occasions. 

For example, pumpkins with Mickey ears, Minnie with red and green polka dots, snowflakes, or even themed to the latest Disney movie release.

Lunchbox tart

If you grew up always begging your parents for sticky, sugary Pop Tarts, this is the snack for you. Lunchbox Tarts are basically a fancy version of your fave childhood snack.

The shell is more pastry-like than cookie, but still has crunch, while the filling is even jammy-er and the frosting-like topping is the same candy-like texture.

You can get this snack at Woody’s Lunchbox in Hollywood Studios’ Toy Story Land. Usually you’ll find the classic raspberry option on the menu, alongside a seasonal flavor.

Chicken tenders & fries

Another classic snack that would be a crime not to include on this list is crispy chicken tenders and fries. Emphasis on the crispy!

Unlike many other theme parks or resorts, the tendies here actually are crispy and crunchy, whereas others come out limp and soggy. 

TIP: To save room for other snacks, mobile order a kids portion. It comes with 2 tenders and 2 sides, which you can usually choose between fries, a cutie mandarin, and a yogurt.

Nomad Lounge churros

For a light, yet delicious snack, I recommend churros. Churros are a crunchy, lightly fried dough snack cut into sticks and covered with cinnamon and sugar. 

You can often get them at Disney World with other topping options, like Nutella or rose gold sugar.

However, there is one spot that has churros that are absolutely out of this world and far better than any other place at Disney World with churros: Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom. 

At Nomad Lounge, the churros come with both vanilla and chocolate dipping sauces, plus you can relax on the outdoor patio, listening to nature, along with a cocktail.

Gideon’s Bakehouse cookies

These giant chocolate chip cookies hail from Orlando bakery called Gideon’s Bakehouse.

They are so massive that they explicitly state on their menu that the cookie should be split by at least 2 people.

While they used to be sold at The Polite Pig in Disney Springs, they are no longer available because Gideon’s has opened a Disney Springs location!

Located in The Landing on the opposite side of Morimoto Asia, head to this bakery early on if you want to grab a specific flavor as they go FAST!

Also, most days they operate using a virtual queue.

You just go up to the attendant by the entrance and ask to be placed in the queue and they’ll advise on how long the wait is.

Once a spot opens up, you’ll get a text message advising that you can join the physical line.

The last time I went, the wait time was going to be at least 1 hour (not including waiting in the physical line), so unfortunately I had to skip it.

In other words, if you really, really want one, head straight there and add your name to the list so you don’t miss out.

Cupcakes

It’s hard to call out an individual cupcake flavor, as there are so many delicious flavors available across all of the parks and resorts at Disney World. 

But if you’re looking for something sugary sweet, you can’t go wrong with a classic cupcake! 

Here are a few of my favorite spots to get cupcakes at Disney World:

1. Animal Kingdom: Creature Comforts and Zuri’s Sweets Shop
2. Epcot: Karamell-Küche and Sunshine Seasons
3. Hollywood Studios: Rosie’s All American Cafe and Trolley Car Cafe
4. Magic Kingdom: Main Street Confectionary
5. Disney Springs: Erin McKenna’s Bakery and Sprinkles 

TIP: Many of the Disney resorts have a resort-themed cupcake at their food court!

Crispy spring rolls

The Spring Rolls at Magic Kingdom are not your ordinary spring roll. These are made in classic American flavors and deep-fried to a crispy golden crunchy shell and come with a dipping sauce.

Currently the 2 flavors offered are cheeseburger and pepperoni pizza. However, sometimes they will offer special flavors, such as pulled pork, during events like Mickey’s Not So Scary Halloween Party.

You can get this delicious snack at a cart set up just outside the main entrance for Adventureland in Magic Kingdom.

Everglazed donuts & cold brew iced coffee

I love me a sweet and sugary donut paired with an iced cold brew coffee or latte!

While donuts can be found at many food kiosks throughout the parks and resorts, Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew in Disney Springs is the top spot.

At Everglazed Donuts & Cold Brew you can get classic and fancy schmancy donuts, as well as a variety of coffees and lattes, like the Purple Reign iced chai and purple ube glazed donut pictured above.

Sandwiches, fries, spiked coffee, flavored milk, and soft drinks are also available at this new Disney Springs restaurant.

Fish & chips

Over at the Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the UK pavilion at Epcot, you can get a perfectly golden fried fish and chips in a basket.

The fried coating on the fish is perfectly crispy without getting soggy, with a slightly sweet flavor (but not overly so). 

My favorite way to enjoy this snack is with a little bit of malt vinegar on the chips in the outdoor seating to the right of this quick service spot. It’s right along the World Showcase Lagoon and a step down from foot traffic, so it’s a bit quieter than most dining areas.

Salt & Straw ice cream

There are many places you can get ice cream or gelato at Disney World, but one place stands out: Salt & Straw in Disney Springs.

This popular spot is a chain originating from Portland, Oregon that features unique flavors that challenge your tastebuds. In addition, they have both a classic menu and a seasonal menu.

Some classic flavors include strawberry honey balsamic with black pepper (a personal fave), guava and cheese donut (another personal fave!), and chocolate gooey brownie.

As for the seasonal flavors, I’ve seen some wild options, like chocolate chip zucchini bread, mince pie with pecan crust, smoked mac & cheese, Parker House rolls with salted buttercream, and turkey stuffing with cranberry sauce.

In my opinion, part of the fun in trying snacks all around Disney World is to go outside my comfort zone to try something new. So even if the season flavors sound a bit wacky to you, I encourage you to give one a try.

Lefou’s Brew

Head to Fantasyland in Magic Kingdom for this icy drink that’s perfect on a hot day: Lefou’s Brew.

This refreshing drink is apple juice with marshmallow flavor with passion fruit and mango foam on top – Starbucks, look out!

For an extra cost, you can get Lefou’s Brew in a souvenir mug similar to the one seen in the animated classic, Beauty and the Beast, during the Gaston musical scene.

Mickey crisped rice treats

One of my all time favorite snacks at Disney World are Mickey crisped rice treats. Or as we all call them rice krispy treats, even if they aren’t actually made with Rice Krispy cereal.

I always get a few at Goofy’s Candy Co in Disney Springs on my last day there to take home with me.

It’s a great way to use up snack credits if you have any left over from the Disney Dining Plan.

At Goofy’s Candy Co in Disney Springs, you can get your Mickey Krispy Treats decorated with your favorite toppings, like M&Ms, sprinkles, chocolate, white chocolate, and more.

I love that I can customize them to include the candies or sweets I’m craving at the time!

This snack is available at many quick service and snack spots aside from Goofy’s Candy Co, such as Main Street Confectionary and most resort dining halls.

Zebra domes

For this snack, you’ll need to head outside the parks to The Mara at Animal Kingdom Lodge. But trust me, it’s worth it!

Zebra domes are white chocolates stuffed with chocolate mousse mixed with Amarula Cream liquor and topped with chocolate stripes. They are sold in a pack of 4, making it perfect for sharing or taking back to your resort room for a midnight snack.

POG slushy

Another delicious snack at The Mara in Animal Kingdom Lodge is the POG slush. This frozen drink blends the flavors of passionfruit, orange, and guava into a very refreshing snack. 

I will usually grab one of these and head outside to see if I can spot any animals, like giraffes and zebras, out on the savanna.

Mickey ice cream sandwich

Another classic snack at Disney World is the Mickey-shaped ice cream sandwich. My niece loves these (as you can tell from the photo above)! 

This snack is pretty simple: vanilla ice cream sandwiched between two soft chocolate cookies, all in the shape of Mickey Mouse.

You can find Mickey ice cream sandwiches at nearly every snack stand that serves ice cream, so they aren’t hard to find, either. 

Carrot cake cookie

One of my favorite snacks at Hollywood Studios is the carrot cake cookie. It’s more of a carrot cake-flavored whoopie pie, given that the “cookie” portion is more cake-like. But either way, this snack is filling and packed with flavor. 

You can get this delicious snack at the Trolley Car Cafe.

Mickey premium ice cream bar

One of my sisters’ favorite snack at Disney World is the classic Mickey premium ice cream bar. It’s simple, but refreshing, especially on a hot day, and not overly sweet. 

The best part is that now you can buy them at your local grocery store, too! 

They are a bit pricey compared to similar ice cream bars at the grocery store. But when you’re craving something Disney or have a special occasion to celebrate, I think they are worth the price.

Violet lemonade

One of the most popular snacks at Epcot is the violet lemonade – partially thanks to its tart but refreshing flavor but also thanks to its Instagrammability.

This frozen drink combines the flavors of tart desert pear and earthy wild violet. The only downside? It’s only available during the Epcot Flower & Garden Festival.

For a similar drink, head to Cosmic Ray’s at Magic Kingdom for the lunar lemonade. It’s not frozen and is missing the earthy violet, but it’s equally as refreshing in my opinion.

Mickey pretzels

When I need something a little salty or savory, I go for the iconic Mickey Mouse shaped pretzel.

It’s soft, it’s carb-y, it’s a little bit salty, which is exactly what you need sometimes.

The Mickey pretzel is even better with some cheese dip that I don’t think is actually cheese (but it’s still tasty and comforting, and that’s all I care about).

Mickey-shaped beignets

Tiana fans – this one’s for you! 

Did you know you can get Mickey Mouse shaped beignets, similar to the ones Tiana makes in Princess & the Frog, at Disney World?

These delicious bite-sized snacks are very similar to fried dough, but with more pockets of air in the middle, and are served warm with powdered sugar on top.

The bad side? You can’t get these delicious beignets at the parks, so you’ll have to stay at or make the trek to Port Orleans – French Quarter if you want a taste. 

The beignets are available at Scat Cat’s Club at the Port Orleans – French Quarter resort.

Here’s to hoping they expand availability of this snack in the future!

Night Blossom & Rum Blossom

I love to grab one of these tart slushies at Pongu Pongu before popping into line for Flights of Passage or the Na’vi River Journey. 

The Night Blossom is super refreshing, especially with the boba that bursts in your mouth with a tart passion fruit liquid.

Plus, if you want a bit of a kick, you can get the Rum Blossom, which is just the Night Blossom with rum added to it!

Norwegian school bread

Norwegian school bread is another long time favorite snack for Disney World guests. It’s a cardamom bun stuffed with custard and topped with coconut. 

It is absolutely divine – very sweet, a teeny bit spicy from the cardamom, and a very light crunch from the coconut.

You can get School Bread from Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe at Epcot’s Norway pavilion.

Viking coffee & Kristofff kaffe

Another frozen, slushy drink to make this list of the best snacks at Disney World is Viking coffee, also known as Kristoff kaffe when ordered without alcohol.

Kristoff Kaffe is frozen coffee with coffee-chocolate sauce topped with chocolate crunch, while Viking Coffee mixes in Baileys Irish cream liqueur and Kamora coffee liqueur.

No matter which version you order, this drink is refreshing with a bit of a caffeine boost. You can get this at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in Epcot’s Norway pavilion.

Hand-dipped corn dog

Another personal favorite snack at Disney World is the hand-dipped corn dog from Sleepy Hollow at Magic Kingdom.

This classic corn dog snack is lightyears better than the mini corn dogs at Casey’s Corner, as it’s freshly fried with a sweet batter coating and served with crispy, salty, handmade potato chips.

I also love that it’s easy to get thanks to mobile order via the My Disney Experience app.

Petite cakes from Amorette’s Patisserie

If you’re celebrating something special while at Disney World, I highly recommend stopping by Amorette’s Patisserie in Disney Springs for a petite cake. 

These gorgeous cakes are elaborately decorated to an ever-changing list of Disney themes – princesses, Wandavision, Soul, and Princess & the Frog to name a few.

Check out their Instagram page to check out the themes they have available during your visit.

Candied bacon skewer

I feel like this snack doesn’t get enough recognition – and not enough people know about it!

This super-thick slab of candied bacon is served on a stick with a bag of classic potato chips. Frankly, I think they should sell it without the chips (and maybe lower the price a tad), but that doesn’t take away from its deliciousness. 

You can find this snack at the Westward Ho snack shack in Magic Kingdom’s Frontierland.

Pineapple Dole whip

The one, the only, the iconic pineapple Dole whip! This soft serve ice cream is a long time favorite of Disney fans. 

Part of the allure of this loved-by-many snack at Disney World used to be that you could only get it at Disney World, Disneyland, and Hawaii. 

But over the years, pineapple Dole whip has started to pop up all over the US, likely due to its popularity at the Disney parks.

For example, in my home city of Boston, Citrus & Salt has boozy pineapple Dole whip on its dessert menu. 

Chicken potstickers

I absolutely love potstickers, but especially the ones from Mr. Kamal’s in Animal Kingdom. These chicken potstickers are fried to a crisp and served with ponzu sauce with green onion.

I love to grab an order of these and then head to the hidden seating area along the Discovery River to the left of Mr. Kamal’s. If you’re lucky, you’ll get a front-row seat to the musicians who often float by on flotillas.

Corn on the cob with African spices

For a healthier snack, go for the corn on the cob with African Spices, available at Harambe Market.

This savory snack used to be available at the Harambe Fruit Market, but around 2024, they swapped to premade corn, rather than freshly grilled.

Most people assumed this was a cost-cutting change, but in Summer 2025, it moved over to the larger Harambe Market and is once again freshly grilled.

Now, technically you can get this snack without the spices. But frankly, the spices are what make this a standout snack, so I highly recommend ordering as is.

Ronto wraps

One of my newest favorite snacks are the Ronto Wraps from Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Hollywood Studios.

In the morning, you can get them with a little eggs and cheddar cheese added to the pork sausage wrap, making quite the hearty breakfast.

But the OG is my favorite – pork sausage, tangy slaw, roasted pork, and peppercorn sauce in a pita bread wrap. 

You can get a ronto wrap at Ronto Roasters, as well as Docking Bay 7 Food and Cargo. Just be sure to check hours, as Ronto Roasters often closes in the afternoon.

Candied popcorn mix

You can’t go wrong with popcorn at Disney World!

Whether you get a paper bag filled with fresh popped popcorn, a pre-filled take-home bag in a variety of flavors, or a keepsake popcorn bucket filled to the brim, your tastebuds will thank you.

This treat can be found pretty much anywhere at the Disney World theme parks, so you won’t have to hunt for it. 

If you’re interested in trying fun flavors outside of the usual butter, kettle corn or cheddar, head to Epcot’s World Showcase.

At Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion you can get Werther’s caramel popcorn. At the Canada pavilion popcorn stand, you can get maple-flavored popcorn.

However, my favorite way to enjoy popcorn at Disney World is candied popcorn from Main Street Confectionary. There are multiple flavor combos to choose from, but you can also customize it to your liking.

Vegan & gluten free snacks at Disney World

If you’re vegan or gluten-free and want in on the snack party, head to Erin McKenna’s Bakery in Disney Springs.

All of the pastries and treats at Erin McKenna’s Bakery are vegan, gluten-free! Plus, they use non-GMO ingredients and they are certified Kosher. 

NOTE: While their treats are also soy-free, some of their ingredients are processed in facilities that also handle soy products, so there is a slight chance of cross-contamination with soy.

Epcot festival snacks

Last but not least, one of the best places to continuously try new snacks is Epcot during a festival (Arts, Flower & Garden, Food & Wine, and Holidays).

And given that there’s almost always a festival running, chances are super high that you’ll be able to try a limited-edition snack from one of the festival booths.

Just head to Epcot during any festival and grab a festival guide (or check out the posts linked above) and pick out a few snacks to try.

You’ll find something savory, sweet, salty, umami, crispy, hot, cold… you get the idea. Whatever you’re craving, you’ll find something to satisfy it.
