Magic Kingdom is filled with tons of delicious snacking options, making it difficult to decide which ones are really worth your money. We’ve got you covered!
Magic Kingdom is always the most crowded park in Disney World. That said, it can be overwhelming to navigate, and wait-times for attractions can be grueling. You’ll definitely need to fuel your body throughout the day to stay happy. Luckily, there is a wide variety of snacks at your disposal, and we want you to choose the right ones. Here are 10 snacks you absolutely cannot miss while visiting Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, in no particular order.
1. Fresh Fruit Waffle Sandwich (Sleepy Hollow)

This is the perfect option for a quick breakfast in the park, but is served all day. It’s a great snack to share as well, considering the size. You can purchase one fresh fruit waffle sandwich for $8.49. Seeing as this can double as a meal, that price is a total steal. If you love sweets, you’ll want to get your hands on this!
2. Cheshire Cat Tail (Cheshire Café)

In honor of him, Disney World has created a truly unforgettable snack that will make you smile from ear to ear. The Cheshire Cat Tail is a croissant-like twist, filled with chocolate chips and served warm. On top, there is a pattern of pink and purple icing, resembling the cat from the Alice in Wonderland movie! This snack is a decent size, so it can make for a good breakfast for those with a sweet tooth. For $5.49, this pillowy, chocolatey pastry is worth every penny, just make sure you get a Joffrey’s Coffee to wash it down.
3. Spring Rolls (Adventureland Spring Roll Cart)
Spring Rolls. Photo: @savemoneywilltravelAs you roam Adventureland, you’ll notice a brightly colored food cart serving spring rolls. Most often, the flavors will be cheeseburger served with a mayo-based sauce, and pepperoni pizza served with marinara sauce. The outside is so warm and crispy, and the fillings are always bursting with flavor. They do sometimes, however, swap the flavors, so keep in mind that it could be different during your trip. They’ve had spring rolls with pastrami and pepper jack, Philly Cheesesteak, and more. They come in order of two for $9.50, so while it is a bit pricey for the amount you get, the taste truly makes up for it. The chances of running into this food cart are not always likely, so if you do spot it, be sure to snack on these spring rolls!
4. Creamy Bacon Macaroni & Cheese Tots (The Friar’s Nook)

This snack is great for sharing, and will be sure to fill you up for a long day in the park. You could definitely consider it a meal. For everything that is loaded onto these tater tots, it’ll only cost you $11.49. Keep in mind, this is Disney pricing we’re talking about, so we think $11.49 for something that could definitely be considered a meal is a total win.
5. Sweet-and-Spicy Chicken-Waffle Sandwich (Sleepy Hollow)

This light and buttery waffle is packed with crispy chicken, broccoli slaw, a tangy honey-sriracha glaze, and is served with house-made chips. This is another snack we definitely think constitutes as a meal if eaten alone, but sharing it with friends can be the perfect mid-day snack. This sandwich has got to be one of our favorites. If you try it, we know you’ll end up craving it every time you visit the park. This snack will run you $11.59.
6. Mickey’s Premium Ice Cream Bar (Various Locations)

This is a simple snack that mostly everyone likes on a hot day in the park. You will have no problem finding one of these, as they’re sold in various locations throughout the park, and even in Disney’s other parks. The only thing we don’t quite understand is the price of this snack. $6 for a plain ice cream bar really is a bit overboard, but Disney is not the cheap vacation, and this snack is all just a part of the experience. We say, a Mickey ice cream a day keeps the villains away!
7. Churros (Frontierland Churro Cart)

Perfectly chewy and doughy inside, with a crunchy outside, dusted with cinnamon sugar and served warm? Sign us up immediately. Not only that, they come with a delicious chocolate dipping sauce. A churro will cost you $6.39, but you’ll forget how much you even spent after tasting the sugary goodness that is a Disney World churro.
8. Candied Bacon Skewer (Westward Ho Refreshments)

The candied bacon skewer is a large slice of very thick-cut bacon, coated in brown sugar, and is served with chips. If you love bacon, we know you’ll love this snack. It’s a quick bite as opposed to some of the other snacks on here, so if you’re in a hurry, or trying to make the queue for your favorite attraction, this is the perfect snack for walking and eating. You can pick this up from Westward Ho Refreshments for $9.99, which isn’t too bad considering it comes with a side (basically another snack!) The candied bacon skewer absolutely deserves recognition, so be sure to give it a try.
9. Turkey Leg (Liberty Square Market)

Luckily for you, you can find another jumbo turkey leg in Magic Kingdom! While this is considered an entrée, if shared with a few people it can certainly qualify as a snack. Similar to the candied bacon skewer, this meaty snack is perfect for a park day on-the-go. Keep in mind they’re only served after 11:00am, so no turkey legs for breakfast unfortunately. This snack will cost you $12.49.
10. Fried Pot Stickers (Sunshine Tree Terrace)

These are the perfect small bite for when you’re feeling hungry, but not hungry enough for a full meal. The crunch on the outside mixed with the flavor on the inside is perfect. The sauce that comes with the pot stickers is tangy and a bit sweet, which counteracts the salty flavor very nicely. These can be purchased for $6.99. This snack proves that Sunshine Tree Terrace is a lot more than just sweet treats!
