Below is another article by my friend Alexia. If you are planning on taking a Disney vacation or just want to dream, contact her for some awesome rates and maybe a few little pixie dust surprises along the way. P.S – My favorite snack is the chocolate dipped rice krispy treats covered in reeses pieces. I also love the cinnamon rolls at the Magic Kingdom.
Many people don’t realize that the Disney Dining Plan comes with one snack per person per night (or two snacks if you are on the Deluxe Dining Plan). Sure you could get the usually popcorn, soft pretzels, and funnel cakes, but Walt Disney World has so many more amazing snacks to offer! Here are my top ten snacks at Walt Disney World:
-
Mickey Ice Cream Bar: This is a simple and nostalgic treat. My family’s trips to Walt Disney World are not complete unless we have a Mickey Ice Cream Bar at the Magic Kingdom.
-
Churro: If you aren’t sure what a churro is, it is basically a stick of fried dough rolled in cinnamon and sugar. It is also extremely delicious.
-
Dole Whip: The Dole Whip is only available at two locations: Aloha Isle snack bar in Adventureland at the Magic Kingdom and Captain Cook’s at the Polynesian resort. A Dole Whip is a frozen pineapple sherbet twisted with soft serve vanilla ice cream. The line at Aloha Isle is always extremely long, but it is well worth the wait!
-
Cupcakes: There are far too many to list here, but Disney’s signature cupcakes are amazing. Two places not to miss if you are a cupcake fan: Starring Rolls Café at Disney’s Hollywood Studios and Babycakes NYC at Downtown Disney.
-
Kaki-Gori: Kaki-Gori is shaved ice, hand-shaped into an enormous snowball and topped with fruit syrup. Flavors include strawberry, tangerine, and honeydew, or a rainbow combination of all three flavors and can be purchased at the Japan pavilion at Epcot.
-
School Bread: It doesn’t sound very appetizing, but this is actually a donut-like confection filled with vanilla custard and topped with sweetened coconut. This sweet goodness can be found at the Norway pavilion at Epcot.
-
Chocolate Covered Marshmallow on a Stick: Sounds simple, but it is oh so good! Plus you can customize yours with different chocolate and topping choices, so there is something new to try every time!
-
Chocolate Covered Rice Krispie Treat: Much like the chocolate covered marshmallow on a stick, you can customize yours with different chocolate and toppings. You can watch your snack be made right in front of you at Goofy’s Candy Company in the Magic Kingdom.
-
Chocolate Covered Banana on a Stick: The name says it all. A frozen banana on a stick covered in chocolate. This one is healthy since there is fruit involved right?
-
Food & Wine Festival Kiosk Snack Portions: If you are visiting Epcot between late September and November, you should seriously consider ignoring the rest of this list and using all of your snack credits here. My family’s favorite way to spend lunch at Epcot is to “snack around the world”. Temporary kiosks from around the world are set up during the Food & Wine Festival and offer sample sized menu options. Even my picky eater loved walking though the different countries and trying different foods for lunch. She has already requested to do it again on our next trip!
