Why We’re Suddenly Excited About Chips in Disney World

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

It’s not every day we get excited about chips in Disney World, unless, of course, it’s like the chips with Fish and Chips (which we LOVE) or those really cool and unique Lays flavors we often find at the Japan and China Pavilions in EPCOT.

Metro Deli Chips

No, we’re talking about regular old potato chips, the kind that usually come as a side with a lot of sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs in Disney World or are available as just a snack. However, Disney’s Animal Kingdom just switched up its chips game, and well, it’s a HUGE improvement, and we need to talk about it.

We were recently visiting Harame Fruit Market in Animal Kingdom and noticed something had changed with the chips options. We spotted Metro Deli chips. Now, we’ve actually seen these at other snack carts, too, so they’re becoming available throughout the park. Now, at Harambe Fruit Market, they’re still serving Lays if you get a hotdog, but you can now get any bag of chips for $3.29, including Metro Deli Sea Salt chips. Why is that game changing? Well, these are a larger bag of chips, so you get more, but the quality is also SO much better.

These chips taste like house-made chips, and they are consistently good. They’re the thick cut, kettle-cooked kind of chip with the PERFECT amount of salt. They also have a much more real potato flavor and, according to our reporter, “I hope I never have to eat a Lays chip in Disney World again now that I know this is possible.”

We hope to see them EVERYWHERE

So you can get a bigger bag of better chips for the same price, and that’s a win-win in our book!

We’ll keep an eye out for more new snacks in Disney World, so stay tuned to DFB for more.
