Let’s start with some iconic Disney World snacks. These make the best disney world snacks list because they are things everyone thinks of when visiting the happiest place on earth for vacation. People order these visit after visit – they are tradition! Check out these must-try snacks when you visit Disney World:

Dole Whip: This iconic pineapple soft-serve is a fan favorite, perfect for a sweet and refreshing pick-me-up in the Florida heat.
Mickey Pretzel: Shaped like everyone’s favorite mouse, this salty snack is a classic Disney treat that’s perfect for munching on while exploring the parks.
Churro: Crispy, sugary, and oh-so-delicious, a churro is a must-have snack at Disney World. Don’t forget to get some caramel sauce for dipping!
Turkey Leg: Feeling hungry? Grab a giant turkey leg that’s big enough to share (but you might not want to!). It’s a savory and satisfying snack that’s perfect for fueling your Disney adventures.
Popcorn: I think this has become so popular because of the cute, collectable popcorn buckets you can choose from. Then refill them for a fraction of the cost throughout your entire visit for a yummy, filling, and inexpensive snack. HINT: Get a maple popcorn refill in Epcot’s Canada for a slightly sweet treat!

Character Cookies – there are various gift shops where you can pick up 5″ wide decorated cookies. These are so cute, perfect to enjoy at the parks or take home as a gift or souvenir. We found the largest selection was at the Polynesian Resort gift shop with both Lightening McQueen and princess character cookies.

There is hardly a time throughout the year when a festival is not taking place. However, there are small pockets of time in between each one when the park is getting ready for the next festival. When this happens, the food booths that are utilized are closed and getting revamped for the next. Make sure to take a peak for some unique offerings throughout the year! We have loved the donuts by Test Track, drink offerings at the Refreshement Port on your way into the showcase towards Mexico, and Steak in the Canada area just to name a few. So many yummy food choices!

hollywood studios cupcakes including butterfinger, strawberry minnie, and chocolate snacks

Best snacks at hollywood studios

One of our favorite parks is Holly wood studios where we can head to a galaxy far far away or hang out with Andy and the gang in Toy Story land! There are some great snacks to be had at this park. For some reason, this park ends up feeling so much hotter than all the others – less trees and more concrete I think. So make sure you hydrate well and take advantage of free drink refills at the Backlot Express and the ABC Commissionary.

Butterfinger Cupcake – a decadent delight for chocolate lovers. This favorite of mine disapeared for a while but it is back, but now it’s at Rosie’s All-American Cafe
Ronto Wrap – a savory and satisfying choice. Honestly, not one of my favorites – I think it’s just a cheap hotdog in a wrap, but a lot of guests really love it
