WDW Snacks - Give Me Your Must Haves

[slo]

So…..mine and DD19’s Girls Trip is right around the corner - so excited!!!


We’ve never had WDW snacks in the past - I didn’t want my kids getting stuffed with snacks and then not eating at the character dinners. So now that DD19 is 19, we are planning on grazing around the parks during the afternoons instead of having lunches - we think it’ll be fun. So….please give me your go to snacks - we are going to all 4 parks.

Many DISers were so helpful for our last Florida trip, so I’m hoping you all can give me some good suggestions again.

Thanks a bunch!!!!

Where are you staying? Will you go to Disney Springs?

The bakery at the Boardwalk always has a variety of treats that look amazing. I also like a sundae at the Ghirardelli’s at Disney Springs.

I am so far behind on WDW snacks. Have been there 20 times but rarely get snacks. My husband’s not into snacks and even though I would like one, he just rolls his eyes, and I get the “do you really need that?” look, so I don’t bother. Still have never had a Mickey bar. Tried my first Mickey pretzel in 2019 with my sister and loved it. Got it again in 2021 and it was horrible. Also tried the frozen strawberry bar and they are delicious. Dole Whips are good too. That’s about all I’ve had.

We are staying at AllStar Movies.

We will be going to Disney Springs the night we arrive. We have an ADR at Rainforest Cafe (since it left Chicago we like to now go to this one)

DD would like to see The Boardwalk - if we go, we’ll check out the bakery.

Thanks

We do like those, but this year I kinda want to find out what all the excitement is about the Orange Bird (or whatever it’s called). I’m curious about it. Anyone have any thoughts about this drink/snack?

I'm not huge into the WDW snacks but I'll tell you, a churo is often times hard to say no to! I also have been known to enjoy a rice krispie treat. And dessert, I love a good chocolate dessert! Obviously, I've a sweet tooth! My husband will usually indulge in a turkey leg, more for nostalgia than anything else. And the popcorn, he loves the popcorn.

Honestly - you should have looked him right in the eye and said "yes. yes I do." and then gotten it!

I love Mickey bars and always get one Dole Whip float.

I loved the crepe with strawberry jam at the crepe stand in Epcot. This was a few years ago though and I'm not sure if the crepe stand is even there anymore.

The one thing I've noticed about snacks is it seems there is often quite a line for many of them, especially in the afternoons. I would love to have tried more, but we just couldn't dedicate that much time to waiting in line to buy them!

Warm cinnamon roll at Gaston's Tavern?

Funnel cake at Sleepy Hollow. It's so big two can share it, fresh and warm with lots of powdered sugar. Also the corn dog nuggets at Casey's Corner are so good.

Funnel cake at Sleepy Hollow?

OO-do I have it wrong? I thought it was Sleepy Hollow, but it may have been the post-funnel cake sugar coma.

Thanks everyone for your replies - very appreciated

No, no, BSH. I posted at same time as you. My? was to @slo as to whether she might try.

Dockside Diner by Echo Lake in the Studios always has some interesting, different offerings.

Drinking chocolate at Ghirardelli at Disney Springs. It's not hot chocolate, it's drinking chocolate. Pretty much tastes like the best dark chocolate bar you've only had, only hot and melted. Amazing!

If you guys are in the Boardwalk area, swing over to the Dolphin and visit The Fountain. So many great ice cream choices and yummies! Gives B&C over at the BC a run for the money.
