Best Disney World Snacks For Your Disney Itinerary
Planning a Disney vacation is exciting, but if you’ve done any Disney trip planning, you already know that food adds up fast and can easily become one of the biggest expenses on any vacation. That’s why we love snacking. It saves money, it’s fun, and as you’ll see below, you won’t feel as if you’ve sacrificed a thing. Today, we’re sharing the best Disney World snacks from our last trip!
No family trip is complete without a Dole Whip Mickey-shaped pretzel, but the Disney snacks on this list may surprise you. From a Mickey Affogato that’s a Disney must for us on every trip to smoked paprika chips that are totally addictive, you’ll want to add these to your Disney itinerary!
In this post, I’m sharing some of our favorite snacks at Disney World, along with a few Disney World tips and tricks to help you enjoy them while keeping your Disney food budget in check.
Our last trip to Disney was in January, and we are still thinking about the food we ate. We’re foodies, and trying new Disney treats is one of the things we look forward to. On our last trip, we had some of the best food we’ve ever had. So, let’s dive right into the best Disney World snacks!
While we love a good table service meal, we typically focus on quick-service meals and snacks. Eating this way allows us to try more throughout the day while saving money. Speaking of saving money, we just posted our favorite quick-service meals for less than $10.
Best Disney World Snacks, 2024 Edition
Typically, most of my posts are about saving money, but it’s nice to treat yourself, especially on vacation. Some of the snacks on this list didn’t make the cut for our favorite Disney snacks under $5 list, but they’re some of the best we’ve had and are worth going out of your way for!
Affogato Espresso Gelato $12.75
Gelateria Toscana
- Location: Epcot > Italy Pavilion
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Gelateria Toscana Menu
I have to start with the Affogato Espresso Gelato because it’s my all-time favorite snack at Walt Disney World! It begins with Italian espresso, then vanilla gelato is added, creating a classic affogato. Then, to add some Disney magic, they top it with two little amaretto cookies to mimic Mickey’s ears. It’s bitter and sweet and absolute perfection!
Chicken Dumplings With Ponzu $6.99
Mr. Kamal’s
- Location: Animal Kingdom > Asia
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Mr. Kamal’s Menu (no official menu posted)
These dumplings are gloriously crispy without being greasy and filled with a tender, flavorful chicken filling. The Ponzi sauce that comes with them is tangy and bright without being overly sweet. You’ll want to slam-dunk your dumplings in it. This is one of our favorite little savory snacks at Animal Kingdom!
Honey Pistachio Croissant $6.49
Tamu Tamu Refreshments
- Location: Animal Kingdom > Africa
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Tamu Tamu Refreshments Menu
The honey pistachio croissant at Tamu Tamu was another pleasant surprise on this trip. The croissant itself is buttery and flaky. Then, they drizzle it with honey and top it with toasted pistachios. I love the texture of the pistachios, and the honey adds the perfect sweetness!
Indian-style Bread Service $23.00
Sanaa Lounge
- Location: Animal Kingdom Lodge > Kidani Village
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Sanaa Lounge Menu
I’ve raved about the Indian-style bread service at Sanaa Lounge for years. It’s available at Sanaa restaurant, but many guests don’t know you can also get it at the lounge, where you don’t need a reservation. The bread service includes five Indian-style breads, along with a variety of sauces and chutneys. This is one of the best Disney World snacks because it’s a relaxed and fun way to eat, perfectly suited for sharing with friends.
Sanaa is now a quick-service breakfast location. Read our full review of the Kuamsha Breakfast here.
Wookiee Cookie $7.49
Backlot Express
- Location: Hollywood Studios > Echo Lake
- Dining Plan? Yes
- Mobile Ordering? Yes
- Backlot Express Menu
My husband has a huge sweet tooth and loves the Wookiee Cookie at Backlot Express. First of all, this thing is humongous. A few people could easily share this as a snack. The oatmeal cookie is chewy without being overly sweet and filled with a vanilla cream frosting that’s smooth, not gritty like some frostings. The garnish is milk chocolate and made to look like Chewbacca’s sash. This is a snack we look forward to every trip, and at just $7.49, it’s a fantastic value!
Churros With Dipping Sauces $11.00
Nomad Lounge
- Location: Animal Kingdom > Discovery Island
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Nomad Lounge Menu
It’s no secret among Disney regulars that the churros at Nomad Lounge are the best on Disney property. They are light and fluffy on the inside, with the perfect amount of cinnamon sugar coating the outside. They’re delightfully crispy and screaming to be dunked into one of the dipping sauces they come with. These are also available gluten-free upon request. On this trip, we received vanilla crema and a seasonal sauce, which was chili-strawberry. Both were absolutely delicious! Nomad Lounge is a hidden gem and one of our favorite places to hang out.
Bavarian Pretzel $12.00
BaseLine Tap House
- Location: Hollywood Studios > Grand Avenue
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- BaseLine Tap House Menu
Since relaxation is the goal on every Disney trip, we have a few favorite spots to take a break, and Baseline Taphouse at Hollywood Studios is one of them. The Bavarian pretzel with beer, cheese, and mustard is a must. The pretzel is well known as one of the best on property, and the beer cheese fondue is a flavor bomb. Grab a couple of beers and a pretzel, and relax for a while!
The California cheese and charcuterie is another favorite here. At just $14.00, it’s a fantastic value. Order both the pretzel and the charcuterie to share as a light meal and thank me later!
Half Baguette $2.95
Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie
- Location: Epcot > Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie
- Dining Plan? Yes
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Les Halles Boulangerie-Pâtisserie Menu
The half-baguette at Les Halles Boulangerie-Patisserie in the France pavilion at Epcot is easily one of the best snacks at Disney World and the cheapest. In the photo above, I had just torn off a piece, but you get an entire half-baguette for $2.95, and a whole baguette (which is huge) is only $3.95. I’ll be honest: as someone who doesn’t love bread, I only tried this because I had heard it was a good value – but – WOW. It was so so good! Pro tip. They will give you salted butter and jam upon request, so you should definitely ask for them!
Edamame With Chili Salt $5.00
Geyser Point Bar & Grill
- Location: Wilderness Lodge > Outside
- Dining Plan? Yes
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Geyser Point Bar & Grill Menu
It’s a simple and healthy snack that pairs perfectly with a couple of cold beers. Geyser Point is a vibe, and we’re here for it. It’s located along the waterfront at Wilderness Lodge, with gorgeous views of Bay Lake. We’ve tried almost everything on the menu, but keep returning for the edamame and chili salt. We love this spot so much that I wrote a blog post all about it!
Made-To-Order Artisan S’mores $9.00
The Ganachery
- Location: Disney Springs > The Landing
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- The Ganachery Menu
The artisan s’mores at The Ganachery aren’t just any s’mores. They’re special and must be on our best Disney World snacks list! After you place your order, you can walk over to the glass windows and watch a chocolate artisan handcraft your s’more. The top is dusted with powdered sugar in the shape of Mickey. It’s almost too cute to eat, but you’ll want to eat it – quickly – because it’s melty, messy, and delish!
Maple Popcorn $6.99
Canada Popcorn Cart
- Location: Epcot > Canada
- Dining Plan? No
- Mobile Ordering? No
- Canada Popcorn Cart
Shannon and I love popcorn, but the popcorn at Disney never blew us away until we tried the maple popcorn in the Canada pavilion. You can find this at the cart/kiosk in front of the La Cellier restaurant gardens. The popcorn was fresh and crisp, with just the right amount of maple flavor. If you like maple and a sweet-and-salty combination, you’ll love this. At $6.50, it’s a fun little snack for kids and adults alike!
Best Disney World Snacks, Honorable Mentions
Casey’s Corner on Main Street, U.S.A. at Magic Kingdom
- Chipotle Barbecue Loaded Fries $8.29: Topped with pulled pork, slaw, and chipotle barbecue sauce. We loved the combination of flavors and textures in this dish. You can read more about these here. Casey’s Corner Menu
Karamell-Küche in World Showcase at EPCOT
- Dark Chocolate Caramel with Sea Salt $4.49. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu at Karamell-Küche, but the dark chocolate balances the caramel’s sweetness, and I love the sea salt on top. Karamell-Küche (no posted menu)
Adventureland Spring Roll Cart in Magic Kingdom
- Cheeseburger Spring Rolls $9.50: Choose from two seasonal spring rolls, including sauces. These spring rolls have a cult following for a reason. They taste like a cheeseburger wrapped in a light, crispy spring roll wrapper and come with a burger-style dipping sauce. The seasonal spring roll rotates. The day we were there, it was a pizza flavor.
That wraps up our roundup of the best Walt Disney World snacks. Please share your favorites in the comments so I can try them on our next trip!
