You likely already know that Disney World is home to attractions, adventures, and magical entertainment, but let’s be real! No one can really experience a Disney World vacation without some snacks! No matter which parks are on the agenda for your upcoming vacation, we’ve got all the snack options you need to know about.

So, if you don’t do anything else on your Disney vacation, put these snacks at the top of your must-do list!

Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Grilled Corn on the Cob

We’re pretty sure it should be classified as a crime to pass through the Africa area of the park without stopping at Harambe Fruit Market for some grilled corn on the cob. This can be ordered with or without African spices, but we suggest extra spice! For $5.29, this is a great option for those who may be trying to venture away from many of the overly sweet snacks Disney World offers. The definition of savory, flavorful, and easy to eat on the go!

Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork

Located right outside the entrance to Asia, Eight Spoon Cafe is a hidden gem. For $6.79, the Baked Macaroni & Cheese with Pulled Pork is guaranteed to satisfy a savory snack craving. Is it similar to Flame Tree Barbecue’s option? Yes. BUT, there is rarely a line here and it is a smaller portion. For a quick snack to hold the hunger while waiting for a dining reservation later in the day, this packs loads of flavor for a small price.

Pongu Lumpia

We head over to Pongu Pongu in Pandora — The World of Avatar for this inexpensive quick treat. A warm, sugar-dusted pineapple cream cheese spring roll sounds a little odd, right? Well, in reality, it is a perfect balance of sweet, savory, and refreshing with an even better price. For $3.79, this is one of the best bargains at Walt Disney World. You WILL be going back for more!

Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich

Terra Treats became home to one of the most viral snacks of the summer – for good reason! This Cookie Dough Brownie Ice Cream Sandwich is rich, filling, and somehow not that overly sweet? The sandwich is on the pricier side at $8.29, but it’s pretty large. If you eat it quickly enough (especially in the Florida sun, you kinda have to!), this ice cream sandwich could easily be split between a few kids. Or, adults, treat yourself to the full thing – I may or may not have done the same.

Disney’s EPCOT

Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie

Okay, hear us out. I know this isn’t a specific snack, but any option here is going to be delicious, affordable, and quick. That’s pretty much the definition of a “snack,” right?! Tucked away into the back of the France Pavilion in World Showcase, this bakery offers sweet and savory options ranging from macaroons, creme brulees, chocolate croissants, quiches, hot sandwiches, soups, and freshly baked warm baguettes.

Also offered are coffee, tea, beer, and wine options making this a one-stop shop for a quick pick-me-up. Some of our favorites include the warm baguette, a Croque Monsieur, and a creme brulee.

And, the best part about this eatery is that out of all the options on the menu, the most expensive item is $13.95. Large portions, versatility, affordability, and great quality, where can you go wrong?!

Kakigori (Japanese Shaved Ice)

For a snack the kids will love, stop in the Japan Pavilion for a Kakigori, also known as Japanese Shaved Ice. Large portions of shaved ice come with a flavor of your choosing: Rainbow, Strawberry, Melon, Cherry, Tangerine, or Blue Raspberry. For $5.50, not only is this a value snack, but it is also refreshing on a hot Central Florida day when you feel like you’re melting. Just make sure you eat it fast!

For the kids, it’s pretty, it’s shaved ice, and it’s Instagram-worthy. For the adults, there is an option to add Sake!

Caramel Popcorn

Karamell-Kuche falls into the same category as Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie — we would recommend anything here! At the entrance to the Germany Pavilion, you won’t be able to miss the sweet smell of Karamell-Kuche! The Caramel Popcorn is a decent-sized portion for $6.99, making it the perfect snack for a salty-sweet craving.

And for those craving a sweet snack, we recommend the Caramel Butter Bar. It’s gooey, buttery, and only $5.

School Bread

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe in the Norway Pavilion is a must-stop for any EPCOT newbie snacking their way “around the world”. This yeast sweet roll is filled with vanilla custard and tossed in coconut. It’s one of the more adventurous, off-the-beaten-path snacks in World Showcase, and a must-have for any coconut lover! At $4.79, make sure to give this sweet roll a shot.

Kringla Bakeri Og Kafe also offers Viking Coffee for adults, hot or frozen. It is a coffee with Bailey’s Irish Cream and Kamora Coffee Liqueur. For any coffee lover, we suggest pairing this with your School Bread. You’ll thank us later!

Fish and Chips

Looking for something hearty but not too filling? Yorkshire County Fish Shop in the United Kingdom Pavilion is a great snack spot to share a bite. The Beer-Battered Fish and Chips come with a good-sized portion of fish and chips. Plus, there’s ample seating around the fish shop. This is the perfect savory snack option to rest your legs, people-watch, and enjoy a taste of the UK. Coming in at $14.49, this will be one of the more expensive items on the list as it could be considered a “meal” by some, and the portion size reflects that!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie

Tucked back into Pixar Place, the Neighborhood Bakery is home to the famous Jack-Jack’s Num Num Cookie. This snack took a brief hiatus when Toy Story Land first opened, but we are oh-so-happy it is back. This chocolate chip cookie is huge and easily shareable. Plus, it’s delicious! They are served warm, so the middle is gooey-goodness, with a bit of a crunch on the outside—yum! At roughly $7, this is a great midday pick-me-up snack for the family.

Ronto Wrap

For an out-of-this-world savory snack, we’re making our way to Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. This warm, pork sausage pita wrap is the perfect handheld for a filling, on-the-go snack. And, it’s quite unique! For $13.99, it’s one of the pricer snacks, but for many, this could be a meal. Grab it before you get in line for Rise of the Resistance and chow down while you wait!

Ronto Roasters is typically only open till 3 pm. However, don’t fret. After Ronto Roasters closes, Ronto Wraps are served at Docking Bay 7 & Cargo until park close!

BaseLine Tap House

Baseline Tap House has what some (including us!) consider the best pretzel on property, but how about a pretzel AND charcuterie? And, best of all, you can enjoy a beverage with it! Baseline Tap House is the perfect “chill” spot in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, where you can rest your legs, refuel with a pretzel, delicious charcuterie board, and enjoy great craft beers.

Wookie Cookie

While anyone could make a case that Hollywood Studios is known for its savory snacks, the Wookie Cookie has certainly made a name for itself in the park. Found on the menu at Backlot Express, this sweet treat comes with two oatmeal cookies sandwiching a vanilla cream filling. And, there’s a Chewbacca chocolate sash on top! For $7.49, everyone loves a Wookie Cookie, Star Wars fan or not!

Keep in mind that quick service lines can get long here, especially during lunch hours. So, we recommend mobile ordering this snack ahead of time to save precious park time!

Kat Saka’s Kettle Popcorn

Walking through the Black Spire Outpost inside Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is not complete without a stop at Kat Saka’s Kettle! Here, guests can grab a bag of specialty-flavored popcorn and one of the most popular coffees in Disney World while browsing the outpost’s unique shops.

Standard butter popcorn (with a colorful twist) or a sweet-and-spicy mix option is available. Alongside the Cold Brew Black Caf, a.k.a. Joffrey’s Coffee cold brew topped with sweet cream cheese cold foam and chocolate puffs, the Outpost Popcorn Mix creates the perfect mid-afternoon pick-me-up.

Disney’s Magic Kingdom

Spring Rolls

If you’ve done any research on Magic Kingdom snacks, you’ve probably heard about the Adventureland Spring Roll Cart. And, if you haven’t yet, we’re here to tell you! With the current spring roll options being Cheeseburger Spring Rolls or Pepperoni Spring Rolls (though, the flavors do rotate often), these famous snacks are ones you cannot pass up. Located near the bridge to Adventureland, this quick snack is flavor-packed with a nostalgic twist.

For $9.50, you’ll get two spring rolls of your choice and a dipping sauce.

Gaston’s Warm Cinnamon Roll

Gaston’s Tavern, just like Gaston himself, doesn’t do things small! This cinnamon roll is one of the best “bangs for your buck” at Magic Kingdom. The pastry is easily shareable, warm, gooey, flavorful, and nearly – dare we say – perfect? For $7.99 and a quick A/C break, it doesn’t get much better than this stop.

Plus, add in the Grey Stuff Cupcake and a tall glass of Lefou’s Brew and you’ve got an immersive Disney’s Beauty and the Beast experience, without having to spend the money or time at Be Our Guest!

Dole Whip

Cross the bridge to Adventureland and you will stumble upon Aloha Isle, home to the famous Dole Whip! The original pineapple flavor is what gained its popularity, but this soft serve “ice cream” treat has become so popular that multiple flavors are now available. And, if you really want to go all out on this sweet treat, order a Dole Whip Float!

Corn Dog Nuggets

Magic Kingdom food often gets a bad rap. There aren’t many options beyond your standard theme park food, such as hot dogs, burgers, and chicken. And, sometimes, that is just what you need! After all, you are on vacation. So, fill that craving and stop in Casey’s Corner right off Main Street for Corn Dog Nuggets! This basket of goodness comes with fries and could be considered a meal, but it’s also the perfect shareable snack to enjoy while you’re waiting for the parade! Plus, for $10.99, it’s a decent-sized portion the family is sure to love.

Disney Springs

Morimoto Baby Back Ribs

You may not see these on many people’s “snack” lists, but here they are on ours! Over at Morimoto Street Food, this is our go-to savory snack when we find ourselves hungry at Disney Springs. Are they messy? Yes. But are they worth it? Absolutely. These are the same delicious pork ribs that Chef Morimoto is famous for, just a smaller portion.

The ribs are our favorite thing on the menu; however, Morimoto Street Food offers plenty of grab-and-go options, including onigiri, bao, and dumplings.

Gideon’s Bakehouse

Any coffee or cookie lover must stop here! There’s a reason these half-pound cookies (yes, I said half-pound cookies and I’m not exaggerating!) have amassed a massive fan base! But, it’s not always easy to get your hands on them. The line at Gideon’s Bakehouse does get long and you’ll need to sign up for the virtual queue to “get in line” if you’re visiting when it’s busy (usually at night and on weekends). So, be sure to go to Gideon’s as soon as you get to Disney Springs to put your name in. Once you’re on the list you can do all your shopping, eating, and playing in Disney Springs while you wait and you’ll get a text when it’s your turn in line.

The original chocolate chip cookie is a winner, but they have other flavors and a rotation of monthly flavors depending on the season. Also, don’t overlook the cold brews. They are dairy-free and delicious! $7 may seem steep for a single cookie, but the hesitation will subside once you take a bite, we promise.

Final Thoughts

So, even though Disney World may be about entertainment, there is no shortage of great food options. But, it’s important to choose wisely what snacks you try — this trip may only be once in a lifetime! You want to leave Disney World dreaming about the snacks you ate while you were there, not regretting your choices. So, keep this list of the best Disney World snacks on hand to make sure you leave happy, full, and wanting more!
