Cool & Refreshing Snacks at Magic Kingdom

Walking all day in the hot summer sun is pretty much a given on a Disney World Vacation. It will be sure to make anyone thirsty; quench your thirst with one of these restorative drinks, they are not just the best snacks at Magic Kingdom, but the most refreshing ones as well.


1. Dole Whip Float

Aloha Isle in Adventureland or Storybook Treats

Dole Whip Floats are a light and refreshing take on traditional ice cream floats. These sweet treats are traditionally made with pineapple soft serve and pineapple juice for a tropical twist.

For something a little different, try one of the new Lemon Lime Dole Whip Floats for a tangy, key-lime inspired taste (new in 2019).


2. LeFou’s Brew

Gaston’s Tavern in Fantasyland

This frosty apple drink features a hint of toasted marshmallow and is topped with a delicious foamy mango topping.

Honestly, it is arguably one of the best refreshing snacks in Magic Kingdom! For the full experience, try it in a stein or goblet. We’re told that you may enjoy this drink if your friends use antlers in all of their decorating.


3. Orange-Pineapple-Mango Smoothie

Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies in Tomorrowland

Auntie Gravity’s refreshing smoothies are just the fix for a hot, humid Florida summer day. Tropical flavors blended into a smoothie, cool and refreshing- this is the kind of drink that makes you really feel like you’re on a vacation!


Savory Snacks to Fill Up On

Looking for something a little more substantial? Look no further. These Magic Kingdom snacks can occasionally double as meals, too!


4. Cheeseburger Rolls

Adventureland Snack Cart

Continuing on our list of the best snacks at Magic Kingdom is the cheeseburger spring roll. This snack puts a new spin on the All-American favorite, by turning it into a spring roll! Flaky, crunchy wrapping around a classic cheesy, beefy burger filling- what could be better!

Word on the street is that there are sometimes new flavors available in these savory rolls, such as buffalo chicken or philly cheesesteak- keep your eyes peeled!


5. Loaded Buffalo Chicken Tots

Friar Nook Greek Tots

I think we might need to revisit the name of this snack to truly appreciate it. Loaded. Buffalo. Chicken. Tots. Is your mouth watering yet? You could find a loaded baked potato anywhere.

But loaded buffalo chicken tater tots? That’s magical. Which makes sense, since they are available at the Friar’s Nook in Fantasyland at Magic Kingdom!


6. Honey-Barbequed Brisket Mac and Cheese

They had us at honey-barbequed brisket. This mouthwatering combo features cheesy cheddar mac, topped with golden bread crumbs and fried onions, topped with savory, tender brisket is located at the Plaza Restaurant.

This hearty meal is enough to keep you fueled for hours of fun at Magic Kingdom…or at least until it’s time for dessert!


Feed Your Sweet Tooth

Something sweet for kids of all ages!


7. Dole Whip Cone

Aloha Isle in Adventureland

Probably the most infamous snack on this list, Dole Whip is a Magic Kingdom staple that you simply can’t miss. This creamy pineapple flavored soft-serve comes in a cone and can be swirled with vanilla ice cream or served plain.

From time to time there are also new flavors to try, such as raspberry or lemon-lime. There are even themed cones such as the Rapunzel Dole Whip: a purple cone, yellow lemon Dole Whip, and edible flowers!


8. Nutella & Fruit Waffle Sandwich

Sleepy Hollow Refreshments in Liberty Square

Waffles are no longer just a breakfast food at Magic Kingdom- they can now be enjoyed any time of day, beneath a thick coating of delicious Nutella, topped with fresh fruit and whipped cream. Nutella not your favorite? Don’t worry- there are plenty of other waffle sandwiches to try as well.

BONUS – Checkout the Churro Ice Cream Sandwich at Sleepy Hollow Inn. It is defintiely a contender for one of the best snacks at Magic Kingdom.


9. Sweet & Savory Pretzels

Visit the The Lunching Pad for stuffed pretzels that have never tasted this good. The original Sweet Cream Cheese Filled soft pretzel was already amazing- gooey and warm and full of cream cheese, perfect to take on the go between rides or attractions.

Another great spot for savory snacks at Magic Kingdom is the Cheshire Cafe in Fantasyland. Here you can find a the delicious and iconic Mickey Pretzel.

Now, the Lunching Pad has introduced a second sweet pretzel- the Salted Caramel stuffed pretzel, complete with chocolate dipping sauce. Need we say more? This is definitely a must-have snack in Magic Kingdom.

Now, my personal favorite and one of the best snacks in Magic Kingdom is the Jalapeño Cheese Pretzel. In fact, we love it so much we learned to make it, well technically we cheated and snagged the recipe from Favorite Family Recipe


10. Cheshire Cat Tails

Planning a Disneyland Trip - Don't Skip the Bakery

Cheshire Café in Fantasyland

If you are a fan of chocolate and pastries, the Cheshire Cat Tails in Fantasyland will bring a smile to your face! These twisted pastries are warm and filled with gooey chocolate, topped with bright pink and purple frosting that will remind you of a certain familiar grin! These sweet treats pair well with a cold brew coffee also available at the Cheshire Café.


11. Warm Giant Cinnamon Roll Gaston’s Tavern

Located at Gaston’s Tavern You will find my favorite breakfast item in all of Disney World. The warm Giant Cinnamon Roll. This cinnamon roll used to be located at the Bakery (Now Starbucks) but I was happy to find it is still available.

12. Hei Hei Dole Whip Cone

Best Magic Kingdom Snacks

Aloha Isle in Adventureland

This snack is perfect for fans of Moana, and fans of Dole Whip! The new Hei Hei Cone features two flavors of Dole Whip (pink raspberry and yellow pineapple) atop a blue ice cream cone, with candy eyes and a sour candy feather.

This sweet treat resembles the lovable chicken from Moana, and is as refreshing as a summer breeze on the island of Motonui!

Sure, you can get a Frappuccino anywhere, but there is no place like the happiest place on Earth to enjoy your favorite Starbucks Beverage. This is a great little treat when the Florida heat is ramping up.

The ooey gooey toffee cake is one of Disney’s most amazing desserts. I did not include this on the top 10 because technically you need to be eating at the Liberty Tree Tavern

The cake is a vanilla toffee cake, chocolate sauce, and vanilla ice cream. Check out how to make it at home from Recipes of Disney

    i love your website, have been scanning it for months now prepping for our 3rd WDW trip this year! i am new to the WDW game and have clearly found out that i need to do my homework and research before you go. with that being said, i assume these are more of a “quick service” meal than a “snack” when it comes to the meal plan

    • Mama Munchkin says:

      Hey Ross,

      Most of these items are considered a snack on the dining plan including venti frappuccinos. Some items on this list are not on the dining plan, like Vanelope’s sundae.
