We LOVE bragging on our favorite Disney World snacks.
But today…we’re putting them to the TEST to see WHICH of our favorite Disney snacks is truly the BEST of the bunch.
Let’s be real: nobody orders Gaston’s Cinnamon Roll because they were hoping for a light bite. You order it because it’s enormous, covered in icing, and sitting in Fantasyland like a carb-loaded dare. This Magic Kingdom classic has been wrecking park snack plans for years, and if you’ve ever wondered whether it actually lives up to the hype, you’re not alone.
This thing is not dainty. It is not subtle. It is not here to support your “maybe I’ll just get a little something” delusion. It is large, sticky, sweet, and fully committed to being the kind of snack that derails your plans in the best possible way. The Warm Cinnamon Roll is at Gaston’s Tavern in Magic Kingdom’s Fantasyland, and the official page literally calls it the tavern’s admired, ooey-gooey signature snack. Frankly, the pastry has PR.
When it comes to snacks in Disney World, there are so many to choose from!

The Confectionery!
From the classics to the new kids in town, we have made it our entire job to try every Disney snack out there! We’ve spent the last 15 years putting Disney snacks to the test, and there’s one trend we noticed that we need to warn you about so you can avoid it. Let’s talk about the new snacks in Magic Kingdom so you can avoid (or test) them.
We’re BIG fans of all things Disney snacks, which is why we’re called Disney FOOD Blog!
However, not all snacks are built the same. We certainly have our fair share of snacks that we’re NOT fans of, the snacks that we love that other people don’t (and vice versa), but there are a few snacks out there that are practically perfect according to just about everybody.
There is nothing we love to do more at Walt Disney World than snacking. I mean, we are Disney FOOD Blog, after all! And one of the best parts about going to the parks is eating all the treats!

Magic Kingdom Fantasyland
In our snacking endeavors, we love to come together to discuss all our snack FAVES and the ones we will typically PASS on. And since we know you’re probably planning a trip to the Most Magical Place on Earth, we decided to put on our foodie review hats and rank all the snacks we’ve tried, starting with Fantasyland!
Our DFB reporters go to Disney World literally every single day. We visit the parks, hotels, and Disney Springs. We spend HOURS collecting information, taking photos, and — yes — EATING. After decades of visiting the parks, you’d think we’d be completely sick of all the food in Disney World.

Magic Kingdom
That assumption would be partially correct. There are definitely days when we think we might puke if we have to eat one more cupcake. But there are a few (well, more than a few) snacks that we NEVER get tired of eating, even after having eaten them dozens of times! [Read more…]
When you were little, did you ever go to the fair? And your folks would just hand over a $20 bill and tell you to have at it?
Today, that’s what we were given to work with at Magic Kingdom at Disney World. Honestly, Magic Kingdom does fit the vibe of a county fair if you really think about it. You’ve got the endless snacks, spinning rides, and even Main Street, US.A., which feels just like a small town (which is totally on purpose, because it was modeled after Walt Disney’s hometown of Marceline, Missouri!). Anyway, we were given $20 to come up with a DREAM lineup of food in Magic Kingdom.

Hamburgers, french fries, ice cream, and churros — What do all of these things have in common (besides the fact that they’re delicious?!) They’re all your standard, run-of-the-mill theme park food that you can find in any Disney World park.
