When it comes to indulging in tasty treats, there’s no better place than the most magical place on Earth, aka Disney World. And if you’re looking for classic Disney snacks, Magic Kingdom is the place you want to head to.
Whether you’re looking for a refreshing drink, a savory snack, or a sweet treat, this list will guide you to the best snacks at Magic Kingdom.
Grab your appetite and follow along!
Chicken Tenders & Fries
There’s nothing better than a basket of fresh chicken tendies and french fries, especially at Disney World.
Is it basic? Yes. Is it deliciously crispy and hits the spot every time? Also yes.
My tip? Most spots that serve this are available at spots that have mobile order via the My Disney Experience app. Order the kids portion so you have more room for other snacks!
Mickey Pretzel
Sometimes you need something salty and carby – especially after a drink or 2 at The Beak & Barrel in Adventureland.
Enter the classic Mickey Pretzel, a giant Mickey Mouse-shaped pretzel with cheese sauce to dip it in.
For a fun twist, look for the pepper jack or stuffed cream cheese variations!
This classic snack is available at several locations, although they might not have all 3 flavors:
- Cheshire Cafe
- Liberty Square Market
- The Lunching Pad
- Random snack carts scattered throughout the park
Cold Brew Soft Serve Float
Coffee and ice cream lovers, unite! This indulgent float combines creamy soft serve with refreshing cold brew for a perfect mid-day pick-me-up from Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland.
At the moment you can get classic vanilla, chocolate, or caramel, but I’m hoping in the future they add coconut!
Mickey-shaped krispy treat
Treat yourself to your favorite childhood krispy treat, but customize it at Main Street Confectionary.
Personally, I like to add freeze-dried Skittles for a crunchy, colorful kick. But if chocolate is more your thing, you can get them topped with M&Ms or Snickers pieces, instead.
Candied popcorn mix
For something sweet, salty, and endlessly snackable, head to the Main Street Confectionary for candied popcorn mix.
You can choose from preset combos or design your own mix with toppings like M&Ms, Oreos, pretzels, Snickers, sprinkles, chocolate drizzle, and more.
I love to grab a bowl before Starlight Parade or before I leave the park on the first night so I can have a little midnight snack back at my hotel.
Lunar Lemonade
If you love the viral violet lemonade from Epcot’s Flower & Garden Festival, you’ll love Lunar Lemonade. Mainly because it’s pretty much the same thing – except it’s iced instead of frozen and comes in a bigger size than you get at the festival.
This neon violet-colored lemonade is super Instagrammable and perfect for a quick break from running around Magic Kingdom on a hot day.
Head to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe to experience this fabulously frozen drink.
Tropical Serenade Dole Whip Float
It’s not a trip to Magic Kingdom without some Dole Whip!
For a next-level treat, get the Tropical Serenade float, featuring smooth coconut soft-serve in POG juice, a perfectly tangy blend of pineapple, orange, and guava flavors, topped off with a pineapple cake pop.
One sip and you’re instantly transported to Hawaii or Montunui.
You can get this tasty tropical treat from Aloha Isle in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland.
Lefou’s Brew
Lefou’s Brew is a tangy drink that’ll have you singing “Bonjour!” around Fantasyland.
It’s a blend of frozen apple juice topped with a tangy passionfruit-mango foam and it’s perfectly refreshing, especially on a typical hot-n-humid Florida afternoon.
You can find this snack at Gaston’s Tavern, tucked in the backside of Fantasyland, not far from Be Our Guest.
Waffles!
Whether you’re looking for a sweet breakfast or a late night snack the waffle from Sleepy Hollow hits the spot. It’s simple but oh so delightful!
You can get it topped with powdered sugar, berries, or even add some chocolate hazelnut spread (aka generic Nutella).
TIP: If you want something more savory, get the maple-sriracha chicken waffle instead.
Orange-Vanilla Swirl Soft Serve
This swirl of orange and vanilla soft serve is a refreshing treat served in a cup or cone that’s perfect for cooling off during a hot Magic Kingdom visit.
It’s equal parts sweet and tangy and delightfully nostalgic. It reminds me of the creamsicle bars that I used to get from the ice cream truck when I was a kid.
You can snag this yummy snack from Sunshine Terrace.
Peanut Butter Cookie Pie
If you love peanut butter and chocolate combo, this is the treat for you!
This super-thick peanut butter cookie filled with peanut butter chips and topped with chocolate frosting and peanut butter M&Ms.
It is super duper sweet, almost too sweet for one person or at least to eat in one sitting. But that PB-chocolate combo can’t be beat!
Sulley Slush
If you can’t wait til Monstropolis opens at Hollywood Studios opens, this snack is the one for you!
This monstrously good drink is a mix of blue raspberry slush with random dots of purple-tinted whipped cream, just like Sulley from Monster’s Inc! It’s another perfect pick for cooling down before you hit up all the fun rides in Tomorrowland.
Make your way to Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe for this slushy snack.
Tiana’s Famous Beignets
It took Disney far too long to introduce this snack to the parks at Disney World: lightly fried, airy, powdered sugar-coated beignets!
These little bites of New Orleans magic are so good, you’ll feel like you’re dining at Tiana’s Restaurant.
The version they sell at the parks comes with a honey drizzle, but personally I always ask to leave it out and I’ve never felt that I’m missing out on something. So if you’re worried about it being too messy, give it a try!
This comforting snack is available at Golden Oak Outpost in Frontierland.
Candied Bacon Skewer
Savory and sweet fans, here’s your snack of dreams! This bacon-on-a-stick treat is coated in a caramelized sugar glaze that’s crispy, chewy, and completely addictive.
it also comes with a bag of classic Lay’s potato chips, which I usually stash in my purse for later.
You can get this snack at Westward Ho in Frontierland.
Cheeseburger & Pepperoni Pizza Spring Rolls
A cult classic snack at Magic Kingdom are the spring rolls, which come as a basket of 2.
But these spring rolls aren’t your usual flavors. Instead, you can get cheeseburger (with burger sauce) or pepperoni pizza (with marinara sauce). Occasionally they’ll roll out temporary flavors like buffalo chicken or pulled pork, too.
They’re indulgent, greasy, and worth every calorie. Grab these from the snack cart just before the Adventureland on your way to Jungle Cruise or Pirates of the Caribbean.
TIP: Can’t choose which flavor? Ask for 1 of each for no extra charge. You’ll even get 1 of each dipping sauce!
Crème Brûlée Croissant
This decadent treat from Gaston’s Tavern is a flaky, buttery croissant filled with a creamy crème brûlée-flavored custard and topped with caramelized sugar.
It is absolute perfection and well worth the mess you’ll make while eating it.
Watermelon, Cucumber, and Pineapple Cup
If you’re craving something healthy, this refreshing fruit cup is a fantastic choice.
Crisp cucumber, tangy pineapple, and juicy watermelon, all topped with chili sauce and furikake, make for a hydrating snack with a tropical flair.
This snack is available at Energy Bytes, which is a bit hidden, as it’s behind Space Mountain, as you head up to TRON. It’s easy to miss, which is a shame, because they have some great snacks!
Hand-Dipped Corn Dog
Forget the mini corn dogs from Casey’s Corner; the hand-dipped corn dog with homemade chips from Sleepy’s Hollow is IT.
This crispy golden delight is made fresh to order at Sleepy Hollow and is perfect for a quick snack or light meal.
Frozen Mission to ‘Smores Latte
This iced latte is a true pick-me-up, featuring that gooey, chocolaty s’mores flavor everyone loves.
This snack takes the basic frozen cappucino and elevates it to the stratosphere by mixing it with chocolate and marshmallow syrup and topping it with whipped cream, graham cracker dust, and mini marshmallows.
It’s perfect for sipping while waiting in line for Space Mountain or TRON, or immediately after rope-dropping while you head to your next ride.
You can grab it from the Joffrey’s in Tomorrowland, between Space Mountain and PeopleMover.
Ham & Gruyère Toastie
For a savory snack, head to Gaston’s Tavern for the ham and gruyère cheese toastie. It’s like a grilled ham and cheese, except the bread is a croissant and the cheese is fancy-schmancy.
If you’re a Disney adult like me, you might remember that Gaston’s used to have a ham and gruyère flatbread. It was a bit soggy and hard to eat, even with a butter knife to cut it.
This toastie replaces that menu item, and I’m glad because it has the same delicious flavor profile but is so much easier to eat (even if it’s messy).
