Snacks at WDW
How do I find the best snacks at the Walt Disney World Parks
If you’re a snacky type, you’re in the right place. Sitting down and having a nice meal is fun. But an all day adventure requires some small breaks and snacks to keep you going!
Plus, the social media moguls have us hankering for all those amazing things they show us. But how do I know where to find it and is it even served anymore?
I am a big fan of snacking around the parks and trying new things and definitely knowing right where my stand-by favorites are (cheeseburger spring rolls!!)
Other than popcorn and the traditional ice cream, churros and turkey legs, Disney Parks offer seasonal treats all year long. The way to find these fun treats is to look for the small stands around the parks. They are mostly all right out in the open and easy to spot. But you have to know to look at each menu to see what they’re offering. Sometimes even the quick service restaurants will offer something different and fun. It’s usually something sweet, so be sure to look for little signs at the registers and scroll around on the app menu.
Instead of keeping up with current snack options and seasonal offerings, I’ve made a giant list of places to look while you’re in the park on your own. Teach a person to fish, ya know?
I didn’t include any photos so you can use this guide on the fly. I would even encourage you to copy it to your notes app on your phone so that while you’re standing in fantasyland with hangry friends and family you can click a link to get to the closest spot!

Dinoland USA
I don’t usually go to Joffrey’s since I’m more of a savory snacker, but I do sometimes stop at the stand outside of the park to grab a drink or snack to share with my kids for the drive.
Epcot
Epcot is a whole beast when it comes to food choices! Since there are several festivals throughout the year that you can peruse. I’m going to list the places to stop that are year round, in case you go when there’s no festival!
If you’re a morning coffee and pastry fiend, there is a Joffrey’s inside of security but before you scan into the park for your early morning or late night snack.

The Land Cart (Smoothies)

*L’Artisan Des Glaces (brioche ice cream sandwich)

Mitsukoshi (Shop in Tokyo has tons of Japanese food items)

*Sommerfest (Pretzel bread pudding)
Refreshment Outpost (coke slush)
Kringle Bakeri Og Kafe (School bread, Viking coffee)
La Cantina de San Angel (Nachos)
So, loads of options! Connections Eatery is a great place to have a meal or snack, Starbucks is there too! Each country has its own place to have a quick meal and most have a sit-down restaurant or two to choose from. But most of these require a reservation.
Look for the small stand-style buildings and check the menus! Also look at the registers for little signs that might be advertising a limited time offering.
