No Disney trip is complete without indulging in some of the iconic Disney snacks scattered across the parks. But with so many treats to choose from, it can be a challenge to pick the ones truly worth the splurge.
Here’s a guide to the best snacks to try—and a few you might consider skipping—for an unforgettable Disney snacking experience!
Magic Kingdom
Skip: Disney Popcorn
While Disney popcorn is a classic and available at every Disney park, including at the iconic hub near Cinderella Castle, there’s another popcorn option that offers a little more flavor and excitement. The regular popcorn is affordable, but if you’re looking for something special, it’s worth trying a more unique option.
Eat: Candied Popcorn at Main Street Confectionery
Head to the Main Street Confectionery on Main Street, U.S.A., where you’ll find the Kernel Kitchen—a delightful spot to customize your candied popcorn. At the counter, you can choose popcorn coated in a delicious syrup with two toppings for $12.99 or add an extra topping for $1.
With unique flavors and mix-ins, it’s a step up from the classic popcorn cart and a perfect treat to enjoy while strolling through Magic Kingdom.
EPCOT
Skip: Gelato from Gelateria Toscana
Located in the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT’s World Showcase, Gelateria Toscana serves a variety of gelato, sorbet, and Italian desserts. While it’s a great spot for authentic Italian flavors, there’s another nearby ice cream snack in EPCOT that tends to steal the show.
Eat: Brioche Ice Cream Sandwich at L’Artisan des Glaces
Just a short walk from Italy, the France Pavilion is home to L’Artisan des Glaces, an ice cream shop that’s beloved for its Croque Glace, a warm brioche ice cream sandwich. For $9.50, you get a generous scoop of ice cream or sorbet nestled in a brioche bun with your choice of sauce, creating a unique and indulgent treat that’s crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. If you’re craving something smaller, try the macaron ice cream sandwich for a taste of French decadence.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
Skip: Lunch Box Tart at Woody’s Lunch Box
Woody’s Lunch Box in Toy Story Land is a popular spot for quick bites, including Lunch Box Tarts in flavors like chocolate-hazelnut and raspberry. While these homemade pop-tart-inspired treats are fun, there’s another sweet snack at Hollywood Studios that offers even more flavor and indulgence.
Eat: Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie at Pixar Place
For the ultimate chocolate chip cookie experience, visit Pixar Place’s Neighborhood Bakery and grab Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie. Warm, gooey, and perfectly sized for sharing (or enjoying solo!), this cookie is $6.19 and offers a delicious mix of crispy edges and a soft, chocolatey center.
It’s a must-try treat for anyone who loves a good chocolate chip cookie with a Disney twist.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
Skip: Pork Egg Rolls from Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes
Yak & Yeti Local Food Cafes in Asia serves up Pork Egg Rolls, which make for a tasty, savory snack option. However, if you’re looking for something with a bit more unique Disney flair, there’s another roll at Disney’s Animal Kingdom that we recommend.
Eat: Pongu Lumpia at Pandora – The World of Avatar
Head over to Pongu Pongu in Pandora to try the Pongu Lumpia, a sweet spring roll filled with pineapple and cream cheese. This unique treat is perfect as a dessert or afternoon snack and is available all day, starting at 7:30 a.m. The combination of fruity sweetness and creamy filling is perfect for anyone looking to try something different in the Animal Kingdom.
Disney Springs
Skip: Goofy’s Candy Co. Cookies
At Goofy’s Candy Co. in Disney Springs, you’ll find giant Mickey cookies and other treats that make for great souvenirs. While these treats are fun, there’s a nearby spot in Disney Springs that’s famous for its cookies and worth the extra trip.
Eat: Gideon’s Bakehouse Cookies
For cookie lovers, Gideon’s Bakehouse in The Landing at Disney Springs is a must-visit. Known for its half-pound cookies loaded with flavors, Gideon’s Bakehouse has become a fan favorite, with offerings like chocolate chip, pistachio toffee, and other creative flavors.
Though there might be a line, the wait is well worth it for a cookie that’s soft, chewy, and unlike any other.
