30 Things to Eat at Disney World

Wondering what to eat at Walt Disney World? If you’re visiting the most magical place on earth you want to make sure you’re only eating the good stuff. You know what we’re talking about; the Dole Whip, the Tonga Toast, and yes, ooey gooey cake. But why stop there? What about the loaded mac and cheese at Animal Kingdom? Or the Breakfast Pizza at Ale and Compass? Here is our Disney World Food Guide featuring 30 MUST Try Disney Foods to eat at Walt Disney World.

Thanksgiving Dinner | Liberty Tree Tavern Magic Kingdom

As  Americans, we have to say frequenting Liberty Tree Tavern was not necessarily the top thing on our list, BUT.. this place has the nicest people, the best food, and seriously the best dessert we have ever had at Disney. Word of warning, be prepared to just order more cake. While the Thanksgiving menu is multiple courses and filling, and all you care to enjoy, the cake just comes in a little pan. This means you should plan on ordering a second…at least. 

S’mores Brownie | Diamond Horseshoe Magic Kingdom

The Diamond Horseshoe Restaurant is sometimes overlooked. Right next to Liberty Tree Tavern, this restaurant is table service but is often available by walk-up without a reservation. Here you will find the classic saloon style of the Wild West and the best s’mores brownie ever. Unless you’re big on loads of meat options at dinner, we say skip it and head straight for the dessert. Just grab this brownie and a coffee to make a great afternoon sweet break. 

Dole Whip | Aloha Isle Magic Kingdom

No need to talk up this treat. Found at the Tiki hut next to Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room, this pineapple-flavored treat comes in a bowl or a float with pineapple juice. We like them both. A must-have on any Disney trip. 

Enchiladas | San Angel Inn Restaurante Epcot

Housed inside the Mexico Pavilion this restaurant has authentic Mexican, overlooks the Gran Fiesta Tour ride, and is situated under string lights in a darkened courtyard. While it is a little difficult to see the food and photograph it here, we like the enchiladas, tortilla and dip appetizer, and the churros here. 

French Pastries | Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie Epcot

Tucked away in the back of France at Epcot you can get an authentic cappuccino or croissant sandwich for breakfast or lunch, or just stop to grab a pastry. Les Halles Boulangerie & Patisserie is a smaller location, but there is additional spaces outdoors to find a seat. And it’s well worth the stop, every time. 

Macaron Ice Cream Sandwich | L’artisan Des Glaces Epcot

Home to the famous macaron ice cream sandwiches, wrapped in “newspaper” you can also grab a variety of flavors of ice cream here. A truly decadent treat, this one is worth the splurge. 

Chip and Dale Breakfast | Garden Grill Epcot

We just recently experienced Garden Grill’s breakfast menu with Chip and Dale. Not always offered, but we recommend it when you can get it. For the price, this place rivals only the Whispering Canyon Cafe regarding budget and value. Served family-style you can keep the food coming. And while the strawberry shortcake is worth it and we can’t get enough of the cute interactions with Chip and Dale!

Troll Horn | Kringla Og Cafe Epcot

If you’re up for a bit of Norwegian fare that even the kids will like, then grab some sweets at Kringla Og Cafe. The troll horn is wonderful with a sweet bread dusted with sugar and filled with cream, what’s not to like? 

Caramel Popcorn | Karamell-Kuche Epcot

We love everything at this German Werther’s Shop and find our leftover snack credits always go to good use here. You can wait in line, and watch the caramel corn being made, and the whole caramel-making process, which is cool, and fills the shop with heavenly smells. They’ve also just introduced the Boozy Caramel Flight.

American Dream Slushy| Fife and Drum Epcot

A slushy plus ice cream cold drink, perfect for hot days is a must-have. Striped red, white, and blue you will surely get asked where you got this star-spangled snack. Really though, don’t miss this treat! It’s one of our favorites and a staple on our Kid-Friendly Drinks at Walt Disney World list. 

Quattro Fromaggi Pizza | Via Napoli Quattro Epcot

Via Napoli is considered the quintessential Italian Restaurant at Epcot. Whether you’re getting a pizza or lasagna, you won’t find a more authentic flavor than at Via Napoli in Epcot.

Kakigori | Kabuki Cafe Epcot

Even on the hottest summer days, this cool milky ice is the perfect answer to a crazy hot day! One of the Best Snacks at Epcot , be sure to grab this one!

Mickey’s Kitchen Sink Sundae | Beaches and Cream Soda Shop 

Over at the Beaches and Cream Soda shop you can find themed milkshakes, extravagantly decorated. From donuts to slices of pie, not only do you get layers of ice cream but also amazing treats added to your milkshake. And if you’re with a group, the Kitchen Sink dessert is enough for four people! 

PB and J Milkshake | 50’s Prime Time Café Hollywood Studios

The Peanut Butter and Jelly Milkshake is more than just flavored ice cream, it actually tastes like PB&J! So yummy. While you can go here for the full dinner, or just dessert, get ready for some down-home awkwardness. Because personal boundaries don’t exist here so be ready to get chummy. The food is great and the waitstaff is tired of working- they’ll tell you about it. Just ask.

Ronto Wraps | Ronto Roasters Hollywood Studios

These delicious wraps come in soft pita bread, stuffed with delicious things like sausage and cole slaw, or egg if you’re having the breakfast version. A must-eat, very hearty, and very delicious. Found in Galaxy’s Edge, Hollywood Studios, and one you will want to remake at home. 

Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese | Woody’s Lunch Box Hollywood Studios

Frankly, we love everything at Woody’s Lunch Box. So many great foods! But this tomato soup and grilled cheese taste like pizza! It’s warm and gooey and you can even grab the Woody’s Lunch Box Three Cheese Grilled Cheese Recipe to make at home. 

Chai Tea Slushy | Royal Anandapur Tea Company Hollywood Studios

One of the best treats if you’re looking for something to sip while you walk through the jungles of Animal Kingdom, this Chai Tea Slushy can be made with any kind of milk at this coffee cart run by Joffrey’s. We also love the Peach Tea here. 

Tin Picnic Lunch | Wild Africa Trek Animal Kingdom

You have to actually book the Wild Africa Trek for this lunch. But it’s on the African Savanna, arrives in adorable tins, and you get our absolutely favorite drink, POG, chilled to perfection. There is a vegetarian option, just ask.

Pongu Lumpia | Pongu Pongu Animal Kingdom

Another favorite treat in Animal Kingdom, you can grab the drink, the Night Blossom with or without boba balls. And the Pongu Lumpia is a pineapple and cream cheese roll. The perfect snack for wandering around Pandora. 

Protein Bowls | Satu’li Canteen Animal Kingdom

Especially the bowls with chimichurri sauce. You can also grab full-sized cheeseburger pods here, desserts that could only be made 4.4 lightyears away, and light and refreshing drinks! Check out everything you need to know about Satuli Canteen in Pandora. 

Ohana Bread Pudding | Ohana Polynesian Resort 

By far one of the BEST, if not the best desserts at Walt Disney World. The Ohana Bread Pudding is like a banana cakey moist bread covered in ice cream and warm caramel sauce. So nice. And since it’s all you care to enjoy, you can even ask for some to bring back to your resort with you. 

Tonga Toast | Kona Cafe Polynesian Resort 

Found at Kona Cafe in the Polynesian Village Resort, Tonga Toast is a caramel banana-stuffed french toast, covered in sugar and served with berry sauce.

Bread Service | Sanaa Animal Kingdom Lodge

Head to Animal Kingdom Lodge to the Sanaa Lounge or Sanaa Restaurant for this Naan bread service served with up to 9 sauces. We can never stop raving about Sanaa, seriously one of the best restaurants on Disney property. Be sure to try it.

15 layer Chocolate Cake | Steakhouse 71 Disney’s Contemporary Resort 

Representing the Contemporary Resort’s 15 floors, this chocolate cake can be found at Steakhouse 71 and is perfect for sharing! Very rich chocolate, we recommend having this one with coffee or tea. 

Bottomless Milkshake | Whispering Canyon Cafe Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Whispering Canyon Cafe at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is all about classic home cooking over the fire. As such you can find loads of comfort foods. Among them is a creamy milkshake topped with whipped cream, and can be refilled as many times you like while you dine. 

Storybook Dining  | Artist Point Disney’s Wilderness Lodge

Also at Disney’s Wilderness Lodge is Artist Point. Snagging a highly coveted reservation for Storybook Dining at Artist Point in Wilderness Lodge is a feat! And truthfully you can order anything here because it’s all absolutely phenomenal. We loved the gnocchi, and fancy caramel popcorn dessert after dinner. 

Thanksgiving Sandwich | Earl of Sandwich Disney Springs

We love heading to Earl of Sandwich for an easy meal. So much so that it’s made several of our lists, including the Best Quick Service Dining at Walt Disney World. This sandwich is filled with roasted turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and gravy. Served all year. 

Burger and Fries | D-Luxe Burger Disney Springs

One of the best Burgers at Walt Disney World is found in Disney Springs. D-Luxe Burger serves a variety of burgers complete with toppings, and loads of sauce options. We love that they also have a vegetarian burger, and serve up specialty milkshakes throughout the season. 

Homemade S’mores | The Ganachery Disney Springs

Make your own s’mores at The Ganachery at Disney Springs. Complete with roasted marshmallows, homemade graham crackers, and chocolate, you get to watch part of the process and build your own to take home. 

Rise and Shine Brunch | Chef Art Smiths Homecomin’ Disney Springs

The Fried Chicken and Donuts, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Hummingbird Cake are all favorites at the Rise N Shine Brunch. Frankly, everything here is fantastic.
