We’re talkin’ WAFFLES, y’all.
And if we’re talkin’ waffles, more often than not we’re also talkin’ about Sleepy Hollow Refreshments.
You see, long before Chicken and Waffles starting popping up pretty much everywhere in Disney World from Backlot Express to the Fantasy Fare Food Truck (even the Polynesian’s Captain Cook’s had an unexpected take on them for a time), Sleepy Hollow understood the Power of the Waffle. While specific waffle items have come and gone from the menu, this location is currently home to its original Big Three: the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich, a Breakfast Waffle (currently served with egg and cheese), and the Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich with Chocolate-Hazlenut Spread… which we all simply refer to as the “Nutella Waffle Sandwich. Oh, yeah, and it’s got Fruit, too.”
Or maybe that’s just me?
Anyway, we’re revisiting the Nutella Waffle Sandwich today because… well, frankly because I wanted one on my last trip! And I thought I’d share it again today with you. After all, even though the Nutella Waffle never left the Sleepy Hollow menu, that doesn’t mean things here can’t change (Case in Point: the return of the Sweet and Spicy Chicken Waffle Sandwich after it was taken off the menu for a while — though good news: the price on the item has actually gone down, making it a better value). Anyway, I placed my order…
… and there you have it, it’s as glorious as ever. Just like always, the base is a big ol’ crunchy, golden Belgian Waffle, fresh from the iron. Then, it’s slathered in gobs of chocolate-hazelnut Nutella spread which becomes slightly melty.
Not gonna lie: I asked for extra spread, and you should, too. Because although a little Nutella is good, a lot of Nutella is better.
The fruit has stayed standard over the years, and even though I kid about the necessity of fruit, it’s actually pretty great here. Lots of fresh strawberries, blueberries, and sliced banana make this too big to really eat like a sandwich, despite the waffle’s official name.
So be sure to grab a knife and fork — and maybe even an extra plate — so you can deconstruct this glorious beast and take it slice by slice (or share with a pal!). In slices like this, it’s like a Nutella Waffle Pizza!
Whatever YOU want to call it, just get it! Because the Nutella-Waffle-and-hey-there’s-fruit-but-it’s-too-big-to-be-a-sandwich-maybe-it’s-more-like-a-pizza is just as great as it’s always been!
And since Sleepy Hollow now has Hand-Dipped Corn Dogs a la Disneyland, you’ve got more than one reason to make a stop — or two! — during your visit to the Magic Kingdom!

I’m not a big fan of Magic Kingdom’s Quick Service options, so I’ve been guilty on more than one occasion of making this my meal. Hey, there’s fruit, so it’s healthy-ish, right? I know there had been reports of the waffle quality slipping, so I’m glad to see it looks and tastes just a good as ever! 🙂
Essie says
I can’t wait to try one of these as it really looks delicious! BTW, is that you, AJ, who got their fingers in the photo? I just got new nail polish and it looks like it’s the same as you have on. Now I can’t wait to wear it. It looks great!
Katie says
I have a question: Is the fruit pre-mixed, or could you get say, just bananas? I really, really hate strawberries, but Nutella-banana is a favorite combination.
Brooke says
Katie — Even if it’s pre-mixed, you can request just bananas.
Lisa P says
I had one a while back but it didn’t look as good and fresh as the one pictured. Mine had syrupy strawberries instead. Maybe I’d try again.
Jean says
This is hands-down my favorite eat in Magic Kingdom. But y’know what’s shocking… it has NEVER occurred to my little brain to ask for extra Nutella! I’m doing this every time now!!
Dave says
Easily my fav and one i get EVERY single time I visit MK. I still have pics of my 1st visit feeding the fat squirrels standing on their hind legs here. Who in their right mind would waste a snack credit on a single banana or water when you can get this lovely beast!
Tarantula says
I gotta say, last time we got this it was a depressing slop of syrupy canned strawberries (with a side of nutella in a cup, if memory serves me correctly??). It was very sad. I sincerely hope they have returned to this beautiful selection of fresh fruits with warm yummy nutella in that delicious hot waffle! Mmmmmm!!!! Hope that’s what we see next time!! 🙂
Melissa says
I request mine without banana all the time so asking to have a fruit left out isn’t a problem. Last one I had was in April 2016 and it was still fresh fruit. The waffle in the pictures is definitely thinner than the old Belgian waffles they used to serve 🙁 I eat mine by using the paper under it to help me roll the sides in like a burrito and eat it that way. Hoping to have 1 or 2 on my upcoming visit, but recent menu posts show they don’t let you use a snack credit for the fruit and Nutella waffle anymore, just the regular waffle with whipped cream and fruit.
