When clients travel to Disney, I am often asked what snacks they should be on the lookout for. There are so many throughout Walt Disney World, but I’ll start with my top 6 in The Magic Kingdom.
1. Pineapple Dole Whip from Aloha Isle in Adventureland. You will struggle to find any list of top Disney snacks that does not include a Dole Whip. It’s a creamy, but non dairy, soft serve. My favorite flavor is the classic pineapple, but you can also get orange, raspberry, lemon (and sometimes others) and can even have it swirled with vanilla or coconut soft serve. I like the pineapple by itself, but the coconut and pineapple combination is delicious too! A new menu item at Aloha Isle that I tried last month was the Mimi, Gigi, Fifi pictured here. Pineapple, orange, and vanilla bundt cakes topped with pineapple Dole Whip. Amazing!
2. Cheshire Cat Tail from the Cheshire Cafe in Fantasyland. It’s easy to miss this little cafe. It’s tucked away in Fantasyland near Tomorrowland. The Cheshire Cat Tail is basically a chocolate chip croissant with pink and purple icing to look like…the Cheshire Cat’s tail…but there is something about it that tastes so good!
3. Ice Cream Cookie Sandwich from the Plaza Ice Cream Parlor on Main Street. Sandwich your favorite flavor of ice cream between two HUGE freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. No more needs to be said! Other than…be careful…they are messy! Ask for some spoons!
4. Mini Churros with Chocolate Dipping Sauce from Pecos Bill Tall Tale Inn in Frontierland. This is a new find for me! When I read about them, I made sure to stop and check them out! They did not disappoint! It can get busy here so remember to mobile order!
5. LeFou’s Brew and a Giant Cinnamon Roll from Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland. I am a huge Beauty and the Beast fan so I love Gaston’s Tavern! From the fountain of Gaston outside, to the antlers used in all of the decorating inside, it’s just fun! I can’t leave the Magic Kingdom without having a LeFou’s Brew. It’s a frozen apple juice with a hint of marshmallow topped with a mango passion fruit foam. Delicious! Make sure to get a giant cinnamon roll, too! My favorite Disney super healthy breakfast! Not snack related, but if you stop at Gaston’s, make sure to go into Bonjour! Village Gifts. It’s my favorite little shop in the Magic Kingdom!
6. Popcorn. I can’t have a Disney snack list without popcorn. I am a popcorn bucket collector so I’m a little partial, but there is something about Disney popcorn that’s so good! If I’m in Disney, I have a popcorn bucket around my neck! And it is seriously one of the best deals in Disney (well…it’s a deal if you don’t care to have every popcorn bucket you see). Once you buy the bucket, you can get refills for $2! One of my favorite popcorn bucket finds was this cute gold Christmas tree…it lights up!
