food IS a theme park
There are some very popular snacks that I SKIP in Magic Kingdom.
Turkey Leg
With literally dozens of options to choose from, I can’t feasibly eat everything in one day, and I certainly wouldn’t want to (can you imagine trying to go on RIDES after all that snacking?!). So, how do you choose what to eat? Do you pick the most popular treats? Well, these are some popular snacks that I typically skip.
Disney World’s water parks are pretty popular these days!
Summit Plummet at Blizzard Beach
Since 2025 kicked off, Disney World Resort guests have been given the perk of free admission to a Disney World water park on their check-in day. This means that a LOT more people are heading to Blizzard Beach and Typhoon Lagoon than before! And here at DFB, it’s our job to make sure you know how to eat when you visit the water parks — let’s dive into our list of must-try and must-skip items at Blizzard Beach.
There are plenty of places to grab a quick snack in Disney World, and it’s no secret we have some of our favorites.
Anaheim Produce
In Disney’s Hollywood Studios, though, great snacks are a little harder to come by, but in a pinch, we’ll make a meal out of Totchos and we’ll never turn down a Carrot Cake Cookie. However, there’s a little sorta’ hidden snack spot in Hollywood Studios you may not know about: Anaheim Produce. So we stopped by to grab some snacks and try them out. And now, we’re here with an honest review (maybe even a little TOO honest).
Okay, if you’ve been following DFB for a while, you know we’ve got a pretty hefty list of our favorite snacks in Disney World.
Mickey Pretzel
We will NEVER stop talking about Cheeseburger Pods in Animal Kingdom’s Pandora (seriously, NEVER). We will keep telling you that we will always order the Bread Service at Sanaa at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge and literally make a meal out of it. We will always sing the praises of Mini Corn Dogs (we still call ’em Corn Dog Nuggets) from Casey’s Corner in Magic Kingdom with that PLASTIC CHEESE. Wait…you know what else we love that goes great with plastic cheese? Mickey pretzels — and it seems TV journalist, talk show host, and author Tamron Hall agrees with us.
There are so many snacks in Disney World that it can be hard to pick and choose!
It’s Mickey!
We don’t discriminate against Disney World snacks — from the ooey gooey to the super sweet to the deliciously savory, a good Disney World snack is a good Disney World snack! One of our favorites, though, is an all-time classic — the Disney World pretzel. If you love pretzels as much as we do, read ahead to see the six Disney World pretzels we love the most!
Sometimes all you need to turn your mundane day around at EPCOT is an ice-cold beverage and a staple Disney World snack. Luckily, we know just where you should head next!
Our whole meal to review
We already know you’re busy hitting up the many booths for everything you can snack on in one day at EPCOT’s Food & Wine Festival but if you find yourself a little tired of repeats and are ready to rediscover a timeless kiosk that will be there year-round for you, we can’t recommend this place enough!
So, here at Disney Food Blog, we have serious opinions about Disney food — it’s kinda what we do.
Mickey pretzel
We’ll be the first to let you know about new snacks in Disney World, as well as get you updated reviews when restaurants change their menus. We’ll also talk a LOT about some of our favorite snacks (oh, Dole Whip, how do we love thee?), but we also have some snacks we just don’t like…like at all. However, now we’re going to have a chat about snacks that are just WAY overrated.
Disney World is home to so many inside jokes and secrets that people who don’t visit frequently can be left scratching their heads.
Magic Kingdom
Have you ever just stopped and taken mental notes of what you’re seeing and hearing at Disney World? Out of context, what you register could be considered pretty weird! For example, you paid to meet a rodent and get taken hostage by a militant galactic group known as the First Order, just to name a few oddities. In fact, there are a ton of things we see and hear at the parks that are completely disturbing outside the friendly confines of Disney World!
Changes happen almost every day in Disney World.
EPCOT has undergone LOTS of changes!
But recently, in one big swoop of their hand, we have seen A LOT of changes! Park Hopper changes were announced, new Annual Pass prices were announced, and many price increases were added. We noticed that two of our favorite snacks were included in the list of food items to receive a price increase today.
DFB is all about the FOOD at Walt Disney World. ALL kinds of Disney food. And that means making sure that families with special dietary concerns (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.) have the information they need to create safe and delicious meal plans for their vacation.
Have you wondered about vegan dining in Walt Disney World? We’re happy to share — vegans CAN eat well at Disney’s Animal Kingdom, especially with a little advanced planning.
Plant Based Sausage
For starters, in October 2019, Disney announced that every major table and counter service restaurant in both Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort would offer plant-based options! You will find menus with plant-based options that are available throughout Walt Disney World, these items “are made with no animal meat, dairy, eggs or honey. They are made with ingredients that come from plants, including grains, vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds and legumes.”
