The magic of a Disney vacation can be overwhelming, especially when faced with the hundreds of treats available across four theme parks. Trust me, I understand. Forget about all of the unbearable searching and disappointing snacks. I did all of that for you — tasting, ranking, and debating — to bring you the final list: The 10 best snacks in Disney World that are worth your time and especially your money. The following list of snacks will elevate your next vacation from great to truly unforgettable.

1. Cheeseburger Spring Rolls — Adventureland Spring Roll Cart

When you’re at Magic Kingdom, something you DEFINITELY need to try are the cheeseburger spring rolls. This is a mouthwatering Americanized dish that will have you craving it after your trip.

The roll has a classic cheeseburger taste with beef, tangy pickle, and perfectly melted cheese, all wrapped up in a crispy spring roll wrapping. The spring roll comes with a side of its iconic burger dipping sauce, similar to the classic McDonald’s burger sauce,  composed of ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard, according to Grilled Cheese Social.

2. Dole Whip — Aloha Isle

You cannot go to Disney World without a classic pineapple Dole Whip. This is a creamy dessert involving a pineapple soft-serve. This snack is great for one of Florida’s hot days. You can find this snack in various flavors and variations, depending on the location. This legendary treat is served with either a pineapple, vanilla, and orange twist, as well as specialty flavors like strawberry, mango, and lime. You can choose between a standard soft serve or a float variation. This snack will refresh you and get you ready to continue on your park day.

3. Churros — Most snack carts

You cannot go to Disney World without a classic Disney churro. This snack is a warm, crispy, deep-fried dough pastry. You can indulge in this treat at any time of the day, offering a sweet, cinnamon-sugar boost of flavor. You can find this snack in numerous flavors, depending on the park and the season you choose to visit. This iconic treat is traditionally served rolled in cinnamon sugar, but can also be dusted with seasonal spices or dipped in chocolate or caramel sauces. This snack will have you craving it the moment you finish your last bite.

4.  Pineapple Coconut Slushy — The Market

This next snack may not be food, but it’s definitely something you shouldn’t pass up on your next trip. The pineapple coconut slushy is a refreshing tropical drink that could trick you into thinking that you aren’t standing in an amusement park but instead on a beach in the Caribbean. The pineapple part of the drink is tangy and sour, but it gets balanced out by the creamy coconut taste. This slushy is perfect for any age that needs a quick refreshment to go along with a long and tiring day.

5.  Mickey-Shaped Pretzel — Most snack carts

Another one of Disney’s most iconic snacks is the Mickey-shaped pretzel. This snack is a constant, all-year-round snack that people always tend to enjoy. This treat is a warm and soft baked pretzel shaped like the famous mouse, and can be served with an option of their warm cheddar cheese. You can find this snack at many of the snack carts scattered throughout the four parks. You can also find a specialty variation of this iconic snack, like a stuffed cream cheese pretzel, pepper jack, or a jalapeño-filled pretzel at select locations. This salty snack will have you ready to continue on your vacation.

6. The Stitch Smoothie — Ohana 

This next snack is not a well-known or popular treat, but it definitely deserves a top spot in my book. The Stitch smoothie is served at the Ohana restaurant at Disney’s Polynesian resort. The smoothie is a thick consistency that consists of pineapple, mango, banana, and orange juice, with blue spirulina to get the blue color. Now, I know what you’re going to say, “I’m on vacation, why would I get something healthy?” And to that I say it is quite the opposite. This drink tastes anything but healthy; it tastes like a pineapple milkshake. This smoothie is a great way to balance your breakfast before your big and busy day at the parks. 

7. Fry Flight — The Fry Basket 

This next snack is not something you can enjoy all year-round. The fry flight is served at the Fry Basket marketplace at the EPCOT International Food & Wine Festival. This popular offering is famous for the sample of three different flavors of french fries in one shareable dish. The flight includes sea salt malt vinegar, barbecued bacon, and sweet potato casserole fries. This flight of fries is a delicious way to experience a full spectrum of flavors, which almost guarantees everyone to have a flavor that they enjoy.

8. Cinnamon Glazed Nuts — Most snack carts

You can’t walk around Disney World without smelling the irresistible aroma of Disney’s cinnamon-glazed nuts — either almonds or pecans. This is a warm, sweet, and crunchy snack with a cinnamon-sugar coating. This snack is great for when you need a little burst of sweet, portable energy, and it’s perfect for a cooler evening in the park. You can find this snack at specialized nut carts scattered throughout all the theme parks, usually near high-traffic areas like the entrance to Adventureland or Fantasyland

9. Popcorn — Most snack carts

Disney’s Classic Popcorn is the essential theme park snack. The popular snack is a warm, fluffy, and savory treat with a classic, intense butter flavor. It’s widely available at carts across all four parks, making it the perfect on-the-go snack while you’re in line waiting or while watching a parade. The biggest draw is the option to buy a refillable souvenir bucket for inexpensive refills. The refillable buckets changed all the time with specialty buckets. You can also find other Disney popcorn in unique flavors like caramel or maple at select EPCOT locations.

10. Gaston’s Giant Cinnamon Roll  — Gaston’s Tavern

Another definite must-do foryour next trip is Gaston’s giant cinnamon roll. This is a huge, sweet, and fluffy pastry smothered in a lovely white icing. This snack is great for sharing with your entire group or as a solo big breakfast/dessert to fuel your day. You can only find this snack at one specific location, Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, making it a unique and must-try experience. You can choose to eat it with a fork or, if you’re feeling like Gaston, you can try to eat it with your bare hands.
