Top Ten Walt Disney World Park Snacks
Today we are talking about something that has been HIGHLY requested and is one of our favorite things to talk about…food! We are chatting all about our own personal top ten favorite snacks at the Walt Disney World Parks! Everything we talk about should be available year round (at least at the time of this writing) so no seasonal treats or festival specific offerings, and everything mentioned can be found in one of the four Walt Disney World Parks. If we had included all of the resorts and Disney Springs the list woule be never ending! But you never know what we might discuss in the future so be sure to let us know if you want a top ten list of snacks from the resorts or Disney Springs! You can comment below or reach out to us on Instagram, @disneyvillepodcast! Now without further ado, let’s get into it!
Jessica’s Top Ten
You are absolutely going to want to share this one! It’s very rich and sweet but something about it is SO good!
#10 - Wookie Cookie
This cookie can be found at Backlot Express in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. It’s two sweet oatmeal cookies with a rich cream filling sandwiched in between the two and decorated with a chocolate Wookie belt. Now it’s very rich, we definitely needed some milk when we tried it and we didn’t love it instantly when we did try it but…I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it!
#9 - Caramel Corn
I think people sleep on this one! You can find the Caramel Corn at Karamell-Küche in the Germany pavilion at EPCOT and it’s sweet, salty and perfect to take with you and snack while you walk around the park.
#8 - Seven Dwarf’s Ice Cream Cone
These can be found at Storybook Treats in Magic Kingdom and they rotate through the character they showcase. It’s a soft serve swirl ice cream decorated with a little buckle and a white chocolate medallion with an image of whichever dwarf is being featured. It’s very cute and if you’re getting an ice cream anyways, why not make it cute?
#7 - Pongu Lumpia
This snack can be found at Pongu Pongu in Pandora at Animal Kingdom. I had gone to get a Night Blossom, which is a drink that I had heard tons of hype about and is delicious! But the Pongu Lumpia is almost like a crepe with cream cheese and pineapple filling rolled up and dusted with sugar. It’s so so good and so different than any other snacks you find in Disney Parks.
“No one spits like Gaston, matches wits like Gaston!” And apparently no one makes a cinnamon roll like him either!
#6 - Cinnamon Roll
This can be found at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom. It’s a traditional cinnamon roll but…I saw a photo of this recently and I completely forgot that they FULLY cover this roll in icing which is a make or break for me. I don’t want a dry cinnamon roll, I need a good amount of topping!
#5 - Caramel Ginger Ice Cream
This ice cream is from Lotus Blossom in the China Pavilion in EPCOT and we haven’t had it for years but it is on the list to revist when we go back to Disney next! They serve them in prepackaged cups rather than hand scooping them but don’t let that deter you, if you like ginger this is the most unique and delicious flavor combination!
#4 - Troll Horn
Tyler makes fun of me for my love of these desserts because there isn’t much to them but I love them. You can find these treats at Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in the Norway Pavilion at EPCOT. This is a simple dessert, a pastry filled with a sweet cream. But they really are one of my favorite things at Disney!
#3 - Quiche
I love this quiche at Les Halles in France at EPCOT. Whether you want to try a Florentine Quiche or Quiche Lorraine, you won’t be dissapointed. They are delicious!
#2 - Mr Kamal’s Seasoned Fries
These fries can be found at Mr Kamal’s in Animal Kingdom and they are perfectly seasoned, crisp and yummy! The best part of these fries though is that they are served with a couple of different dips that just bring it to the next level!
#1 - Spring Rolls
You can find these at the Spring Roll Cart in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom. The flavor that is super popular and hyped up is the cheeseburger roll but there is usually another flavor as well. We’ve previously had a limited edition one filled with pastrami that was delicous.
Tyler’s Top Ten
#10 - Peanut Butter and Jelly Shake
This shake from 50’s Prime Time Cafe in Disney’s Hollywood Studios can actually be found at the Tune In Lounge as well which I just discovered! I don’t know what magic they do but this shake truly tastes just like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich which might not sound good but it is amazing!
Sweet or savoury? Spoiler, you don’t actually have to choose! You can have it all!
#9 - Cinnamon Roll
As mentioned above , this cinnamon roll is found in Magic Kingdom at Gastons Tavern. It’s MASSIVE and you can get it warmed and it’s so good! It’s a classic cinnamon roll but they do it really well.
#8 - Pepper Jack Pretzel
This pretzel is elusive! It’s in a different place all the time! The first time I had it was at the Lunching Pad in Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom, then next time there was one in Harambe Market in Animal Kingdom, and for a little while it was at the pretzel cart by Rock N' Roller Coaster in Hollywood Studios and now most recently it can be found at the Chesire Cafe in Magic Kingdom (as of the time of this writing). It’s not an incredibly spicy pretzel, just a little kick but it’s delicious and if you find it, get it!
#7 - Chicken Dumplings
These fried chicken dumplings are found at Mr Kamal’s in Animal Kingdom and they are so good. I’d almost call them more like a wonton than a dumpling but regardless of what you call it, they are delicious.
#6 - Crepes
I love any of the crepes, savoury or sweet, from Le Creperie in the France Pavilion at EPCOT. They have a walk up window with four or five sweet and four or five savoury crepes and we’ve tried a ton of them. They are all delicious! You can also visit the restaurant but there are standing tables by the walk up window.
#5 - Quiche
In Les Halles in France in EPCOT you can find a variety of sandwiches, desserts and of course, quiche! This quiche is one of my all time favorite things and it’s the crust that does it for me. It’s so delicious, buttery and flaky, I wish I knew how to replicate it! There are a few flavor choices and any of them are good.
These spring rolls are hands down the BEST snack on Walt Disney World property!
#4 - Coffee
I will pick any coffee from anywhere in any Disney park. Joffrey’s, Starbucks, it doesn’t matter. If I’m going to pick one thing to take with me around a Disney park all day it will be a coffee!
#3 - Ice Cream
There are plenty of places for ice cream BUT this particular one that earned my number three spot is the ice cream from L’Artisan des Glaces in France in EPCOT! There is something so special and delicious about this particular ice cream. While the ice cream you can find on Main Street is very good, this one is just a step up!
#2 - Corn Dog Nuggets
These are a top tier snack for me and can be found at Casey’s Corner on Main Street in Magic Kingdom. We’ve had the regular hot dogs here and weren’t a huge fan, the corn dogs are pretty good but the corn dog nuggets are just a TOP TIER food! I could honestly go to Disney and just eat those.
#1 - Spring Rolls
As Jess mentioned above, you can find these at the Spring Roll Cart in Adventureland in Magic Kingdom. I think that a lot of times snacks get really hyped up and then they never quite live up to it but this is one snack that honestly exceeded the hype. They. Are. So. Good.
Now for a few things that did NOT make our list that may surprise you…
No matter which park we’re in Joffrey’s coffee is a must and totally counts as a snack right?
Dole Whip. We like Dole Whip but it’s not something we go out of our way to get. It’s a bit too sweet and too much for us.
Churros. We usually do get a churro every trip but they are never as good as we want them to be. Now if you’re in Disneyland in California…those churros are objectively and factually better. They always seem fresher and better!
Pickle. This is a big one especially for Disneyland people and it’s fascinating because the people that love them really love them!
Mickey Ice Cream Bar. This treat is nostalgic and it’s cute but it really is just a chocolate dipped ice cream bar at the end of the day and while it’s good, it’s not something we go out of our way for.
Popcorn. If we have this or someone in our group wants popcorn we might get it but in the realm of other snacks at Disney there are so many other things we’d rather get.
Chesire Cat Tail. We both tried this and were really disappointed in. It was so hyped up but when we got it, it was really dry and stale! But we might try it again and give it a second chance because it’s super popular!
Caramel Apples. These are so cute, they’re so well decorated but they are a nightmare to eat. They’re sticky, messy and hard to eat so it’s a pass for us every single time.
Turkey Leg. This one grosses both of us out. We’ve never ordered it and likely never will. They don’t look good and everyone we’ve known who has tried it says they aren’t that good so we’re not sure why they continue to sell them!
Cheeseburger Bao Buns. We loved these for a long time but they’ve changed them now and the ratio of filling to dough has been changed so it’s now mostly dough and totally not worth it in our opinion.
Ronto Wraps. We tried a regular ronto wrap and it was only fine. But everyone talks about the breakfast wrap being SO good but we are never there early enough to try it.
