By far the most popular of all the Disney World Parks, Magic Kingdom pulls out all the stops, when it comes to snacks. And seeing how Magic Kingdom is our favorite park, we tend to spend a lot of time there, mostly snacking. And Snacks at Magic Kingdom come in all shapes, sizes and flavors, so well worth your time. While Magic Kingdom does offer a variety of seasonal snacks, many of which you can find in our New Snacks at Walt Disney World post, there are a bunch of treats you can simply enjoy year round. And since most of our Disney trips involve eating, discussing and thinking about Disney food, we thought we would make this list of Magic Kingdom Snacks, so you can make sure you’re only eating the good stuff.
Magic Kingdom snacks are some of the most creative at Walt Disney World, with the exception of snacks at Disney Springs. They also have some of the cheapest snacks at Disney World, which is an absolute blessing. Because chances of you finding yourself at Magic Kingdom for at least two days, and more than any other park are good. And surely, you will need things to eat.

You’ll have fun whether you’re hunting down the newest caramel apple at Big Top Souvenirs or the newest cake pop. From the Confectionery to random carts in Adventureland, where share where you can find each of the best snacks in Magic Kingdom below.
Apple Hand Pie | Friars Nook
Who doesn’t love apple pie filling stuffed in a pastry crust, that you can carry around? By far one of the BEST snacks at Magic Kingdom, this Apple Hand Pie combines flaky pastry crust and gooey apple pie filling. Perfect for sharing, but we also love it aside some ice cream, you can also grab at the Friars Nook. Traditional street food, this Apple Pie can be eaten while walking, but we say, sit down and savor it! Head to Friars Nook just near the Carrousel and Snow White’s Mine Ride, for this luscious treat. It’s seriously the best thing in the parks right now.
Mickey Waffle | Sleepy Hollow
Previously the Waffle Sandwich at Sleepy Hollow, this upgrade comes with a large Mickey Waffle instead and is offered in three options. You can the savory Mickey Waffle with Sweet-and-Spicy Maple Chicken served with Maple-Sriracha Glaze and Parsley Flakes. Or you can grab the sweet versions; Mickey Waffle with Berries and Cream served with Powdered Sugar, Strawberries, Blueberries, and Whipped Cream OR Mickey Waffle with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread and Bananas served with Chocolate-Hazelnut Spread, Bananas, and Whipped Cream. It doesn’t matter which you choose they are all fantastic, and range between $9- $13 each.
Spring Rolls | Adventureland Snack Cart
By far one of the best snacks at Magic Kingdom according to fans, these spring rolls come in a variety of flavors! And truthfully, they’re always fantastic! Crispy on the outside and flavorful and delicious on the inside, these easily made their way to the top of our snack list. The cart that sells them often has different flavors, like veggie and buffalo chicken, cheeseburger, pepperoni pizza and more so keep your eye out for those if you happen to be in the area. You get two spring rolls per dish and they run about $9.
Giant Cinnamon Roll | Gaston’s Tavern
The cinnamon roll at Gaston’s Tavern is what dreams are made of. Big enough to share, with loads of warm ooey-gooey cinnamon filling and topped with plenty of icing, this may be the best cinnamon roll we have found on Disney property. If you’re tempted to grab one at Main Street Bakery during your morning coffee run, fight the temptation, skip it, and head to Gaston’s instead. Your tastebuds will thank you.
Soft Serve Cone | Storybook Treats
While you may not think that a basic soft serve cone would make our best snacks at Magic Kingdom list, Storybook Treats usually pulls out all the stops with these! Serving up themed treats at Storybook Treats, this treat changes often. In the past, there have been the Peter Pan cone, snow white, and the seven dwarfs, and the current run includes both Aurora and Rapunzel cones. As well as a Rapunzel sundae. All delicious, and all a great deal of fun. Be sure to check out the New Snacks at Disney World post for the latest additions to this menu.
Pineapple Upside Cake | Aloha Isle
Ahhh, nothing says snacks at Magic Kingdom like a variety of Dole Whip options. Newer to the Dole Whip crowd, this pineapple upside down cake is topped with your choice of Dole Whip! While this one is not quite as good as the Pineapple Crisp in Animal Kingdom, it sure hits the spot if you’re looking for something more substantial than a regular Dole Whip.
Dole Whip & Dole Whip Float | Aloha Isle
The original classic Disney treat, courtesy of Hawaii, Dole Whip is our go-to, whether it’s hot or cold. It’s light and delicious and you can get it in a few different varieties. This pineapple soft serve is delicious in any form, whether it’s plain, swirled with vanilla, or in the form of a float with pineapple juice. They’re all delicious and just taste like a vacation somewhere in a tropical hideaway. In fact, we love this so much, we’ve done recipes incorporating this flavor. Check out our Dole Whip Tea Latte, and Dole Whip Nachos Recipes.
Loaded Tots | Friar’s Nook
If you love something a little more substantial in your Disney Snack, then these Cheddar, Bacon, and Ranch Tots drizzled with Ranch Dressing and topped with Green Onions are for you. Enough tater tots to constitute a meal or a very shareable snack, these tater tots are loaded with things that could be a meal. So good and I mean, who doesn’t love tater tots? This is also a staple on our Best Non-Dessert Snacks at Disney post. Because who doesn’t love snacks that could also be lunch?
Frozen Mint Julep | Casey’s Corner
Don’t overlook the snacks at Magic Kingdom that can also be necessary hydration during your day. Filled with tart lemon, sugar and mint, this drink is a classic, originally from Disneyland. Sometimes we just head to Casey’s for this sweet, refreshing and icy drink. Better yet, you can mobile order it! And avoid the lines. This sweet drink is a bit tart, and great for both kids and adults.
Cheshire Tail | Cheshire Café
We would consider the Cheshire Cat Tail the best snack in Magic Kingdom. Served warm, this pastry is filled with chocolate and topped with icing. It’s warm and gooey and the pastry is golden and flaky. Perfect for breakfast or to satisfy your sweet tooth, this is one treat we will likely be getting again and again.
Key Lime Pie | Pinocchio’s Village Haus
On our recent visit to Disney World, we spent some tine hunting down Pie at Disney World, and were so pleased to find this one! A staple at everyone’s favorite place for flatbreads in Magic Kingdom, this Key Lime Pie is fresh and bright and perfect for sharing. We loved that it was a departure from the regular snacks you find around the park, and the fact that you can mobile it, is icing on the cake… or pie. As one of our favorite pies at Disney World, be sure to try this one on your next trip.
Sticky Bubble Bread | The Lunching Pad
While this Magic Kingdom snack can sometimes be hit or miss…depending on how much caramel they give you, this is a monkey bread kind of snack, with cinnamon and sugar, topped with warm caramel sauce. The perfect kinds of sweet bread, almost cinnamon roll type treat. It’s only served on the breakfast menu, so be sure to head there before 11:00 AM if you want to grab this one.
Corn Dog Nuggets | Casey’s Corner
A favorite Snack at Magic Kingdom, for just about everyone, including kids, are the Corn Dog Nuggets at Casey’s Corner. These mini corn dogs are perfect for strolling, and you can grab some cheese sauce to really kick it up a notch. Classic theme park food, these are also good for picky children.
LeFou’s Brew | Gaston’s Tavern
Who would have thought that a frozen apple slushy infused with toasted marshmallow syrup, topped with passion fruit foam could be this good. Frankly, it reminds us of butterbeer over at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but we’re not complaining! On hot days in Florida, we’re always on the search for slushies, and this is one of the kid-friendly drinks at Walt Disney World that really tastes amazing. And LeFou’s Brew is always perfect for hot afternoons in the parks.
The Grey Stuff | Gaston’s Tavern
If you’re looking for the grey stuff, it’s delicious! And you can find it over at Gaston’s Tavern! As one of the most popular snacks at Magic Kingdom this treat used to only be available behind the gilded gates of the very expensive Be Our Guest restaurant. Thankfully, they have let this treat out of the castle, and into the nearby tavern. We’re ever so grateful. Also, we realize we probably should have just said, try everything at Gaston’s, because the whole menu is great. The Grey Stuff Cupcake is a chocolate cupcake, topped with gray bettercream and crispy pearls, Yum.
Pepper Jack Pretzel | Frontierland Snack Cart
Forget the Mickey Pretzel! Try this Pepper Jack Pretzel at Magic Kingdom instead. This warm pretzel is warm and chewy and stuffed with pepper jack cheese. It’s absolutely luscious.
