food IS a theme park
It’s the circle of SNACKS!
Animal Kingdom
Animal Kingdom is our hidden gem for incredible snacks and treats, and with these five new bites, you’re going to want to run to Disney World right now (but you’ll probably want to come on an empty stomach).
There are SO many amazing places to eat in Disney World!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
From the most iconic snacks to those hidden gems, we’re constantly on the hunt for our next favorite meal. Now, one of our favorite spots in Animal Kingdom has changed, and we’re putting the new menu items to the test to see if they’re worth your time and money!
The Disney Dining Plan is a fantastic resource for many families and Disney World visitors who have done the math and know that they’ll get tons of use out of pre-paying for your food ahead of time.
Look for the purple “DDP Snack Credit logo” on price signage and menus!
The largest amount of credits you get to use are snack credits, which can be used at a majority of snack carts and restaurants around the parks. In fact, the VAST majority of Disney World restaurants and carts have eligible snacks, but not EVERY snack on the menu will be eligible, if that makes sense. When you arrive you will be able to see what is eligible based on the DDP icon on the menu next to the item you’re looking at. You want to make sure you’re making the MOST of your snack credits, so here are the ones we recommend — not only are they delicious, but they cost more than the average snack, but they’re all equal under the DDP, so it’s a steal!
There are many treats in Disney World that we’re massive fans of.
Main Street Bakery Case
For example, the massive Cinnamon Roll and newer Crème Brûlée Croissant are some of our go-to options in Magic Kingdom, we love trying out the different festival booths in EPCOT, Lunch Box Tarts in Hollywood Studios are sometimes hit or miss (but when they hit, they HIT), and Animal Kingdom is just KNOWN for their iconic treats around the parks. However, there’s one item that we always HOPE will be good, and often never is, and our most recent experience wasn’t any different.
Okay, Disney World, WHAT is going on?
Animal Kingdom
It’s normal for menus in Disney World to change often, because almost EVERYTHING changes on the daily. But recently, Disney has been CHANGING some of our favorite snacks — the blueberry Mickey waffles in Hollywood Studios, the waffles at Sleepy Hollow in Magic Kingdom, BUT NOW our favorite corn has changed, too!
Let me tell you a little secret about Disney World food…Animal Kingdom has some of the best!
Disney’s Animal Kingdom
This park often gets overlooked because of the plethora of iconic snacks at Magic Kingdom and the international treats at EPCOT, but Animal Kingdom has some absolute BANGERS. There are so many snack stands throughout the park with eats that we keep coming back for again and again, so when one of those spots introduced a new offering, you know I had to stop by and try it!

Hey, guess what? IT JUST DID. One of our all-time favorite snacks at Disney’s Animal Kingdom just made its glorious return after going MISSING for several months! [Read more…]
Disney’s Animal Kingdom is one of our favorite parks for unique and delicious snacks.
Pandora
Flame Tree Barbecue is a standout quick service location on our list of favorites, and there are countless snacks we highly recommend as well. We headed over to Pandora: The World of Avatar this morning to try one of their new snacks, but it…wasn’t what we expected.
Disney’s Animal Kingdom has been giving us ALL the new snacks to try, and we’re not complaining.
