If you’re headed to Walt Disney World Resort for vacation, work, or any combination of the two, you’re bound to get hungry. I declare a mandatory daily snack break! Seek out my top 5 best Disney snacks to make your tummy and your tongue both happy. These snacks are available in the parks, at Disney Springs and sometimes event resort eateries. Happy Snacking!
Churros
YUM! The original snack stick, Walt Disney World Resort churros and sprinkled with goodness and waiting for you in Frontierland. You can find the churro carts across from the Diamond Horseshoe, and if you’re really hungry, take a few more steps down the line and pick up a Turkey leg, too! The carts typically open up at 11am. So if you can’t wait until then, you can also find churros in Hollywood Studios at various carts or fresh, authentic churros with caramel sauce in Epcot at La Cantina de San Angel.
Mickey Pretzel
Have you ever seen a cooler pretzel shape than THIS?! I prefer to snag my Mickey pretzels in Epcot, near Journey Into Imagination with Figment. Then, when my belly is full, I can explore the science of the mind with my favorite Disney Dragon. If you want a total treat, get a cup of cheese to dip your pretzel chunks into.
Mickey Ice Cream
My all time favorite ice cream snack! Classic Mickey Ice Cream bars aren’t the same anywhere else… Frozen, coated in milk chocolate, and a most satisfying snack break. You can find these beauties at any of the Disney parks, at carts, pop-up pavilions and often in snack shacks.
Dole Whip
With or without rum, the Dole Whip is one of my favorite WDW snacks. I can even tell you how to get one without buying a ticket to the parks! Find this little baby at the Aloha Terrace in Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland or journey over to Epcot during special festivals to find it at the pop-up locations, with a spiked version available.
Fresh Fruit Waffle
I recently had this Nutella waffle for the first time, and I can tell you it was worth the wait. I can also tell you that I scarfed one every day for three days it was so good. Yes. Easy to split for a snack, or a perfect carby-breakfast for one, you can find this treat at the Sleepy Hollow Inn in Magic Kingdom’s Liberty Square (the same location you can get the BEST Disney souvenir EVER!)

I tend to be a savory snacker. So the thought of a Mickey pretzel with just the right amount of mustard is perfect for me!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
I never leave Disney without having one Dole Whip every day. I LOVE those things! Great picks.
Jen Rattie says
I make sure to have ALL of these at least once when we go to Disney. Nobody does snacks like Disney. The Dole Whip is crazy good.
Tracey says
If you wanted to make my mouth water with this post you did. I’ll take one of everything please, but if I had to choose it’s the waffle all the way.
Meagan says
That fresh fruit waffle sounds amazing!!! I have yet to try a Dole Whip either though.
Cassie Tucker says
I showed that Mickey shaped pretzel to my hubs and now he wants to go to Disney just for that! I think he may already be booking tickets, lol
Kelly Hutchinson says
I feel silly admitting this, but I have never had a churro. I would definitely try one when visiting Disney.
Marcie W. says
Few things on earth top a delicious Disney treat. A Dole Whip is an absolute must every time I visit.
Pam says
Who can go to Disney without getting a Dole Whip? It’s the iconic Disney snack!
Janell Poulette says
Oh my goodness, the Dole Whip and Nutella Waffle. YUM. I haven’t been to Disney in way too long, i need to go back, if anything just for the food!
Crystal says
Yup, you go them all! When I was little there was a special Fantasmic ice cream flavor that I would get every time. Man I miss that!

What a great post! I didn’t see half of these snacks while at Disney! I have yet to try the dole whip!

The Dole whip is my favorite! I haven’t ever tried the fresh fruit waffle, but we don’t get to WDW often since Disneyland is so much closer.
Melissa @ Married My Sugar Daddy says
Thanks for sharing this list of the best snacks to get at Disney- never had the Dole Whip or the Churros! Now I know what to get the next time I’m there with my kids!
Jeanine says
I really want to try one of those Dole Whips! I doubt I will ever get to a park but if I do its at the very top of my list! Yum
Anne Parris says
So, every time we got to Disney I have to, at some time have a Dole Whip, a churro, and a Mickey ice cream bar. Now I have two more to try. Thanks!
Also, it was so good to see you there in October. Hope to catch you at an event in 2017!
Tess says
I love going to Disney! Their snacks are the best!
Annemarie LeBlanc says
Churros and the Mickey pretzels are my favorite. I can never get enough of them and usually, it is the first item in my itinerary every time we are at Disney. Snack first, tour later. 🙂
Christina Aliperti says
Everything looks so good but that churro though! I am drooling right now it looks so yummy!
Tonia @TheChattyMomma says
I’ve had the pretzel, ice-cream, Dole Whip, and waffles. I need to try the churro too. I guess I better go back for that. 😉
